目的：评估通话模式下手机射频电磁波 (RF-EMW) 对未处理（净）射出的人类精液的影响。设计：前瞻性试点研究。地点：三级医院生殖医学实验室中心。样本：来自正常健康捐献者 (n = 23) 和不孕患者 (n = 9) 的净精液样本。干预 (S)： 液化后，纯净的精液样本被分成两等份。将每位患者的一份（实验）暴露于手机辐射（通话模式）1 小时，第二份（未暴露）在相同条件下作为对照样本。 主要结果指标：评估精子参数（活力、活力）、活性氧 (ROS)、精液总抗氧化能力 (TAC)、ROS-TAC 评分和精子 DNA 损伤。 结果： 暴露于 RF-EMW 的样本显示精子活力和活力显着下降，ROS 水平增加，ROS-TAC 评分下降。 TAC和DNA损伤水平与未暴露组没有显着差异。结论：手机发射的射频电磁波可能导致人类精液氧化应激。我们推测，将手机放在裤袋中并处于通话模式可能会对精子产生负面影响，并损害男性的生育能力。 （Fertil Steril (R) 2009；92:1318-25。(C)2009，美国生殖医学会。）
Objective: To evaluate effects of cellular phone radiofrequency electromagnetic waves (RF-EMW) during talk mode on unprocessed (neat) ejaculated human semen.Design: Prospective pilot study.Setting: Center for reproductive medicine laboratory in tertiary hospital setting.Samples: Neat semen samples from normal healthy donors (n = 23) and infertile patients (n = 9).Intervention(S): After liquefaction, neat semen samples were divided into two aliquots. One aliquot (experimental) from each patient was exposed to cellular phone radiation (in talk mode) for I h, and the second aliquot (unexposed) served as the control sample under identical conditions.Main Outcome Measure(s): Evaluation of sperm parameters (motility, viability), reactive oxygen species (ROS), total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of semen, ROS-TAC score, and sperm DNA damage.Result(s): Samples exposed to RF-EMW showed a significant decrease in sperm motility and viability, increase in ROS level, and decrease in ROS-TAC score. Levels of TAC and DNA damage showed no significant differences from the unexposed group.Conclusion(s): Radiofrequency electromagnetic waves emitted from cell phones may lead to oxidative stress in human semen. We speculate that keeping the cell phone in a trouser pocket in talk mode may negatively affect spermatozoa and impair male fertility. (Fertil Steril (R) 2009;92:1318-25.
