C.; COCUZZA, M.; SROUGI, V.; WOOD, G. J.; ESTEVES, S.; SROUGI, M.- Varicocele-Associated Infertility and the Role of Oxidative Stress on Sperm DNA Fragmentation(2021) WOOD, Guilherme Jacom Abdulmassih; CARDOSO, Joao Paulo Greco; PALUELLO, Davi Vischi; NUNES, Thiago Fagundes; COCUZZA, MarcelloVaricocele has been extensively described and studied as the most important reversible cause of male infertility. Its impact on semen parameters, pregnancy rates, and assisted reproductive outcomes have been associated with multifactorial aspects, most of them converging to increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS). More recently, sperm DNA fragmentation has gained significant attention and potential clinical use, although the body of evidence still needs further evolution. The associations between sperm DNA damage and a variety of disorders, including varicocele itself, share common pathways to ROS increase. This mini-review discusses different aspects related to the etiology of ROS and its relation to varicocele and potential mechanisms of DNA damage.
- Positive rheotaxis extended drop: a one-step procedure to select and recover sperm with mature chromatin for intracytoplasmic sperm injection(2017) MARTIN, Hamilton De; COCUZZA, Marcello S.; TISEO, Bruno C.; WOOD, Guilherme J. A.; MIRANDA, Eduardo P.; MONTELEONE, Pedro A. A.; SOARES JR., Jose Maria; SERAFINI, Paulo C.; SROUGI, Miguel; BARACAT, Edmund C.The purpose of this study was to develop a novel one-step ICSI approach to select sperm with better chromatin maturity than the conventional method. This was a pilot diagnostic study, which prospectively recruited men during a 6-month period in a University-affiliated infertility centre. Forty consecutive semen samples were provided for analysis. The positive rheotaxis extended drop (PRED) was set up creating a pressure and viscosity gradient. Each semen sample was divided into four aliquots: one aliquot for density gradient centrifugation (DGC), two aliquots for PRED (fresh semen (PRED-FS) and processed semen (PRED-DGC)), and one aliquot as the control (FS). In PRED, a mean of 200 spermatozoa were collected consecutively without selection from the outlet reservoir. The aniline blue assay was used to assess chromatin immaturity. The mean channel length, measured from inlet to outlet, was 32.55 +/- 0.86 mm, with a mean width of 1.04 +/- 0.21 mm. In 82.5% of cases (33/40), at least 50 spermatozoa were captured between 15 and 30 min. Improved chromatin maturity after the DGC preparation and the PRED approach was observed in all samples. This was reflected by a mean reduction from 28.65 +/- 8.97% uncondensed chromatin in the native ejaculates to 17.29 +/- 7.72% in DGC and 0.89 +/- 1.31% in the PRED approach (P < 0.01). The PRED method may improve the current ICSI technique by providing it with its own sperm selection process. ICSI would probably become an even more complete technique comprising selection, capture and injection of the male gamete.
