Nine patients (9/33, 27.2%) were detected in the azoospermic group and three (3/29, 10.3%) in the severe oligozoospermic group. RT-PCR analysis from testicular cells gave normal amplifications for SRY and DFFRY mRNA in 62 idiopathic patients; two patients were negative for RBM expression; no RBM and DAZ were detected for a case; 12 patients had no expression in the AZFc region involving the DAZ gene. Of 12 cases, three patients with normal PCR analysis of DAZ gene on genomic DNA showed no RT-PCR amplification for DAZ mRNA.

The characteristics of 24 men who sought excision of symptomatic spermatoceles were reviewed. Specific characteristics included subject age, duration of diagnosis, symptom type, and symptom duration. Spermatoceles were characterized by size, sidedness, and associated findings. Simple descriptive statistics were used for analysis. The mean age of men seeking spermatocelectomy was 46 years. Most men (58%) sought surgery due to a combination of pain and sensation of mass. The mean duration of symptoms was 48 months. At the time of excision, the average size of spermatoceles was 4.2 cm in greatest diameter, and most (71%) were right sided. Men who experienced pain as an isolated symptom were younger by approximately 10 years compared to those who experienced mass.

It can avoid side effects of ovarian stimulation with gonadotropins. However, at the present the successful results of IVM treatment are lower than conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. The key issue may be the IVM medium for immature oocyte maturation. In the present study, we compared 20% (v/v) human follicular fluid (hFF) and 20% (v/v) human umbilical cord serum (hUS) as a supplement to IVM medium. A total of 47 patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) underwent 47 IVM treatment cycles. Immature oocytes (349) collected from 32 patients were cultured in IVM medium supplemented with hFF, and immature oocytes (160) collected from 15 patients were culture in IVM medium supplemented with hUS. The results indicate that the final maturation rate of oocytes cultured in IVM medium supplemented with hUS (93.8%) is significantly higher than those cultured in IVM medium supplemented with hFF (77.1%). The percentage of high-quality embryos produced from IVM medium supplemented with hUS (50.0%) is significantly higher than IVM medium supplemented with hFF (23.8%). In addition, the results also indicate that the final maturation rate of oocytes is higher in IVM medium supplemented with hUS and the time course of oocyte maturation is hastened. Following transfer 6 out of 15 patients (40.0%) become pregnant when IVM medium was supplemented with hUS, and 7 out of 31 patients (22.6%) were pregnant when IVM medium was supplemented with hFF.
