Practical semen analysis： from A to Z

Accurate semen analysis is critical for decisions about patient care, as well as for studies addressing overall changes in semen quality, contraceptive efficacy and effects of toxicant exposure. The standardization of semen analysis is very difficult for many reasons, including the use of subjective techniques with no standards for comparison, poor technician training, problems with proficiency testing and a reluctance to change techniques. The World Health Organization （WHO） Semen handbook （2010） offers a vastly improved set of standardized procedures, all at a level of detail that will preclude most misinterpretations. However, there is a limit to what can be learned from words and pictures alone. A WHO- produced DVD that offers complete demonstrations of each technique along with quality assurance standards for motility, morphology and concentration assessments would enhance the effectiveness of the manual. However, neither the manual nor a DVD will help unless there is general acknowledgement of the critical need to standardize techniques and rigorously pursue quality control to ensure that laboratories actually perform techniques ＇according to WHO＇ instead of merely reporting that they have done so. Unless improvements are made, patient results will continue to be compromised and comparison between studies and laboratories will have limited merit.

Marine algae have been used as food since ancient times and today are consumed as a regular part of the diet. In this study, we hypothesized that H. grandifolius phlorotannins-enriched extract exerts cytotoxic selective effects against tumor cell lines promoting cell death trough apoptosis mechanisms. The aim of the present study is to characterize chemically and investigate the selective cytotoxic effect of the H. grandifolius extract on epithelial tumour cell lines (A375, A549, Hep-2, HeLa) compared to non-malignant cell line (Hek-293), and evaluate possible molecular mechanisms involved in the programmed cell death pathway. High-resolution directly-infusion mass spectrometry (HR-DIMS) analysis with electrospray ionization (ESI) was performed in positive and negative mode. Cytotoxicity was evaluated through colorimetric assay and morphological alterations were observed in giemsa stained cells after extract treatment. Apoptosis was further evaluated by annexin V staining. Spectra showed peaks m/z between 370 and 430 and molecular formula was defined upon isotopic ratio. Extract showed selectivity to the non-tumor line with enhanced cytotoxicity in tumor cells according to the concentration and exposure time. After 72 h treatment, the HeLa strain was more susceptible to the extract, followed by lines Hep2, A375 and A549. Morphological changes by giemsa were observed after increased doses of extracts and staining for annexin V showed majority of tumor cells at early stages of the apoptotic process. Here, selective anti-tumor activity of extract taken from the alga H. grandifolius was able to suppress proliferation and promote apoptosis-mediated cell death with induction of initial stages of apoptosis in different cell lines.
