Abstract. Rosyada ZNA, Yoelinda VT, Kaiin EM, Gunawan M, Ulum MF, Tumbelaka LITA, Solihin DD, Agil A, Purwantara B. 2023. Sperm osteopontin mRNA expression levels and its correlation on semen quality fertility in Madura bulls. Biodiversitas 24: 563-570. Osteopontin (OPN) gene transcripts influence spermatogenesis germ cell development. Therefore, transcriptome analysis is needed to identify the...

BACKGROUND There is some controversy about the extent of changes in different sperm cell features in stored boar semen, especially regarding the potential role of the DNA fragmentation assay for assessment of sperm fertilizing ability. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of time of storage and the dynamic changes in sperm cell characteristics in normospermic boar semen stored in long...

The aim of this report has been evaluating protamine content and DNA integrity of two patients with globozoospermia undergoing Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). Semen analysis was carried out according to WHO criteria. Protamine deficiency and DNA fragmentation was assessed using Chromomycin A3 and sperm chromatin dispersion assay respectively. ICSI and chemical activation were carried ...

OBJECTIVE This retrospective, single-center study was designed to distinguish severe diabetic foot infection (DFI) from moderate DFI based on the presence or absence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The database of a single academic foot and ankle program was reviewed and 119 patients were identified. Severe DFI was defined as local infection asso...

The integrity of sperm deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) is one of the determinants that ensure normal fertilization, implantation, pregnancy, and the generation of a healthy progeny. Assessment of sperm DNA fragmentation has gained importance as a tool to provide significant information regarding sperm quality, and it can independently predict sperm fertilizing potential. The sperm chromatin disp...
