To conduct a systematic examination and meta-analysis of the most reliable data from experimental studies evaluating the efficacy of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on low ovarian reserve. A comprehensive search was performed utilizing pertinent search terms across electronic databases, including PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar. We included studies that assigned infertile women with low ovarian reserve in experimental studies. Ovarian reserve parameters were measured before and after PRP injection into ovaries. The data of each study was retrieved and subsequently compiled. Of 301 articles collected and reviewed, six studies were finally included in the meta-analysis. Following PRP injection, infertile women showed a non-significant increase in anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) level (MD=0.10; 95% CI -0.04, 0.23), a significant increase in antral follicular count (AFC) (MD=1.88; 95% CI 0.47, 3.29), and a non-significant reduction in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level (MD=-0.22; 95% CI -8.32, 7.87). Autologous PRP may increase AFC, but not AMH. Although it is found beneficial in enhancing ovarian reserve (AFC), further research with strong evidence is still required.
对评估自体富血小板血浆(PRP)对卵巢储备功能低下疗效的实验研究中最可靠的数据进行系统检查和荟萃分析。 我们利用相关检索词在PubMed、Cochrane和谷歌学术等电子数据库中进行了全面检索。我们纳入了将卵巢储备功能低下的不孕妇女分配到实验研究中的研究。在向卵巢注射 PRP 之前和之后测量了卵巢储备参数。我们检索了每项研究的数据,随后进行了汇编。 在收集和审查的 301 篇文章中,最终有 6 项研究被纳入荟萃分析。注射 PRP 后,不孕妇女的抗苗勒氏管激素(AMH)水平出现了非显著性升高(MD=0.10;95% CI -0.04,0.23),前卵泡计数(AFC)显著升高(MD=1.88;95% CI 0.47,3.29),而促卵泡激素(FSH)水平则出现了非显著性降低(MD=-0.22;95% CI -8.32,7.87)。 自体 PRP 可增加 AFC,但不会增加 AMH。虽然自体血浆蛋白对提高卵巢储备功能(AFC)有益,但仍需要进一步的研究和有力的证据。

This current review highlights adiponectin engagement with AdipoRl and AdipoR2 which subsequently triggers pathways such as AMPK, PPARα, and MAPK, thereby modulating testicular steroidogenesis. Adiponectin's actions on Leydig and adrenal cells inhibit androgen secretion by suppressing the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR). Given that StAR facilitates cholesterol to testosterone conversion, AMPK inhibits this process by modulating cholesterol transport and suppressing StAR expression through multiple avenues. Furthermore, adiponectin-induced PPARα activation impedes mitochondrial cholesterol influx, further modulating androgen biosynthesis. The suppressive influence of PPARα on steroidogenic genes, notably StAR, is evident. Collectively, adiponectin signalling predominantly attenuates androgen production, ensuring metabolic and reproductive equilibrium. Imbalances, as seen in conditions like hypogonadism and obesity-related infertility, highlight their crucial roles and potential clinical interventions for reproductive disorders.

To investigate the effect of Moringa oleifera leaf extract on semen quality parameters in Teressa goat buck. A total of 25 semen samples from six bucks were selected for the study. Spermatozoa of 150× 106 were incubated in 0, 300, 500 and 700 μg of leaf extract as group I, II, III and IV, respectively. Liquid stored semen samples were analysed for motility, viability, total sperm abnormalities, plasma membrane, acrosomal and nuclear integrities, seminal plasma intracellular enzymes [aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)] and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and spermatozoa malondialdehyde (MDA) and cholesterol efflux in comparison with the control group (group I) for up to 72 h. Moringa oleifera leaf extract (500 μg/150× 106 spermatozoa)-treated semen had significantly higher motility, viability, plasma membrane, acrosomal and nuclear integrities, and TAC (P<0.05), and had significantly lower total sperm abnormalities, AST, ALT, LDH, MDA production and cholesterol efflux compared to those in other Moringa oleifera leaf extract treated (300 or 700 μg/150×106 spermatozoa) and control groups at different hours of liquid storage (P<0.05). Semen quality parameters and TAC showed an increasing trend and total sperm abnormalities, MDA production, leakage of intra-cellular enzymes and cholesterol efflux showed a decreasing trend from group I to group III and then an opposite trend from group II to group IV at different hours of liquid storage. Moringa oleifera leaf extract 500 μg/150×106 spermatozoa can be used for liquid semen preservation in Teressa goat at Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

