Forty-four patients from three tertiary referral centres with forgotten JJ stents left in them between the years 2007 and 2014 were...
To evaluate the association of fetuin-A polymorphisms with calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis. Fetuin-A is a circulating calcium-regulatory glycoprotein that inhibits extraosseous calcification.Fetuin-A c.742C > T and c.766C > G polymorphisms were investigated in 103 patients with calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis and 73 age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers, using polymerase chain reaction-restriction...
The lipid composition of spermatozoa plays an important role for successful fertilization.In the present study, we analyzed the fatty acid (FA) composition of spermatozoa of normozoospermic, asthenozoospermic, oligozoospermic and oligoasthenozoospermic men.Spermatozoa from asthenozoospermic (P<0.01), oligozoospermic (P<0.05) and oligoasthenozoospermic men (P<0.05) had lower levels of docosahexaenoic...
