Laboratory of Reproduction Medicine Shenzhen People s Hospital Shenzhen ) (2. Shenzhen Baoan Chronic Diseases Prevent and Cure Hospital Shenzhen ) ABSTRACT Objective: To explore the advantages of solid state hyaluronic acid () selection procedure for high throughput sperm separation compared with traditional gradient centrifugation (GC) method in the aspect of separated sperm qualities. Methods: Totally 31 fresh semen samples were collected. Every sample was divided into 2 parts. One part was applied to the bottom surface of Petri dishes which pre-coated by immobilized. The unbound sperm were rinsed gently and the -bound sperm were removed and collected from dish surface. Another part of semen was separated synchronically using GC method. The qualities of separated sperm were compared between the two groups and calculation the extent of function indexes were promoted of selected sperm were compared by solid state technique. Results: In the -bound sperm fractions compared with GC-selected sperm fractions the proportions of normal morphology protein tyrosine phosphorylation (TP) after capacitated for 2 h (2 h TP) TP score ( 2 h TP minus sperm TP without capacitation ) A23187-induced acrosome reaction (AR) and AR score ( induced AR minus spontaneous AR ) were higher (P<0.001) and were increased to 1.55-fold ( ) 1.81-fold ( ) 3.35-fold ( ) 1.37-fold ( ) and 1.88-fold ( ) respectively. Conversely the levels of spontaneous AR immature nucleoproteinand DNA fragment were lower by solid state technique than by GC method (P<0.001) and were reduced to 68% (19% 102%) 47% (2% 103%) and 21% (0% 70%) respectively. However there was no significant difference in percentages of sperm progressive motility and total motility between the two methods (P>0.05). Conclusion: The solid state sperm selection technique which is based on a specific binding capacity between sperm receptors for zona pellucida and exogenous will likely increase the ability of spermatozoan fertilization and reduce immaturity and will be promising in improving the outcome of assisted reproduction. Key words: solid state; hyaluronic acid (); sperm preparation; sperm function 834
