Efficiency of hyaluronic acid (HA) sperm selection

ASSISTED REPRODUCTION Efficiency of hyaluronic acid (HA) sperm selection

Purpose Hyaluronic Acid (HA) has a role as “physiologic selector” for spermatozoa prior to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The objective of this study is to analyze the results achievable by the introduction of a routine HA-ICSI programme. Methods We retrospectively observed 293 couples treated with HA-ICSI versus 86 couples treated with conventional PVP-ICSI (historical control group)...

Serum Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and Soluble Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-

Schistosomiasis mansoni is a chronic liver disease that is endemic in rural areas of Egypt. Some patients may acquire infection and develop minimal complications, while others may develop severe complications and progress to portal hypertension and cirrhosis, especially if coinfected with viral hepatitis [1,2]. Egypt has the highest worldwide prevalence for the concomitant infection of schistos...

Application of Sperm Selection Using Hyaluronic Acid Binding in Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Cycles: A Sibling Oocyte Study

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether sperm selection by hyaluronic acid (HA) binding could improve fertilization rate and embryo quality in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. Two hundred nineteen oocytes obtained from eighteen women were injected with either HA-bound (n = 107) or conventionally selected spermatozoa (n = 112) in a randomized way. All of the participa...

Effect of molecular weight of hyaluronic acid (HA) on viscoelasticity and particle texturing feel of HA dermal biphasic fillers

BACKGROUND Hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal biphasic fillers are synthesized for their efficacy in correcting aesthetic defects such as wrinkles, scars and facial contouring defects. The fillers consist of crosslinked HA microspheres suspended in a noncrosslinked HA. To extend the duration of HAs within the dermis and obtain the particle texturing feel, HAs are crosslinked to obtain the suitable mec...
