Introduction and Aim: The antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are unwanted molecules which bind and destroy certain structures within the nucleus. Immunofluorescence is a powerful technique that utilizes fluorescent-labeled antibodies to detect specific target antigens. The aim of this study was to detect the anti-testicular antibody among infertile males in Baghdad city and determine the most common type of infertility. Materials and Methods: The study involved 73 male (53 infertile and 20 non-infertile) volunteers, at Kamal Al-Samarrai Teaching Hospital in Baghdad, Iraq. Serum collected from the study subjects was tested for steroid-cell antibodies (STC-Ab), anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) and anti-testicular antibodies (ATCA) by Indirect Immunofluorescence assay (IIFA). Data obtained was subjected to statistical analysis using the SPSS program. Results: In the current study 52.9% of infertile men tested positive for testicular antibodies compared to the control group. The highest rate of testicular cell antibodies was observed in the serum of infertile patients aged between 30-39 years and the lowest in patients aged 50-59 years. The marriage duration among those showing the highest percentage of antibodies against testicular cells was 1-10 years. Study for the association of male infertility type to those positive for ATCA showed almost all (85.7%) patients with necrozoospermia to be positive for ATCA. This was followed by males with azoospermia (50%) and oligospermia (46.9%). The patients were negative for Addison’s disease while a few (28.6%) were positive for lupus erythematosus.
This study aims to determine the toxic effect for different concentrations of supercyren pesticide on some physiological and histological features of the sixty male mice by oral administration. The experimental mice took oral administration of 5mg and 10mg/Kg every day to every mice for two weeks in group 2 and 3 respectively and for four weeks for group 5 and 6 respectively. After 2 or 4 weeks AST, ALT and ALP enzymes, urea , creatinine and testosterone hormone were estimated. The following organs were taken for histological studies (Liver, Kidney, testes). The results of this physiological study showed that the oral administration of supercyren pesticide affect these organs (Kidney, liver, testes). Then histological changes in kidney, liver and testes proved the physiological effect. On the other hand, the high concentration of the pesticide had a significant impact on users as well as the greater duration effect was greater physiological and histologically.
In the case of Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, patients are usually cured with Vasopressin (V2) receptor antagonists, which delay the ongoing growth of cyst formation and slow the pace of AD disease progression. Before we know more, it is uncertain if the increase in vasopressin amide levels that was detected during V2RAT treatment impacts the production of glucose in the intestines. Cell growth and fluid secretion are aided by high intracellular concentrations of adenosine 3',5;-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP), which leads to cyst development. SST, a hormone implicated in a variety of cell activities, has the potential to block the generation of intracellular cAMP. Nevertheless, since Somatostatin is quickly removed in vivo, it has little therapeutic promise. As a result, analogues with a longer half-life have been established, which might be potential medicines in the therapy of ADPKD. This review covers the complicated physiological consequences of Somatostatin, especially on the kidneys, as well as the possible therapeutic use of SST analogues in ADPKD.
Around 80% of the hyperthyroidism cases of women of childbearing age are inflammatory due to Graves' disease. Production and manifestation of other than gestational and early-onset diabetes may be linked to the hormonal modifications in the maternal immune system during birth. Therefore, in addition to the hormonal influences, the pregnancy test will be affected by various anatomical modifications or alterations seen in the body during pregnancy. For the health of a woman and the start of her pregnancy, thyroid hormones are very significant. These hormones are critical in early development and play a vital role in continuing the fetus's growth since conception. Women with untreated or inadequately controlled hyperthyroidism are at risk of giving birth problems. Future diseases, particularly those with IUGRTH producing so many fetuses. The treatment of hyperthyroid pregnant people is so tricky, and medical staff involvement is needed to ensure that it's monitored and treated in various ways. Pregnant women are prescribed antithyroid medications, and it is the medication of preference for most pregnant women (ATDs). Although both of these medications are transmitted to the fetus by the mother's bloodstream, they are significantly efficient in the treatment of maternal hyperthyroidism. Still, they need caution throughout the second half of pregnancy because of the possibility of fetopathy. Except in the first trimesters from weeks 6 to 10 weeks, the most prevalent adverse effect is abnormalities in the fetal; even with that as a caveat, the incidence of birth defects is high during the first trimester with the help of ATDs. The treatment of hyperthyroidism during pregnancy goes into four issues that are currently of major importance to obstetricians: its aetiology, disease occurrence, proper detection, under treatment, complications, and actual or a missed diagnosis and intervention, and finally, the method of dealing with the problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
