METHODS: Semen analysis is a key element in the fertility evaluation of men and permits male reproductive potential to be evaluated. Semen samples were collected from consenting men after 3-5 d of sexual abstinence. The samples were collected from 130 males; 78 were male partners of infertile couples while 52 were healthy semen donors. Seminal volume, motility and morphology were assessed. The results were analyzed on Prism 5. All data are expressed as mean ± SD. Student's t-test was used for statistical analysis. Differences were regarded as statistically signifi cant if P < 0.05.RESULTS: Semen volume, sperm concentration, progressive motility and normal morphology were significantly higher in the control group when compared to the participant group. On the other hand, no statistically signifi cant difference was found between the control group total sperm motility when compared to the participant group. Oligozoospermia was found in 25 cases, teratozoospermia detected in 17 cases and abnormal seminal plasma in 16 cases. Asthenozoospermia and azoosper-mia were found in 12 and 8 participants, respectively. This study has shown that most of the infertile patients seeking fertility testing had oligozoospermia. Teratozoospermia was the second most common abnormality found in the patients seeking fertility testing. CONCLUSION: Our study is in agreement with previous studies which reported that these parameters have been shown to be good predictors for fertilization.展开更多

Experiences were spent with domestic sorts Uzbekistan and Shark Yulduzi. The following schemes of accommodation and plants of density standing were tested： 70×30 cm and 90×23 cm at density of standing of 47,619 plants/hectares; 70×35 cm and 90×27 cm, 40,816 plants/hectares; 70×40 cm and 90×31 cm, 35,774 plants/hectares. The area of one plant feeding was 0.21, 0.245 and 0.28 ms. Schemes of accommodation and the area of plant feeding within the limits of the tested parameters do not render essential effect upon speed of plant development. Some acceleration （for 1-2 days） introductions into flowering are noted only at increase in the area of plant feeding with 0.21 ms up to 0.28 m^2. It was established that granting to plants of the greater feeding area as due to increase in distance between plants in the lines, and increases in row width strengthens growth of an elevated vegetative part of plants, especially due to increase amount of lateral branches. The greatest general and commodity harvest and the largest fruits sort ＂Uzbekistan＂ forms at density of standing in 40,816 plants/hectares, at schemes 90×27 cm and 70×35 cm, and more compact sort ＂Shark Yulduzi＂ at density of standing of 47,619 plants/hectares and the scheme 90×23 cm.展开更多
