    (Informa Healthcare, 2012) Cavkaytar, Sabri; Batioglu, Sertac; Gunel, Mufit; Ceylaner, Serdar; Karaer, Abdullah
    Objective: To determine the frequency, types of chromosomal abnormalities and Y chromosome microdeletions in patients with severe male factor infertility, and the association between clinical background and genetic abnormality. Study design: A total of 322 infertile men; 136 men with severe oligozoospermia (sperm count <5 million/ml) and 196 with nonobstructive azoospermia were studied between April 2004 and November 2006 at the Dr. Zekai Tahir Burak Women's Health Education and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey. Blood, semen samples, and testicular biopsies of patients were obtained. Hormonal analysis (follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and testosterone levels), semen analysis, karyotype analysis, and PCR screening for Y chromosome microdeletions were performed. Result(s): Forty-eight out of 332 (14%) infertile men had a genetic abnormality. Twenty-four (7.2%) cases with karyotype abnormality were detected. The frequencies of karyotype abnormalities were Klinefelter's syndrome 17/24 (71%), translocation 3/24 (12%), mix gonadal dysgenesis 2/24 (8%), XX male 1/24 (4%), and 46XYY 1/24 (4%). Twenty cases (6%) infertile men had only Y chromosome microdeletions. The frequencies of the deleted areas were azoospermia factor (AZF) c 42%, AZFb 25%, AZFa 21%, AZFb, c 8%, and AZFa, c 4%. Four of the cases with Y chromosome microdeletions also had a concurrent karyotype abnormality. Conclusion(s): All patients with nonobstructive azoospermia and severe oligozoospermia (sperm count <5 million/ml) should undergo genetic screening.

    Serological investigation of the role of selected sexually transmitted infections in the aetiology of ectopic pregnancy
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2013) Karaer, Abdullah; Mert, Ismail; Cavkaytar, Sabri; Batioglu, Sertac
    Objectives To investigate the association between selected sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and the later occurrence of ectopic pregnancy. Methods A total of 125 women with ectopic pregnancy and 125 pregnant controls were recruited between January 2003 and February 2005 at Dr. Zekai Tahir Burak Women's Health Education and Research Hospital, in Ankara, Turkey. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the prevalence of serum antibodies to Chlamydia (C.) trachomatis and to Herpes simplex virus (HSV)-2 IgG and, indirect immunofluorescence test was used to determine the prevalence of serum antibodies to Mycoplasma (M.) hominis and Ureaplasma (U.) urealyticum. Results The prevalence of C. trachomatis Ig G antibody in women with ectopic pregnancy (31/125; 25%) was significantly higher than in controls (12/125; 9.6%) (crude Odds Ratio [OR]: 3.1, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.51-6.38; p = 0.001). However, there was no significant association between C. trachomatis IgM; M. hominis IgG, IgM; U. urealyticum IgG, IGM; and HSV-2 IgG, and ectopic pregnancy. Conclusions Previous chlamydial infection plays an important role in the aetiology of ectopic pregnancy. There was no association between M. hominis, U. urealyticum and HSV-2 infections, and ectopic pregnancy.
