| Abstract: | Objective To observe the histological and immunohistochemical changes caused by of Traditional Chinese Medicine--Mianbu Fang (Immunological Infertility Healing Mixture) in testis and epididymus of male mice with immunological infertility induced by antisperm antibody (AsAb ). Materials & Methods Models of mice with immunological infertility were used by in jection of mice sperm. These mice were treated with Mianbu Ⅰ , Mianbu Ⅱ or Pred nisone Acetates. The characteristics on histology and immunohistochemistry of mice were analyzed. Results High level of AsAb was detected in serum and seminal vesicle plasma of model mice after treatment. Immune compounds mostly deposited in limiting membrane of seminiferous tubules, spermatogonium and epithelia of epididymis ducts. The num ber of spermatogenic cells per convoluted seminiferous tubule decreased. However, the Chinese medicine could significantly reduce the level of As Ab, or even eliminate the an tibodies and clear out the immune compounds and increase the number of spermatogenic cells of seminiferous tubules. Conclusion Chinese Medicine Mianbu Ⅰ and Ⅱ can regulate, absorb and clear out cir culation and partial AsAb, as well as immunological compound. Hence, they can in crease the number of spermatogenic cells of seminiferous tubules and increase the preg nancy of mice. |
