摘要
To observe the histological and immunohistochemical changes caused by of Traditional Chinese Medicine——Mianbu Fang (Immunological Infertility Healing Mixture) in testis and epididymus of male mice with immunological infertility induced by antisperm antibody (AsAb). Materials & Methods Models of mice with immunological infertility were used by injection of mice sperm. These mice were treated with Mianbu Ⅰ, Mianbu Ⅱ or Prednisone Acetates. The characteristics on histology and immunohistochemistry of mice were analyzed. Results High level of AsAb was detected in serum and seminal vesicle plasma of model mice after treatment. Immune compounds mostly deposited in limiting membrane of seminiferous tubules, spermatogonium and epithelia of epididymis ducts. The number of spermatogenic cells per convoluted seminiferous tubule decreased. However, the Chinese medicine could significantly reduce the level of AsAb, or even eliminate the antibodies and clear out the immune compounds and increase the number of spermatogenic cells of seminiferous tubules. Conclusion Chinese Medicine Mianbu Ⅰand Ⅱ can regulate, absorb and clear out circulation and partial AsAb, as well as immunological compound. Hence, they can increase the number of spermatogenic cells of seminiferous tubules and increase the pregnancy of mice.
