A system for determination of sperm penetration into cervical mucus in a glass capillary tube is described. Repeated counts are made of the number of sperm at fixed horizontal distances from the semen reservoir. The yields indices for total numbers of spermatozoa entering the mucus per unit time and the rate migration of the sperm through the mucus. It was found that the rate of entry was sensitive to changes in motility such as those induced by caffeine, and differences in cervical mucus quality. The system allowed quantitation of these differences.
描述了一种用于测定玻璃毛细管中精子穿透宫颈黏液的系统。对距精液储存器固定水平距离处的精子数量进行重复计数。得出了每单位时间进入黏液的精子总数的产量指数以及精子穿过黏液的迁移速率。发现进入速率对诸如咖啡因诱导的活力变化以及宫颈黏液质量差异敏感。该系统能够对这些差异进行定量分析。
