Studies with an intravas nylon device in rat

Q Jehan, B S Setty

    Andrologia
    |January 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    An intravas device (IVD) in rats showed no contraceptive effect, despite causing local tissue changes like spermatic granulomas. Sperm parameters and fertilizing ability remained unaffected by the IVD.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Biology
    • Urology
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Intravas devices (IVDs) are explored for male contraception.
    • Understanding the biological impact of IVDs is crucial for evaluating their efficacy and safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the contraceptive efficacy of a specific intravas device (IVD) in a rat model.
    • To assess the histological and biochemical changes induced by the IVD in the vas deferens, testis, and epididymis.

    Main Methods:

    • Rats were implanted with an IVD made of nylon suture for durations of 15 to 180 days.
    • Histological examination of reproductive organs was performed.
    • Biochemical analysis of vas deferens tissue (protein, sialic acid, phospholipid, glycogen, alkaline phosphatase) was conducted.

    Main Results:

    • The IVD did not occlude the vas deferens lumen, allowing sperm passage.
    • No significant histological changes were observed in the testis and epididymis.
    • Squamous epithelial replacement and spermatic granuloma formation occurred in the vas deferens, increasing with time.
    • Vasal biochemical alterations (increased protein, sialic acid, phospholipid; decreased glycogen, alkaline phosphatase) were noted, with some returning to normal levels over time.
    • Spermatozoal number, morphology, motility, and fertilizing ability were not affected.

    Conclusions:

    • The tested intravas device demonstrated no contraceptive efficacy in rats.
    • Local tissue reactions, including spermatic granulomas, occurred but did not compromise sperm quality or function.
    • Further research may be needed to develop IVDs with improved occlusion and contraceptive potential.
