Effect of hormonal manipulation using clomiphene citrate prior to microdissection testicular sperm retrieval

open access: yesUrology Annals, 2021
Introduction: Microdissection Testicular Sperm Extraction (micro-TESE) is a surgical method used for retrieving sperm from men with non-obstructive azoospermia.

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

Sperm retrieval success and testicular histopathology in idiopathic nonobstructive azoospermia

open access: yesAsian Journal of Andrology, 2020
Prior studies have investigated sperm retrieval rates in men with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) secondary to specific etiologies, yet most cases of NOA are idiopathic.

The fertility preservation decision-making and testicular sperm retrieval outcome in older adolescents with nonmosaic Klinefelter syndrome and azoospermia

open access: yesJournal of the Chinese Medical Association, 2021
Background: This study aims to analyze the fertility preservation decision-making and the sperm retrieval rate (SRR) in older adolescents (age 15–19 years) with nonmosaic Klinefelter syndrome (KS) and azoospermia in a male reproductive clinic, and to ...

PSMA8‐Containing 20S Proteasome Regulates Spermiogenesis and Male Fertility

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
PSMA8 assembles s20S proteasome that degrades specific substrates in elongating spermatids. Degradation of s20S‐substrates activates translation of FXR1‐target mRNAs, which are essential for mitochondrial sheath formation and sperm morphogenesis.

Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction Results in Nonobstructive Azospermic Disease and Evaluation of the Factors Affecting These Results

open access: yesActa Medica Alanya, 2017
Aim: To investigate the hormonal properties and results of 71 patients, who were diagnosed with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) and performed micro-TESE (microsurgical testicular sperm extraction) at  our clinic, and the relationship of these results ...

Seminal plasma extracellular vesicles tRF-Val-AAC-010 can serve as a predictive factor of successful microdissection testicular sperm extraction in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia

open access: yesReproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2022
Background There is a lack of biomarkers for distinguishing non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) patients with successful sperm retrieval (Sp+) from those with failed sperm retrieval (Sp-).

Nanoscale Spatial Organization of ARC High‐ and Low‐Order Assemblies at Excitatory Synapses

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ARC (Activity‐Regulated Cytoskeleton‐Associated protein) mediates synaptic plasticity by forming nanoscale assemblies in neurons. Using super‐resolution microscopy and time‐resolved anisotropy with targeted tagging, the study reveals low‐order ARC assemblies at synapses colocalizing with AMPARs, semi‐circular structures at endocytic zones, and 60–80 nm

Analysis of factors affecting repeat microdissection testicular sperm extraction outcomes in infertile men

open access: yesUrology Research and Practice, 2019
Objective: There is no clear consensus on which patients and how many of microscopic testicular sperm extraction (mTESE) procedures will be successful. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the sperm retrieval rates and factors affecting these rates in men
