A REPORT OF THE TREATMENT OF 103 CASES WITH POSTPARTUM RETENTION OF URINE

The acupuncture treatment with Zi Wu Dao Jiu needling was used to treat thepostpartum retention of urine and produced a therapeutic effect better than that of urethral catheteri-zation. The remarkable effectiveness rate in patients with a clinical course less than 4 days was 99％.The acupuncture at Huiyang (BL 35) point might stimulate pudendal nerve and relax muscles of uri-nary bladder and urethra to facilitate the discharge of urine.     

COMPARISON OF THE EFFECTS OF CATGUT EMBEDDING THERAPY AND ACUPUNCTURE ON GASTROPTOSIS

Among 78 patients with gastroptosis treated with catgut embedding therapy, 8cases were cured, 25 cases rnarkedly improved, 4z cases improved and the effective rate was 96. 2％;and among 58 patients treated with acupuncture as control, 3 cases were cured, 18 cases markedlyimproved, 28 cases improved and the effective rate was 84. 5％. The chi square test for both cure rate(X~2 = 4. 84, P<0. 05 ) and effective rate (X~2= 5. 632, P<0.02 ) showed the significant differencesbetween 2 therapeutic groups and it indicated that the cure rate and effective rate in catgut embeddinggroup were significantly higher than those in acupuncture group.     

48 CASES OF PSORIASIS TREATED WITH ACUPUNCTURE

The author has treated 48 cases of psoriasis using long needle combined with cup-ping.of 48 cases,32 cases（67％）were cured,10（21％）markedly effective,6（12％）effective.Thetotal effective rate was 100％.     

Correlation of CD105 and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Laser-induced Choroidal Neovascularization in Rats

Introduction Angiogenesis plays a central role in the growth and development of normal tissues and in a variety of pathological settings. It is a complex multistep process involving growth and migration of endothelial cells, and capillary morphogenesis . These processes are tightly controlled by positive and negative angiogenic factors and their receptors, which regulate one or more of these key events[1-3]. Although the regulatory mechanisms of angiogenesis are not fully understood, evidence …

Specific Binding of 17D_3 Anti-pZP mAb to Porcine and Human Zona Pellucida but not to Other Tissue Antigens Identified by ABC Immunohistochemistry

The mammalian zona pellucida (ZP) is a transparent, porous sulfated glycoproteinextracellular matrix that surrounds growing and mature oocytes as well as the fertilizedovum before implantation. It mediates the initial spermatozoon-egg interaction involved inrecognition, binding and penetration of spermatozoon to oocyte in a relatively species-specificmanner, and plays an important role in the subsequent activation events including inductionof the acrosome reaction as well as the primary block …     

Detection of Sperm DNA Damage in Workers Exposed to Benzene by Modified Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis

It was well known that the genotoxicity and the carcinogenic effects of benzene weredemonstrated[1,2]. Recently more attention had been paid to the effects of benzene on humanreproduction. These studies focused on the female reproductive system[3] or the semen,such as volume, viscosity and liquefaction[4]. Few articles reported investigating the effectsof benzene on sperm DNA that was crucial for human reproduction[5].The purpose of this study was to assess sperm DNA damage in workers expos…
