The influence of processed total non-forward and non-motile sperm count on the outcome of artificial insemination with the husband’s semen

BackgroundArtificial insemination with the husband’s semen (AIH) is an economical and noninvasive method of infertility treatment. However, AIH’s pregnancy rate is much lower than in vitro fertilization (IVF) as its multiple and complex uncertainty factors. Semen quality has been one of the main factors which affect the pregnancy outcome of AIH.MethodsThe relevant parameters of 1,142 AIH cycles were retrospectively studied, including the general parameters and the semen quality parameters among clinical pregnancy, biochemical pregnancy, non-pregnancy group, age, infertility duration, infertility type, body mass index (BMI), cycle count, morphology in previously semen examination, and semen quality parameters on the day of AIH.ResultsThe statistically significant difference was only found on processed total non-forward and non-motile sperm count (N-TFMSC). The mean processed N-TFMSC in the biochemical pregnancy group was 6.37±4.27 million, significantly higher than the other two groups (vs. 4.40±3.15 million or vs. 4.48±3.60 million, P<0.05). The study was then divided into two groups according to processed N-TFMSC, Group 1 ≤5.0 million, and Group 2 >5.0 million. A statistical increase in biochemical pregnancy rate was observed when the processed N-TFMSC was >5.0 million (2.72% vs. 0.90%).ConclusionsProcessed N-TFMSC may be one of the independent factors on AIH’s outcome; it should be given equal attention the same as processed total forward motile sperm count (TFMSC).

Intrauterine fetal death

Sadly, intrauterine fetal death is a common occurrence and one that all labour ward personnel should be trained to manage. Recent advances have improved the likelihood of identifying a cause. The key to this is a logical and methodical approach to investigation. Postmortem examination remains a critical aspect of investigation and labour ward teams require a clear understanding of the legal aspects of this. Sympathetic and supportive care of parents should respect parental wishes and allow choice wherever possible. However, maternal safety should also be a central aspect of this care.     

Prognostic value of an automated sperm analysis in IVF or insemination therapy

Summary. During the course of sterility treatment semenograms of 271 IVF and 316 insemination patients were carried out by two automated semen analysers. The parameters of these analyses were correlated to pregnancies resulting from the treatment. Semen samples were analysed in the ejaculate and after swim-up preparation. In addition, the swim-up suspension of IVF patients was measured again 18 h after sperm preparation. Patients were divided into three groups: (1) couples who achieved a pregnancy, (2) couples who did not achieve a pregnancy, and (3) IVF patients with no fertilization of the oocytes. Because of large standard deviations in the quality of ejaculates, the results in the IVF group show no significant differences in the semen parameters of husbands of pregnant and non-pregnant women. In contrast husbands of women with no fertilization have a significantly lower sperm motility. After swim-up preparation these differences no longer occur. A further measurement, taken 18 h later, reveals that there are no differences in the sperm parameters between the pregnant and non-pregnant group. However, the semen quality in the group with no fertilization is significantly reduced. The results of the insemination patients are similar to those of the IVF group. Thus, the results from automated sperm analysers cannot replace either the microscopic or biochemical analysis of an ejaculate and, moreover, cannot be used as prognosis for the fertilization capacity of sperms or a following pregnancy.     

A Mono-Percoll separation technique improves sperm recovery of normal and male factor specimens when compared with the swim-up technique

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of asimplified 80% Mono-Percoll sperm separation procedure on bothnormal and male factor semen samples compared with the standardswim-up technique. The parameters examined include sperm concentration,motility and morphology, total motile functional spermatozoaand percentage recovery. Normal patients demonstrated enhancedsperm parameters with the Mono-Percoll compared with the swim-uptechnique for concentration (67x10⁶ versus 42x10⁶/ml, P <0.001), motility (66 versus 59%, P < 0.001), morphology (56versus 49%, P < 0.005) and percentage recovery (60 versus42%, P < 0.005). Male factor patients showed enhanced spermparameters with the Mono-Percoll procedure compared with theswim-up technique for motility (53 versus 42%, P < 0.05)and percentage recovery (54 versus 29%, P < 0.005), withno significant difference in concentration and morphology. Insummary, the Mono-Percoll sperm recovery procedure is significantlybetter than the swim-up technique for male factor patients andpatients with normal sperm parameters.     

不同分娩方式妇女放置三种IUD的术时评价

目的:研究不同分娩方式妇女放置三种新型含铜宫内节育器(CulUD)的术时评价。方法:将观察对象按经阴道和经剖宫产的不同分娩方式分为两组,每组均随机放置CyneFix IN IUD、MCu功能性IUD和TCu380A IUD,记录两组放置不同种IUD的扩宫情况、置器疼痛反应和置器时间。结果:放置GyneFix IN IUD和TCu380A IUD在不同分娩方式组中扩宫率、痛觉评分、置器时间无显著差异(P>0.05)。放置MCu功能性IUD在剖宫产分娩组扩宫率为92.5％,显著高于阴道分娩组的33.3％(P<0.05);痛觉评分为8.62±0.82分,显著高于阴道分娩组(P<0.01);置器时间为(9.62±3.15)min,较另两种IUD置器时间显著延长(P<0.05)。结论:GyneFix IN IUD和TCu380A IUD置器术时扩宫率低、费时少,疼痛反应轻,不受分娩方式影响。
