ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the characteristics and efficacy of manual treatment for postpartum hypogalactia.Methods To retrieve the CNKI from 2007 to 2017 on the massage and manual treatment for postpartum hypogalactia,and analyze its syndrome differentiation,acupoint selection,manipulation rules,treatment frequency,treatment courses and clinical efficacy.Results Among the 83 articles included,the massage therapy for postpartum hypogalactia were based on the diseases and syndromes,and the selection of acupoints was diverse and combined with local and distance such as Danzhong (CV 17),Rugen (ST 18),Shaoze (SI 1),Zusanli (ST 36),Pishu (BL 20).The therapy were rich in techniques which often use acupoint stimulation and manipulation.Conclusions Tuina therapy for postpartum hypogalactia is widely used with safety and reliablility.But the operational procedures and efficacy standards need to be further standardized.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss Bushen Huoxue Prescription mechanism of action on follicular granulosa cell apoptosis of premature ovarian failure (POF) mice. Methods The mouse zona pellucida 3 as the antigen, multi-point injection of subcutaneous immunization BALB/c to female mice was used to establish autoimmune POF model. Forty clean female mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, Estradiol Valerate group and Bushen Huoxue Prescription group. All medicine groups were given relevant medicine for gavage, while model and blank groups were given normal saline with the same amount for gavage for 15 days. After the treatment, ovary, uterus, and thymus were weighed, and the viscera index was calculated. An ovarian slice was taken and HE staining was used to observe granulosa cell apoptosis. The levels of E2, LH, and FSH were detected by using the radioimmunoassay method. RT-PCR was used to analyze Fas and Fas-L mRNA expressions in ovarian granulosa cells. Results Compared with blank group, the weight of ovary, thymus, and uterus decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01);Serum E2 level dropped (P<0.01);levels of FSH and LH, and expressions of Fas and Fas-L mRNA increased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with model group, granulosa cell apoptosis significantly decreased, and ovary index, uterus index, and thymus index increased (P<0.05);serum E2 level increased (P<0.01);levels of FSH and LH, and expressions of Fas and Fas-L mRNA significantly decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion Bushen Huoxue Prescription can decrease expressions of Fas and Fas-L mRNA to inhibit cell apoptosis by adjusting the hormone level of hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarianaxis.
