Abstract:

Objective To investigate the influence of polymorphonuclear neutrophil elastase (PMNE) on the quality of semen,and to investigate optimal reanalysis time for PMNE. Methods The quality of semen of 763 patients were determined by SCA-H-01 computer-assisted sperm analysis,and PMNE level was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). According to PMNE level,genital tract infection was identified. After treatment for inapparent and confirmed infection patients, different reanalysis times were chosen and evaluated. Results Sperm motility of PMNE confirmed infection patients was decreased(P<0.05). The positive rate of PMNE in patients reanalyzed in <7 d had statistical significance compared with those in 7-14 d (χ2=7.601,P=0.006)and >14 d (χ2=18.530,P<0.001). Conclusions The increasing of PMNE level may influence on semen quality,and it is important for choosing a proper time to reanalyze PMNE level and obtain exact results.
