The influence of processed total non-forward and non-motile sperm count on the outcome of artificial insemination with the husband’s semen

BackgroundArtificial insemination with the husband’s semen (AIH) is an economical and noninvasive method of infertility treatment. However, AIH’s pregnancy rate is much lower than in vitro fertilization (IVF) as its multiple and complex uncertainty factors. Semen quality has been one of the main factors which affect the pregnancy outcome of AIH.MethodsThe relevant parameters of 1,142 AIH cycles were retrospectively studied, including the general parameters and the semen quality parameters among clinical pregnancy, biochemical pregnancy, non-pregnancy group, age, infertility duration, infertility type, body mass index (BMI), cycle count, morphology in previously semen examination, and semen quality parameters on the day of AIH.ResultsThe statistically significant difference was only found on processed total non-forward and non-motile sperm count (N-TFMSC). The mean processed N-TFMSC in the biochemical pregnancy group was 6.37±4.27 million, significantly higher than the other two groups (vs. 4.40±3.15 million or vs. 4.48±3.60 million, P<0.05). The study was then divided into two groups according to processed N-TFMSC, Group 1 ≤5.0 million, and Group 2 >5.0 million. A statistical increase in biochemical pregnancy rate was observed when the processed N-TFMSC was >5.0 million (2.72% vs. 0.90%).ConclusionsProcessed N-TFMSC may be one of the independent factors on AIH’s outcome; it should be given equal attention the same as processed total forward motile sperm count (TFMSC).     

自然周期与促排卵周期联合宫腔内人工授精临床疗效的meta分析

目的系统评价自然周期和促排卵周期联合宫腔内人工授精(intrauterine insemination,IUI)对不孕患者治疗的有效性,旨在更合理有效的指导临床治疗。方法计算机检索2000年1月至2013年6月中国生物医学文献数据库(CBMDisc)、万方数据库、中国学术期刊网专题全文数据库(CNKI)、维普数据库、Pubmed、外文生物医学期刊文献数据(FMJS)中自然周期和促排卵周期联合IUI治疗不孕患者的随机对照试验(RCT)或临床对照试验。由2位评价员根据纳入与排除标准独立进行文献筛选、资料提取和质量评价后,采用Rev Man 5.0软件进行Meta分析。结果最终纳入9个研究,共8814个周期。Meta分析结果显示:对行IUI的不孕症患者,促排卵周期组与自然周期组相比,妊娠率[OR=1.47,95%CI(1.26,1.72),P0.00001]、流产率[OR=2.49,95%CI(1.49,4.16),P=0.0005]、多胎率[OR=6.94,95%CI(1.94,24.83),P=0.003]均大于自然周期组,且差异有统计学意义;OHSS发生率[OR=4.17,95%CI(0.74,23.49),P=0.11]和宫外孕发生率[OR=2.22,95%CI(0.92,5.37),P=0.08]无明显差异。结论对自然周期和促排卵周期联合IUI治疗不孕患者的有效性而言,促排卵周期组能更好的改善其妊娠率,但其流产率和多胎率的发生较高,因此促排卵方案用于IUI时,其疗效及安全性需要进行更多的临床研究。由于纳入文献存在质量和数量不足以及方法学差异,本研究结论仅作为临床分析的参考,尚需后效评价和不断更新。     

Caffeic acid phenethyl ester,a propolis polyphenolic,attenuates potentially cadmium-induced testicular dysfunction in mice

Abstract

Cadmium (Cd) as environmental pollutant can induce severe damage, particularly to the testis. This study investigated the effects of Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) on testicular dysfunction induced by Cd. Adult mice were intraperitoneally injected with cadmium chloride (CdCl₂) with different doses of CAPE pretreatment. After CdCl₂ injection, body/testis weight ratio decreased, Cd levels accumulated and zinc levels decreased in testis. Furthermore, Cd intoxication caused a significant increase of oxidative stress levels, antioxidant enzymes activities, and glutathione levels. Interestingly, significant improvements were observed after the administration of CAPE. Our results demonstrated the protective effect of CAPE, linking Cd testicular dysfunction to oxidative stress.

单侧液压脑损伤对大鼠双侧海马GFAP表达和CA1区突触传递的影响

目的研究单侧液压脑损伤(FPI)对大鼠双侧海马区胶质纤维酸性蛋白(GFAP)表达和CA1区突触传递的影响。方法建立大鼠单侧液压脑损伤模型,脑标本分为对照组(包括正常对照和假手术对照)、FPI损伤同侧组和FPI损伤对侧组。免疫组化法检测海马水平切片GFAP表达,对海马CA1区锥体神经元进行细胞内记录。结果FPI大鼠双侧海马齿状回门区和CA1区GFAP表达均比对照组明显增强。FPI损伤同侧组兴奋性输入-输出关系曲线的斜率比其他两组显著增大(P<0.05);FPI损伤同侧组和对侧组双脉冲易化(PPF)比值和抑制性突触后电位(IPSP)幅值均比对照组显著减小(P<0.05);FPI损伤同侧组和对侧组双脉冲抑制(PPD)比值均比对照组显著增大(P<0.05)。结论大鼠单侧液压脑损伤对双侧海马均可产生影响,导致双侧海马CA1区兴奋性突触传递增强,抑制性突触传递减弱。     

提倡垂体腺瘤的个体化及综合性治疗

垂体腺瘤的外科治疗已有一个世纪的历史,早期由于诊断技术落后,患者常常因肿瘤过大导致视力严重障碍或颅内压增高危及生命才来就诊,治疗以挽救生命及视力为主要目的。随着CT、MR I的普及应用,垂体腺瘤患者就诊时多以内分泌功能障碍为主要表现,部分伴有视力、视野障碍,因此,手术
