  Objective: Non-obstructive azoospermia(NOA),a severe form of male infertility,is often suspected to be linked to currently undefined genetic abnormalities.The objective of the study is to explore the genetic basis of this condition.Methods: We successfully sequenced~650 infertilityrelated genes in 757 NOA patients and 709 fertile males.We evaluated the contributions of rare variants to the etiology of NOA by identifying individual genes showing nominal associations and testing the genetic burden of a given biological process as a whole.Results: We found a significant excess of rare,non-silent variants in genes that are key epigenetic regulators of spermatogenesis,such as BRWD1,DNMT1,DNMT3B,RNF17,UBR2,USP1 and USP26,in NOA patients(P=5.5x10-7),corresponding to a carrier frequency of 22.5%of patients and 13.7%of controls(P=1.4×10-5).An accumulation of low-frequency variants was also identified in additional epigenetic genes(BRDT and MTHFR).Conclusions: Our study suggested the potential associations of genetic defects in genes that are epigenetic regulators with spermatogenic failure in human and proved the novel concept that some epigenetic regulators might be promising targets for the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility,as well as male contraception.

研究背景:医院的核心竞争力在于人才,对人的管理已成为护理管理者关注的焦点。目前,国内传统的护理人力资源管理大多只关注人员的基本知识和技能,将其将作为岗位设定、人才招聘、绩效考核和培训的基准,然而这些特质仅是达到工作绩效的前提,并不是取得高绩效的关键。因此探讨基于冰山能力素质模型的护理人力资源管理模式显得迫切需要。
儿童股骨头坏死可以出现在多种儿童疾病之中,常见的有Leeg-perthes 病、DDH 治疗后的头坏死、股骨头骨骺滑脱、股骨颈骨折和儿童股骨头骨骺骨髓炎等.许多学者提出了多种假设及理论,但确切的原因目前仍然不清.我们进行了儿童股骨头坏死的旋股内动脉的超选择血管造影,目的是了解股骨头的血供变化,及可能的发病机理.
