RESUMO

At the end of 2022, the adjustment of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic control policy in China resulted in a large-scale increase in public infection. To compare the fertility parameters of male patients before and after the adjustments of the COVID-19 pandemic control policy in China, we collected data on patients' medical histories and laboratory examinations on their first visits between June 2022 and March 2023 in five different hospitals. Data were divided into five groups according to the timeline of the policy adjustment. The data we collected from male patients included semen quality and serum reproductive hormone levels, and intergroup comparisons were made using the Mann-Whitney U and Chi-square tests. In total, 16 784 cases underwent regular semen analysis, 11 180 had sperm morphology assessments, and 7200 had reproductive hormone analyses. The data showed declining trends in semen volume, sperm motility, and the progressive sperm motility rate after the policy adjustment. Subgroup comparison revealed an initial decrease and gradual recovery in progressive motility rate. Sperm morphology analysis showed increased neck and tail abnormalities after the policy adjustment. No significant change in hormone levels was observed. Following the adjustment of the COVID-19 prevention policy in China, a decline in sperm motility and morphology was observed. This trend may gradually recover over 2 months. After the policy adjustment, reproductive hormone levels were relatively stable throughout, except for an increase in luteinizing hormone (LH). These changes in semen parameters suggest that the policy adjustment had a short- to medium-term impact on male reproductive function.

RESUMO

Numerous studies have demonstrated the association between senescence and cancer. However, the molecular mechanism regulating senescence in ovarian cancer remains unknown. In the present study, the protein expression level of calbindin 1 (CALB1) in ovarian cancer was examined using western blot and immunohistochemistry. The function of CALB1 in ovarian cancer cells was examined using MTT assay, anchorage­independent growth assay and senescence assay. The molecular mechanisms underlying CALB1 function were investigated using immunoprecipitation and pull­down assays. In the present study, the expression of CALB1 was found to be increased in ovarian cancer. Overexpression of CALB1 promoted the proliferation and colony formation of ovarian cancer cells and inhibited senescence by modulating the expression levels of p21 and p27. Knockdown of CALB1 inhibited the proliferation and colony formation of ovarian cancer cells. Mechanistically, co­immunoprecipitation assays revealed that CALB1 interacts with MDM2 proto­oncogene (MDM2) and promoted the interaction between p53 and MDM2. Collectively, the present study suggested that CALB1 may act as an oncogene in ovarian cancer by inhibiting the p53 pathway.
