Objective To explore the dilution conditions and standards in detecting the semen samples with high sperm concentration using computer-aided sperm analysis(CASA)systems.Methods CASA systems with 10 μm depth disposable counting chambers were used for the examination.The samples were divided into undiluted group(Group 1∶sperm concentration＜50×106/mL)and diluted groups(Group 2∶50×106/mL≤ sperm concentration＜100× 106/mL;Group 3∶sperm concentration≥100× 106/mL).When sperm concentration＜50×106/mL,no dilution was performed.When sperm concentration≥50× 106/mL,the samples were diluted with saline at 1∶n/(50×106)ratio(n=sperm concentration,n/[50×106]rounded down)to＜50×106/mL of sperm concentration.The sperm concentration,progressive motility(PR),non-progressive motility(NP),total motility(PR+NP)and immotile sperm percent-age(IM)were analyzed before and after dilution.The consistency of results pre-and post-dilution was compared.ROC curve was used to analyze the optimal dilution threshold.Results The differences in the parameters pre-and post-dilution gradually rosed with the increased sperm concentration.ROC curve analysis showed optimal dilution thresholds were 133.05 × 106/mL,101.75 × 106/mL,118.60×106/mL,90.90×106/mL,111.83×106/mL for the sperm concentration,PR+NP,PR,NP and IM respectively.Considering sperm concentration and NP were most affected the undiluted high concentration samples,the optimal comprehensive dilution threshold was determined as 125.08× 106/mL.Conclusion When sperm concentration exceeds 125×106/mL,it is recommended to dilute semen sample with normal saline.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) levels and neuroimaging changes and cognitive impairment in patients with cerebral small vascular disease (CSVD).Methods:135 patients with CSVD recruited from the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from September 2021 to July 2022 were assessed by cranial multimodal magnetic resonance imaging and Montreal cognitive function assessment (MoCA), and the basic data were analyzed at the same time.The serum GDNF concentration of all patients was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). According to the median GDNF concentration, the patients were divided into low GDNF group and high GDNF group. The baseline data, MoCA score and imaging markers of the two groups were compared by Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test, logistic regression, Kruskal-Wallis H test and Jonckheere-Terpstra trend test, and the correlation between serum GDNF level and imaging markers and cognitive function of patients with CSVD was analyzed. Results:The median serum GDNF concentration of all CSVD patients was 16.66 pg/mL. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low serum GDNF level was a risk factor for white matter hyperintensity and total image load in patients with CSVD. Serum GDNF level was a protective factor of cognitive impairment in patients with CSVD in multiple logistic regression analysis. The area under the curve of ROC curve analysis of cognitive impairment after CSVD predicted by serum GDNF level was 0.735, the sensitivity was 66.4%, and the specificity was 71.4%. The level of serum GDNF was positively related with visual space and executive function, attention and computational power, delayed recall and orientation( r=0.267, 0.187, 0.219, 0.215, all P<0.05). Conclusion:The serum GDNF level is related to white matter hyperintensities, total imaging load and cognitive impairment in patients with CSVD. Serum GDNF level may play a predictive role in CSVD and cognitive impairment.

Objective To investigate the neural mechanisms of speech motor control in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) under different strategies of motor execution control.MethodsThe techniques of the psychoacoustic and event-related potentials (ERPs) based on the altered auditory feedback paradigm were used in the present study. Two groups, including 17 PD patients and 17 healthy controls, were instructed to produce sustained vowels under the internal and external cueing tasks while hearing their voice randomly pitch-shifted downwards. The vocal responses and associated ERPs were recorded and compared across the groups and tasks.ResultsBehavioral results showed that the amplitude of acoustic compensation response was larger in PD patients than in the healthy controls (F=5.415, P=0.027), however, the main effect was not significant in the tasks (F=0.039, P=0.840). At the cortical level, PD patients produced significantly larger N1 responses to pitch perturbations in the internal cueing task related to the external cueing task (F=8.634, P=0.006), while such task effect was not observed in the healthy controls (F=1.550, P=0.231). Also, PD patients produced significantly larger N1 responses than the healthy controls in the internal cueing condition (F=5.476, P=0.026), but not in the external cueing condition (F=0.249, P=0.621). Conclusion Speech motor control in PD can be influenced by the strategies of motor execution control. Compared to the internal cueing task, the external cueing task can increase neural efficiency in the encoding of speech auditory feedback PD patients that improve auditory-motor integration for speech production.
