nificant number of ART cycles and is found to be cost-effective as it avoids incurring the cost of two ART cycles. Ca signaling pathway is suggested to play an essential role in mediating oocyte maturation. The aim of this study was to evaluate intracellular Ca of resistant immature oocytes that failed to resume meiosis following subsequent culture reach metaphase II after calcium ionophore A23187 activation. This analytical experimental study was conducted at Animal Science Laboratory of Indonesian Medical Education and Research Institute (IMERI), Human Reproductive Infertility and Family Planning of IMERI, and Electrophysiology Imaging of Terpadu Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia. A total of 308 oocytes classed as resistant immature following culture were randomly allocated to control ( = 113) and treatment groups ( = 195). The oocyte activation group was exposed to A23187 solution for 15 min and then washed extensively. Maturation was evaluated by observing the first polar body extrusion 20‒24 h after A23187 exposure. Ca imaging was conducted using a confocal laser scanning microscope to identify the dynamic of Ca response. SPSS 20, Chi-square, and Mann-Whitney U-test were used in this study. Activation of resistant immature oocytes with A23187 significantly increased the number of oocyte maturation compared with the control group ( < 0.001). Furthermore, fluorescent intensity measurements exhibited a significant increase in the germinal vesicle stage when activated ( = 0.005), as well as the metaphase I stage, even though differences were not significant ( = 0.146). Artificial activation of resistant immature oocyte using chemical A23187/calcimycin was adequate to initiate meiosis progress. Artificial activation of resistant immature oocyte using chemical A23187/calcimycin was adequate to initiate meiosis progress. In controlled ovarian hyperstimulation cycles, 15% of oocytes have been proven to be immature. Key factors include failure in signal transmission from the cumulus cell to the oocyte, insufficient level of luteinizing hormone, and internal conditions of the oocyte itself. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) on the maturity of partially cumulus-denuded immature oocytes collected after controlled ovarian stimulation for fertilization (IVF). This was a prospective, randomized controlled design at the department of obstetrics and gynaecology, university hospital. Infertile women underwent gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist stimulated protocol for IVF with final maturation triggered by hCG, partially cumulus-denuded immature human oocytes were allocated to two groups the first was treated with fertilization medium and the second was treated with fertilization medium and hCG. They were cultured for 24 h. Outcomes measured were the oocylemented medium had a higher quality based on the measured G6PD activity. Premature ejaculation (PME) can be defined as a lack in the normal voluntary control over ejaculation. It is the most common sexual dysfunction encountered by the male populace. In general, these patients presents with distress. Hence, a novel treatment to eliminate their problem is required. Although the role of SSRI has already been established, the high discontinuation rate and other types of sexual dysfunctions associated with SSRIs reduce their efficacy in controlling this menace. Levosulpiride is a new drug indicated in treatment of PE. The objective is to study the efficacy of levosulpiride; paroxetine and their comparison in patients of PE. Index of premature ejaculation (IPE) and intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) were used. A total of 36 patients (18 in each grou
