These responses, in turn, may trigger aberrant tissue remodeling, eventually leading to the onset of respiratory diseases. Furthermore, changes of a panel of genes known to be disturbed in smokers with COPD were successfully reproduced in the ALI cultures exposed to CS. In summary, findings from this study suggest that such an integrative approach may be a useful tool for identifying genes and adverse cellular events caused by inhaled toxicants, like CS.

The therapeutic spectrum of male infertility has increased significantly in recent years so that even azoospermia patients can be given biological paternity by testicular sperm extraction (TESE). The indications, success rates, practical implementation, and possible complications of conventional and microscopic TESE in male infertility are presented in this review. Anonsystematic search of the relevant literature was carried out. In obstructive azoospermia (OA), primarily desobstructive surgical procedures are used, while TESE is the surgical procedure of choice in nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA). In the latter, sperm extraction can be performed conventionally or microscopically (mTESE) assisted, whereby the latter offers an advantage in terms of sperm detection rate in the case of small testicular volumes (<12 ml), chemotherapy, Klinefelter's disease and AZFc microdeletions. The sperm detection rate of TESE is about 50%. Postoperative controls are useful because of the possible induction of symptomatic hypogonadism. Before performing TESE, determining the hormone status and human genetic clarification are necessary. Any costs incurred and the possibility of missing sperm proof mu
