Distribution of spermatogenesis in the testicles of azoospermic men: the presence or absence of spermatids in the testes of men with germinal failure [published erratum appears in Hum Reprod 1998 Mar;13(3):780]

The aim of the study was to determine whether a prior diagnostic testicle biopsy can predict success or failure of testicular sperm extraction (TESE) with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia caused by testicular failure, and what is the minimum threshold of sperm production in the testis which must be surpassed for spermatozoa to reach the ejaculate. Forty- five patients with non-obstructive azoospermia caused by testicular failure underwent diagnostic testicle biopsy prior to a planned future TESE-ICSI procedure. The diagnostic testicle biopsy was analysed quantitatively, and correlated with the quantitative findings of spermatogenesis in patients with normal spermatogenesis, as well as with the results of subsequent attempts at TESE-ICSI. Men with non- obstructive azoospermia caused by germinal failure had a mean of 0-6 mature spermatids/seminiferous tubule seen on a diagnostic testicle biopsy, compared to 17-35 mature spermatids/tubule in men with normal spermatogenesis and obstructive azoospermia. These findings were the same for all types of testicular failure whether Sertoli cell only, maturation arrest, cryptorchidism, or post-chemotherapy azoospermia. Twenty-two of 26 men with mature spermatids found in the prior testis biopsy had successful retrieval of spermatozoa for ICSI, 12 of their partners became pregnant, and are either ongoing or delivered. The study suggests that 4-6 mature spermatids/tubule must be present in the testis biopsy for any spermatozoa to reach the ejaculate. More than half of azoospermic patients with germinal failure have minute foci of spermatogenesis which are insufficient to produce spermatozoa in the ejaculate. Prior diagnostic testicle biopsy analysed quantitatively (for the presence of mature spermatids) can predict subsequent success or failure with TESE-ICSI. Incomplete testicular failure may involve a sparse multi-focal distribution of spermatogenesis throughout the entire testicle, rather than a regional distribution. Therefore, it is possible that massive testicular sampling from many different regions of the testes may not be necessary for successful TESE-ICSI.      

Adhesion inhibitory activity of β-lactoglobulin isolated from infant formulae

β-Lactoglobulin was isolated from infant formulae that were ultra high temperature (UHT) -treated, sterilized or spray-dried. The effect of the isolated β-lactoglobulin on SfaII-fimbriae-mediated adhesion of Escherichia coli to human ileostomy glycoproteins was studied in vitro. β-Lactoglobulin isolated from sterilized formulae was found to perform significantly less well than preparations from spray-dried formulae (p = 0:05). Great heterogeneity was observed in the adhesion inhibitory capacity of β-lactoglobulin isolated from UHT-treated formulae. Therefore, no significant difference was observed between UHT-treated and sterilized formulae or spray-dried formulae (p < 0:10). It can be hypothesized that β-lactoglobulin from spray-dried and some UHT-treated infant formulae may affect the colonization of mucous membranes by E. coli strains causing neonatal septicaemia and meningitis.

33例精神分裂症患者氯丙嗪治疗前后血小板聚集功能

本文对精神分裂症患者用氯丙嗪治疗前后PAg(T)功能进行观察及BPRS评定,发现精分症患者PAg(T)功能明显高于对照组,用氯丙嗪治疗1个月后,BPRS评定分值下降,患者临床症状消除,而PAg(T)第一时相无变化,第二时相明显升高,说明氯丙嗪聚药物可促发血小板释放内源性致聚物质,同时也说明患者PAg(T)异常不仅仅是情绪应激所致,更重要的是血小板生理功能异常。     

Recurrent lens binding and central island formations in a fast-responding orthokeratology lens wearer.

A 12-year-old girl with a history of fast myopia progression underwent advanced orthokeratology (ortho-k) treatment and suffered from recurrent lens binding and central corneal staining. The problem could not be fixed by lens fenestration and refitting with a less aggressive lens (three-zone ortho-k) design. After refitting with a lower target advanced ortho-k lens, these complications were no longer occurring, and the amount of power reduction was greater than expected considering the target designed for the refitted lenses. During the following 15 months of ortho-k lens wear, there was no clinically significant change to her refractive error. The patient and her parents were happy with the outcome, although the refractive error was not totally eliminated and she still needed to wear spectacles for clear vision. Possible etiologies of the complications are discussed.     

Efficacy of minor analgesics in primary dysmenorrhoea: a systematic review

Objective To quantify the efficacy and safety of naproxen, ibuprofen, mefenamic acid, aspirin and acetaminophen (paracetamol) in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhoea through a systemic overview of randomised controlled trials.
Methods MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Science Citation Index were searched for randomised controlled trials. Efficacy was assessed by measurement of pain relief, requirement for rescue analgesics, restriction of daily life and absence from work or school. The rate ratios of side effects were used to assess safety.
Results Fifty-six trials describing 55 comparisons of analgesics with placebo and 12 direct comparisons with other analgesics met our inclusion criteria. Women taking naproxen were over three times more likely to have at least moderate pain relief than those taking placebo. Ibuprofen, mefenamic acid and aspirin were also superior to placebo but acetaminophen was not. The requirement for rescue analgesics, restriction of daily life and absence from work or school were less frequent with naproxen and ibuprofen than placebo but not with aspirin or acetaminophen. Direct comparisons did not show any difference between naproxen and ibuprofen. Side effects occurred more frequently only with naproxen when compared with placebo.
Conclusion Naproxen, ibuprofen, mefenamic acid and aspirin are all effective in primary dysmenorrhoea. Ibuprofen appears to have the most favourable risk-benefit ratio. Acetaminophen appears to be less effective than nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, but there was only one trial meeting our inclusion criteria and further studies are required.
