[Study on the relationship between the functional integrity of sperm membrane and seminal parameters related to CASA].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the relationship between the functional integrity of sperm membrane and seminal parameters related to CASA.


METHODS
Thirty-eight fertile and one hundrend and twenty four infertile males were tested the functional integrity of sperm membrane by the kit and parameters by CASA.


RESULTS
There was a significant difference in the functional integrity of sperm membrane between fertile and infertile group (P < 0.01). The items related to CASA between normal and abnormal group in the functional integrity of sperm membrane had a remarkable difference, except motion degree, seminal volume and pH.


CONCLUSIONS
To determine the functional integrity of sperm membrane can be used as a necessary supplementary method for CASA, and it has clinical significance in diagnosing, treating and researching male infertility.
