ABSTRACT
Objectiveï¼ To observe roproductive hormone levels in varicocele patients during a cycle (6 years) of Wu Yun Liu Qi, and explore whether the cycle had effect on the roproductive hormone levels. Methodsï¼ Data of roproductive hormone levels in varicocele patients from 2015 to 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. FSHãLHãTãPRLãE2 levels and T/E2 ratio were compared among the six years. According to Chinese sexagenary cycle heavenly stems and earthly branches of each year from 2015 to 2020 its yunqi characteristics were determined. Results: Totally data of 848 cases of varicocele patients were collected from 2015 to 2020. Among which, in 2015 (Yiwei year) there were 57 cases, in 2016 (Bingshen year) 83 cases, in 2017 (Dingyou year ) 133 cases, in 2018(Wuxu year) 156 cases, in 2019(Sihai year) 274 cases, and in 2020(Gengzi year) 145 cases. The levels of FSHãLHãPRLãT were not diferrent statistically from the six years except individual year. However, the level of E2 in 2016 when the Yunqi was Shao Yang Xiang Huo Si Tian and Jue Yin Feng Mu Zai Quan obviously higher than other years excpet 2018( All P< 0.05). And T/E2 ratio was lower in 2016 than other years except 2018 and 2020( All P< 0.05). Conclusions: Shi Xiang factors of Wu Yun Liu Qi had effect on roproductive hormone levels in varicocele patients, showing by higher E2 level in Yinshen year when the Shi Xiang factors may have bad effect on human fertility.

Objectiveï¼ To verify statements about the effect of five evolutive phases and six climatic factors in ãhuang di nei jingã on pregnancy and sterility. Methodsï¼ Data of missed abortion from Nanjing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital between 2006-2020 and Yangzhou Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital between 2012-2020 were collected. According to Chinese sexagenary cycle heavenly stems and earthly branches of each year between 2006-2020 was determined. And then based on the heavenly stems and earthly branches, evolutive phases and six climatic factors of each year were established. After that data of missed abortion in each year was compared. According to relative statements in ãhuang di nei jingã , it was observed whether the number of missed abortion cases in someone year increased significantly. Results: Totally there were 28059 cases of missed abortion from the two hospital were collected between 2006-2020 and 2012-2020 respectively. It was found that in the year of Shaoyang phase fire sitian and Jueyin wind wood in the spring (that is the year of 2010 and 2016) the number of missed abortion cases was higher obviously than the other year. When the year of Taiyang cold water in the spring (that is the year of 2009 and 2015), there was a relatively increased number of missed abortion cases. Conclusions: Five evolutive phases and six climatic factors have impacts on human pregnancy and sterility. It was an adverse condition for human reproduction in the year of Shaoyang phase fire sitian and Jueyin wind wood in the spring as well as Taiyang cold water in the spring. Until to now we can still verify statements about the effect of five evolutive phases and six climatic factors on pregnancy and sterility in ãhuang di nei jingã.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of bilateral microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy (BMSV) in patients with asthenozoospermia or oligozoospermia. METHODS: Totally 147 patients with male infertility received BMSV from January 2018 to May 2019, of whom 109 had complete data recorded. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data, including the total sperm count per ejeculate, sperm concentration and sperm motility before and after surgery, and the rate of natural conception achieved during the follow-up. RESULTS: BMSV achieved a total effectiveness rate of 79.00% in improving the percentage of progressively motile sperm (a rise of ≥20%) and a marked effectiveness rate of 70.00% (a rise of ≥50%) in the 100 cases of asthenozoospermia as compared with the baseline, with a mean recovery time of (110.13 ± 37.43) days. Besides, a total effectiveness rate of 74.29% (an increase of ≥20%) and a marked effectiveness rate of 71.43% (an increase of ≥50%) were attained in the improvement of sperm concentration in the 35 cases of oligozoospermia, with a mean recovery time of (117.00 ± 48.79 ) days. A natural conception rate of 30.30% was observed during the follow-up. No severe adverse events occurred postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: BMSV is significantly effective for the treatment of asthenozoospermia and oligozoospermia.
