Objective To study the correlation of mitochondrial DNA mutation of spermatozoa and change of mitochondria-ultrastructure with male infertility. Methods The techniques of PCR and DNA sequence analysis were used to detect MTCYB and MTATP-6 fragments of 76 samples of semen with poor motility from infertile male.Of these samples five were identified with mitochondrial DNA deletion and transmission electron microscopic observations were made. Results Under the electron microscopic observations the 5 samples were all seen with abnormal volume of mitochondria in most spermatozoa tails either small or big, disorderly located and asymmetrically distributed;the axonemal structures of sperm wrapped in layers of mitochondria. These samples of sperm were noticeably different in form from those from fertile male. Conclusion Sperm mitochondria-ultrastructure change were observed in samples of sperm mitochondrial DNA mutation.Sperm mitochondrial mutation and its mitochondria-ultrastructure affect the energy supply of sperms during the process of fertilization which may result in male infertility.;

Objective To evaluate dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) with Patlak model for depicting the perfusion and permeability characteristics of lesions and normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) regions in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Methods Twenty-three patients with clinical confirmed RRMS were retrospectively analyzed, who had underwent conventional MRI and DCE-MRI using a 3.0 T MR scanner . The clinical characteristics and imaging data were collected. Post-processing was performed using the Patlak model. Volume transfer constant (Ktrans), fractional plasma volume (Vp) and perfusion parameters including cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral blood volume (CBV) were represented as median and interquartile range(IQR). The four parameters of non-enhanced(NE) lesions, NAWM regions located close to NE lesions(NAWM close) and NAWM regions located far from NE lesions (NAWM far) were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis H rank sum test. Artificial color mappings were also proceeded. Results MR imaging biomarkers Ktrans was 0.132(0.064, 0.233) min-1 for NE lesions, 0.111 (0.060, 0.233) min-1 for NAWM close and 0.077(0.044, 0.185) min-1 for NAWM far, respectively. CBV was 10.660(5.555, 22.193) ml · 100 g-1 for NE lesions, 9.359(4.883, 16.290) ml · 100 g-1 for NAWM close, 6.814 (4.699, 13.623) ml·100 g-1 for NAWM far, respectively. Ktrans and CBV of NE lesions was significantly higher than that of NAWM far(χ2=7.582,P<0.05;χ2=6.394,P<0.05, respectively). Ktrans and CBV of NAWM close showed no significant differences compared with NE lesions and NAWM far. Vp and CBF had no significant differences between NE lesions, NAWM close and NAWM far regions(P>0.05). Conclusion DCE-MRI with Patlak model can measure perfusion and permeability characteristics and hemodynamic abnormalities of NE lesions and NAWM regions in patients with multiple sclerosis.
