abstract

background: it has been claimed that by using different washing methods, the sperms can be separated according to size, motility, density, chromosomal content and surface markings and charge. these methods also reduce sperm chromatin deficiencies and screen the sperms before applying in assisted reproduction techniques. objective: this study compared simple density gradient methods and a combined method with albumin density gradient and puresperm separation (alb/puresperm) for sex preselection by double fluorescence in situ hybridization (fish) versus chromomycin a3 staining to determine chromatin integrity. materials and methods: 30 normal semen samples were prepared with puresperm, albumin gradients and alb/puresperm. all samples were then stained by fish and chromomycin a3. the results were compared with spss 11.5 and the kruskal-wallis test. results: the proportion of x-bearing spermatozoa by puresperm separation (47.58±5.67) and y-bearing spermatozoa by albumin gradient (46.13±3.83) methods were slightly higher than in putative normal sperm samples (1:1), but there were no significant differences in the x- or y- bearing spermatozoa counts among the three methods. albumin gradient separation tended to underestimate abnormal spermatozoa compared to puresperm and combined alb/puresperm. conclusion: routine separation methods slightly enriched x- or y- bearing spermatozoa, but the differences were not significant for clinical purposes. the combined alb/puresperm method had no advantages for assessing sex ratio or chromatin integrity compared to simpler gradient methods.

Comparison of Sperm Telomere Length between Two Sperm Selection Procedures: Density Gradient Centrifugation and Zeta Potential

Background: Telomeres are particular sequences of DNA located at the end of the eukaryotic chromosomes that are essential for genome integrity. Telomere length in spermatozoa differs among males, as well as spermatozoa. Also, decreased telomere length in spermatozoa of infertile men is associated with the reduction of fertility potential and embryo quality. Density gradient centrifugation (DGC)...

can zeta sperm selection method, recover sperm with higher dna integrity compare to density gradient centrifugation?

background: sperm selection for icsi based on morphology and motility might not be relevant to chromatin integrity. thus sperm selection based on sperm characteristics has been suggested. objective: the aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of zeta method with routine density gradient centrifugation method (dgc) for the selection of sperm with higher dna integrity. materials and metho...

Effect of PolyVinyl Pyrrolidone on Sperm Membrane Integrity and Chromatin Status

Background The aim of present study is to evaluate the effect of PolyVinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP) routinly used during ICSI procedure on sperm membrane integrity, and sperm chromatin status. MaterialsAndMethods This study was carried out on 21 semen samples from the infertile men referring to Isfahan Fertility and Infertility Center. The processed semen samples were divided into two portions. One po...

effect of seed priming and irrigation regimes on yield,yield components and quality of safflowers cultivars

این مطالعه در سال 1386-87 در آزمایشگاه و مزرعه پژوهشی دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان به منظور تعیین مناسب ترین تیمار بذری و ارزیابی اثر پرایمینگ بر روی سه رقم گلرنگ تحت سه رژیم آبیاری انجام گرفت. برخی از مطالعات اثرات سودمند پرایمینگ بذر را بر روی گیاهان مختلف بررسی کرده اند اما در حال حاضر اطلاعات کمی در مورد خصوصیات مربوط به جوانه زنی، مراحل نموی، عملکرد و خصوصیات کمی و کیفی بذور تیمار شده ژنوتیپ های م...
