- Abstract
Background: The procedures of assisted reproductive technologies have been developed during recent years and have been revealed the need for new suitable and effective techniques of sperm treatment in the laboratory. Objectives: This study is designed to normozoospermic and asthenozoospermic compare the semen outcomes of two in vitro sperm activation techniques and evaluate their efficiency, namely; Glass wool filtration technique and a new technique of Glass wool filtration combined with Pentoxifylline. Subjects, Materials and Methods: Fifty five semen samples were collected from the patients, fifteen were obtained from normozoospermic men, forty were obtained from asthenozoospermic men who at tend the infertility clinic were involved in this study. Sperm parameters were assessed according to WHO (2010 and 1999). Post-activation of each sample were divided into two aliquots, the first one : using Glass wool filtration technique, the second : using Glass wool filtration technique with Pentoxifylline. Results: A significant increase of sperm motility, progressive sperm motility and morphologically normal sperm when using Glass wool filtration technique combined with Pentoxifylline as compared to Glass wool filtration technique. Regarding sperm agglutination and Round cells count the study showed the best results by decreasing their levels when using Glass wool filtration technique combined with Pentoxifylline as compared to Glass wool filtration technique alone. Conclusions: From the results of the present study, the sperm function parameters outcome when using glass wool filtration technique combined with Pentoxifylline were superior to other technique since it yields better sperm function parameters rather than the outcome of glass wool filtration ; respectively especially when using a low quality of semen samples such as decreased sperm function parameters (sperm motility) so it was fit in cases of asthenozoospermia which taken as an example of infertile group within this study.
