Aim： To access beta-endorphin levels in serum as well as seminal plasma in different infertile male groups. Methods： Beta-endorphin was estimated in the serum and seminal plasma by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） method in 80 infertile men equally divided into four groups： non-obstructive azoospermia （NOA）, obstructive azoospermia （OA）, congenital bilateral absent vas deferens （CBVAD） and asthenozoospermia. The results were compared to those of 20 normozoospermic proven fertile men. Results： There was a decrease in the mean levels of betaendorphin in the seminal plasma of all successive infertile groups （mean ± SD： NOA 51.30 ± 27.37, OA 51.88 ± 9.47, CBAVD 20.36 ± 13.39, asthenozoospermia 49.26 ± 12.49 pg/mL, respectively） compared to the normozoospermic fertile control （87.23 ± 29.55 pg/mL）. This relation was not present in mean serum level of beta-endorphin between four infertile groups （51.09 ± 14.71, 49.76 ± 12.4, 33.96 ± 7.2, 69.1 ± 16.57 pg/mL, respectively） and the fertile control group （49.26 ± 31.32 pg/mL）. The CBVAD group showed the lowest seminal plasma mean level of beta-endorphin. Testicular contribution of seminal beta-endorphin was estimated to be approximately 40%. Seminal beta-endorphin showed significant correlation with the sperm concentration （r = 0.699, P = 0.0188） and nonsignificant correlation with its serum level （r = 0.375, P = 0.185） or with the sperm motility percentage （r = 0.470, P = 0.899）. Conclusion： The estimation of beta-endorphin alone is not conclusive to evaluate male reproduction as there are many other opiates acting at the hypothalamic pituitary gonadal axis.

Background and Objective: The liver is responsible for metabolism and detoxification of the most of components that enter the body. Once the liver became injured, its efficient treatment with famous chemical drugs was limited. Therefore, interest concerned the use of alternative medicines for the treatment of hepatic disease has been arisen. The present study was aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of the two types of stem cells against chromosomal aberrations in bone marrow (BM) cells of rats treated with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). Design and Method: BM-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were isolated and propagated in culture for 2 weeks and were characterized morphologically. Human umbilical cord blood (UCB) cells were obtained after full-term caesarean delivery from healthy donors. Low-density mononuclear cells were separated over Ficoll-Paque, and CD34+ hematopoietic cells were isolated using a magnetic cell sorter. Rats were divided into 4 groups: control, CCl4, CCl4 plus MSC, and CCl4 plus CD34+. Liver tissue was examined histopathologically for all groups. Results: The results of the present study indicated a significant increase (p < 0.05) in the number of metaphases with different types of chromosomal aberrations in CCl4 group. Treatment of the animals with BM-MSCs and UCB-CD34+ cells improved both genotoxicity and histopathological changes induced by CCl4.
