Objective To analyze the semen quality in the outpatients from 3 male infertile clinics of Foshan city.Methods The semen from 1 865 outpatients with male infertility was detected and analyzed routinely by the CASA technology in strict accordance with the WHO operation technical specifications.The outpatients were divided into the normal group,mild,moderate and severe as-thenospermia groups according to the sperm vitality.Results There were 524 (28.1%)cases of abnormal sperm concentration,826 (44.3%)cases of abnormal sperm viability,985 (52.8%)cases of abnormal sperm motility,713 cases (38.2%)of teratosperm and 652 (35.0%)cases of leukocytospermia in all outpatients;the motion parameters were decreased along with the decrease of activity in each group,in which,the 6 indicators of VSL,VAP,VCL,LIN,STR and WOB were significantly lower than those in the normal activity group with statistical differences(P <0.05),furthermore,the sperm vitality had staitstcally significant differences among the mild,moderate and severe asthenospermia groups (P <0.05).Conclusion In the routine parameter indicators,the sort order of the percentage of abnormal results in turn were sperm motility、sperm viability、sperm deformity rate、semen WBC、sperm concentra-tion、semen liquefaction time、semen pH.With reduced sperm motility,the sperm motion parameters of VSL,VCL,VAP,LIN,STR and WOB were decreased,the results of each group were significantly lowered (P <0.05).

Objective:To investigate the application value of aortic dissection detection risk score (ADD-RS) combined with D-dimer (DD) in the early diagnosis of acute aortic dissection (AAD).Methods:The clinical data of 70 patients with suspected aortic dissection detection admitted to The Second Hospital of Jiaxing from August 2019 to April 2020 were collected. All patients were scored using the ADD-RS, and grouped according to the scoring results. The sensitivity and specificity of ADD-RS plus DD in the early diagnosis of AAD were calculated. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves that were plotted for drADD-RS plus DD versus DD alone to screen AAD were compared to evaluate efficacy. Results:CT angiography results showed that among 70 patients with suspected AAD, 29 patients had AAD and 41 patients had no AAD. A total of 21 patients were scored 0, 41 patients were scored > 1, and 8 patients were scored > 0. ADD-RS > 0 had an overall sensitivity of 79.31% and a specificity of 36.59% for AAD diagnosis. DD test results had an overall sensitivity of 86.20% and a specificity of 36.50% for AAD diagnosis. The area under the ROC curve of ADD-RS = 0 plus DD-negative result and the area under the ROC curve of DD-negative result alone in ruling out AAD were 0.885 with 95% CI (0.786-0.949) and 0.787 with 95% CI (0.673-0.876), respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P = 0.024). Conclusion:Compared with DD-negative result alone, the ADD-RS = 0 plus DD-negative result strategy offers greater specificity to rule out AAD. The combined strategy has a greater efficacy in ruling out AAD. However, a multi-center study involving a large sample is required for in-depth evaluation.
