Authors: Wiyono Teguh , Dwiningsih Sri Ratna , Widjiati Widjiati
Published: November 2023

Background: Since endometriosis causes a decrease in oocyte quality, the success rate of in vitro fertilization cycles decreases. The purpose of the current study was to analyze the effect of endometriosis on intracellular calcium levels, Cdk1 expression, and cyclin B expression in oocytes.
Methods: Thirty-two mice (Mus musculus) were divided into control and endo-metriosis groups. The cumulus oocyte complex (COC) were obtained in all groups. Denudated cells were assessed for calcium levels by calorimetric examinations. Complex oocytes were examined for Cdk1 and cyclin B expression by immune-cytochemistry and were read under a microscope.
Results: Intercellular calcium levels, Cdk1, and cyclin B expression were signifi-cantly lower in the endometriosis group than in the control group. There was a signi-ficant relationship between calcium levels and Cdk1 expression (p<0.05, r=0.659), a significant relationship between calcium levels and cyclin B expression (p<0.05, r=0.885), and also a significant correlation between Cdk1 and cyclin B expression (p<0.05, r=0.537).
Conclusion: The data presented in this study suggested that the intracellular oocyte calcium level, Cdk1 expression, and cyclin B expression were lower in mice with endometriosis. A positive correlation was observed between calcium levels and the expression of Cdk1 and cyclin B. Furthermore, a positive correlation was also found between Cdk1 and cyclin B expression.
The Effect of FSHR (G2039A) Polymorphism on Müllerian Duct Development and Hormonal Profile of Women with Primary Amenorrhea
Authors: Sanghavi Priyanka , Chandel Divya
Published: November 2023

Background: The function of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is mediated by binding to its G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) which is expressed on granulosa cells of the ovary. The purpose of the current study was to examine the impact of FSHR G2039A polymorphism (rs6166; Ser680Asn) on clinical and radiology profiles of women with primary amenorrhea (PA) in Gujarat, India.
Methods: A total of 90 women (45 controls and 45 cases) were recruited for the study after obtaining informed consent. The DNA extraction was performed on the venous blood samples collected from the participants, followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The presence of polymorphism was then analyzed using restriction fragment polymorphism (RFLP) with the BSeNI enzyme. The statistical analysis was conducted using an independent t-test, chi-square test, and ANOVA. Significance was determined by a p<0.05.
Results: Results revealed that homozygous wild type genotype was observed in 46.7% (n=21) of the control group and 11.1% (n=5) of the case group. Heterozygous genotype was observed in 33.3% (n=15) of the control group and 55.6% (n=25) of the case group (p<0.001). Homozygous mutant genotype was observed in 20% (n=9) of the control group and 33.3% (n=15) of the case group (p<0.01). The hormonal profile revealed that serum levels of FSH and luteinizing hormone (LH) were significantly higher (p<0.05) in the AA and AG genotypes compared to the GG genotypes.
Conclusion: The FSHR rs6166 G2039A was associated with PA in women, and the A allele could be considered a causative risk factor in developing the condition.
Comparison of the Administration of 150 or 75 IU of Recombinant LH in Agonist ICSI Cycles Stimulated with Recombinant FSH in Women Aged 35-39: A Comparative Study
Authors: Matorras Roberto , Aspichueta Fermin , Prieto Begoña , Mendoza Rosario , Malaina Iker , Corral Blanca , Crisol Lorena , Vendrell Alberto , Exposito Antonia
Published: November 2023

Background: The purpose of the study was to assess whether the coadministration of 150 IU of recombinant LH instead of 75 IU in women aged 35-39 improves the results in agonist ICSI cycles stimulated with 300 IU of recombinant FSH.
Methods: In this study, two ovarian stimulation protocols coexisted which were identical except in the administered dose of recombinant LH, for which some patients received 150 IU (n=231) and some received 75 IU (n=216). Both groups received 300 IU of recombinant FSH. Gonadotropins were reimbursed by the National Health System. Statistical analysis was performed by Student’s t test, χ2, and ANCOVA. Significance level was established at p=0.05.
Results: The number of retrieved oocytes was slightly higher in the 300/150 group (9.06±5.53 vs. 8.61±5.11), but the differences were not significant. Results were similar with the number of metaphase II oocytes (7.18±4.86 vs. 6.72±4.72) and the number of fertilized oocytes (4.64±3.2 vs. 4.23±2.72). The per-transfer clinical pregnancy rates exhibited close similarity between both groups (32.84% vs. 32.46%), as did the per-transfer live birth rates (29.90% vs. 30.37%) and the implantation rate. The rate of hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) as well as the rate of cancellation due to OHHS risk was similar in both groups. There was also no difference in the miscarriage rate. When results were expressed by per started cycle or by oocyte pick-up, the results remained very similar in both groups.
Conclusion: In women aged 35-39 undergoing ovarian stimulation with recombinant FSH in agonist cycles, the coadministration of 75 or 150 UI of recombinant LH did not influence pregnancy rates. However, a slight increase in the number of retrieved oocytes should not be disregarded.

