“…Транспортировка сперматозоидов через женский репродуктивный тракт имеет важное значение для достижения оплодотворения. Результаты исследований продемонстрировали, что ВМС могут нарушать цервико-маточно-тубарный транспорт сперматозоидов [17][18][19][20][21]. Вместе с тем шейка матки синтезирует высокогидратированную слизь, и сперматозоиды продвигаются по цервикальному каналу благодаря особенностям шеечной слизи [18,19].…”

Intrauterine adhesions: from pathogenesis to effective coping technologies

Intrauterine adhesions (IUDs) are one of the unresolved and unsolved problems of modern reproductive medicine worldwide. Adhesive lesions lead to partial or complete obliteration of the uterine cavity and/or cervical canal. The main clinical manifestations of IUDs are menstrual irregularities, cyclical pain, infertility and other various reproductive disorders. Reproductive outcomes in women with IUDs remain poorly understood and difficult to verify. At the same time, there is currently no understanding of the basic mechanisms of IUD development, including the processes explaining the failures of the above complications. The problem of overcoming IUD recurrences after adhesiolysis remains far from being finally resolved. The gold-standard treatment for IUD is hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, which, however, is associated with a high frequency of complications and relapses, highlighting the need for preventive approaches to the management of IUD. The drugs with enzymatic activity inhibiting abnormal connective tissue include bovhyaluronidase azoximer created by the Russian developers back in 2005. The drug consists of two components – hyaluronidase and azoximer bromide. The former is an enzyme, and the latter is a stabilizer that prolongs the action of hyaluronidase. Several studies have shown that bovhyaluronidase azoximer causes the destruction of intrauterine adhesions and restores the endometrium status in inflammatory pelvic diseases. Due to prolonged antifibrotic effect of bovhyaluronidase, azoximer can be used to treat women with IUDs to reduce the risk of the subsequent development of adhesive process in the uterine cavity.

“…reported the elevated levels of IL‐1β in the varicocele patients compared to the normal group 71 . The presence of inflammatory cytokines and leukocytes in semen can have detrimental effects on spermatozoa by the production of INF‐γ, leading to apoptosis and decreased sperm motility 72–74 . In addition, it has been suggested that TNF‐α induces sperm chromatin and DNA damage, elevated level of phosphatidylserine externalization, reduced sperm motility, and mitochondrial membrane potential of human spermatozoa in a concentration‐ and time‐dependent manner 75 …”

Varicocele is recognized as one of the main attributable causes of male infertility which can affect spermatogenesis by various pathophysiological mechanisms. Recent studies have identified oxidative stress and reduction in antioxidant, hyperthermia, hypoxia, hormonal dysfunction, and inflammatory conditions as major factors in the pathophysiology of varicocele, all of which have known direct associations with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and can significantly increase the risk of detrimental COVID-19-related outcomes. Emerging data have shown an association between COVID-19 and inflammation, overproduction of cytokine, and other pathophysiological processes. The present review, summarizes the current understanding of the pathophysiology of varicocele and investigates the potential correlation between the severity of COVID-19 and the varicocele disease. In addition, various possible treatments which can be effective in both diseases were examined. Despite numerous challenges associated with the prevalence of COVID-19 in healthcare systems in infected countries, special attention should be given to maintaining a high level of care for complex patients with a pre-existing disease such as varicocele and providing appropriate practical advice for optimal control of the COVID-19 disease.

“…Stem cells with the ability to self-renewal, as well as high proliferation and differentiation, play the role of cell source to create target tissues such as bone. However, it should be noted that in some cases, stem cells are also involved as the primary source of cancer, and some other pathological cases, such as endometriosis, may lead to infertility [ 7 – 10 ]. Meanwhile, mesenchymal stem cells, especially endometrial stem cells, have a high ability to proliferate, differentiate, and angiogenesis.…”

Preparation and In Vitro Osteogenic Evaluation of Biomimetic Hybrid Nanocomposite Scaffolds Based on Gelatin/Plasma Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF) and Lithium-Doped 45s5 Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles

Bone tissue engineering is an emerging technique for repairing large bone lesions. Biomimetic techniques expand the use of organic–inorganic spongy-like nanocomposite scaffolds and platelet concentrates. In this study, a biomimetic nanocomposite scaffold was prepared using lithium-doped bioactive-glass nanoparticles and gelatin/PRGF. First, sol–gel method was used to prepare bioactive-glass nanoparticles that contain 0, 1, 3, and 5%wt lithium. The lithium content was then optimized based on antibacterial and MTT testing. By freeze-drying, hybrid scaffolds comprising 5, 10, and 20% bioglass were made. On the scaffolds, human endometrial stem cells (hEnSCs) were cultured for adhesion (SEM), survival, and osteogenic differentiation. Alkaline phosphatase activity and osteopontin, osteocalcin, and Runx2 gene expression were measured. The effect of bioactive-glass nanoparticles and PRGF on nanocomposites' mechanical characteristics and glass-transition temperature ( T g ) was also studied. An optimal lithium content in bioactive glass structure was found to be 3% wt. Nanoparticle SEM examination indicated grain deformation due to different sizes of lithium and sodium ions. Results showed up to 10% wt bioactive-glass and PRGF increased survival and cell adhesion. Also, Hybrid scaffolds revealed higher ALP-activity and OP, OC, and Runx2 gene expression. Furthermore, bioactive-glass has mainly increased ALP-activity and Runx2 expression, whereas PRGF increases the expression of OP and OC genes. Bioactive-glass increases scaffold modulus and T g continuously. Hence, the presence of both bioactive-glass and nanocomposite scaffold improves the expression of osteogenic differentiation biomarkers. Subsequently, it seems that hybrid scaffolds based on biopolymers, Li-doped bioactive-glass, and platelet extracts can be a good strategy for bone repair. Graphical Abstract
