RESUMO
Zishen Tiaochong therapy can improve the function of corpus luteum.The function of corpus luteum has close correlation with vasculogenesis in which the bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells(EPCs)were involved.This implies the Zishen Tiaochong therapy may be correlative to vasculogenesis in corpus luteum via mobilizing bone marrow-derived EPCs.In this paper,based on the TCM theory of 'kidney(Shen) storing essence,producing bone marrow,controlling reproduction',we review the topic of Zishen Tiaochong therapy perfects the function of corpus luteum combined the new mechanisms of research advances in vasculogenesis.The possible mechanisms of promoting vasculogenesis in corpus luteum by Zishen Tiaochong therapy were discussed and analyzed.
