Does the Primo Vascular System Originate from the Polar Body

Background: Polar bodies degenerate on the first day of embryonic life, and there is no known or specific role for them in the human embryo yet. However, it is not logical to have useless cells. Our previous reports indicated a role for the primo vascular system (PVS) in human beings. There is a possible link between polar bodies and the PVS in embryonic life. Methods: The following databases were searched for peer-reviewed articles in English: Cochrane Collaboration, PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, AMED, Age line, and Social Services Abstracts. Our search included the following key words individually or in combination: alternative medicine(s), integrated medicine, holistic care, complementary alternative medicine, embryology, traditional Chinese medicine, traditional medicine, PVS, Bong Han duct in relation to polar bodies. Results: There are no reports relating polar bodies to our keywords. Conclusion: The PVS has been suggested to be responsible for embryonic development. This system contains some pluripotent cells and proteins, some of which are not even present in the blood circulation in chicken embryos. The system becomes only visible after staining with trypan blue. Accordingly, this report tries to present the PVS as the ruler of embryonic cell division and development, which regulates all complicated events during that period of life. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report suggesting that embryonic development is controlled via the PVS, which originates from polar bodies. i 2014 S. Karger AG, Basel
