Résumé
Objective To investigate the correlation between sperm-nucleporotein transition and sperm parameters and embryo development,also to evaluate the influence of pregnancy out comes of assisted reproductive technology (ART).Methods Sperm-nucleoprotein transition assay of a total of 676 patients underwent ART treatment were detected by aniline blue staining,and the correlation analysis between spermnucleoprotein transition and sperm parameters,DNA damage,acrosin activity,fertilization rate,cleavage rate,quality of early embryo development as well as blastocyst formation rate was performed.Results The sperm concentration,(a+b) ％ sperm,sperm count and acrosin activity was (66.5±4.6) × 109/L,(149.2±9.9)×109/L,(51.2±1.3)％ and (72.2±3.3) mU/106 sperm in abnormal group,and (91.9±2.7) ×109/L,(240.0±8.0) ×109/L,(57.3±0.8)％ and (85.7±1.9) mU/106 sperm in normal group,which reached significant difference (P＜0.01).DNA fragmentation index (DFI) was (17.3± 1.0)％ in abnormal group,which was significantly higher than (14.6±0.5)％ in normal group.The cleavage rate of 95.0％,D3/D5 high quality embryo rates of 34.2％ and 1.28％,D5 blastocyst formation rate and the total rate of blastocyst formation rate of 22.4％ and 38.6％ in abnormal group,which were significantly lower than that in normal group (96.9％,38.2％,2.70％,27.9％ and 46.4％) (P＜0.01).The rate of spontaneous abortion was 12.3％ in abnormal group,which was significantly higher than that in normal group (4.7％) (P＜0.01).However,there was no significant difference in biochemical pregnancy rate and ectopic pregnancy rate between the 2 groups (P＞0.05).Conclusions Sperm-nucleoprotein transition was positively related with sperm parameters,DNA damage,acrosin activity,and also has an adverse effect on embryo development and the outcomes of ART.It is suggested that the sperm-nucleoprotein transition should be detected before ART.
