Prediction of deleterious non-synonymous SNPs of human MDC1 gene: an in silico approach
Syst Biol Reprod Med. 2024 Dec;70(1):101-112. doi: 10.1080/19396368.2024.2325699. Epub 2024 Apr 17.ABSTRACTMDC1 (Mediator of DNA damage Checkpoint protein 1) functions to facilitate the localization of numerous DNA damage response (DDR) components to DNA double-strand break sites. MDC1 is an integral component in preserving genomic stability and appropriate DDR regulation. There haven't been systematic investigations of MDC1 mutations that induce cancer and genomic instability. Variations in nsSNPs have the potential to modify the protein chemistry and their function. Describing functional SNPs in disease-associated genes ...

Correlation between standard sperm parameters and sperm DNA fragmentation from 11,339 samples
Syst Biol Reprod Med. 2024 Dec;70(1):91-100. doi: 10.1080/19396368.2024.2333285. Epub 2024 Apr 17.ABSTRACTConventional semen parameters have long been considered fundamental in male fertility analyses. However, doubts have been raised regarding the clinical utility of the assessment of spermatozoa (sperm) DNA damage. In this retrospective study, we investigated the potential correlation between conventional semen parameters and semen DNA fragmentation (SDF) assessed as sperm DNA damage, in 11,339 semen samples collected between January 2019 and June 2022. We observed significant negative correlations between the DNA fragme...

Sodium oligomannate's amelioration of reproductive and metabolic phenotypes in a letrozole-induced PCOS-like mouse model depends on the gut microbiome
In conclusion, the hyperinsulinemia and hyperandrogenemia of PCOS-like mice were alleviated by GV-971 intervention, which was associated with mitigating bile acid metabolism and modulating gut microbiota.PMID:38630889 | DOI:10.1093/biolre/ioae058 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Trajectory of primordial follicle depletion is accelerated in obese mice in response to 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene exposure
This study indicates that obesity influences ovotoxicity caused by a genotoxicant, potentially involving accelerated primordial follicle activation and hampering normal follicular dynamics.PMID:38625059 | DOI:10.1093/biolre/ioae059 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Endocan: A biomarker for endothelial dysfunction and inflammation, linking maternal obesity and pediatric obesity in a cohort of preterm neonates
CONCLUSIONS: In our cohort of preterm neonates, elevated serum endocan at birth was associated with both maternal obesity and downstream pediatric obesity. More research is needed to understand intergenerational transmission of obesity. A large focus has been on epigenetic modification. Endothelial dysfunction and inflammation may play important roles in these pathways. Effective biomarkers, including endocan, may also serve as intermediate outcomes in future pregnancy research.PMID:38626514 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2024.04.013 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Impact of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and free androgen index on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in PCOS patients
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, PCOS patients with biochemical hyperandrogenism show unsatisfactory clinical PR and CLBR when undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART). This may be attributed to the influence of both adrenal-derived DHEAS and ovarian-derived FAI on the unfavorable pregnancy outcomes.PMID:38627777 | DOI:10.1186/s12958-024-01212-y (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Uterine infusion strategies for infertile patients with recurrent implantation failure: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Intrauterine infusion of HCG, PBMC, G-CSF, and PRP are promising strategies for improving pregnancy outcomes for infertile patients with recurrent implantation failure. Among these treatments, PRP may be the best. More researches are required to explore the effect of drug combinations and less commonly used drugs as well.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Our study was registered in PROSPERO and the ID was CRD42023467188.PMID:38627790 | DOI:10.1186/s12958-024-01221-x (Source: Reproductive Biology)

A simulation study to assess the potential benefits of MRI-based fetal weight estimation as a second-line test for suspected macrosomia
CONCLUSION: The superior accuracy of MRI-EFW over US-EFW for the diagnosis of macrosomia could result in lower rates of IOL without compromising the relative advantages of the intervention but fails to demonstrate a significant benefit to justify a replication of the original trial using MRI-EFW as a second-line test.PMID:38615575 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2024.04.009 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Successful management of fetal hypoxia due to amniotic banding at 26 weeks of pregnancy: A case report of a rare survival
CONCLUSION: This case presents the first reported survival of an extremely preterm fetus in hypoxic distress as a cause of amniotic banding of the umbilical cord, with a rare degree of incidental timing. Ultrasound diagnosis remains the gold standard.
