Sperm content of TXNDC8 reflects sperm chromatin structure, pregnancy establishment, and incidence of multiple births after ART.
Abstract
Male germline-specific thioredoxin domain containing 8 (TXNDC8; alias SPTRX3) accumulates indefective human spermatozoa. We assessed the efficiency of two-step semen purification inremoving spermatozoa carrying TXNDC8, and examined the relationship of TXNDC8 with theoutcomes of assisted reproductive therapy (ART), conventional semen parameters, and sperm DNA integrity in sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA). Semen samples (n = 255) from 91 ART couples were screened in two independent trials, both including a two-step, gradient-and-swim-up separation procedure yielding A-samples (raw semen), B-samples (g...

Role of isoprostanes in human male infertility.
This article discusses the role of isoprostanes as relevant factors both to sperm FA composition and sperm membrane integrity. Additionally, isoprostane's influence on sperm quality is reviewed. With reference to male reproductive dysfunction, increasing evidence indicates isoprostanes, detectable in biological fluids or sperm membrane, as the specific index of 1) exposure to chemical etiological agents, 2) oxidative damage, 3) reduced antioxidant response, and 4) sperm immaturity.

Effects of testicular sperm aspiration upon first cycle ICSI-ET for type 2 diabetic male patients.
Abstract
Male diabetes mellitus (DM) can affect erectile function and sperm quality. In severe cases, DM can lead to retrograde or no ejaculation, so testicular sperm aspiration (TESA) is combined with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) to treat subfertility and infertility for DM couples. However, the effect of TESA upon ICSI (TESA-ICSI) for DM patients remains unclear. This research investigated the effect of TESA-ICSI on first cycle ICSI-embryo transfer (ICSI-ET) for type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) patients and the potential mechanisms. The subjects consisted of 1219 male patients with azoospermia or ...

Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 plays a role in ovarian dysfunction related to high-fat diet-induced obesity.
Abstract
Obesity, known to cause a systemic elevation in monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), adversely affects normal ovarian function. The aim of this study was to determine whether MCP-1 plays a role in ovarian dysfunction that is related to obesity induced by high-fat (HF) diet intake. Wild type (WT) C57BL/6J mice were fed either normal chow (NC) (Group 1, control group) or HF diet (Group 2). To assess whether MCP-1 is involved in HF-diet-induced ovarian dysfunction, MCP-1 knock-out mice were fed HF diet (Group 3). Body weight, body fat composition, number of oocytes collected following ovarian superovulati...

Abstract
The placenta works as a selective barrier, protecting the fetus from potential infections that may affect the maternal organism during pregnancy. In this review, we will discuss several challenging infections that are common within Latin American countries and that may affect the maternal-fetal interface and pose risks to fetal development. Specifically, we will focus on emerging infectious diseases including the arboviruses, malaria, leishmaniasis, and the bacterial foodborne disease caused by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli. We will also highlight some topics of interest currently being stu...

Comparison between embryos transferred with self-spent and fresh medium on reproductive outcomes: a prospective randomized trial.
Abstract
As the final and critical step in in vitro fertilization (IVF), embryo transfer has always received much attention and deserves continuous optimization. In the present study, to explore the role of autocrine factors in embryo self-spent culture media, we prospectively compared embryo transfer with self-spent culture medium and fresh medium on clinical pregnancy outcomes. A total of 318 fresh IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles were randomly allocated into two subgroups based on their transfer media (using a self-spent culture medium or new pre-equilibrated culture media), and the clinical o...

Abstract
Bacterial contamination in swine semen affects the quality and longevity of sperm and consequently fertility is reduced. Antibiotics have been used to prevent bacterial growth, but the frequency of bacterial resistance to various antibiotics are increasing. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) of 10-20 nm in size have shown a biocide effect in bacteria and fungi microorganisms without toxicity to certain mammalian cells. The goal of this study was to analyze both, antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and toxicity in swine sperms after 10-20 nm AgNPs treatment. S. ...

Co-expressed functional module-related genes in ovarian cancer stem cells represent novel prognostic biomarkers in ovarian cancer.
Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancies. Cancer stem cells (CSC) seem to play a crucial role in tumor metastasis, recurrence, and chemoresistance. Therefore, CSCs offer significant potential for developing therapeutic targets and to understand tumor recurrence and chemoresistance mechanisms. In the present study, our aim was the identification of the gene group in ovarian CSCs (O-CSCs) and the potential of the resultant gene group in ovarian cancer prognosis. Two different microarray data sets were analyzed by comparing gene expression levels between O-CSCs and cancer sa...

Effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) on embryos inseminated with oxidative stress-induced DNA damage sperm.
Abstract
Cryopreservation can induce damage in human spermatozoa through reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. To reduce the potential risk of oxidative stress-induced sperm DNA damage, addition of different epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) concentrations were performed to determine the optimum concentration which was beneficial for IVF outcome for both fresh and frozen-thawed sperm. Next, the mouse sperm model exhibiting oxidative stress-induced DNA damage by exogenously treating with H2O2 but overcoming the low fertilization rate of frozen-thawed sperm was used to investigate the effect of EGCG on the embry...

Optimizing the protocol for vitrification of individual spermatozoa by adjusting equilibration time.
Abstract
Efficient cryopreservation of small numbers of human spermatozoa is essential in cases of severe male infertility, especially those requiring surgical sperm retrieval. Although vitrifying individual spermatozoa on sperm vitrification devices (SpermVD®) provided optimal cell retrieval upon warming, motility rates tended to be lower than with bulk-freezing. Post-warming motility is directly affected by cryoprotectant exposure; however, optimal cryoprotectant equilibration time is unknown. We evaluated several timeframes exposing individual spermatozoa to cryoprotectant before freezing and different cryo...
