超低温保存对藏獒犬精子质量及超微结构的研究(英文)

目的]该研究旨在观察超低温保存对藏獒犬精子质量及超微结构的影响。方法]通过精子运动度、膜完整率及顶体完整率评价4种冷冻保护剂、冷冻时距液氮面3种不同高度及添加物(SDS和Vc)对精子超低温冷冻效果的影响;在此基础上,在扫描电镜和透射电镜下观察超低温冷冻对精子超微结构的影响。结果]试验1表明,EG作为冷冻保护剂获得了最好的冷冻效果,解冻后精子运动度、膜完整率及顶体完整率分别为36.3%、38.0%和42.0%。但EG和甘油作为冷冻保护剂并无显著差异存在(P>0.05)。试验2表明,距离液氮面5cm冷冻时冷冻效果最好。但除顶体完整率外,冷冻高度2和5cm间不存在显著差异(P>0.05)。试验3表明,稀释液中单独或共同添加十二烷基磺酸钠(SDS)和维生素C(Vc)均能改善精子冷冻-解冻效果。单独添加SDS或Vc时,除单独添加Vc组表现精子冷冻-解冻后运动度更低外(P<0.05),其它指标并无显著差异存在(P>0.05)。共同添加SDS和Vc时,精子冷冻效果最好,精子解冻后运动度、膜完整率和顶体完整率分别为44.1%、48.0%和48.2%。超微结构显示超低温保存引起藏獒犬精子不同程度的损伤,顶体损伤更严重,如顶体肿胀、囊泡化,甚至顶体消失。结论]冷冻保护剂EG、距液氮面5cm高度及共同添加SDS和Vc可提高精子超低温保存效果,但超低温对精子超微结构仍具有一定损伤作用。

Effects of Cryopreservation on the Quality and Ultrastructure of Tibetan Mastiff Sperm

Objective] This study aimed to investigate the effects of cryopreservation on the quality and ultrastructure of Tibetan Mastiff sperm. Method] The effects of cryopreservation on the quality of Tibetan Mastiff sperm were evaluated via motility, membrane integrity rate and acrosome intact rate. On that basis, the effects of cryopreservation on ultrastructure of sperm were observed under SEM and TEM. Result] In Experiment 1, EG gave the best results not only in post-thaw motility rate (36.3%), but also in low membrane integrity rate (38.0%) and acrosome intact rate (42.0% ), but there was no significant difference between EG group and Glycerol group (P>0.05). In Experiment 2, the 5 cm freezing height obtained the best freezing-thawing results, but there was no significant difference between 2 and 5 cm height (P >0.05), besides in acrosome intact rate. In Experiment 3, SDS and Vc added separately or together into extenders could improve freezing-thawing results, but there was not obvious difference between SDS group and Vc group (P>0.05), besides the lower motility of Vc group (P<0.05). Addition of SDS and Vc obtained the best results in post-thaw motility rate (44.1%), and also in membrane integrity rate (48.0%) and acrosome intact rate (48.2%). The ultrastructure of frozen-thawed sperm was also evaluated under SEM and TEM, results showed that cryopreservation caused various degrees of damage to Tibetan Mastiff sperm, more serious damages were observed in the acrosome such as swelling, vesiculation and even disappearance. Conclusion] This study confirms that EG, horizontal height of 0.25 ml straw above LN 2 surface and additives SDS and Vc together can improve freezing effect. However, cryopreservation has certain damage to ultrastructure of sperm.
