主 题:Sino implant Testosterone undecanoate Male contraception
摘 要:The purpose of this study was to use a kind of safe,long acting and reversible hormonal regimen for male contraception .The studied regimen was a subdermal insertion of a two rod implant (Sino implant, each rod containing 75 mg levenorgestrel LNG) in each subject s forearm, followed 3 weeks after by monthly injection of TU (Testosterone Undecanoate 250 mg) for 3 months. Eighteen weeks after implantation, the Sino implant was removed. There were altogether 16 male volunteers recruited in the entire research program. Among them 6 cases reached azoospermia; one case reached oligozoospermia (sperm density 3 million/ml); 5 cases sperm density declined greatly, the lowest to be 5.7±1.3 million/ml; the other four cases sperm density also declined, but remained within normal range (above 20 million/ml), the lowest to be 24.5±9.0 million/ml. The duration to reach azoospermia was 16.7±0.5 weeks. The duration to resume to normal range of sperm density was 8.2±2.5 weeks in the subjects with azoospermia and oligozoospermia. In the first two weeks after insertion the LNG release of Sino implant s mean serum LNG level was about 0.38 ng/ml, in the rest of the time the LNG levels in blood was rather constant about 0.24 ng/ml. Routine analyses of blood and urine, liver and kidney functions, and blood chemistry including those parameters (TG,TC,HDL C,LDL C) of lipid metabolism didn t change much throughout the research. All the subjects libido and sex function were well kept. Clinical observation didn t show any other adverse effects during the research.
