Information of Congress
Title of the Congress : Pharmaceutical Sciences World Congress 2014
Title of your Abstract : Impacts of Opioid addiction on male reproductive system; a randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) on 40 Rats
country : Australia
From : Sunday, April 13, 2014
To : Wednesday, April 16, 2014
Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Objective: To measure the effect of opioids and its derivatives morphine on male reproductive system of male rats. 
Methods: 40 male Wistar Rats were randomized into 5 equal groups which were exposed either with Morphine, Naloxane, Naloxane and Morphine, or Sham and one group was considered as control. Histological features and Spermatogenesis were assessed after 6 months exposure to the opioids based on measurement of spermatogonia, spermatocyte, spermatid, and sperm. Data were then analyzed to reveal the significance of the observed differences. 
Results: Among 5 groups of 8 rats in this study, the cell count was different for Spermatogonia, Spermatocytes, Spermatids, and Sperms as the mean number of these cells were the least among the subjects of the Morphine group followed by Morphine/ Naloxan and Naloxane group. This difference was more remarkable in Sham and control groups. In addition, the differences observed between the subjects were statistically significant (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Our study showed that Morphine and other opioid derivatives could reduce all the cellular populations in the process of spermatogenesis.

The Congress Reporting Form
How many volunteers were present at the Congress? : more than 900 people
Delegates from which countries presented in the congress? : Australia, USA, Canada, China, Egypt, South Africa, Japan
Were the delegates of any other organizations present in the congress? : Yes
If yes, please write the names of the organizations in the box : FIP
What were the responses to your talking points? Were specific questions or concerns raised? : Yes, Since the work I presented was on narcotic substances, the idea of looking at similar compounds was discussed. One of the idea that was suggested that we should look further on the mechanism of cellular responses and signal transduction pathways that are involved. In contrast to the human subjects, animal models are possible to be examined in a more direct and objective manner allowing for more robust and much more biological assessment of the underlying processes.
If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. : No
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : No follow up actions is required.This congress gave me some idea regarding my work. With this in mind, extensive amounts of evidences have supported the relationship between chronic exposures of adult male rodents to opiates with development of the future generation. Again no single study has elucidated the concise mechanism of this phenomenon yet. Even the histological changes of the reproductive system have not been investigated with an efficient amount of data. Our study hence aimed to evaluate the histological alterations and cellular generations in adult male rat testis under a chronic exposure to opioids and its derivative morphine to reveal the status of fertility on the paternity of this animal model
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : Getting Visa was the most difficut part of this process.
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : Sciences World Congress 2014 where the leading pharmaceutical scientists from across the globe meet to discuss the future: Where will the pharmaceutical sciences stand beyond 2020? What should be your focus? What will be the breakthroughs and the pitfalls? How can we meet the biggest challenges? 

Co-sponsored by many of the world’s leading pharmaceutical science and educational organisations, the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) .The PSWC 2014 conference will also foster the development of a new generation of visionary and ground-breaking pharmaceutical scientists via special activities for students.

By attend PSWC 2014 gave me the opportunity to Network with key leaders in pharmaceutical sciences from all over the world and Learn from leading experts on what will happen beyond 2020
and hearing high level speakers recount their latest research findings in plenaries, keynotes, workshops, debates, roundtables and unique regional showcases
and attend the parallel APSA (Australasian Pharmaceutical Science Association) and DDA (Drug Delivery Australia) congresses. Sciences World Congress 2014 is a congress that pharmacologist can share and discuss their work with eachother.
