Background
Entire deletion of the azoospermia factor a (AZFa) region commonly results in non‐obstructive‐azoospermia (NOA). Although sY84 and sY86 are recommended as the first choice of sequence‐tagged sites (STSs) primers in AZFa region, and their deletions suggest a very high probability of complete deletion of AZFa, extension analysis is now compulsory to identify the deletion pattern.

Cell‐free seminal RNA (cfs‐RNA) is mixed transcripts derived from male reproductive organs, and is potential biomarker for the research and diagnosis of male reproductive‐related diseases. However, some clinical factors, including age, asymptomatic Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) infection, scrotal heat stress, abstinence period, and the storage condition of semen samples, may interfere with sperm parameters...
Low testosterone is associated with late‐onset hypogonadism (LOH) and obesity. Recently, studies have shown that four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs12150660, rs727428, rs5934505, and rs10822184, are associated with testosterone levels in populations of European descent. Therefore, we investigated whether the SNP loci are related to low testosterone, LOH, or obesity in a Chinese Han population...
In this study, the ageing males' symptoms (AMS) scale was translated into Chinese following methodological recommendations for linguistic and cultural adaptation. This study aimed to confirm the reliability, validation and applicability of the simplified Chinese version of the scale (CN‐AMS) in older Chinese men, a free health screening for men older than 40 years was conducted. All participants completed...
Brain dysfunction in erectile dysfunction (ED) has been identified by multiple neuroimaging studies. A recent MRI study indicated grey matter alterations in ED patients. This study aims to investigate the microstructural changes of cerebral white matter (WM) in psychological ED patients and their possible correlations with clinical variables. Twenty‐seven psychological ED patients and 27 healthy subjects...
