Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture on postpartum uterine contraction pain and uterine involution.

Methods: A total of 80 patients with postpartum uterine contraction pain were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 40 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with electroacupuncture at Dahe (KI 12), Zhongzhu (KI 15), Hegu (LI 4), Xuehai (SP 10), etc.

[Effect of warming acupuncture on uterine blood perfusion in patients with failed high-quality freeze-thawed embryo transfer].

Objective: To observe the effect of warming acupuncture on uterine blood perfusion in the patients with failed high-quality freeze-thawed embryo transfer (FET) and explore its effect mechanism on the improvement of clinical pregnancy rate after re-tranfer.

Methods: A total of 72 patients of failed high-quality FET were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 36 cases in each one. In the observation group, after the menstrual period ended, warming acupuncture started at the acupoints located on the abdomen, e.

[Effect of wheat-grain moxibustion at Yinbai (SP 1) on the menstrual period prolongation after IVF-ET down-regulation treatment].

Objective: To compare the clinical effect between wheat-grain moxibustion at Yinbai (SP 1) and oral administration of dydrogesterone tablet for menstrual period prolongation after down-regulation treatment of in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET).

Methods: A total of 54 patients with prolonged menstrual period after down-regulation treatment of IVF-ET were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 27 cases in each one. In the observation group, when the menstrual period delayed more than 7 days, the wheat-grain moxibustion at Yinbai (SP 1) was performed, once a day, with an interval of 1 day between two 3-day treatments; when the menstrual blood was cleaned, the ovulation was continued and the eggs were taken.

Optimized cutoff maternal age for adverse obstetrical outcomes: a multicenter retrospective cohort study in Urban China during 2011 to 2012.

Background: China's two-child policy has led to a trend of aging in pregnancy which was associated with adverse outcomes. This study aimed to identify the clinically cutoff maternal age for adverse obstetric outcomes in China.

Methods: This secondary analysis of a multicenter retrospective cohort study included data of childbearing women from 39 hospitals collected in urban China during 2011 to 2012.

[Effect of electroacupuncture at Shaoze (SI 1) on breast milk volume and composition in postpartum hypogalactia].

Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture at Shaoze (SI 1) on breast milk volume and nutrient composition in postpartum hypogalactia.

Methods: A total of 62 women with postpartum hypogalactia were randomized into an observation group (31 cases, 3 cases dropped off) and a control group (31 cases, 3 cases dropped off). Electroacupuncture was exerted at Shaoze (SI 1) in the observation group and at Shangyang (LI 1) in the control group, 10 Hz in frequency, 30 min each time, once a day.

[Clinical observation on the therapeutic effect of warm acupuncture on endometrial cavity fluid from in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer].

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of warm acupuncture on endometrial cavity fluid (ECF) from in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET), and to explore the mechanism of warm acupuncture on ECF.

Methods: Twenty-nine patients who were prepared for IVF-ET from 2016 to 2019 and whose transplantation was cancelled due to ECF found by vaginal B-ultrasound examination were divided into an observation group (14 cases) and a control group (15 cases) according to random number table method. The warm acupuncture was applied at Zhongwan (CV 12), Qihai (CV 6), Guanyuan (CV 4), Zhongji (CV 3), Guilai (ST 29), Zigong (EX-CA 1), Zusanli (ST 36), Sanyinjiao (SP 6) after the end of menstruation in the observation group, the treatment lasted for 60 min, once a day, 5 times as a course, with 2 days interval between the courses and 3 consecutive courses of treatment were given, until the embryo transfer was performed in the IVF assisted pregnancy cycle.

[Calcium ionophore induces the differentiation of chronic myeloid leukemia cells into dendritic cells].

The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of calcium ionophore (CI ) to induce the differentiation of CML cells into dendritic cells (DC), to analyze the P210 expression in DCs and to evaluate the stimulatory effect of CML-DC on production of cytotoxic activity against CML cells via activating the autologous T cells. The mononuclear cells were isolated from bone marrow of CML patients whose WBC counts were more than 30x10(9)/L when samples were collected, then the lymphocytes and monocytes were discarded by pouring out supernatant twice at different culture time point. Slightly adherent cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 containing 10% FCS, with or without CI (375 ng/ml) and GM-CSF (200 ng/ml) at 37 degrees C, 5% CO2, fully humidified atmosphere for 96 hours.
