To examine whether sperm motility and morphology correlate with ability to undergo the acrosome reaction in vitro.
Sixty-one seminal specimens were separated on a discontinuous Percoll gradient (70%, 40%). Percentages of motile and morphologically normal sperm, their motility grade, and percentages of acrosome-reacted sperm before and following acrosome reaction inducing treatment were estimated.
Percentage of motile sperm from normozoospermic specimens increased from whole semen (47.6 +/- 5.6) to sediments (59.6 +/- 13.0). Motility grade exhibited a similar trend (2.1 +/- 0.5 and 3.6 +/- 0.5-scale of 1-4). Percentage of morphologically normal sperm increased from semen (27.3 +/- 10.9) to sediment (53.8 +/- 14.8). All differences were statistically significant, (P < 0.00). In abnormal semen the motility grade and percentage of morphologically normal sperm also increased from semen to sediment (1.9 +/- 0.4 to 3.2 +/- 0.8 and 17.7 +/- 7.8 to 37.1 +/- 15.4 respectively, (P < 0.001). Percentages of motile sperm were similar. In normozoospermic sediments, both non-treated or treated to induce the acrosome reaction, proportions of acrosome-reacted sperm were significantly higher than in semen (18.3 +/- 6.9% and 20.0 +/- 6.5% vs. 6.8 +/- 4.2% respectively, P < 0.001). A similar trend was obtained using abnormal aliquots; however, the acrosome-reacted sperm accounted for only 9.0 +/- 5.1% and 10.8 +/- 4.3% versus 5.4 +/- 2.8% (P < 0.025).
Morphology and motility of sperm were correlated with the proportion of acrosome-reacted sperm.
研究精子活力和形态与体外顶体反应能力是否相关。
61份精液标本在不连续的Percoll梯度(70%、40%)上进行分离。评估诱导顶体反应处理前后活动精子和形态正常精子的百分比、其活力等级以及顶体反应精子的百分比。
正常精子标本中活动精子的百分比从全精液中的(47.6±5.6)增加到沉淀物中的(59.6±13.0)。活力等级呈现类似趋势(分别为2.1±0.5和3.6±0.5——1 - 4级)。形态正常精子的百分比从精液中的(27.3±10.9)增加到沉淀物中的(53.8±14.8)。所有差异均具有统计学意义(P < 0.00)。在异常精液中,活力等级和形态正常精子的百分比也从精液增加到沉淀物(分别从1.9±0.4增加到3.2±0.8以及从17.7±7.8增加到37.1±15.4,P < 0.001)。活动精子的百分比相似。在正常精子沉淀物中,无论未处理还是经诱导顶体反应处理,顶体反应精子的比例均显著高于精液中的比例(分别为18.3±6.9%和20.0±6.5%对6.8±4.2%,P < 0.001)。使用异常样本也得到了类似趋势;然而,顶体反应精子仅占9.0±5.1%和10.8±4.3%,而精液中为5.4±2.8%(P < 0.025)。
