Methods: Semen samples from 20 men with severe asthenozoospermia underwent traditional seminal analysis, eosin-nigrosin (EN) staining and the HOS test. A further EN stain was then performed on a HOS pre-treated aliquot and a total of 2000 further sperm examined. Results: The median sperm density was 5.1 million/mL (IQR 4.3-13.1) and the median motility was 3.0 % (IQR 0-7). Seven samples showed complete asthenozoospermia. Initial EN staining showed 59 % viability (range 48-69) despite the poor standard parameters and 47 % (range 33-61) in the complete asthenozoospermia subgroup. The HOS test showed 49.9 % reacted overall (range 40-59) and 41.7 % (range 22-61) in the complete asthenozoospermia subgroup. The combined HOS/EN stain showed the positive predictive value of the HOS test to identify viable sperm was 84.2 % overall and 79.7 % in the complete asthenozoospermia subgroup. Conclusion: The HOS test can effectively predict sperm viability in patients with severe and complete asthenozoospermia.展开更多

The uniaxial anisotropy of Fe-sublattice and R-sublattice with positive second order Stevens αJ in RFe10V2 compounds is weakened by hydrogenation, while that of R-sublattice with negative αJ (Er) enhanced. Such a change of anisotropy causes planar-easy magnetic structures in RFe10V2 (R=Tb and Dy) at room temperature and induces spin reorientation in HoFe10V2 after hydrogenation. The change of anisotropy of R-sublattice after hydrogenation may be owed to a decrease of the second order crystalline coefficient.展开更多
