棉酚对罗非鱼（Oreochromisniloticus）离体精子毒性作用的研究

新鲜采取的尼罗罗非鱼精液在加入棉酚的精子保存液中28℃下培养。高达10mM 的乙酸棉酚也不影响精子在一小时内的存活率。罗非鱼精子的存活率在培养三小时后存活率显下降，而低浓度棉酚（25－100μM）显提高罗非鱼精子的 存活率。 本对上述实验结果进行了讨论。

Comparative external morphology of cetacean spermatozoa

SUMMARY: To compare size and morphology of spermatozoa in cetaceans, sperm and epididymis samples were collected from 10 species in four families and spermatozoa were observed with phase-contrast and scanning electron microscopes. According to the average total length of the spermatozoa, the 10 species examined were classified into the following four groups in order of increasing size: (i) Baird's beaked (Ziphiidae) and Bryde's whales (Balaenopteridae); (ii) Dall's and finless porpoises (Phocoenidae); (iii) common, bottlenose, and Pacific white-sided dolphins (Delphinidae); and (iv) killer and short-finned pilot whales, and Risso's dolphin (Delphinidae). Spermatozoa head length of Bryde's whale and the finless porpoise were shorter than those of the other species. Spermatozoa head width was widest in the killer whale and thinnest in the Baird's beaked whale. The lateral aspects of sperm heads from the 10 species were characterized as the 'anterior region of the sperm head is thin and flat while the posterior region is thick.' The dorsal aspects of sperm heads were 'paddle-shaped' in Bryde's whales, 'bowling pin-shaped' in Baird's beaked whales, 'Japanese fan-shaped' in killer whales, an 'elongated ellipsoid shape' in Delphinidae except for killer whales, and 'ellipsoid shaped' in Phocoenidae. Size and morphology of the spermatozoa showed interspecific differences among the 10 species examined, which correspond to cetacean taxonomic classification.     

Biochemical characterization of Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baeri and sterlet Acipenser ruthenus milt plasma and spermatozoa

This paper provides data concerning biochemical composition of milt of two sturgeon species, Siberian sturgeon bred in aquaculture facility of Inland Fisheries Institute in North Poland and sterlet (from two different populations from Danube and Odra). Milt plasma of Siberian sturgeon and sterlet, when compared to teleost fish, is characterized by much lower osmolality (up 70 to 96 mOsm kg⁻¹) and protein concentration (0.24–0.58 g l⁻¹). In spite of the presence of an acrosome and acrosin the antiproteinase activity of seminal plasma was low (12.79–25.40 U l⁻¹). Activities of arylsulfatase and β-N-acetylglucosaminidase were found in spermatozoa. This agrees with the presence of an acrosome in sturgeons sperm. Similarly to mammals, these enzymes are also present in milt plasma. We determined a range of enzymatic activities from the minimal (seminal plasma) to the maximal damage (supernatants obtained after freezing-thawing without cryoprotectant). Activities of arylsulfatase, β-N-acetylglucosaminidase, lactic dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase were released from spermatozoa after freezing-thawing. For this reason they are good potential candidates as a markers of cryoinjury to sperm acrosome and midpiece. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

不同品系小鼠精子冷冻及冻融精子体外受精的研究

采用小鼠精子冷冻、冻融精子体外受精的方法,进行小鼠保种、引种、生物净化及品系标准化的可行性研究,并初步探究小鼠精子冷冻的影响因素。实验选用同一年龄5种不同品系小鼠分别进行精子冷冻、复苏,并比较各品系冷冻效果及冻融精子的体外受精(IVF)率。结果显示,冷冻后各品系小鼠精子复苏存活率约在15%～50%之间;冻融小鼠精子体外受精结果随遗传背景的不同差异显著,受精率分别为:KM小鼠68.4%、ICR小鼠30.3%、DBA/2J小鼠47.2%、C57BL/6J小鼠6.8%、BALB/cA小鼠25%。冻融精子IVF得到的胚胎可以耐受体外培养。

Distribution of Live and Dead Spermatozoa in the Genital Tract of Gilts at Different Times After Insemination

Twenty-four gilts were inseminated pair-wise with live or dead spermatozoa from the same ejaculate. The insemination dose was 100 ml undiluted semen containing, on average, 19×10⁹ spermatozoa. The gilts were slaughtered 1, 2, 6 and 12 h after insemination. The numbers of spermatozoa were counted in the uterus, uterotubal junction and in four equally long segments of the oviduct, called I–IV, with a haemocytometer. IV was adjacent to the uterotubal junction. The numbers of spermatozoa recovered in the uterus diminished significantly during the first 12 h after insemination. From gilts inseminated with live spermatozoa more spermatozoa were recovered in the uterotubal junction than from gilts inseminated with dead spermatozoa. Two h after insemination spermatozoa were recovered in all oviducts. Significantly more live than dead spermatozoa were recovered in Segments III and IV of the oviduct, regardless of time. In gilts inseminated with live spermatozoa the sperm count in Segment I varied significantly with time, being hiigest 2 h after insemination. At 6 and 12 h there were no distinct differences in the distribution of live spermatozoa between the various oviduct segments. The numbers of spermatozoa recovered in the oviduct were at these times apparently related to the sperm depots in the uterotubal junction.     

不同处理对猪精子活率、顶体完整率、DNA含量及精清酶活性的影响

对猪全精进行稀释、保存、冷冻、冷休克处理,测定相关指标.结果表明,精液1:1稀释后,在室温(25℃)保存过程中,精子活率、顶体完整率逐渐下降,精清中GOT活性持续升高,ALP活性变化不明显,LDH活性首先于保存的第24h升高,以后下降.精液1:10稀释后,精子活率急剧降低,顶体完整率没有显著性变化;随室温保存时间的延长,两者呈下降趋势,到室温保存的第24h,除GOT活性升高外,其它两种酶活性变化不明显.精液经冷冻解冻、冷休克处理后,精子活率、顶体完整率大幅度下降,精清中GOT、LDII、ALP活性升高,并随冷休克处理时间的延长而加剧;稀释后再进行冷休克处理,各指标变化幅度减小.本试验结果还表明,猪精液DNA含量为3.14mg/10~9精子,其与精子密度呈正相关(r=0.893),试验中各种处理均未引起精子DNA含量明显变化.
