Intramuscular injection of increasing doses of Methotrexate Folateantagoniste (25, 50, 100, 150, 250, 300 mg/ kg) on Swiss strain males mice , resulted in decreasing Spermatogenesis at stage VII whereas higher doses had lethal effects. In fact doses of 25 and 50 mg per kg were tolerable by mice and the cytotoxic tolerance level decreased at higher doses (100 and 150 mg/kg). Acute cytotoxic effect was noted at doses of 200 mg/kg and resulted in destruction of cell line. Doses of 250 and 300 mg/kg had lethal effect and the mice died 1 week after injection. In conclusion Methotrexate had cytotoxic effects on sperm cell lines. 100mg/kg doses decreased spermatogenesis while 200 mg/kg doses caused greater side effects and higher doses were lethal to the mice 1 week after injection.

Increasing intramuscular doses of Methotrexate (25 mg / kg, 50 mg / kg, 100 mg / kg, 150 mg/ kg, 200 mg / kg, 250 mg / kg, 300 mg / kg) were tested on Swiss strain Mouse by intramuscular injection. The reproductive potency was evaluated by total s perm count and movement of the left testis and it's epididymis (15) days after injection. The weights of the latter of all tested animals were registered. The result indicate that Methotrexate, a Folate antagonist, is a negative factor for sperm production in a dose related manner. It was evident that the high doses (ex. Dose 200 mg / kg) lead to oligospermia. It was concluded that Methotrexate inhibits the reproductive potency during spermatogenesis and causes cytotoxicity in high doses. Further investigations are needed.
Increasing dose of Mithotrexate (25, 50, 100, 150, 200 mg/kg) were tested on Swiss strain mouse by one intramuscular injection, and their effects were studied (15) days later. The mean values of total spermatogonia and those of them undergoing mito tic division (in the metaphase) were evaluated in seminiferous tubular cross section, and the mitotic index (MI) of the spermatogonia was also calculated. Statistical analysis was performed by using IBM-Spss 19 program and for mean values comparison (one way ANOVA: post Hos Test, Multiple Comparison, and Tukey HSD) was used, while mitotic index was calculated by using Target Variable. Our results showed that Methotrexate injection didn’t lead to a significant decrease in spermatogonia mean values in the tested animals compared to the control, while it led to a dose dependent gradual decrease in the mean values of the spermatogonia undergoing mitotic division , and the greatest reduction was noticed in the two high doses: 150, 200, mg/kg (7.10±9.4, 3.65±2.15 respectively) compared to the control (37.40±2.26), and which led also to a severe reduction in the mitotic index (20.53%, 6.36% in the doses: 100, 200 mg/kg respectively) compared to the control (61.79%).
Mice embryos were irradiated in utero by gamma rays (٠،٢،٤،٦ Gy) at ١٠،١٢،١٤،١٦،١٨ days of gestation. Histological study was carried out on the first premandibular molar after ٢،٤،٦،٨ days of irradiation, to investigate the effect of irradiation on different stages of molar development.
Freezing sperms and eggs is one of the contemporary jurisprudential Issues. Therefore knowing its rules in Islamic jurisprudence requires searching for similar cases in the resources of Islamic Jurisprudence and practicing analogy where, in origina l case, used as a criterion for the new one. This paper is an endeavor to find out the jurisprudential stand of the cases where human sperms and eggs are frozen, and to which level this is compatible with Islamic shari’ah and its rules, particularly if fertilization is used for the husband and his wife (legal marriage), and if the aim of this process is to help the husband and the wife to give birth at the time they wish to, or at the time of elevating the preventive reason which was at the time of freezing. This paper concluded that the ruling of freezing the sperms and eggs is based on the reason which lead to that process; as there are reasons for which the freezing becomes lawful and there are ones for which the freezing becomes forbidden. This maxim in addition to some particular boundaries and conditions would rule the issue of freezing.
This study involved the irradiation of mouse embryos at different stages of pregnancy, using dose of ٤ Gy γ-radiation, at ١٠, ١٢, ١٤ and ١٦ days of pregnancy. Pregnant mice were killed after ٢, ٤ and ٦ days post irradiation. Embryo’s heads were is olated and serial cross sections were made to investigate the effect of irradiation on the different components of the eye at different periods of eye organogenesis. It was proved from this study that irradiation causes microphtalmia and decrease in the growth of lens, retina and corneal stroma, as well severe disruption in its development and disfigurement in its hitogenesis. These defects have shown great differences in their severity according to the age of embryos at exposure and the number of days post irradiation.
