Sperm samples were collected from six adult rat also by chopping the epididymis along with the collection of testicles, epididymis, and liver. The semen, sperm, and tissue samples were grouped into control, 1, 2, and 4 mg HEE exposed categories. Sensitive spermiological sensors, androgenic key enzymes, oxidative stress, and metabolic toxicity markers were assessed according to standard protocols. Human semen samples, rat sperm samples and metabolic tissue samples were divided into 16 test tubes in all of the above groups to find out the direct effect of the extract on such sensors in concentration and duration dependent manner.Results: Spermiological sensors both in human and rat were decreased significantly (p<0.05) in concentration and duration dependent manner after in vitro exposure of HEE against the control group. Testicular ∆5,3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase activities were significantly (p<0.05) decreased, and level of the end product of lipid oxidation-peroxidation was elevated (p<0.05) in rat after extract charging. No general toxicity imposition of the said extract indicated by the activities of hepatic transaminases.

Grafted testicular tissue was evaluated eight weeks after implantation using H&E staining, real-time PCR, immunofluorescence staining, and TUNEL assay. Blood was drawn from recipient mice to determine testosterone, FSH, and LH levels.Results: A gradient of different types of germ cells, from spermatogonia to elongated spermatids was observed. The upregulation of meiotic and post-meiotic genes and proteins in fresh and frozen grafted groups confirmed the progression of meiosis and post-meiosis in grafted tissues. There were no significant differences in the expression of apoptosis and necrosis genes between the grafted and non-grafted control groups.

They were divided into PPOS (n=44) and CPOS (n=42). Both groups underwent COS with hormonal injections, and various parameters, such as LH surge, cycle cancellation rates, birth rates, implantation rates, and more, were measured and compared.Results: The study revealed that LH surge occurred in 2.3% of the PPOS group and 2.5% of the CPOS group, with no significant difference (p=0.9). The cycle cancellation rates were 9.1% for PPOS and 10% for CPOS. Birth rates were 57% for PPOS and 54% for CPOS. Implantation rates were 45% for PPOS and 49% for CPOS. There was no significant difference in the duration of stimulation (PPOS: 11.30±1.96 days, CPOS: 11.41±2.02 days, p=0.807) or the total FSH used (PPOS: 2888.95±791.80IU, CPOS: 2808±834.52IU, p=0.655). The PPOS group had a mean of 19.58±8.07 retrieved oocytes, while the CPOS group had a mean of 21.87±10.02, showing no significant difference (p=0.807).

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that one in six people globally who are of reproductive age may have infertility at some point in their lives. In this environment, it has become noteworthy for couples or patients to want to become pregnant through operations carried out by Assisted Human Reproduction Centers (AHRCs). This continual quest for AHRCs has already been demonstrated in Brazil, where data from the National Embryo Production System (SISEMBRIO) show that as of 2022, there were around 192 clinics nationally that offered AHRC services, and a total of 284,210 frozen embryos. The ethical conundrums that these techniques provide persist notwithstanding their remarkable success in helping patients achieve clinical pregnancies and viable embryos. The absence of legislation on reproductive assistance is another significant factor pertaining to Brazilian regulatory resolutions. As a result, clinics, hospitals, and sperm banks operating in this field are required to adhere to guidelines created by the Federal Council of Medicine (CFM). The first resolution was published on September 30, 1992. In light of the aforementioned, acquiring and keeping an eye on the standards that the CFM has developed over time helps enhance knowledge of the moral and legal framework that governs Brazil. Thus, the current study attempts to provide a comparative analysis of Brazilian ethical norms regarding the use of assisted human reproduction technology.","PeriodicalId":46364,"journal":{"name":"Jornal Brasileiro de Reproducao Assistida","volume":" ","pages":"6-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11867254/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142839830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We compared patients who had the first sperm retrieval ever and patients who had more than one sperm retrieval performed. In addition, the rate of adequate sperm retrieved for ICSI and reproductive outcomes between the groups and literature were compared. The primary outcome was the rate of adequate sperm retrieved for ICSI; the secondary outcomes were reproductive.Results: The successful sperm retrieval was 157 in 157 attempts, with a cumulative sperm retrieval rate of 100%, whether the first or repeated retrieval attempt.

The panel is based on an analysis of 40 studies published over the past 38 years. We identified 31 bacterial genera, with the following five being the most frequently cited: Chlamydia and Ureaplasma with 11.03% each, Streptococcus and Mycoplasma with 9.56% each, and Enterococcus with 8.09%. Regarding its etiological aspects, we found that bacterial infection is the most prevalent cause of the disease, occurring because of invasive procedures such as curettage, cesarean section, or insertion of intrauterine devices (IUDs), among others. These events facilitate the entry of pathogenic microorganisms into the uterus, resulting in an inflammatory response and subsequent development of endometritis. The main techniques used to detect these pathogens were microbial culture, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), and Next-Generation Sequencing, with microbial culture being the most employed, followed by PCR or a combination of both techniques. This diversity of techniques has significantly expanded our understanding of the presence and identification of microorganisms associated with the pathophysiology of endometritis. Therefore, it is understood that these findings serve as a foundation for further investigations of microorganisms related to endometritis, and such analyses will help to clarify the relationship between endometritis and the bacteria that cause it.","PeriodicalId":46364,"journal":{"name":"Jornal Brasileiro de Reproducao Assistida","volume":" ","pages":"150-159"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11867259/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142839774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the profile of FFA in seminal plasma in asthenozoospermic patients following antioxidant therapy has not been studied.Methods: In this case-control study, the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and FFA profile of the seminal plasma were determined in 80 patients (29 normozoospermic volunteers and 51 asthenozoospermic men) who were treated with antioxidants for three months.Results: The TAC level in normozoospermic men was significantly higher than in asthenozoospermic men before and after antioxidant therapy with even lower values after the treatment (p=0.0001). The most abundant identified FFAs in seminal plasma were palmitic acid, vaccenic acid, eicosatrienoic acid, stearic acid, and myristoleic acid. Palmitic acid was lower in asthenozoospermic patients (p=0.0001), and antioxidant treatment restored its level to near-control levels.
