Studies have explored the assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes of Y-chromosome azoospermia factor c (AZFc) microdeletions, but the effect of sperm source on intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) remains unknown. To determine the ART results of ICSI using testicular sperm and ejaculated sperm from males with AZFc microdeletions, we searched Embase, Web of Science, and PubMed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis. The first meta-analysis results for 106 cycles in five studies showed no significant differences in the live birth rate between the testicular sperm group and the ejaculated sperm group (risk ratio: 0.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the use of high-frequency ultrasound for diagnosing and treating epididymal stasis after vasectomy, involving 23 cases categorized by severity.
- Ultrasound findings showed various levels of epididymal thickening, with 18 cases improving after conservative treatment, while a few severe cases required additional procedures.
- The research concluded that high-frequency ultrasound is crucial for the diagnosis and management of epididymal stasis related to vasectomy, highlighting specific sonographic features.
Objective: To investigate the reconstructive operative procedures of funnel chest with "sternum-costicartilage" flap carried by the abdominal rectus pedicle.
Methods: (1) In accordance with the lesioned area of funnel-like depressed deformity of anterior thoracic wall, a perpendicular median incision was designed and made; (2) The "sternum-costicartilage" flap carrying the abdominal rectus pedicle was used and reversed and transplanted to reconstruct severe funnel chest deformity.
Results: The procedure was used in 7 cases from 1999 to 2005.
