AI Article Synopsis
- * A series of tests showed that RBEM does not cause genotoxicity (DNA damage) in various cell types.
- * However, RBEM demonstrated toxicity effects on fertility and early embryonic development in female rats when administered at certain doses.
Article Abstract
Continuous dopaminergic stimulation (CDS) has become an important strategy for the development of drugs to treat Parkinson's disease (PD). Rotigotine behenate extended-release microspheres (RBEM) for injection represent a new treatment regime for CDS and are undergoing clinical trials. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of RBEM on genotoxicity, fertility and early embryonic development. We used the Ames test, Chinese hamster lung (CHL) cell chromosome aberration test and the mouse bone marrow micronucleus test, to evaluate the genotoxicity of RBEM. These tests were all negative, thus indicating that RBEM did not induce genotoxicity. In reproduction toxicity testing in male rats on obvious findings following intramuscular administration (i.m.) of RBEM at up to 540 mg/kg (P > 0.5), when female rats were administered with RBEM in the dose range of 60 to 540 mg/kg given (i.m.), there were clear effects on fertility and early embryonic development. These results indicated that RBEM could induce toxicity in female rats and exert effect on fertility and early embryonic development stage.

Novel insights into human CRISP2: localization in reproductive tissues and sperm, and molecular characterization.

CRISP2 is enriched in the male reproductive system of mammals and plays roles in spermatogenesis, sperm motility, and fertilization. Although extensively investigated in rodents and boars, human CRISP2 (hCRISP2) remains poorly studied, particularly concerning its localization in testicular and epididymal tissues and its molecular features. In this study, we used immunofluorescence to determine the localization of hCRISP2 in testis, epididymis, and ejaculated sperm.

TCP transcription factors have long been known to play a crucial role in leaf development, but their significance in reproduction has recently been revealed. TCP5 is a member of class II of the TCP family, which predominantly regulates cell differentiation. This study used overexpression and SRDX fusion to evaluate the role of TCP5 in anther development.

In the early postpartum period, dairy cows undergo significant adaptations in Ca and lipid metabolism, immune function, and inflammatory processes. Concurrent exposure to endotoxins from the uterus, gastrointestinal tract, or mammary gland increases the risk of disease and reproductive problems. Metabolic and inflammatory imbalances during this phase can have both immediate and long-term effects on reproductive health.

Uterine rupture constitutes a critical obstetric emergency that presents substantial risks to both the maternal and fetal populations. This investigation evaluated the surgical interventions available for uterine rupture, emphasizing laparoscopic repair subsequent to uterine rupture. Laparoscopic repair serves as a fertility-sustaining alternative to conventional laparotomy, demonstrating comparable operative durations of 80 min (interquartile range [IQR] 60-114) for laparoscopic procedures versus 78 min (IQR 58-114) for laparotomy interventions.

Objectives: Turner syndrome (TS) is associated with ovarian dysgenesis leading to infertility in most of the cases. There are some options for fertility preservation (FP) in patients with sufficient follicle numbers. The most recently studied are oocyte and ovarian tissue preservation.
