OBJECTIVE To search for a simple, quick and accurate method for the sperm DNA integrity test by modifying the conventional sperm chromatin dispersion (SCD) test, and to investigate the reference value range of normal sperm DNA integrity by the improved SCD assay. METHODS We modified the conventional SCD test in its procedures, reagents preparing and utensils to be used, compared the improved method with the conventional one, and detected 293 normal semen samples for sperm DNA integrity by the modified SCD test. RESULTS An improved SCD test was established, and no statistical differences were found between the results of the modified and conventional methods. The reference value range was determined by the improved SCD assay for normal sperm DNA integrity, which was < 32.58% for abnormal sperm DNA integrity. CONCLUSIONS The improved SCD test could detect sperm DNA integrity more quickly, and it reduced the cost in reagents.

D002843 Chromatin The material of CHROMOSOMES. It is a complex of DNA; HISTONES; and nonhistone proteins (CHROMOSOMAL PROTEINS, NON-HISTONE) found within the nucleus of a cell. Chromatins
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D013081 Sperm Motility Movement characteristics of SPERMATOZOA in a fresh specimen. It is measured as the percentage of sperms that are moving, and as the percentage of sperms with productive flagellar motion such as rapid, linear, and forward progression.

D013094 Spermatozoa Mature male germ cells derived from SPERMATIDS. As spermatids move toward the lumen of the SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES, they undergo extensive structural changes including the loss of cytoplasm, condensation of CHROMATIN into the SPERM HEAD, formation of the ACROSOME cap, the SPERM MIDPIECE and the SPERM TAIL that provides motility.

D055101 Semen Analysis The quality of SEMEN, an indicator of male fertility, can be determined by semen volume, pH, sperm concentration (SPERM COUNT), total sperm number, sperm viability, sperm vigor (SPERM MOTILITY), normal sperm morphology, ACROSOME integrity, and the concentration of WHITE BLOOD CELLS.