To describe and determine the association between Covid-19 vaccination in pregnancy and placental pathology. Conducted in a tertiary hospital in Medan, Indonesia, from April 30th 2022 to June 30th 2022, this single-center cross-sectional study involved Covid-19 vaccinated and unvaccinated women with singleton full-term pregnancies delivering live fetuses via cesarean section. Maternal characteristics, placental pathologies, and the placental index were documented at enrollment. The association between Covid-19 vaccination status and placental pathology was assessed. The study enrolled 200 pregnant women, including 110 vaccinated women and 90 unvaccinated women. No significant differences were observed in birthweight (P=0.48), placental index (P=0.48), and placental pathology findings [intervillous bleeding (P=0.20), increased syncytial knots (P=0.83), chorangiosis (P=0.13), villous stromal edema (P=0.13), vascular dilation and congestion (P=0.13), and vascular wall thrombus (P=0.71)] between the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups. This study revealed no statistically significant association between Covid-19 vaccination and placental pathology. The findings support the safety of Covid-19 vaccination during pregnancy, in regards to changes of the placental pathology.

To determine the protective effect of co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) on testicular tissue and sperm parameters in male rats treated with Sunset Yellow FCF. Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 6 groups of the control, CoQ10 (10 mg/kg/day), low dose of Sunset Yellow (2.5 mg/kg), high dose of Sunset Yellow (70 mg/kg), low dose of Sunset Yellow (2.5 mg/kg) plus CoQ10, and high dose of Sunset Yellow (70 mg/kg) plus CoQ10. The drugs were administered via daily oral gavages for 6 weeks. At the end of the experiment, sperm analysis, stereological and histological assessments of the testis were carried out. The normal morphology (by 41.1%) and progressive spermatozoa (by 74.8%), testicle volume (by 33.4%), lumen volume (by 38.3%), interstitial tissue volume (by 44.7%), seminiferous tubule volume (by 40.7%), and number of spermatogonia (by 53.9%) and Leydig cells (by 70.7%) reduced in the rats that received high doses of Sunset Yellow in comparison to the control group. Nonetheless, all these alterations were recovered by CoQ10 treatment in the CoQ10 plus high dose of Sunset Yellow group. Furthermore, low doses of Sunset Yellow did not affect different parameters of the testis and sperm. CoQ10 could, to some extent, prevent structural changes of the testis induced by the high dose of Sunset Yellow.

To compare the effectiveness of inositol and metformin on the clinical characteristics, and endocrine and metabolic profiles of infertile polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) women from Vietnam. From June 2018 to August 2022, a randomized trial was undertaken at the Hue Center for Endocrinology and Reproduction on infertile women aged 18 to 40 years with polycystic ovarian syndrome. The clinical, endocrine, and metabolic features of these individuals were assessed before and after 3 months of treatment with 2 g of inositol or 1700 mg of metformin per day. Natural pregnancy rates, adverse effects, and tolerance of inositol were recorded. The study included 171 infertile PCOS women who were eligible to participate and took part in the baseline assessment, of whom 132 women participated in data analysis after 3 months. After metformin treatment, 42.1% of women with oligomenorrhea experienced regular menstruation. Metformin significantly lowered body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and testosterone levels, but had no effect on other clinical characteristics, endocrine profiles, or metabolic profiles. 29.2% Of women reported experiencing side effects. 21% Of them attained pregnancy, which resulted in 17.1% of live births. In the inositol group, the rate of regular cycle increased by 18.2% and the total testosterone concentration significantly decreased. In overweight/obese women with PCOS, inositol significantly decreased weight, BMI, waist and hip circumferences (P<0.05). 100% Of women tolerated inositol and continued treatment. 18.9% Of them became pregnant, leading to 17% of live births. Metformin and inositol can improve weight and waist circumference in overweight/obese infertile women with PCOS. Metformin is associated with a higher rate of regular menstruation, whereas inositol is associated with a lower rate of adverse effects. The spontaneous conception, clinical pregnancy, and live birth rates between two groups are comparable.