Authors: Mohammadshirazi Zahra , Alyasin Ashraf , Hosseini Marzieh Agha , Hazari Vajihe
Published: November 2023

Background: The efficiency of in vitro fertilization is improved by growth hormone (GH) during ovarian stimulation. Additionally, patients with diabetes experience im-paired insulin resistance and compromised glucose tolerance, which further ex-acerbate their condition. Due to these side effects, in this study, the duration of GH treatment was compared in IVF/ICSI cycles among poor ovarian responders.
Methods: In this study, POSEIDON criteria were used to choose patients. Sub-cutaneous administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist was done beginning on the sixth day of the cycle and continuing through the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection. In one group, GH was administered 4 units/day from the 2 nd day of the cycle until hCG injection, and in another group, the first dose was administered on the 6th day of the cycle. Following the admin-istration of hCG, which lasted from 24 to 36 hr, oocytes were retrieved with the support of B-mode sonography.
Results: In our analysis, no significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of the number of retrieved oocytes, metaphase II oocytes, and quality of grade A and B embryos. The results show that the treatment or conditions did not have a significant impact on the outcomes among the studied groups.
Conclusion: Our findings indicate that a shorter duration of GH administration can yield similar outcomes compared to a longer duration in IVF/ICSI cycles involving poor ovarian responders. This result holds the potential for a more cost-effective and patient-friendly approach in managing assisted reproductive technology procedures. It may lead to reduced side effects and improved adherence to medication regimens in patients.
Homozygosity for Robertsonian Translocation (14q;15q) in a Newborn with a Familial History of Recurrent Abortion and Newborns Affected by Hepatosplenomegaly: A Case Report
Authors: Sahraeean Sahra , Jebelli Asiyeh , Shahbazi Zahra , Piryaei Fahimeh
Published: November 2023

Background: Robertsonian translocations (RobTs) are one of the major chromosomal abnormalities which lead to spontaneous abortion. They occur in the human population at the rate of 1 in 1000 live infants. In this paper, a family carrying one of the rare RobTs was presented and some features of all kinds of RobTs were reviewed.
Case Presentation: A couple with a history of three miscarriages was referred to Omid Health Clinic of Hamadan, Iran. The karyotype of the woman was 45,XX, rob(14;15)(q10;q10) and she exhibited phenotypically good health. Karyotype analysis of proband’s uncle and his wife with a consanguineous marriage revealed that they were both carriers of rob(14;15). This couple had six offspring, three of which were dead, and the other three were alive with a normal phenotype. Besides, this couple had an unborn child, with a karyotype of 44,XX,rob(14;15)(q10;q10).
Conclusion: These observations showed that genetic counseling, pedigree, and chromosomal analysis are needed to discover the cause of spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, congenital anomalies, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), etc. Moreover, families carrying RobTs would be offered prenatal diagnosis screening tests and, if necessary, assisted reproductive technology methods to assist with preimplantation genetic test for structural rearrangement (PGT-SR) reproduction.

