Parameters of semen analysis affecting the pregnancy rate of artificial insemination with husband's spermatozoa.

The efficacy of intrauterine insemination with husband's semen (AIH) is well established for some types of infertility. Results that had been reported previously were Dwing difficult to assess owing to the low number of patients or treatment cycles as well as an inadequate definition of the indications in most cases. In this study, we report our experience with intrauterine insemination (IUI) using post-treated sperm suspension from husband's semen in the treatment of infertility. A total of 328 treatment cycles were completed from January to December in 1991. The indications for AIH/IUI were male infertility (130 cycles), unexplained infertility (87 cycles), sex selection (72 cycles) and anovulatory disorder (39 cycles). Sixty-eight pregnancies were achieved. The clinical usefulness of AIH/IUI with or without concomitant hMG regimens were established according to diagnostic subgroups. In our results, the cycle fecundity of pregnancy was higher in patients with ovulatory disturbance. The importance of sperm motility confirmed by our results that have compared by the serial sperm parameters. The motile sperm count may appear to be a highly consistent parameter that serves as a sensitive indicator of sperm function and correlation of successful pregnancy in our results. In conclusion, this study indicates that AIH with controlled ovarian hyperstimulation can result in higher viable pregnancy rate, and it is also a non-invasive and relatively easy procedure. We believe that this is a transient useful method for the treatment of non-organic infertility, prior to any attempt of aggressive assisted reproductive procedures.

[Hereditary defects in artificially-inseminated breeds].

Since it is possible to analyse genes directly and thus decipher the genome, animal hereditary diseases are in the centre of attention again. This publication presents some selected genetically determined illnesses and points out to the significance of monogene disorders with recessive genetic pathway particularly. By using genetic engineering, e.g. PCR, significant progress can be made in the diagnosis of genetic defects. But it is necessary to find ways of dealing with them.

Sperm abnormalities in silver fox (Vulpes vulpes) semen selected for artificial insemination.

Sperm morphology was examined in fresh ejaculates accepted for insemination. The material included 161 ejaculates of 36 male silver foxes. Samples were fixed, stained with eosin/nigrosin and evaluated microscopically. The abnormal spermatozoa were categorized by the location of the defect. The mean (+/- SD) percentage of morphologically normal spermatozoa was 87.55 +/- 10.45. The incidence of sperm defects was low and variation high in all defect classes. Defects of tails of spermatozoa accounted for > 50% of the abnormalities found. Morphological quality did not correlate with the volume of the sperm-rich fraction, mass activity, progressive motility, or total sperm count in ejaculates of acceptable sperm quality. The incidence and effects of morphological defects in low-quality semen remain to be studied.

Non-surgical intrauterine artificial insemination in bitches using frozen semen.

A total of 46 bitches were inseminated directly into the uterus using non-surgical insemination procedures; the technique used in six bitches involved specially designed metal catheters and abdominal fixation of the cervix, whereas the remainder were inseminated by passing a flexible plastic catheter through the cervix using direct endoscopic visualization to facilitate the process. Twenty-seven bitches were inseminated with semen frozen at the clinic; the remainder were inseminated with imported semen. Insemination timing was based on endoscopic assessment of the vaginal mucosa, vaginal cytology and blood progesterone concentration determined using a rapid, qualitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. Each bitch received between 50 x 10(6) and 200 x 10(6) total spermatozoa per insemination; post-thaw motility varied from 10 to 80%. Two inseminations were performed 48 h apart in the majority of bitches. An overall pregnancy rate of 80% (37/46) was obtained with a mean litter size of 5 +/- 3.14. Subsequent pregnancy rates were comparable for both techniques and both were considered to be effective methods of inseminating frozen semen. Considerably fewer spermatozoa were inseminated in many of these bitches than have previously been reported. In a series of seven bitches using the semen from one dog, each bitch received two inseminations of 30-35 x 10(6) live normal spermatozoa per insemination. A pregnancy rate of 85% (6/7) and a mean litter size of 7.8 was achieved. Rapid ELISA progesterone kits were used to identify the optimum time for insemination.

A prospective randomized trial of artificial insemination versus intercourse in cycles stimulated with human menopausal gonadotropin or clomiphene citrate.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the relative efficacy of intrauterine insemination (IUI), direct intraperitoneal insemination, and intercourse in cycles stimulated with clomiphene citrate (CC) or human menopausal gonadotropins (hMG). DESIGN: A prospective randomized trial with a 2(3) factorial design with eight different treatment alternatives. Only one cycle per couple was performed. SETTINGS: The Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Central Hospital, Västerås and Akademiska Hospital, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden. PATIENTS: Of 157 randomized couples with unexplained infertility including 51 cases with minimal or mild endometriosis, 148 were selected for comparison. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Pregnancy rate (PR). RESULTS: Follicular stimulation with hMG gave a higher PR than with CC in the insemination cycles, 19% (10/52) and 4% (2/49), respectively, but the PRs in intercourse cycles were not significantly different for hMG and CC, 13% (3/24) and 17% (4/23), respectively. Insemination cycles and intercourse cycles had a similar overall PR, 12% (12/101) and 13% (7/47), respectively. Furthermore, IUI and direct intraperitoneal insemination did not differ in efficacy. CONCLUSION: Follicular stimulation with hMG is more effective than CC in insemination cycles, but insemination as such seems to have no beneficial effect on the PR in stimulated cycles for treatment of unexplained infertility.

[Comparison of 2 artificial insemination technics. (Sperm tubal perfusion and intrauterine insemination)].

In 1991 Kahn et al, described a method of intrauterine Insemination called Fallopian Tube Sperm Perfusion (FSP) using 4.0 ml for the insemination volume, unlike the classic Intrauterine Insemination (IIU) in which insemination volume is 0.5 ml. The aim of this study is to compare pregnancy rate per cycle in both technics. Between August 1993 and January 1994, 60 couples with infertility were studied, 131 ovarian stimulation cycles were done, 95 with IIU and 36 with PTE. 18 clinical pregnancies occurred, 11 with IIU and 7 with PTE, for a pregnancy rate per cycle of 11.5% for IIU and 19.4% for PTE. This result confirms the reports by Kahn. PTE represents a new possibility for the treatment of different etiology infertility.
