Fate determination of neural stem cells (NSCs) is crucial for cortex development and is closely linked to neurodevelopmental disorders when gene expression networks are disrupted. The transcriptional corepressor chromodomain Y-like (CDYL) is widely expressed across diverse cell populations within the human embryonic cortex. However, its precise role in cortical development remains unclear.

Methods: QRT-PCR was adopted to detect HOTTIP expression level in testicular tissues from hypospermatogenesis (Hypo) patients or controls. The proliferation levels of NT2 and 293T were measured via CCK-8 and EdU detection.
Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of Jujing No.2 Decoction on male infertility induced by varicocele.
Methods: We equally randomized 70 male patients with varicocele-induced infertility into a treatment group and a control group, the former treated with modified Jujing No.
Objective: To observe the changes of serum free testosterone (FT) and testosterone secreting index (TSI) in ED patients, and to assess the contribution of these two indexes to the diagnosis of ED caused by endocrine factors.
Methods: We studied 120 ED patients and 30 healthy men undergoing pre-marital medical check-up in Jiangsu Province Hospital of TCM by analyzing the scores on erectile function and desire domain in IIEF, testing the serum total testosterone, luteinizing hormone by chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (CLIA), measuring free testosterone by radioimmunoassay( RIA), and calculating TSI.
Results: Of the 120 ED patients, 5% and 1538% were below the reference norm of TT and FT values respectively.