Background: The study has a bifold objectives, firstly to determine the concentration of iron (Fe) in the soil and pond water within the vicinity of a historical gold mine region located in the Kolar Gold fields (KGF), Karnataka, India. Secondly, the study seeks to investigate the process of bioaccumulation of the heavy metal, iron in the muscles of Zebrafish inhabiting the same area. Methods: To achieve the objectives, the study employed Thermo Scientific’s Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and ICP-AES using Iteva software to evaluate and statistically analyze the distribution of iron in the soil, pond water and muscles samples. Four soil sample sites (A, B, C and D) were selected based on their proximity to residential area. Soil samples were examined from January to December, 2022, while pond water samples were analyzed between April and October, 2022 following a southwest monsoon rain. Result: During the study, the analysis of soil samples taken from the four mine landfills revealed elevated levels of heavy metals, with the highest mean concentration of 41915.17 mg/kg found in Site A. In the pond water, sample site B exhibited an exceedingly high Fe concentration during October with 5.56 mg/L followed by sample site D, A and C with 4.89, 3.89 and 3.54 mg/L, respectively against 0.98 mg/L in the control site. The concentration of Fe in the muscles was exceedingly high in the sample site B with 10457 mg/Kg on day 30 of October to that of 8219 mg/Kg on day 30 of April month, which is far above the threshold value of 100 mg/kg as per the regulatory bodies (WHO 1993). The outcome of this experiment will facilitate the assessment of surface soil contamination levels and the likelihood of contaminants entering the aquatic environment, resulting in the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in the aquatic organisms.

Background: Being the vital organ of circulatory system, the development of the heart before birth must be studied to safeguard the animal from the incidence of various developmental anomalies. The histochemical and biochemical details of cardiac architecture especially in pre-natal sheep have not yet been reported. Methods: The collected foeti of sheep were divided into three age groups viz. early prenatal (up to 50 days), mid prenatal (51-100 days) and late prenatal (101 to 150 days). The samples of heart were processed by routine paraffin technique and cryo technique and after section cutting, the slides were stained by various histochemical staining methods. Further, fresh pieces of the heart samples were also processed for getting tissue extracts for the biochemical analysis. Result: It was revealed that the PAS activity was observed in the cardiac wall, interatrial septum and interventricular septum in the sheep foeti at all stages of gestation. A variable degree of acid phosphatase activity was noted in the myocardium of heart wall in the sheep foeti at all stages of gestation. The lipid deposition also increased with advancing age in the myocardium of cardiac wall, interatrial septum and interventricular septum in the heart of sheep foeti. The activities of various enzymes like creatine kinase, alkaline phosphatase, serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase and serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase were high in left ventricle than the right ventricle in the heart of sheep foeti. Certain protein bands of specific molecular weight appeared in the ventricular tissue at specific age of gestation in addition to a group of common proteins which appeared in ventricular tissue of sheep foeti in all age groups under study.

Background: Phosphorus acts as a limiting nutrient in aquatic environments due to its non-availability as it forms insoluble precipitate with Ca, Mg, Fe and Al. Phosphorus solubilising bacteria (PSB) solubilizes the inorganic precipitate into soluble phosphorus. Methods: The PSB isolates were screened and isolated from rhizospheric sediment of mangrove, Avicennia marina of Ennore creek, Tamil Nadu. Their phosphorus transformation potential and the possibilities of their application in aquaculture to solubilize inorganic phosphorus were studied. Result: In the present study, thirteen nos. of PSB isolates were screened from the rhizospheric sediment samples of Avicennia marina collected from Ennore region and identified as Rhodococcus, Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Enterococcus, Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas. The P-solubilizing activity and Acid phosphatase (ACPase) activity of PSB isolates were found to be in the range of 7.62±0.51- 16.33±0.84 mg/l and 4.40±0.28 - 22.77±0.32 mmol ml-1 h-1 respectively. The maximum ACPase activity was exhibited by Arthrobacter sp (22.77±0.32 mmol ml-1 h-1) followed by Rhodococcus sp. (18.08±0.78 mmol ml-1 h-1). The P-mobilizing potential of the isolates obtained in this study were compared with the commercial product following a microcosm study for a period of 21 days. Rhodococcus sp showed higher ACPase activity in sediment (12.00 mmol g-1 h-1) than that of the commercial product (11.23 mmol g-1 h-1).

