Background: Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a safe and effective endoscopic treatment for achalasia. However, postoperative pain management for these patients is often neglected by anesthesiologists because of the short operative time, short hospital stay and the minimally invasive nature of the procedure.
Aim: To assess the pain and sleep quality of achalasia patients receiving the POEM procedure and investigate factors that affect postoperative pain.
Objective: To investigate the mechanism of Xianfang Huoming Decoction (XHD) improving sperm motility in mice with asthenospermia (AS).
Methods: Thirty normal BALB/c mice were randomly divided into six groups, blank control, AS model control, low-dose XHD, medium-dose XHD, high-dose XHD and levocarnitine + vitamin E (LC+VE). The AS model was established in the latter five groups by injection of methotrexate at 0.
