To evaluate effects of cellular phone radiofrequency electromagnetic waves (RF-EMW) during talk mode on unprocessed (neat) ejaculated human semen.
Prospective pilot study.
Center for reproductive medicine laboratory in tertiary hospital setting.
Neat semen samples from normal healthy donors (n = 23) and infertile patients (n = 9).
INTERVENTION(S): After liquefaction, neat semen samples were divided into two aliquots. One aliquot (experimental) from each patient was exposed to cellular phone radiation (in talk mode) for 1 h, and the second aliquot (unexposed) served as the control sample under identical conditions.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Evaluation of sperm parameters (motility, viability), reactive oxygen species (ROS), total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of semen, ROS-TAC score, and sperm DNA damage.
RESULT(S): Samples exposed to RF-EMW showed a significant decrease in sperm motility and viability, increase in ROS level, and decrease in ROS-TAC score. Levels of TAC and DNA damage showed no significant differences from the unexposed group.
CONCLUSION(S): Radiofrequency electromagnetic waves emitted from cell phones may lead to oxidative stress in human semen. We speculate that keeping the cell phone in a trouser pocket in talk mode may negatively affect spermatozoa and impair male fertility.
评估手机在通话模式下发射的射频电磁波（RF - EMW）对未经处理的（纯）人类射出精液的影响。
前瞻性初步研究。
三级医院环境中的生殖医学实验室。
来自正常健康供体（n = 23）和不育患者（n = 9）的纯精液样本。
精液液化后，将纯精液样本分成两份。每位患者的一份样本（实验组）暴露于手机辐射（通话模式）1小时，另一份样本（未暴露）在相同条件下作为对照样本。
评估精子参数（活力、存活率）、活性氧（ROS）、精液的总抗氧化能力（TAC）、ROS - TAC评分以及精子DNA损伤。
暴露于RF - EMW的样本显示精子活力和存活率显著降低，ROS水平升高，ROS - TAC评分降低。TAC水平和DNA损伤与未暴露组相比无显著差异。
手机发射的射频电磁波可能导致人类精液中的氧化应激。我们推测，在通话模式下将手机放在裤兜里可能会对精子产生负面影响并损害男性生育能力。
