Objective: To investigate the feasibility and clinical significance of detecting sperm mitochondrial function by using Rh123/PI dual fluorescent staining and flow cytometry analysis, and to explore the relationship between the results of Rh123/PI dual fluorescent staining and seminal parameters.
Methods: Sixty-three semen samples were classified as normal (n=31) and abnormal (n=32) according to the World Health Organization guidelines. Rh123/PI dual fluorescent staining was then carried out to evaluate sperm mitochondrial function by flow cytometry analysis.
Results: Significant differences in Rh123+ PI-, Rh123- /PI+ and Rh123- /PI- were detected between the normal and abnormal semen samples (P < 0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between the Rh123+ PI- sperm and sperm motility and a significant inverse correlation between Rh123+ PI- and immotile sperm. But the Rh123- PI+ sperm showed a contrary relationship with Rh123+ PI-. A significant inverse correlation was also observed between the Rhl23- /PI- sperm and sperm concentration in the abnormal group.
Conclusion: Rh123/PI dual fluorescent staining and flow cytometry analysis can readily and quickly detect sperm mitochondrial function and be used to evaluate semen quality.

Objective: The recent advent of flow cytometry (FCM), coupled with fluorescent dyes, has been successfully applied to assess mitochondrial function. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility and clinical significance of detecting sperm mitochondrial function and to evaluate sperm mitochondrial function by using Rhodamine 123/propidium (Rh123/PI) dual fluorescent staining and FCM in asthenospermia and oligoasthenozoospermia.
Methods: Twenty-five fertile men (with normal sperm parameters) and 230 infertile patients were examined.

Objective: To investigate the feasibility and clinical significance of detecting sperm mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) by JC-1 fluorescent staining and flow cytometry, and to explore the relationship between the results of JC-1 staining and seminal parameters.
Methods: Sixty-three semen samples were divided into a fertile (n = 31) and an infertile group (n = 32) and underwent computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA). All the samples were washed, followed by JC-1 staining and evaluation of sperm MMP by flow cytometry.
