چکیده

In azoospermic infertile men with varicocele, testicular biopsy revealed histopathologic patterns that varied from disorganized spermatogenesis with low or moderate sperm scores to early (primary spermatocytes stage) or late (spermatid stage) arrested spermatogenesis or germ cell aplasia and Sertoli cells only. Diagnostic testicular biopsy can be helpful for accurate management of azoospermic infertile men with varicoceles before surgical repair.

Comparison of Protamine 1 to Protamine 2 mRNA Ratio and YBX2 gene mRNA Content in Testicular Tissue of Fertile and Azoospermic Men

Background Although aberrant protamine (PRM) ratios have been observed in infertile men, the mechanisms that implicit the uncoupling of PRM1 and PRM2 expression remain unclear. To uncover these mechanisms, in this observational study we have compared the PRM1/PRM2 mRNA ratio and mRNA contents of two regulatory factors of these genes. MaterialsAndMethods In this experimental study, sampling was ...

P-3: Complete Reproductive Hormonal Study in Nonobstructive Azoospermic (NOA) Patients for Determining Reliable Markers of The Presence of Spermatozoa in Their Biopsies

Background: Various hormone tests of the presence of spermatozoa on testicular sperm extraction (TESE) in azoospermic men have been investigated. Because of its clinical importance, we conducted this study to evaluate complete reproductive serum hormone levels in nonobstructive azoospermic (NOA) patients for determining markers which can predict the spermatogenesis. Materials and Methods: Seven...
