Objectives: We explored the safety of Tadalafil once-daily treatment for 12 week and its effects on semen quality in a clinical subpopulation of men with psychogenic erectile dysfunction (ED). Patients and Methods: Twenty-seven men, between 19 and 35 years, unaware of their fertility status, suffering from psychogenic ED were enrolled. The examination of the seminal fluid was performed twice before administration of Tadalafil and twice after three months of continuous daily administration of Tadalafil 5 mg. The volume of the seminal fluid, the concentration of sperm, the concentration of sperm with type “a+b” motility, the concentration of sperm with type “a” motility, the concentration of normal sperm were taken into consideration. The results before treatment with Tadalafil (T0) and after 3 months of treatment (T3m) were compared. Results: The administration of once-daily Tadalafil 5mg, brings to an average increase of the total number of sperm cells, both total and fast motility (type a) and the percentage of nemasperms, and to an average increase of semen volume of only 0.41 ml. These quantitative and qualitative improvements of the seminal fluid resulted statistically significant as regard motility, nemasperm percentage and seminal fluid volume. No unespected safety findings were observed. Conclusions: Tadalafil administration improves the quality of sperm cells and seminal fluid: in particular motility, percentage of nemasperms and volume of seminal fluid. We emphasize the safety of the once-daily treatment with tadalafil 5mg and the positive effects on spermatogenesis.

The cryopreservation process might reduce the quality of spermatozoa due to an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) compounds during cooling, freezing, and thawing. The quality of spermatozoa can be maintained by adding glutathione as an exogenous antioxidant into cryo-diluent. This study aimed to examine the effect of the addition of different doses of glutathione in cryopreservation of Aceh Local catfish (Clarias gariepinus) spermatozoa after freezing. The method used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and four replications. Fresh semen was diluted in Ringer, 15% DMSO, and 20% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and then added with glutathione antioxidants of 0.0 mgL-1, 0.5 mgL-1, 1.0 mgL-1, and 2.0 mgL-1. The parameters observed in this study were motility, integrity of the plasma membrane, fertility, and DNA integrity. The results showed that the concentration of glutathione had no effect on motility, integrity ofthe plasma membrane, or fertility, but had an effect on DNA integrity. The highest percentage of motility and plasma membrane integrity respectively was 40.50% (P3) and 70.87% (P2). Furthermore, the assessment of DNA integrity showed that there was no DNA fragmentation both treatments and fresh spermatozoa. This research is the first study regarding glutathione supplementation in cryo-diluent of Aceh Local catfish spermatozoa. Finally, the results obtained can provide information about the exact concentration of glutathione in the extender on the quality of spermatozoa of Aceh Local catfish (C. gariepinus) after the cryopreservation process. These results can also increase the success of fertility be used by the seed hall unit and the aquaculture industry to increase the productivity and supply high quality seeds.

Animal feed should ideally be inexpensive and not competing with humans. Ampas know is a waste of the manufacture of tofu that contains protein and high energy. Its use has problems due to the existence of antinutrient and cannot be kept long. Lactobacillus Plantarum is a lactic acid (Gram-positive) bacteria used in the fermentation process to improve the quality of feed. The goal of fermentation is to remove the anti-nutrients that exist in the tofu pulp and increase the content of Isoflavone (Daidzin, Glycitein, and Genistein) and Isoflavone is a source of antioxidants important to growth. The study uses a Completely Randomized Design with 5 treatment of microbial culture concentrations of 1%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% (V/w), respectively repeated 3 times. The result of analyzes in the pulp of tofu fermentation suggests that fermentation by Lactobacillus Plantarum can increase the content of Daidzein, Glycitein, and genistein with the highest value resulting from the use of L. Plantarum 20% respectively 191.21 + 24.9 μg/g, 85.96 μg/g, and 120.82 μg/g. It can be concluded that the higher the use of the concentration of L. Plantarum in tofu pulp can increase the levels of isoflavone, so it is advisable to conduct research with the concentration of L. Plantarum higher in tofu pulp

Stallions affected by seminal vesiculitis present history of infertility or subfertility, ejaculatory disturbance, spread of sexually transmitted pathogens, and changes in semen characteristics, leading to reduced semen quality and longevity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the semen quality of stallions with seminal vesiculitis before and after local treatment. Five stallions with a mean age of 12.4 years diagnosed with seminal vesiculitis were used. The identification of the microorganism involved in the pathogenesis of seminal vesiculitis of each animal was performed by bacterial culture of the seminal vesicles flush with Ringer Lactate solution, performed in duplicate at 1-week intervals. After identification of bacteria was performed, there was susceptibility testing to antibiotic (antibiogram) and the appropriate antibiotic was chosen. The local treatment was performed by endoscopy for 10 consecutive days, and this consisted of flushing with Ringer Lactate solution, followed by infusion of the antibiotic selected. The semen analyses were performed before starting the local treatment for seminal vesiculitis (M0), after a week (M1), and after a month (M2) of therapy. Sperm kinetics were performed by computerized method – CASA for the following parameters: percentage of sperm with total motility, progressive motility, and rapid sperm. Analysis of plasma membrane integrity was performed by epi-fluorescence microscopy, using the combination of fluorescent probes carboxyfluorescein diacetate and propidium iodide. Percentage of leukocytes was assessed through evaluation in light optical microscopy of semen smears stained with DiffQuick. The content of nitric oxide (NO) was determined by colourimetric Griess reaction by a spectrophotometer through the concentrations of nitrate (NO3–) and nitrite (NO2–). To perform the count of colony forming units per millilitre (CFU mL–1), an aliquot of 0.1 mL of semen was diluted in 9.9 mL of saline. A 0.1-mL aliquot of this sample was plated on Mueller-Hinton agar. The seeded plates were incubated, and the bacterial colonies were counted after 24 h. According to the performed dilution, total colonies identified corresponds to ×10 000 CFU mL–1. The data were analysed by two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's test (P < 0.05). The values (mean ± standard error) of seminal parameters on M0, M1, and M2 were the following, respectively: sperm kinetics (total motility: 46.5 ± 5.13a; 75.1 ± 3.42b; 42.8 ± 5.28a; progressive motility: 19.3 ± 3.86a; 33.4 ± 2.39b; 16.5 ± 2.40a; rapid sperm: 22.2 ± 1.82a; 52.2 ± 5.65b; 22.1 ± 2.62a); plasma membrane integrity (47.5 ± 4.65a; 62.9 ± 5.41b; 39.1 ± 4.32a); percentage of leukocytes (35.2 ± 2.36a; 15.1 ± 2.55b; 36.1 ± 4.04a); CFU (119 980 × 103 ± 19 528.0 × 103a; 5375 × 103 ± 2453.7 × 103b; 65 850 × 103 ± 19 701.0 × 103ab) on fresh semen; and NO content (0.645 ± 0.172a, 0.117 ± 0.023b, 0.364 ± 0.110ab) on seminal plasma. The results demonstrate that local treatment after a week leads to an improvement in sperm quality; however, this was not maintained after 1 month of therapy, since the seminal parameters at this time are similar to pretreatment, which can be justified by recurrent disease.
