[Effect of needle-pricking in treating functional anejaculation and its influence on sex hormone levels].

Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of needle-pricking (NP) for treatment of anejaculation (AE), and its influences on sex hormone levels.

Methods: One hundred and twenty-two AE patients were randomized into the treated group (62 patients) treated with NP applied mainly on bilateral points of sacral plexus and para-vertebra L1, every 5 days; and the control group (60 patients) treated orally with L-dopa and ephedrine 1 h before sexual intercourse. The therapeutic course for both was 45 days.

[Research on distinguishing weed from crop using spectrum analysis technology].

Automatic detection of weeds is necessary for site--specific application of herbicides or precise physical weed control. Leaf reflectance is mainly determined by photosynthetic pigments, leaf structural properties and water content, so spectral reflectance characteristics can be used for weed discrimination. The spectral reflectance of cotton, rice and weeds was determined in the range from 350 to 2 500 nm using the Analytical Spectral Device Full Range FieldSpec Pro (ASD) in laboratory.

[Clinical study on needle-pricking therapy for treatment of polycystic ovarial syndrome].

Objective: To probe into the clinical effect of needle-pricking therapy for treatment of polycystic ovarial syndrome.

Methods: One hondred and twenty-one cases of polycystic ovarial syndrome were divided into a needle-pricking therapy group of 61 cases and a medication group of 60 cases with randomized and controlled method. The needle-pricking therapy group were treated by needle-pricking therapy at sacral plexus stimulating points on both sides of the spine and lateral points of Dazhui (CV 14), and the medication group by oral administration of domiphen and intramuscular injection of chorionic gonadotropin (HCG).

Discussion on satisfaction and relevant factors of computerized nursing operation.

The purpose of this study is to examine satisfaction level and relevant factors of computerized nursing operation at one medical center in southern Taiwan. Structure and non-structure questionnaire survey is conducted on 96 nursing staffs through "Questionnaire of Satisfaction Level toward Computerized Nursing Operation." The results indicated that satisfaction level ranked between fair and satisfied, nursing record is the item with the highest score, and the question "Linking medical advice and instruction to nursing records to save typing time" scored the highest.

[Clinical observation and study of mechanisms of needle-picking therapy for primary infertility of abnormal sperm].

Objective: To search for the best method for increasing clinical therapeutic effect on primary abnormality of sperm.

Methods: One hundred and sixty-eight cases of infertility were randomly divided into a treatment group of 85 cases and a control group of 83 cases. The treatment group were treated with needle-picking at bilateral Shengzhi points, Dicong Shenjing points and L2 Shenjing points as main.

[Clinical observation on needle pricking for treatment of infertility due to varicocele after varicocelectomy].

Objective: To observe clinical therapeutic effect of needle pricking therapy on infertility with varicocele after varicocelectomy.

Methods: One hundred and twenty-two cases were randomly divided into a treatment group of 62 cases and a control group of 60 cases. The treatment group were treated with needle pricking at sacral plexus nerve spots and lumbar plexus nerve spots, and the control group were treated with intramuscular injection of HCG.
