Objective: To evaluate the clinical therapeutic effects of electroacupuncture at Shaoze (SI 1) for insufficient lactation after delivery, and further study the influence of this method on the different types of syndromes and on such patients of different ages.
Methods: The 92 cases of postpartum insufficient lactation were randomly divided into the treatment group (46 cases) and the control group (46 cases). The former was treated by electroacupuncture at bilateral Shaoze (SI 1), and the latter by electroacupuncture at bilateral Shangyang (LI 1). Both groups were treated for 2 courses, each course consisting of 5 times of treatment, and followed up for 1 month.
Results: The total effective rate of the treatment group and control group was 100% and 69.6% respectively, showing a significant difference (P < 0.01). For different types of syndromes and different ages of patients, the treatment group obtained a better effect than the control group in increasing lactation quantity and maintaining prolactin level with a significant difference (P < 0.01).
Conclusions: Electroacupuncture at Shaoze (SI 1) was obviously effective for postpartum insufficient lactation.

Background: Breastfeeding aversion response (BAR)and dysphoric milk ejection reflex (D-MER) are two examples of breastfeeding phenomena which present as negative emotional experiences of breastfeeding and lactation but are considered physiological in origin. D-MER presents as a sudden onset of dysphoria prior to and during milk ejection. BAR refers to unpleasant feelings and physical sensations during breastfeeding.

Maternal obesity in pregnancy and lactation is linked to metabolic disturbances and neurodevelopmental problems in offspring, increasing the risk of psychiatric disorders in adulthood. We proposed that maternal N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) supplementation during lactation, a critical period for neurodevelopment, potentially protects offspring from developing cognitive impairment in adulthood. Fifteen young female ICR mice were randomly allocated to different experimental groups: high-fat diet (HFD; 60.

This study aimed to develop a prognostic nomogram to predict the risk of delayed onset lactogenesis II (DOL II) in Chinese women who delivered via cesarean section. A total of 143 women who delivered via cesarean section in our hospital between June 2021 and May 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. A nomogram was constructed using the independent predictors extracted from the logistic regression analysis.