To compare embryonic development, ploidy status and clinical outcomes between fresh and frozen-thawed oocytes. This retrospective cohort study evaluated 83 fertilization cycles including both fresh and frozen oocytes from 79 patients at the HP Fertility Center of Hai Phong International Hospital of Obstetrics and Pediatrics in Vietnam. The patient underwent several ovarian stimulation cycles to accumulate a certain number of oocytes that would be vitrified. In the last oocyte retrieval, all patient's oocytes including both frozen and fresh would be fertilized. The outcomes included the rates of oocyte survival, cleavage embryo, blastocyst, ploidy status, pregnancy, biochemical pregnancy and clinical pregnancy. The oocyte survival rate after thawing was 96.5%. No statistically significant difference was found when comparing fresh and frozen oocytes regarding fertilization rate (78.1% vs. 75.5%, P=0.461), usable cleavage embryo rate (86.9% vs. 87.2%, P=0.916) but usable blastocyst rate was found higher statistically in the frozen oocyte group (44.4% vs. 54.0%, P=0.049). The percentages of euploid, aneuploid and mosaic embryos between the fresh group and the vitrified group had no significant differences (33.8% vs. 31.6%, P=0.682; 51.0% vs. 54.2%, P=0.569; 15.2% vs. 12.4%, P=0.787; respectively). The rates of pregnancy, biochemical pregnancy and clinical pregnancy had no statistical difference (68.8% vs. 64.8%, P=0.764; 12.5% vs. 3.6%, P=0.258; 37.5% vs. 46.4%, P=0.565). 17 Mature oocytes are the minimum to have at least one euploid embryo.

To assess the effect of cryopreservation on stemness and proliferation potential of sheep spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) in vitro. Sheep testicular cells were isolated and putative SSCs were enriched by the laminin-based differential plating method. Putative SSCs were co-cultured with the Sertoli cell feeder prepared by the Datura Stramonium Agglutinin (DSA-lectin)-based method. The cultured putative SSCs were cryopreserved in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium-10% fetal bovine serum mixture (DMEM-10% FBS) media containing 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) alone or 10% DMSO plus 200 mM trehalose. Cryopreserved putative SSCs were evaluated for their proliferation potential using in vitro culture and stemness by immunocytochemistry. Finally, the transfection ability of cryopreserved putative SSCs was analyzed. We isolated 91% viable testicular cells from sheep testes. The majority of the laminin enriched cells expressed the SSC related marker, ITGA6. Co-culture of sheep putative SSCs with Sertoli cell feeder resulted in the generation of stable colonies, and the expression of SSC marker was maintained after several passages. A significantly higher number of viable putative SSCs was recovered from SSCs cryopreserved in media containing 10% DMSO and 200 mM trehalose compared to 10% DMSO alone (P<0.01). Cryopreserved putative SSCs formed colonies and showed SSC marker expression similar to the non-cryopreserved putative SSCs. The appearance of green fluorescent colonies over the Sertoli cell feeder indicated that cryopreserved sheep SSCs were successfully transfected. Cryopreserved putative SSCs can retain their stemness, colony forming ability, and transfection efficiency in vitro. Our research may help in the effective preservation of germplasm and the generation of transgenic ovine species.

To measure seasonal effects on semen quality profiles, seminal biochemical and oxidative stress attributes in fresh and liquid stored semen in monsoon and dry seasons. A total of 10 Teressa bucks (3-4 years) were selected from breeding farm, ICAR-Central Island Agricultural Research Institute, Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. Semen samples (n=25 per season) were collected through artificial vagina method and preserved at refrigerated temperature (5°C) for 48 h using Tris citrate glucose based extender. We detected semen quality parameters [volume, mass activity, pH, sperm concentration, total motility, viability, total sperm abnormality, and plasma membrane, acrosomal and nuclear integrities], biochemical profiles [aspartate amino transferase (AST), alanine amino transferase (ALT) and total cholesterol], and oxidative stress markers [total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and malondialdehyde (MDA)] during monsoon and dry seasons. Semen quality parameters significantly differed between seasons (P<0.05) and among storage periods (P<0.05). Volume, pH, mass activity, motility, viability, acrosomal, plasma membrane and nuclear integrities, and TAC were significantly higher (P<0.05). Sperm concentration, sperm abnormalities, MDA, AST, ALT and total cholesterol were significantly lower in fresh semen of monsoon than dry season (P<0.05). Motility, viability, acrosomal, plasma membrane and nuclear integrities, and TAC were significantly decreased (P<0.05) while sperm abnormality, AST, ALT, total cholesterol and MDA were significantly increased as liquid semen storage period advanced (P<0.05). Monsoon season has higher beneficial effects on semen quality profiles and liquid stored semen remained usable for upto 48 h. Good quality ejaculates with higher TAC and lower MDA can be cryopreserved and will be used for artificial insemination.
