Decline of semen quality among Chinese sperm bank donors within 7 years (2008-2014)
Semen from 5210 sperm bank donors was analyzed and trends in semen quality were evaluated at Shandong Human Sperm Bank between 2008 and 2014. After 2-7 days of abstinence, semen samples were collected.

Sperm mobility phenotype not determined by sperm quality index
We tested the capacity of the AviMate sperm quality analyzer to predict sperm mobility phenotype. A preliminary experiment was performed to determine a sperm concentration that afforded maximal sperm quality index (SQI) values with sperm from males with high sperm mobility.

Cryopreservation and quality assessment of boar semen collected from bulk samples
The purpose of this study was to examine sperm quality after cryopreservation of ejaculates collected as a bulk sample, which is routinely part of semen collection, and to compare this quality with the sperm-rich fraction in boars.

Outdoor air pollution and sperm quality [PDF]
Exposure to air pollution has been clearly associated with a range of adverse health effects, including reproductive toxicity, but its effects on male semen quality are still unclear. We performed a systematic review (up to June 2016) to assess the impact of air pollutants on sperm quality.

Effects of temperature anomaly on sperm quality: A multi-center study of 33,234 men
Backgrounds: Global fertility rates continue to decline and sperm quality is a prime factor affecting male fertility. Both extreme cold and heat have been demonstrated to be associated with decreased sperm quality, but no epidemiological studies have ...

Effects of L-carnitine and L-acetyl-carnitine on testicular sperm motility and chromatin quality [PDF]
Background: Sperm cells extracted from testes (TESE) have poor chromatin quality and motility. Various substances are used in the laboratory to increase sperm motility and improve the ART outcomes; however, there are few research which considered ...

Sperm viability (SV), the proportion of live sperm in a sample, is a widely applied measure of sperm quality but few studies test its robustness. At least three reasons make SV problematic as a surrogate for sperm quality. First, reviewing the ecological

Study on Influencing Factors of Semen Quality in Fertile Men
ObjectiveTo establish a system for evaluation of semen quality in fertile men by factor analysis (FA).MethodsThe FA method was used to analyze five sperm test indicators for fertile men (sperm pH, sperm motility, sperm progressive motility, semen density,
