Abstract
Abstract- Background: Sperm hyaluronan binding may be an indicator of which sperm are most likely to
produce a viable pregnancy. For example, mature, hyaluronan-binding sperm are essentially free of
cytoplasmic inclusions. This is of great value since cytoplasmic inclusions are extremely difficult to see
when selecting sperm to inject into eggs in an in vitro fertilization cycle.
Rationale: The data concerning fertility rate of rural and urban Sudanese males’ populations is
extremely rare.
Objectives: To know the fertility rate among rural in comparison to urban Sudanese males.
Method: Men who are preparing to do in vitro fertilization with ICSI will be asked to collect a semen
specimen in the same manner that they would for a conventional semen analysis. The semen is mixed
with some media and placed on a special slide that has been coated with hyaluronan. Mature sperm will
bind the hyaluronan (bound)
