Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate whether the site of the balloon placement into either the uterine cavity or cervical canal can affect the intensity of pain during sonohysterography. METHODS In this randomized clinical trial, women who underwent saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) were randomized to intracervical or intrauterine balloon placement between May 2012 and May 2014. The examination was scheduled at the early follicular phase of the menstrual cycle. The primary outcome measures included the degree of pain after inflation and then after deflation of the balloon catheter. Data were analyzed on the basis of the intention-to-treat principle for each woman who underwent SIS. RESULTS A total of 300 infertile women were assigned to the treatment groups. There were no significant differences in inflation and deflation pain and the total procedure time between the 2 groups. The total volume of required saline for adequate distention of the cavity was significantly lower in the cervical group than the intrauterine group (p = .015). Nulliparous women had insignificantly more pain after the initial inflation of the balloon compared with multiparous women (p = .069). The pain score was not associated with patients' age, the volume of the saline infused, the presence of intrauterine abnormality, and the procedure time. CONCLUSIONS Intracervical catheter placement did not reduce pain during or after SIS. However, intracervical balloon insertion requires a less-significant volume of saline compared with intrauterine placement, leading to a reduced risk of intrauterine infection and the spread of malignant endometrial cells into the peritoneal cavity at the time of the procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinically, acute kidney injury (AKI) is a potentially devastating condition for which no specific therapy improves efficacy of the repair process. Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) are proven to be beneficial for the renal repair process after AKI in different experimental rodent models, but their efficacy in large animals and humans remains unknown. This study aims to assess the effect of autologous rhesus Macaque mulatta monkey BM-MSC transplantation in cisplatin-induced AKI. METHODS We chose a model of AKI induced by intravenous administration of 5 mg/kg cisplatin. BM-MSCs were transplanted through intra-arterial injection. The animals were followed for survival, biochemistry analysis and pathology. RESULTS Transplantation of 5 × 10(6) cells/kg ameliorated renal function during the first week, as shown by significantly lower serum creatinine and urea values and higher urine creatinine and urea clearance without hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, proteinuria and polyuria up to 84 d compared with the vehicle and control groups. The superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle-labeled cells were found in both the glomeruli and tubules. BM-MSCs markedly accelerated Foxp3+ T-regulatory cells in response to cisplatin-induced damage, as revealed by higher numbers of Foxp3+ cells within the tubuli of these monkeys compared with cisplatin-treated monkeys in the control and vehicle groups. CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate that BM-MSCs in this unique large-animal model of cisplatin-induced AKI exhibited recovery and protective properties.

Abstract
One of the challenges in ovarian transplantation is ischemia-reperfusion damage. When transitional tissue faces an acute and critical condition in terms of blood supply (immediately after organ transplantation), treatment with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) seems to be very beneficial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of ultrasound therapy on heterotopic transplanted mouse ovarian tissue. Adult female Naval Medical Research Institute mice were divided into three groups. In the experimental groups, the transplanted ovary was exposed 5 min daily to ultrasound with an intensity of 0.3 W/cm(2), frequency of 3 MHz and pulse mode of 1:4. The grafted ovaries were assessed with the usual histology and immunohistochemistry techniques. Results indicate that more CD31 angiogenic factor was expressed in irradiated animals than in control animals, and ultrasound therapy resulted in better follicular preservation, especially after 14 d. In conclusion, therapeutic ultrasound may accelerate and increase re-angiogenesis and can help to promote ovarian follicular growth.

Abstract
Destruction of the endometrium due to trauma to the basal layer of endometrium may cause intra uterine adhesions, known as Asherman's syndrome (AS). There are various types of imaging method for diagnosis of the intra uterine adhesion such as hysterosalpingography, sonohysterography, ultrasonography, and hysteroscopy which is considered as the gold standard approach. Hysterosalpingogram may suggest the presence of intrauterine adhesions, and may reveal the extent of the scar formation. Knowing different images in each technique is helpful in detection of intra uterine adhesion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate diagnosis of uterine abnormalities has become a core part of the fertility work-up. A variety of modalities can be used for the diagnosis of uterine abnormalities. OBJECTIVES This study was designed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) in uterine pathologies of infertile patients using hysteroscopy as the gold standard. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional study carried out in the Department of Reproductive Imaging at Royan Institute from October 2007 to October 2008. In this study, the medical documents of 719 infertile women who were investigated with transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and then hysteroscopy were reviewed. All women underwent hysteroscopy in the same cycle time after TVS. Seventy-six out of 719 patients were excluded from the study and 643 patients were studied. TVS was performed in the follicular phase after cessation of bleeding. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated for TVS. Hysteroscopy served as the gold standard. RESULTS The overall sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values for TVS in the diagnosis of uterine abnormality was 79%, 82%, 84% and 71%, respectively. The sensitivity and PPV of TVS in detection of polyp were 88.3% and 81.6%, respectively. These indices were 89.2% and 92.5%, respectively for fibroma, 67% and 98.3%, respectively for subseptated uterus and 90.9% and 100%, respectively for septated uterus. Adhesion and unicornuated uterus have the lowest sensitivity with a sensitivity of 35% and PPV of 57.1%. CONCLUSION TVS is a cost-effective and non-invasive method for diagnosis of intrauterine lesions such as polyps, submucosal fibroids and septum. It is a valuable adjunctive to hysteroscopy with high accuracy for identification and characterization of intrauterine abnormalities. This may lead to a more precise surgery plan and performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early clinical studies have suggested that administration of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) may improve the clinical condition of patients suffering from myocardial infarction (MI).This prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single-centre trial aims to assess the safety and clinical efficacy of G-CSF administration in patients with subacute MI and impaired LV function undergoing delayed primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS A total of 16 patients (13 men, mean age 51 years) with subacute ST-segment elevation MI and a left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) of less than 45% at baseline who underwent late revascularization, were included in the study. Patients were randomized in a double-blind fashion to receive either G-CSF (at a dose of 10 microg/kg body weight) or placebo for five consecutive days. End points consisted of assessment of safety parameters as well as changes of global and regional myocardial function from baseline until six months following PCI. RESULTS G-CSF administration resulted in a significant mobilization of different cell populations (four-fold increase in WBC count and a six-fold increase in CD34+ cells). G-CSF treatment was well tolerated in most patients and no major adverse cardiac events or severe G-CSF-related side effects were identified during hospitalization and at follow-up. No significant differences were observed between the G-CSF and placebo groups regarding global and regional myocardial function parameters. CONCLUSION G-CSF administration is safe, but not effective, in improving impaired LV functional parameters in patients with subacute MI who had an impaired baseline EF of less than 45%.

Abstract
Complex Chromosomal Rearrangements (CCRs) are rare structural abnormalities that are usually associated with infertility or subfertility in male carriers. We described clinical and chromosomal features of a non-obstructive azoospermic male that has been referred for infertility. Cytogenetic analysis showed three chromosomes, i.e. 3, 8 and 16, which have been involved and caused spermatogenesis failure.
