Generation of germ cells from pluripotent stem cells in mammals
- Pages: 107-114
- First Published: 10 December 2017

Mammalian PGC development in vivo and in vitro, have been studied primarily using the mouse model as a template to study PGCs specification in other mammals including humans, porcine and bovine.The growing body of published works reveal similarities as well as differences in PGCs establishment in and between mouse and human

Effectiveness of high-dose i.v. immunoglobulin therapy for pregnant women with aspirin–heparin-resistant secondary antiphospholipid syndrome
- Pages: 149-154
- First Published: 01 January 2018

High dose intravenous immunoglobulin (HIVIg) therapy (20 g/day, 5 days) was performed in eight pregnancies from five women with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) who had a history of pregnancy failure despite receiving low dose aspirin plus unfractionated heparin therapy. Five of the eight pregnancies ended in live birth. HIVIg therapy might be beneficial as an immune modifier for pregnant women with APS.

CASE REPORT
Microdissection testicular sperm extraction in five Japanese patients with non-mosaic Klinefelter's syndrome
- Pages: 209-216
- First Published: 08 March 2018

For non-mosaic Klinefelter syndrome with azoospermia, Micro-TESE is an effective sperm collection method.
In addition, in this study, we experienced a case with partial deletion of Azoospermia factor b in a nonmosaic Kleinfelter syndrome.
Even in Klinefelter's syndrome it is important to search for the Azoospermia factor microdeletion for prediction of sperm acquisition.
