The relationship between genetic alterations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and progressive motility (PR) and rapid progressive motility (grade A) of ejaculated human spermatozoa remains unclear. In this study, we explored the association between human mtDNA genotype and sperm PR and grade A by analyzing mtDNA copy number, loci, haplogroup, rearrangement, deletions, and duplications and sperm motility parameters. Human sperm mtDNA copy number, loci and haplogroups were not associated with human sperm motility PR or A grade.

Purpose: Pregnancy outcomes (overall patency rate, overall pregnancy rate, natural pregnancy rate, and the ratio of patients with pregnancy by assisted reproductive technology) after microsurgical vasoepididymostomy (MVE) in patients with epididymal obstructive azoospermia (EOA) were assessed through meta-analysis.

Method: We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library databases up to 28 September 2022 for published literature related to retrospective or prospective clinical studies of obstructive azoospermia after apparent microsurgical vasoepididymostomy. Our search terms included obstructive azoospermia, epididymis obstruction, epididymal obstruction and vasoepididymostomy, and epididymovasostomy.

Background: Yolk sac tumor is the most common malignant nonseminomatous germ-cell tumor in children characterized by elevated level of -fetoprotein (AFP), accounting for 70%-80% of all cases. However, giant yolk sac tumors that involve the entire testicle may be misdiagnosed by color Doppler ultrasonography as orchitis. Therefore, we described a case of a 2-year-old pediatric patient with a giant testicular yolk sac tumor that was misdiagnosed by ultrasonography as orchitis, in order to evaluate the role of measuring AFP levels in the initial diagnosis to aid in the accuracy of the definitive diagnosis of testicular yolk sac tumor.

The incidence and mortality of primary liver cancer are very high and resection of tumor is the most crucial treatment for it. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of combined use of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and laryngeal mask airway (LMA) during implementing Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs for patients with primary liver cancer. This was a prospective, evaluator-blinded, randomized, controlled parallel-arm trial.

Background: Osteosarcoma is one of the most common primary bone cancers with predominant occurrence in children and adolescents. This study aimed to determine the effects of sevoflurane treatment on the osteosarcoma progression and to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Materials And Methods: The mRNA and protein expression levels were determined by qPCR and Western blot, respectively.

A number of animal models have been developed to examine the pathophysiological consequences of surgical procedures, but anesthetic methods, monitoring, and management measures in these models are very different from those used in humans. This study was designed to create a rat model of abdominal surgery using anesthetic methods and perioperative treatment similar to those used in the clinic and to investigate the effects of different injury severities and depths of anesthesia and analgesia on surgical stress and postoperative recovery. Abdominal skin/muscle incision was compared with exploratory laparotomy in rats under propofol intravenous anesthesia, accompanied by perioperative measures such as oxygen inhalation, fluid infusion, warmth, blood gas analysis, and infection prevention.

The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process has increasingly been examined due to its role in the progression of human tumors. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most common urological tumors that results in patient mortality. Previous studies have demonstrated that the EMT process is closely associated with the metastasis of RCC; however, the underlying molecular mechanism has not been determined yet.

We aim to investigate the correlations between hemodynamic parameters, penile rigidity grading, and the therapeutic effects of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors using color Doppler flow imaging after intracavernosal injection in patients with erectile dysfunction. This study involved 164 patients. After intracavernosal injection with a mixture of papaverine (60 mg), prostaglandin E 1 (10 mg), and lidocaine (2%, 0.

MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) is dysregulated in human cancers. In this study, we reported that miR-155 was over-expressed in bladder cancer tissues. We found that miR-155 promoted cell proliferation in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo.

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent adult stem cells that have the capability of homing to cancer cells. Thus, MSCs play an important role in the development, metastasis, and drug resistance of cancers. The mechanisms underlying the homing of MSCs in kidney cancer are still poorly understood.
