Sperm retrieval techniques in azoospermic patients: PESA, MESA, TESA, TESE and MICROTESE [PDF]

open access: yesEinstein (São Paulo), 2009
Azoospermia is defined as the absence of mature spermatozoa in semen analysis after centrifugation. The causes of azoospermia may be related to spermatogenesis defects and classified as non-obstructive azoospermia, or to the obstruction of the efferent ...

Sperm Telomere Interactions Are Impaired in Testicular Cancer Before and After Adjuvant Therapy

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background No study has yet explored telomere length or interaction in sperm nuclei of testicular cancer (TC) patients exposed to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. However, sperm telomere dynamics have emerged as a potential marker in male infertility.

Aloe vera toxic effects: expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in testis of Wistar rat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Objective(s): Nitric oxide (NO), a product of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), contributes in germ cell apoptosis. This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of Aloe vera gel (AVG) on male Wistar rat reproductive organ, serum NO level, and ...

Microtubule Inner Protein CFAP77 Contributes to Sperm Motility and Male Fertility in Mice

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sperm motility is essential for male fertility, and its regulation is dependent on the structural integrity of the axoneme. The axoneme consists of a conserved “9+2” microtubule arrangement and is supported by microtubule inner proteins. However, the functional significance of many microtubule inner proteins remains unclear.

Seminal Plasma Exosomal miRNA Profiling Reveals hsa‐miR‐7‐5p as a Key Regulator of Sperm Motility in Asthenozoospermia

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Asthenozoospermia is a significant contributing factor to male infertility. Accumulating evidence indicates that impaired sperm motility is closely linked to dysregulated microRNA expression during spermatogenesis. Seminal plasma exosomes are enriched with diverse microRNAs, which play pivotal roles in modulating sperm motility, the

Cryopreservation of Spermatozoa Prior and Post‐Orchiectomy in Patients With Testicular Germ Cell Cancer—Does the Timing Matter?

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Testicular germ cell cancer (TGCC) is the most frequent malignancy in young men of reproductive age. According to guidelines, semen cryopreservation should be performed prior to orchiectomy. Lack of time and local facilities as well as mental pressure are challenges in terms of fertility preservation before surgery.

THE OUTCOMES OF MICRODISSECTION TESE AND PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC DIAGNOSIS FOR PATIENTS WITH KLINEFELTER’S SYNDROME

open access: yesUrology Research and Practice, 2019
Introduction: Testicular sperm extraction (TESE) for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) was first introduced for treatment of obstructive azoospermia and then testicular sperm were retrieved successfully for ICSI in patients with non-obstructive ...

Comprehensive Quantification of Oligoasthenozoospermia Induced by Obesity, Reproductive Toxicants, and Their Combination in Rat Models

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oligoasthenozoospermia is a leading cause of male infertility and has been increasingly associated with the global surge in obesity and exposure to reproductive toxicants. Despite extensive research on each factor individually, their combined pathological effects remain poorly understood.

A Unified Machine Learning Model for Relapse Prediction in Clinical Stage I Testicular Cancer

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Approximately one‐fourth of patients with clinical stage I testicular cancer relapse. For decades, risk stratification has been based on different tumor characteristics for seminomas and non‐seminomas. Previous studies primarily used Cox proportional‐hazards models and included only a limited number of variables.
