Specimens of semen from fertile and infertile patients were exposed to different electromagnetic radiations, including visible light, ultraviolet (UV) light, x-rays, and high-frequency radio waves. Sperm motility was analyzed before, during, and after irradiation by the multiple exposure photography (MEP) method. No significant difference was found between controls and specimens exposed to various doses of visible and UV light and x-rays either immediately or several hours after exposure. In contrast to spermatozoa of other species that were reported to be adversely affected by visible and UV light and x-rays, human spermatozoa seem to be highly resistant to similar doses of these radiations. A deleterious influence was observed when high-frequency radio waves were applied to human spermatozoa. This may be attributed to an intracellular diathermic effect. The informative value of this study in relation to routine semen analyses and experimental studies in the physiology and comparative anatomy of spermatozoa is discussed.
将来自可育和不育患者的精液样本暴露于不同的电磁辐射下，包括可见光、紫外线（UV）、X射线和高频无线电波。通过多次曝光摄影（MEP）方法在照射前、照射期间和照射后分析精子活力。在对照样本与暴露于不同剂量可见光、紫外线和X射线的样本之间，无论是在照射后立即还是数小时后，均未发现显著差异。与据报道受可见光、紫外线和X射线不利影响的其他物种的精子不同，人类精子似乎对这些辐射的类似剂量具有高度抗性。当将高频无线电波应用于人类精子时，观察到了有害影响。这可能归因于细胞内热效应。讨论了本研究对于常规精液分析以及精子生理学和比较解剖学实验研究的参考价值。
