Abstract

ABSTRACT Background : Zika virus (ZIKV) is a small, enveloped, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the Flavivirus genus. It is primarily transmitted through mosquito bites, particularly from the Aedes aegypti species, and has been reported in 89 countries as of December 2021. Notably, ZIKV is the first arbovirus known to spread through sexual contact and can also be transmitted vertically from mother to fetus, raising significant reproductive health concerns due to its persistence in reproductive tissues and association with severe fetal abnormalities. As assisted reproductive technologies (ART) gain importance for family planning, ZIKV's implications extend beyond natural conception, affecting the safety of gametes and embryos used in ART. Reviews : The search method of this literature review was done in several databases such as Pubmed, Scopus, Cochrane, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Proquest using keywords (“Zika Virus”) AND (“Assisted Reproductive Technology”). The types of studies are in-vitro, in-vivo, pre-clinical, and clinical studies that assess the effect of Zika virus infection in reproductive health. We are also focusing on the study that discusses the concept of Zika virus infection, reproductive health, Assisted Reproductive Technologies, risk of ZIKV transmission in ART, and procedures including pre-counseling, risk assessment, and screening protocols in ART. The author was last searched on 5th December 2024. Summary : Zika virus (ZIKV) infection poses significant risks during assisted reproductive technology (ART) due to its potential for sexual transmission and prolonged presence in reproductive tissues, necessitating rigorous screening and management protocols to ensure reproductive health and safety Keywords : Zika virus, Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), and Reproductive Health

Abstract

The use of e-cigarettes has become a trend in populations recently, even though the effects caused by e-cigarettes are not much different from traditional cigarettes. Male infertility caused by stressful social factors and addictive disorder such as alcoholism, drug addiction, and smoking also has been increased. E-cigarettes lead to increased sympathetic activation and oxidative stress it can cause significant damage to endothelial cells. Nicotine exposure acutely raises sympathetic nervous system activity, causing vasoconstriction through the release of norepinephrine and epinephrine, which reduces penile blood flow. The well-known equation endothelial dysfunction equals erectile dysfunction clearly illustrates how ischemia and hypoxia lead to endothelial dysfunction and increased collagen synthesis, resulting in vasculogenic ED. some of the additives used in e-cigarettes could affect spermatogenesis.

Abstract

Background : Hypogonadism in men can be identified through various clinical and subjective symptoms, which may be assessed using the Aging Male Symptoms (AMS) questionnaire. COVID-19 infection has been suggested to impact hormonal and reproductive function in men, but the relationship between post-infection symptoms and hypogonadism risk based on subjective measures remains underexplored in Indonesia. Objective : This study aims to determine the association between COVID-19-related characteristics and the risk of hypogonadism in men, assessed using the AMS score. Methods : A cross-sectional study was conducted on 152 male residents of Denpasar, Bali, aged ≥18 years. Data were collected through online and offline questionnaires, including demographics, lifestyle, COVID-19 infection history, and AMS scores. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify associations between COVID-19 indicators and hypogonadism risk. Results : Among respondents, 32.24% had an AMS score ≥27, indicating potential hypogonadism. A higher proportion of AMS ≥27 was found in individuals with obesity, comorbidities, occasional smoking, and moderate alcohol consumption. Although more severe COVID-19 indicators (e.g., hospitalization, prolonged symptoms, oxygen use) were observed in the AMS ≥27 group, statistical analysis showed no significant association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and hypogonadism risk (p > 0.05). Conclusion : While men with a history of COVID-19 infection exhibited higher AMS scores suggestive of hypogonadism, no statistically significant relationship was found. Further longitudinal studies with hormonal assays are needed to explore the long-term impact of COVID-19 on male reproductive health.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background : Male infertility is reproductive health issues that are getting more attention, one of the reason is the due to the disruption of sperm quality. Sperm motility and morphology becomes important parameters in determining fertility levels Objective : The objective of this research is to understand the microscopic image of sperm motility and morphology on patients in one of the hospital in Yogyakarta. Methods : This research use obervational descriptive design with cross-sectional approach and purposive sampling technique. Sperm analysis done through microscopic examination of 95 samples. Sperm according to WHO in 2021 guidelines. The inspection begins by getting sample after 2-7 prohibition, continued by macroscopic and microscopic analysis according to standard inspection squence from WHO in 2021 Results : The result of this research shows that sample has normal motility by 85,3% and abnormal motility by 14,7%. Moreover, sperm normal morphology covers the form of head, neck, tail, and cytoplasm remains. Patient distribution most happened on the age of 20-39 (93,7%), according to WHO in 2021 as active reproductive age. Conclusion : The research result show that the majority patient getting Asthenzoospermia, by 14,7% has abnormal sperm motility. Teratozoospermia found on 98,9% sample, marked by morphology abnormality on head, neck, tail, and cytoplasm.

