Globozoospermia is a severe form of teratozoospermia with low incidence in infertile patients, considered as one of the important causes of male infertility. The objective was to investigate the chromatin/DNA integrity as well as apoptosis in ejaculated spermatozoa of cases with partial or total globozoospermia. Fifty-seven semen samples were divided into three groups of partial globozoospermia (n = 17), total globozoospermia (n = 10) and normozoospermia (control; n = 30). Sperm chromatin condensation, DNA ...

Previous studies have given conflicting results about the effect of generally infection and Chlamydia trachomatis on seminal ILs and semen parameters. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between semen quality and the level of seminal interleukins (ILs) in infertile couples with C. trachomatis. Blood, first void urine (FVU) and semen were obtained from 250 infertile men who had failed to conceive after 12 months of trying. Serological analysis for specific IgA, IgM and IgG antibodies ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a heterogeneous degenerative brain disorder with a rising prevalence worldwide. SHISA7 (CKAMP59) has emerged as one of the most intriguing new members of the SHISA family, in that, unlike other CKAMP counterparts, it exhibits a direct function in inhibitory synaptic GABAAR regulation. We used bioinformatics and experimental methods in this research to explore competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulation of BCAS4 and SHISA7 in tau pathogenesis and their capacity as peripheral ...

Based on wind speed, the operating regions of a wind turbine are divided into two parts: below‐rated wind speed (region II) and above‐rated wind speed (region III). This article presents a new control strategy for a variable speed wind turbine for the below‐rated wind speed category (region II). In this operating region, maximization of the conversion efficiency and capturing the maximum energy available in the wind are desirable. The controller is designed based on sliding mode control techniques ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a heterogeneous degenerative disorder of the brain that is on the rise worldwide. One of the critical processes that might be disturbed in AD is gene expression regulation. Tristetraprolin (TTP) and RC3H1 gene (ROQUIN) are two RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) that target AU-rich elements (AREs) and constitutive decay elements (CDEs), respectively. TTP and ROQUIN, members of the CCCH zinc-finger protein family, have been demonstrated to fine-tune numerous inflammatory factors. In ...

At below‐rated wind speeds, the main goal of a controller design is to maximize power coefficient and consequently captured power. Due to nonlinearities and uncertainties in wind turbine systems and rapid variations in the wind speed profiles, the need for more effective and robust controllers is inevitable. To optimize the captured power, the rotor angular speed must track the time variable reference value that requires fast reactions of the designed controller. In this article, an advanced controller ...

Varicocele occurs in approximately 15% to 20% of the general male population and it is the most common cause of poor semen production and decreased semen quality. It has been demonstrated that patients with varicocele have a significantly higher DNA fragmentation index (DFI) and spermatozoa with nuclear anomalies than healthy fertile men. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate sperm chromatin integrity in these patients. Sixty men referring to the andrology laboratory were categorised into ...

In this review, we have tried to summarize most available data dealing with the aquaporin (AQP) family of water channels in the CNS. Two aquaporins have been identified so far in the CNS, AQP1 and AQP4. AQP1 is restricted to the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricles, which raises a role for this aquaporin in cerebrospinal fluid formation. AQP4 is the predominant water channel in the brain and it is more widely distributed than originally believed, with a marked prevalence over periventricular ...
