The semen of 25 chronic alcoholics aged between 28 to 52 years was examined. The period of alcoholism amounted to 15 years the average being 12.3 years. In each person the semen was twice morphologically studied and the ultrastructure of spermatozoa was evaluated. Submicroscopic changes consisted mainly in the abnormal electron density of nuclear chromatin, altered structure of the acrosome and mitochondrial spiral, as well as in more rarely observed disturbed arrangement of fibrils of the axial filament complex. The hitherto non observed structure in human spermatozoon ön the form of single, annular, "whorls" were described. The interdependance between ultrastructural changes of spermatozoa and fertility was discussed.
对25名年龄在28至52岁之间的慢性酒精中毒者的精液进行了检查。酗酒时间长达15年，平均为12.3年。对每个人的精液进行了两次形态学研究，并评估了精子的超微结构。亚微观变化主要包括核染色质电子密度异常、顶体和线粒体螺旋结构改变，以及轴丝复合体纤维排列紊乱（较少见）。描述了人类精子中迄今未观察到的呈单个、环状“螺纹”形式的结构。讨论了精子超微结构变化与生育能力之间的相互关系。