Abstract

Background : The high consumption of fried foods in Indonesia leads to the common practice of repeatedly using cooking oil, transforming it into waste cooking oil (in Indonesian called “minyak jelantah). This oil undergoes chemical changes that generate compounds like reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are known to induce oxidative stress and are implicated in male infertility by disrupting spermatogenesis. Objective : This study aimed to investigate the effect of waste cooking oil administration on the number of spermatogenic cells (spermatogonia, primary spermatocytes, and spermatids) in the testes of male mice (Mus musculus). Methods : This experimental study used a post-test-only control group design. Fourteen male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into a control group (n=7), administered 0.2 ml/day of aquades, and a intevention group (n=7), administered 0.2 ml/day of waste cooking oil (palm oil heated 8 times at 180°C) for 36 days via oral sonde. After the intervention period, the mice were euthanized, and their testes were extracted for histological preparation with Hematoxylin-Eosin (H&E) staining. The number of spermatogenic cells was counted under a microscope across four fields of view. Data were analyzed using an Independent T-test. Results : Consecutively mean number of the spermatogonia, prymary spermatocyte and spermatids in the control group are 51,98 ± 1,60; 64,50 ± 2,14; 81,31 ± 3,04. Meanwhilem, Consecutively mean number of the spermatogonia, prymary spermatocyte and spermatids in the intervention group are 28,93 ± 3,20; 39,31 ± 3,57; 45,25 ± 3,97. Which mean, the mean number of spermatogenic cells was significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group Conclusion : The administration of waste cooking oil significantly reduces the population of spermatogenic cells including spermaogonia, prymary spermatocyte, and spermatid cells in male mice, indicating a detrimental effect on spermatogenesis. Keywords : Waste Cooking Oil, Spermatogenic Cells, Spermatogenesis, Oxidative Stress.

Abstract

Background: Male infertility is widely recognized as major health problem, contributing to around 50% infertility cases. Chronic excessive alcohol consumption has been found to negatively affect sperm quality. Arak Bali, a traditional spirit from Indonesia, is widely consumed, yet its specific impact on the process of spermatogenesis remains scientifically uninvestigated. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of chronic Arak Bali administration on the counts of spermatogonia, primary spermatocytes, and spermatids in male Wistar rats. Methods: This study utilized a post-test only control group design. Fourteen male Wistar rats were analyzed, allocated into a Control group (n=6) which received aquades, and an Intervention group (n=8) which was administered Arak Bali (40% v/v) daily for 42 days. For each rat, the average cell count from three seminiferous tubules was used as the representative value. Group data were compared using an independent T-test, with significance set at p < 0.05. Results: Spermatogonia, primary spermatocytes, and spermatids showing no statistically significant differences between the Control and Intervention groups for the mean counts of spermatogonia (p = 0.162), primary spermatocytes (p =0.571), or spermatids (p = 0.628). Conclusion: Chronic administration of 40% v/v Arak Bali at 0.5mL per rat per day did not significantly show a reduction in cell counts in spermatogonium, primary spermatocytes, and spermatid in Wistar rats.
