Received March 20, 2019; Accepted May 13, 2019; Epub July 15, 2019; Published July 30, 2019 Abstract: This study retrospectively investigated the effects of obvious head shape defect in sperm on embryo development and pregnancy outcome. Couples with severe oligospermia (total sperm count was less than several hundred, thus not enough for morphological assessment) were divided into two groups based on morphological ob- servation of sperm head. Group 1 (N=45): sperm with obvious head shape defects (large or small, tapered, pyriform and amorphous head defects). Group 2 (N=166): sperm with “good looking head shape”. The parameters of em- bryo development and pregnancy outcome were compared between the two groups. There were lower fertilization rates, availablity rate, high-quality embryo rate and cumulative live birth rate and higher miscarriage rate in Group 1 when compared with Group 2. No birth defects in the two groups were reported in the clinic. Embryo development and pregnancy outcome with fresh versus frozen-thawed sperm were similar in two groups. However, poor embryo development and pregnancy outcome were found in the obvious head shape defect sperm group regardless of us- ing fresh or frozen-thawed sperm.

Abstract Extra-renal manifestations of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) have been known to involve male reproductive organs, including cysts in testis, epididymis, seminal vesicles, and prostate. The reported prevalence of seminal vesicle cysts in patients with ADPKD varies widely, from 6% by computed tomography (CT) to 21%–60% by transrectal ultrasonography. However, seminal vesicles in ADPKD that are dilated, with a diameter greater than 10 mm by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are In: Polycystic Kidney Disease.

  • Effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine on Sperm Parameters with a Focus on DNA Fragmentation: a Literature Synthesis
    Effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine on Sperm Parameters with a Focus on DNA Fragmentation: A Literature Synthesis A Capstone Project Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine By Virginia C. Prior, MATCM, L.Ac., Dipl.O.M. Yo San University Los Angeles California December, 2011 3 Abstract This project is a literature synthesis of research done on the possible effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on sperm parameters with a focus on DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) in an effort to treat male infertility. Research studies and articles were gathered, summarized and qualitative data were extracted for analysis in order to investigate how acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine may affect sperm, DFI and male infertility. Background and etiologies of DNA fragmentation, poor sperm quality and male infertility were examined. TCM was found to have a positive effect on semen parameters, hormone levels, immune markers and antioxidant levels, potentially facilitating fertilization, pregnancy and live birth rates in both natural conception as well as with the use of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Larger, more controlled studies need to be done. Currently, there are no studies published on the potential effect of TCM on DFI, which might be a valuable investigation to pursue. 4 Table of Contents Title Page ……………………………………………………………………………… 1 Approval Signature Page………………………………………………………………. 2 Abstract………………………………………………………………………………… 3 Table of Contents………………………………………………………………………. 4 List of Tables…………………………………………………………………………... 8 Chapter One: Introduction…….…………………………………………………….. 9 Background and Need for the Project …………………………………………. 9 Male Factor Infertility …………………………………………………. 9 Semen Analysis ………………………………………………………... 9 Sperm DNA Integrity …………………………………………………. 10 Measurement of DNA Damage: Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) …………………………………………………………..

While the main organ targeted in this disease is the lungs, other vital organs may be implicated. The main host receptor of the SARS-CoV-2 is angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a major component of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). The ACE2 is also involved in testicular male regulation of steroidogenesis and spermatogenesis. A recent report published in JAMA Network revealed that in an analysis 38 semen samples from COVID‐19 patients pcr +ve.