Neurobiological Components of Sexual Identity Development and Epigenetic Effects of Environmental Stressors
Authors: SARİ Mesut , SAVCI Uğur , BALTA Büşra , ÖZTÜRK Yusuf , TUFAN Ali Evren
Published: November 2023

In this review, we explore the intricate development of sexual identity, drawing insights from genetic, endocrinological, neuroanatomical, and neurophysiological studies. Gender identity, encapsulating an individual's internal perception as male or female, undergoes a nuanced and gradual formation, commencing early in life and progressing through distinct stages. Gender nonconformity delineates behaviors that diverge from culturally prescribed norms, while gender dysphoria encompasses the emotional distress experienced by some individuals due to a mismatch between their gender identity and assigned sex at birth. The genesis of sexual identity involves multifaceted processes spanning numerous years. Human sex differentiation involves the suppression or inactivation of specific genes, a phenomenon illuminated by genetic investigations into gender dysphoria, which have shown comparable rates of genetic variations to the general population. Nevertheless, twin studies suggest an augmented likelihood of transsexuality among family members, hinting at potential environmental influences. Brain sexual differentiation occurs during mid-to-late pregnancy due to the impact of gonadal hormones. The mechanisms underpinning the loss of feminine brain characteristics and subsequent masculinization likely involve a combination of factors, indicating a complex interplay rather than a singular cause. Studies propose that human sexual behavior is not governed by a solitary gene but rather by a network of genes dispersed across the genome. Notably, disparities in brain structures, functionalities between genders, as well as variations in endocrine and serotonin-dopamine levels, are implicated in the etiology of gender dysphoria, contributing to the understanding of this complex phenomenon situated between genders.

Penelitian menggunakan jenis penelitian hukum normatif (doktriner) dan menggunakan Pendekatan Perundang-Undangan (Statue Approach) dan Pendekatan Kasus (Case Approach). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Mahkamah telah berperan secara responsif dalam melakukan larangan rangkap jabatan Wakil Menteri pada jabatan di Badan Usaha Milik Negara. Peran responsif Mahkamah ditunjukkan dengan menggunakan model penafsiran hukum responsif terhadap ketentuan Pasal 10 Undang-Undang Nomor 39 Tahun 2008 tentang Kementerian Negara sesuai dengan kebutuhan hukum masyarakat pada saat ini. Dalam pertimbangan hukumnya Mahkamah telah merespon fakta sosial apabila tidak ada larangan rangkap jabatan bagi Wakil Menteri sebagaimana Menteri akan berakibat menimbulkan dampak yang massif pada perubahan dimensi budaya kerja dalam sistem birokrasi. Rangkap jabatan dapat menyebabkan timbulnya conflict of interest yang tanpa sadar memberi ruang terjadinya tindak Kolusi, Korupsi dan Nepotisme.

Sumber data yang diperoleh adalah sumber data primer dan data sekunder. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini yaitu wawancara dan observasi.

Hambatan yang dihadapi adalah: 1) substansi Peraturan Daerah yang tidak jelas; 2) sumber daya manusia dalam hal ini mengenai pemahaman konsep yang masih bias dan keterbatasan waktu dan tenaga; 3) harmonisasi antar instansi yang masih belum sinergi; 4) Partisipasi masyarakat.

Published: November 2023

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis kepegawaian Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi sebagai Lembaga Negara Independen dalam Menunjang Good Governance. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian yang bersifat desrkiptif analitis dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan perbandingan. Jenis dan sumber hukum pada penelitian ini menggunakan bahan hukum primer dan sekunder dengan Teknik pengumpunan melalui studi dokumen. Teknik analisisnya menggunakan teknis analisis bahan hukum dengan metode penalaran logika deduktif.

Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa ada kemunduran KPK dalam mewujudkan independensi pegawainya dalam cerminan Lembaga negara independen berdasarkan teori dan prinsip good governance dan pemisahan kekuasaan. Atas perubahan UU 30 Tahun 2002 oleh UU No. 19 Tahun 2019 menyebabkan berubahnya status pegawai KPK menjadi aparatur sipil negara dan masuknya KPK pada rumpun kekuasaan eksekutif. Hal ini menyebabkan KPK dapat diintervensi oleh kekuasaan lain dalam mengatur dan mengelola manajemen sumber daya manusia-nya karena pengelolaannya di-regulasikan dengan peraturan perundang-undangan terkait ASN. KPK dapat melihat ICAC Hongkong sebagai contoh lembaga  yang bentuk dan postur kepegawaiannya bersifat independen. MACC Malaysia dapat menjadi pembelajar bagaimana kekuasaan eksekutif dapat memengaruhi independensi pegawai dan kelembagaannya. Untuk membangun hukum ideal kepegawaian KPK membutuhkan political will dari DPR dan MPR untuk mengembalikan KPK pada bentuk idealnya.
