ABSTRACT
In recent years，with the change in lifestyle and social environment and the increase in pressure in both life and work，male fertility has decreased significantly in China，and the incidence of male infertility has increased year by year，which has brought great challenges to andrologists. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has a definite curative effect in the treatment of male infertility and is widely applied in clinical practice. In order to clarify the role of TCM in different types and each stage of male infertility，the China Association of Chinese Medicine （CACM） invited outstanding young andrologists in the clinic of TCM and western medicine to discuss topics such as idiopathic oligospermia and teratospermia，abnormal semen liquefaction，varicocele，immune infertility，improving success ratio of assisted reproductive technology，and ameliorating depression or anxiety. They conducted in-depth discussions on the advantages，characteristics，disadvantages，diseases responding specifically，and advantageous aspects of TCM treatment. The causes of male infertility and related links of treatment were summarized. Due to the unclear etiology and complex pathogenesis of male infertility，western medicine cannot achieve a good curative effect，while TCM，taking the holistic view as the core，specializes in improving functional diseases and can correspond to multiple targets and factors，with comprehensive treatments such as internal treatment and external treatment. This study summarized the advantageous diseases and advantageous stages of TCM treatment alone and integrated TCM and western medicine treatment and put forward suggestions for the treatment of the diseases by TCM and western medicine in order to promote the therapeutic effects and advantages of TCM among andrologists，increase mutual learning and communication between TCM and western physicians，provide patients with excellent and personalized treatment plans in clinical practice，and improve the curative effect of male infertility and fertility of males in China.
ABSTRACT
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a common disease in men. In recent years, it has become younger, which seriously affects the patients＇quality of life. A deep understanding of the pathogenesis of CP/CPPS will help the choice of treatment. Its pathogenesis is not only related to immune factors, but also related to local microcirculation disorders of the prostate, endocrine hormone imbalance, adjacent gut microbes and compression of lumbar intervertebral disc, but it has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, this article aims to review the pathogenesis of CP/CPPS and provide directions for its diagnosis and treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical and pathological characteristics and risk factors of the prognosis of Cardia cancer.Methods Clinical data of 52 cases of cardiac cancer patients who were treated by surgery and follow-up data were collected from June 2009 to August 2011.Factors influencing the prognosis of the patients were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis.Results The survival rates in 1,2,3years were 73％,54％,46％.Single factor analysis showed that there was a significant correlation between T stage,N stage,TNM stage,classification Siewert,MSLN and venous invasion.Stepwise Cox proportional hazard model showed that T stage,N stage and MSLN were independent risk factors.Peritoneal and liver were the main way of recurrence and metastasis.Peritoneal metastasis was related to T stage and lymph node invasion,while the liver metastasis was related to MSLN.The survival curves of patients with Kaplan-Meier showed that the survival period of patients with liver metastasis and peritoneal metastasis was significantly shortened.Conclusion Standardization of lymph node cleaning is a key factor affecting prognosis,D2 surgery should be an operation standard in cardia cancer.
