ABSTRACT

Objective To probe into the impact on sperm motility in male rat induced by fluorine poisoning, and provide experimental basis to further research for reproductive toxicity of fluoride. Methods According to bodyweight, 32 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group, the low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose group( 100,200,300 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1) NaF), and were treated by intragastric administration for 90 days, and the weight of the rats was observed each day. After the last intragastric administration, all rats were killed. The relative weight of liver, kidney and testis was calculated. Rat epididymides were plucked off and spermatozoa released from it. Sperm motility parameters were measured by WLJY-9000 color-detection system of sperm quality. Results Compared with high-dose group[(206.00 ± 18.16)g], the weight of low-dose and medium-dose group [ (235.00 ± 14.56), (235.44 ± 24.99)g] in 30 days were statistically significant increased(all P < 0.05) ; there were no significant differences between the groups in 60 days and in 90 days(F = 0.578,1.893, all P > 0.05). Comparison of organ coefficient of liver, kidney and testis among three groups showed no significant difference(F = 2.148,0.907, 1.801, all P > 0.05). The average path velocity(VAP) of the high-dose group[ (25.04 ± 4.59)μm/s] showed significant increase compared with control group[ (20.22 ± 3.29)μm/s] ; the straight line velocity(VSL) of the low- dose, medium-dose and high-dose group[ (18.82± 3.19), (17.84 ± 4.54), (16.46 ± 2.63)μm/s] showed significant increase compared with control group[ ( 12.48 ± 1.73 ) μm/s ] ; linearity (LIN) of the low-dese, medium-dose and high.dose group[(23.84±1.58)%,(24.99±3.37)%,(26.75±5.07)%]showed significant decrease compared with control group[(33.29±4.00)%];wobble(WOB)of the medium-dose and high-dose group[(47.03±3.98)%,(4921±723)%]showed significant increase compared with control group[(38.09±0.48)%];mean angular deviation (MAD)of the low-dose group[(68.29±5.71)radian/s]showed significant decrease compared with control group [(81.57±8.44)radian/s];beat cross frequency(BCF)ofthe high-dose group[(117±0.61)/s]showed significant increase compared with control group[(9.49±0.34)/s];sperm density(p)of the low-dose and medium-dose group [(1.26±0.24)×10~9/L,(1.84±0.50)×10~9/L]showed significant decrease compared with control group [(3.94±1.10)×10~9/L,all P<0.05].Comparison of the eurvilinearvelocity(VCL),straightness(STR),amplitude of lateral head displacement(ALH)among three groups showed no significant difference(F=0.264,2.209,1.667, all P>0.05).Conclusion Fluorine poisoning could change sperm motility parameters of the rat,reduce the sperm density and cau8e damage to the reproductive system.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the predictive value of umbilical cord serum (UCS) bilirubin for subsequent jaundice in healthy term newborns.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Five hundred and twenty-three healthy term newborns (275 boys, 248 girls) were selected. The cord blood total serum bilirubin concentration and the serum albumin concentration were determined. All the infants were assessed for jaundice daily by measurement of transcutaneous bilirubin (TCB). When the infant's TCB was >or= 18 within the first 24 h after birth, >or= 21 at 48 h, >or= 25 at or after 72 h, the venous total serum bilirubin (TSB) was determined and treatment against jaundice was applied as needed. The infants were aligned into four groups according to their UCS bilirubin levels, starting from < 30 micromol/L(group 1); >or= 30 micromol/L(group 2); >or= 36 micromol/L(group 3); >or= 42 micromol/L(group 4). The frequency of hyperbilirubinemia and phototherapy (PT) were compared among the four groups. An analysis of UCS bilirubin as a predictor of later development of jaundice was performed. The characteristics of the infants who became jaundiced (jaundiced group) were compared with the normal infants (non-jaundiced group).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A clear correlation between UCS bilirubin level and the development of hyperbilirubinemia was found in all populations of the four groups. Only eight of the 194 infants in group 1 showed a TCB index >or= 25. TSB values > 205 micromol/L but < 257 micromol/L were observed in 2 newborns. None of the infants in this group showed TSB > 257 micromol/L or needed PT. Thirty-two infants in group 2 showed TCB >or= 25, 12 infants had TSB > 205 micromol/L but < 257 micromol/L, 2 infants had TSB > 205 micromol/L and received PT. In group 3, one infant developed hyperbilirubinemia at 48 h after birth and received PT. Thirty-nine infants showed TCB >or= 25, 16 infants TSB > 205 micromol/L but < 257 micromol/L, 2 infants had TSB > 205 micromol/L and also received PT. In group 4, 4 infants showed a range of TSB from 200 to 215 micromol/L at 48 h and received PT. Twenty-two infants showed TCB >or= 25, 17 of them showed TSB > 205 micromol/L but < 257 micromol/L, and 5 of them had TSB > 205 micromol/L and received PT. The frequency of TSB > 205 micromol/L increased from 1.03% in group 1, 5.77% in group 2, 19.75% in group 3 and to 42.5% in group 4. None of the 194 newborns in group 1 needed phototherapy, whereas 0.96%, 3.70% and 22.5% of the newborns in groups 2 - 4, needed PT. The frequency of patients with hyperbilirubinemia or phototherapy increased with increasing UCS bilirubin levels. For the prediction of TCB >or= 25 using a UCS bilirubin cut-off level, such as >or= 35 micromol/L, we found a positive predictive value of 45.68% and sensitivity of 68.27%. It is significant to predict neonatal jaundice by UCS bilirubin levels (P < 0.001). In the jaundiced group (TCB >or= 25) UCS bilirubin levels were significantly higher than those in the non-jaundiced group (t = 10.96, P < 0.001). No significant differences were found in the cord blood serum albumin concentration (t = 2.38, P > 0.05), the gestational age (t = -0.90, P > 0.05), and birthweight (t = 0.10, P > 0.05) between the jaundiced and non-jaundiced groups.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>UCS bilirubin level is useful in predicting the subsequent jaundice in healthy term infants. The use of UCS bilirubin values may help detect infants at low or high risk for hyperbilirubinemia and minimize an unnecessary prolongation of hospitalization.</p>
