INTERESTING FACTS
1. Males are said to be sterile when they fail to produce viable sperms.
2. Azospermia refers to the failure of spermatogenesis.
3. Enlargement of prostate gland is called prostatitis and can lead to difficulty in urination.
4. Castration or surgical removal of testis is known as orchidectomy
5. Spermarche is the first ejaculation of the semen.
Arunachalam Muruganantham
Inventor And Social Entrepreneur
Arunachalam Muruganantham is the man behind the world’s first low cost sanitary napkin
making machine. His mission was to provide sanitary napkins at minimal cost to poor
women across the country, especially in rural areas. The journey began when he was shocked
by the fact that women in India including his wife often used things such as old rags, leaves
and even ash during menstruation. Approximately 70 percent of all reproductive diseases
in India are caused by poor menstrual hygiene. 23 percent of girls drop out of schools once
they attain puberty. He wished to make a social impact by creating more livelihoods and
improving the menstrual hygiene of rural women.
Arunachalam initiated his research in 1999 and almost after 5 years, successfully created
a low cost machine for the production of sanitary napkins. He presented his prototype
to IIT, Madras for a national innovation competition in 2006 and out of 943 entries, his
machine stood first. Arunachalam made 250 machines in 18 months and set out to states in
Northern India namely Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
Arunachalam Muruganantham was named one of the Time Magazine’s 100 most
influential people in 2014. He was awarded the Padma Shri in 2016.

The first clinical gene therapy was given in 1990 by French Anderson to a four year
old girl with adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency. ADA deficiency or SCID (Severe
combined immunodeficiency) is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder. It is caused
by the deletion or dysfunction of the gene coding for ADA enzyme. In these patients the
nonfunctioning T-Lymphocytes cannot elicit immune responses against invading pathogens.
The right approach for SCID treatment would be to give the patient a functioning ADA
which breaks down toxic biological products.
In some children ADA deficiency could be cured by bone marrow transplantation,
where defective immune cells could be replaced with healthy immune cells from a donor. In
some patients it can be treated by enzyme replacement therapy, in which functional ADA is
injected into the patient.
During gene therapy the lymphocytes from the blood of the patient are removed and
grown in a nutrient culture medium. A healthy and functional human gene, ADA cDNA
encoding this enzyme is introduced into the lymphocytes using a retrovirus. The genetically
engineered lymphocytes are subsequently returned to the patient. Since these cells are not
immortal, the patient requires periodic infusion of such genetically engineered lymphocytes.
The disease could be cured permanently if the gene for ADA isolated from bone marrow cells
are introduced into the cells of the early embryonic stages.
