Nerve growth factor in human semen: Effect of nerve growth factor on the normozoospermic men during cryopreservation process
Objective(s):Althoughroutinely applied in assisted reproductive technology, human sperm cryopreservation is not a completely successful procedure. Adverse effects of cryopreservation on the fertilization capacity, motility, morphology, and viability of spermatozoa have been proven; cryopreservation has also shown a role in sperm DNA fragmentation and infertility. The post-thaw survival of sperm...
متن کاملChemotactic response of nerve fiber elongation to nerve growth factor.
These studies seek to determine whether the locomotory behavior of the extending tip of growing nerve fibers exhibits chemotaxis to nerve growth factor (NGF). Sensory neurons from dissociated dorsal root gangha of chick embryos were cultured within semisolid agar matrices containing concentration gradients of NGF which diffused from an adjacent source. A preferential orientation of approximatel...
متن کاملSpontaneous Recovery of Cavernous Nerve Crush Injury
PURPOSE To investigate pathophysiological consequences and spontaneous recovery after cavernous nerve crush injury (CNCI) in a rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty 4-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following groups: sham-operated group (n=10) and bilateral CNCI groups (n=10) for two different durations (12 and 24 weeks). At both time points, CN electrical stimulatio...
متن کاملCase Report: Median Nerve Cavernous Hemangioma
Hemangiomas of the median nerve are extremely rare; only 12 cases have been reported in the literature. We discuss a patient who presented with paresthesia and pain along the distribution of the left median nerve secondary to a cavernoma of the proximal part of the nerve as suspected on MRI scan. Total removal of the mass was achieved with immediate relief of the symptoms and no neurologic defi...
متن کاملImproving Voice Outcomes After Injury to the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve
Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the voice outcomes before and after the administration of voice therapy in patients who suffered an injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve after undergoing thyroidectomy. Methods: The sample consisted of 26 patients (2 males and 24 females) aged between 18 and 80 years (m=55±12) who experienced injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve fol...
