Summary: The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic value of testicular tissue touch print smear (TPS), histopathology, and in vitro fertility (IVF) lab findings in azoospermic patients. TPS showed high positive predictive value and negative predictive value for predicting sperm presence or absence compared to IVF lab results. TPS also had a high correlation with results of histological diagnoses performed by needle biopsy in detecting sperm presence.

Summary: Maca has the potential to improve fertility and sexual function. It can alleviate the vacuolation of spermatogenic tubules and testicular lesions, promote the recovery of spermatogenic epithelium, inhibit the proliferation of stromal cells, increase the serum testosterone content, and improve the number and quality of sperm. Preliminary screening showed no significant difference in efficacy between maca polysaccharide fraction and maca extract.

Summary: This study showed that food-derived peptides with high arginine content, such as Oyster peptides and Perilla purple peptides, could promote spermatogenesis recovery in busulfan-treated mice. These peptides were found to increase sperm concentration and motility, potentially by promoting spermatogonia proliferation to improve blood-testis barrier recovery. They may have applications as medication or therapeutic components to enhance fertility in oligoasthenospermia patients.

Summary: The study suggests that an elderberry diet can significantly improve sperm parameters and the number of testicular cells in scrotal hyperthermia-induced mice. It also increases serum testosterone levels and decreases the expression of TNF-α and caspase-3.

Summary: This study suggests that hormonal therapy with recombinant gonadotropins could be considered as an alternative treatment option for infertile men with NOA, potentially replacing the need for sperm donation. However, further large-scale studies are required to validate the effectiveness of hormone stimulation therapy in routine clinical practice.

Summary: This study demonstrates the importance of methionine and choline in diet and emphasizes the crucial role of cooking conditions, which are dietary factors that influence the quality of sperm production. The results showed that a methionine-choline deficient diet induced testicular degradation and damage to spermatocytes, while baking the diet further aggravated testicular injury and significantly reduced sperm density, motility, and normal sperm morphology. These effects were not related to the blood-testis barrier or Leydig cell dysfunction, but were associated with spermatocyte loss and apoptosis mediated by endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Summary: Obesity is a global threat for male infertility, and currently there are no available drugs for its treatment. However, this study found that icariin (ICA) can protect against spermatogenesis dysfunction in obese mice. The treatment with ICA reduced body weight and improved sperm count and the number of spermatogenic cells. It also improved testicular histopathological changes and inhibited testicular apoptosis.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of preoperative templating of total hip arthroplasty (THA) using mediCAD (R) software and identify factors that influence accuracy. The results showed that mediCAD (R) templating had acceptable accuracy in predicting the sizes of femoral and acetabular components in THA patients. The use of digital software like mediCAD (R) is favored for its short learning curve, user-friendly features, and low-cost maintenance, leading to improved patient care and THA efficacy.

Summary: This article introduces the relative concepts gradeP(C)(M, N) and gradeIC (M, N) under the commutative Noetherian ring R and the module C, and mentions some results about these concepts and grade(M, N). For finitely generated modules M and N, we prove that gradeP(C)(M, N) = grade(M, N) (gradeI(C) (M, N) = grade(M, N)) under certain special conditions. In addition, the notions of C-perfect and G(C)-perfect R-modules are introduced as the relative setting of the notions of perfect and G-perfect R-modules with respect to C, and it is proven that several results for these new concepts are similar to the classical results. Finally, some results about the relative grade of tensor and Hom functors with respect to C are provided.

Summary: This study investigates the ground surface displacement in the Kashan plain region and its impact on the Qom-Kashan railway in Iran. The study reveals that the Kashan plain is experiencing significant subsidence, with vertical velocities reaching up to -23 mm/year in some locations. The railway is found to be affected by subsidence in more than 60% of its length, and a one-kilometer region is classified as a risk zone. Uncontrolled groundwater extraction in agricultural areas is identified as the main contributing factor to the subsidence.
