Sperm DNA fragmentation(SDF)has been linked with male infertility,and previous studies suggest that SDF can have negative influence on pregnancy outcomes with assisted *** performed a retrospective review of consecutive couples with a high SDF level that had intracytoplasmic sperm injection(ICSI)using testicular sperm(T-ICSI).We compared the T-ICSI outcomes to that of two control groups:87 couples with failed first ICSI cycle and who had a second ICSI cycle using ejaculated sperm(Ej-ICSI),and 48 consecutive couples with high sperm chromatin structure assay(SCSA)-defined SDF(>15%)that underwent an ICSI cycle using ejaculated sperm after one or more failed ICSI cycles(Ej-ICSI-high SDF).The mean number of oocytes that were retrieved and the total number of embryos were not different among the three *** mean number of transferred embryos in the T-ICSI group was higher than the Ej-ICSI group but not significantly different than the Ej-ICSI-high SDF group(1.4,1.2,and 1.3,respectively,P0.05).No significant difference was found in live birth rate when comparing T-ICSI to Ej-ICSI and Ej-ICSI-high SDF *** results suggest that pregnancy outcomes and live birth rates with T-ICSI are not significantly superior to Ej-ICSI in patients with an elevated SCSA-defined sperm DNA fragmentation and prior ICSI failure(s).

Rutile(TiO_2) particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composites were prepared by friction stir processing. The microstructure was studied using conventional and advanced characterization techniques. TiO_2 particles were found to be dispersed uniformly in the composite. Clusters of TiO_2 particles were observed at a higher particle content of 18 vol%. The interface between the TiO_2 particle and the aluminum matrix was characterized by the absence of pores and reactive ***-grain boundaries, ultra-fine grains and dislocation density were observed in the composites. TiO_2 particles improved the mechanical properties of the composites. However, a drop in tensile strength was observed at a higher particle content due to cluster formation. All the prepared composites exhibited ductile mode of fracture.

Metabolic enzymes in seasonally acclimatized and cold acclimated rufous-collared sparrow inhabiting a Chilean Mediterranean environment

Current Zoology 2014年第3期60卷 338-350页

Due to the higher energy requirements of birds during winter, it is predicted that the activities of metabolic enzymes （e.g., citrate synthase, CS and cytochrome C oxidase, COX） should increase in tandem with increases in rates of energy expendi ture （e.g., basal metabolic rate, BMR）. However, there is mixed support for the hypothesis of enzymatic acclimatization. Fur thermore, there is little information about the effect of ambient temperature on energetics and tissue enzyme activity levels in passerines inhabiting seasonal Mediterranean environments. In this study we evaluated the interplay between BMR and enzyme activities of freshly caught individuals of the passerine Zonotrichia capensis in winter and summer in a Mediterranean environment from central Chile, and also in warm （30℃） and cold （15℃） labacclimated birds. The results revealed a lack of seasonal variation in BMR, thermal conductance and in the activity of CS and COX. However, we found higher BMR and lower thermal conductance in coldacclimated than in warmacclimated birds. Also, total CS activity was higher in the flight muscles of coldacclimated than in warmacclimated birds. We found also a significant correlation between BMR and total CS activity in pectoral muscle. Although some authors have suggested that BMR mainly depends on the metabolic intensity and mass of internal organs, our results revealed that skeletal muscles such as the flight muscles may also affect BMR. Finally, differences in the accli mation and acclimatization responses in Rufouscollared sparrows suggest that largescale oscillations in the physical environment might maintain the capacity for flexibility in thermogenic traits through generations .

Refining the American Urological Association and American Society for Radiation Oncology guideline for adjuvant radiotherapy after radical prostatectomy using the pathologic Gleason score

引用

Asian Journal of Andrology 2017年第1期19卷 20-25页

作者： Wan Song Young Suk Kwon Seong Soo Jeon isaac Yi Kim Section of Urologic Oncology Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey Rutgers The State University of New Jersey New Brunswick NJ 08903 USA Department of Urology Samsung Medical Center Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine Seoul South Korea.

Recently, it has been suggested that the guideline for adjuvant radiotherapy （ART） following radical prostatectomy （RP） sponsored by the American Urological Association and American Society for Radiation Oncology （AUA/ASTRO） may result in a significant overtreatment. Thus, the objective of the present study was to refine the AUA/ASTRO guideline for ART in patients at risk for biochemical recurrence （BCR） after RP. To this end, we reviewed our prospectively maintained database and selected 193 patients who met the AUA/ASTRO ART criteria. With a median follow-up of 24.0 months, BCR rate was 17.6% （34/193）. When stratified by the Gleason score, BCR rate in men with Gleason score 6 was 6.8%. There was no significant association between BCR-free survival and surgical margin （P= 0.690） and pathologic stage （P= 0.353） in patients with the Gleason score 6. However, in patients with positive surgical margins （PSMs）/pathologic stage ≥T3, there was a significant difference in BCR-free survival according to Gleason score （≤7 vs8-10, P= 0.047）. Multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that pathologic stage ≥T3 （HR = 2.106; P = 0.018）, PSMs （HR = 2.411; P = 0.003）, and pathologic Gleason score 8-10 （HR = 4.715; P 〈 0.001） were independent predictors of BCR after RP. Therefore, in addition to pathologic stage 〉T3 and PSMs, Gleason score 8-10 predicts 8CR after RP. In patients with Gleason score 6, observation rather than ART may be more appropriate regardless of stage and surgical margin status.

Objective:To investigate the pro-inflammatory cytokines profiles in in Nigerian pregnant women infected with Plasmodium falciparum(***) ***:Peripheral, and placental blood samples were collected from 96 consenting volunteers comprising 76 *** infected pregnant women and 20 healthy uninfected pregnant women in ***,and subjected to ELISA for cytokines ***:Increased serum concentrations of interferon-gamma(IFN-γ) was observed in infected pregnant women than their uninfected counterparts[(31.2±20.9) pg/mL vs(1.8±0.9) pg/mL]and these differences were statistically significant(χ~2= 26.18,P0.05). The interleukin-6(IL-6) was significantly elevated in infected pregnant women(81.0±26.1 pg/mL) than in the uninfected pregnant women[(25.0±5.0) pg/mL](χ~2 = 29.58,P<0.05).In all, mean cytokines concentration of IL-6,IL-12 and IFN-γin the placental blood from infected pregnant women were(53.5±23.4) pg/mL,(8.7±6.9) pg/mL and(16.4±4.0) pg/mL,respectively. The multigravidae had a higher haemoglobin level of 10.2 g/dL and birth weight of 3 000 g than the primigrivadae with lower haemoglobin level of 7.5 g/dL and birth weight of 2 430 g. Conclusions:The elevated IFN-γamong the malarous pregnant women implicates it as the major cytokine mediator in the host responses to systematic *** malaria in our locality.
