This study was performed to identify the effect of the hydrosalpinx fluid on sperm motility. It has been reported that the patients with hydrosalpinx show the outstandingly lower success rate than other patients having infertility by different factors. It is unclear that the cause of it is influenced by hydrosalpinx fluid directly or by secondary chronic inflammation of endometrium. We wanted to know if the hydrosalpinx fluid influences sperm motility parameters directly such that it is related to the development of infertility. Therefore, using computer assisted semen analyzer (CASA), we observed, from February to July, 1997, how sperm motility, sperm progressive motility, sperm curvilinear velocity, sperm lateral head displacement, sperm straightness and sperm linearity change after treating normal sperm with hydrosalpinx fluid to evaluate sperm function on infertility. The result was that the study group (n=32) has the tendency to differ from the control group (n=32) on sperm motility, progressive motility, curvilinear velocity, lateral head displacement, straightness and linearity. We concluded that the hydrosalpinx fluid, with varying degree, directly has the harmful effects on sperm motility parameters, that is, curvilinear velocity, lateral head displacement and linearity of sperm which are related to the hyperactivation, hence decreased capacitation.

Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor or Brenner tumor is a relatively rare ovarian tumor. Other associated elements in the form of epithelial, mesenchymal, and tumor components of each tumor have been reported. The Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor with a Brenner tumor element has not been documented in the literature, so we are reporting on a case of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor coexisting with a Brenner tumor. This 62-year-old woman presented with a 4 year history of lower abdominal mass and vaginal bleeding. Exploratory laparotomy was done. The left ovary showed a multiseptated, cystic, yellow-white solid mass, measuring 17.0x13.0x5.0 cm and weighing 985.0 gm. Microscopic examination revealed a tubular or trabecular arrangement of the Sertoli cells and variable numbers of Leydig cells. There were several tumor nests with cystic spaces composed of ovoid cells showing longitudinal nuclear grooving. Sarcomatoid or heterologous elements were not found.

The most serious and frequent complication of intracranial arteriovenous malformations(AVMs) is intracranial hemorrhage. To identify clinical and angiographic characteristics of AVM which positively correlates with hemorrhagic presentation, we retrospectively analyzed 61 consecutive cases with intracranial AVMs. The following charateristics correlated positively with hemorrhagic presentation of AVMs male sexuality(P=0.059, borderline significance), history of hypertension(p<0.05), nidal dimeter<3cm(p<0.05), deep venous drainage(p<0.05), presence of intranidal aneurysm(P<0.05). Detailed analysis of the clinical and angiographic factors associated with risk of bleeding from AVMs may be the important prognostic implications for the treatment of patients with these leions.
