Methods： We collected cervical secretions from patients and examined levels of SIgA and IFN- γ. Results： Levels of SIgA and IFN- γ in the infected group were lower than those in the uninfected group, P1〈0.05 and P2〈0.05. The level of SIgA and IFN- γ in C.t,UU and C.t＋UU infected groups were not significantly different. Comparing the negative-changed group with thenonnegative-changed group, the level of SIgA and IFN-γ was 39.22±20.04mg/L and 103.19±29.94pg/ml, 26.00±10.56mg/I and 88.21±15.10pg/ml, P1〉0.05 and P2〉0.05. Conclusion： SIgA and IFN-γ secreted by genital tractmucosa may help prevent and resist local NGU infection.However, the effect is limited, and is insufficient to eliminate infection completely and prevent reinfection.展开更多
Since 1999, the authors have used electricacupuncture to treat 36 cases of female urethralsyndrome with good therapeutic effects as comparedto that of the routine treatment. The following is areport of it.
Among 180 patients with female urethral syndrome, 128 were treated by acupuncture and moxibustion and 52 by western medicine as controls. The short-term effective rate in the acupuncture and moxibustion group was 90.6...Among 180 patients with female urethral syndrome, 128 were treated by acupuncture and moxibustion and 52 by western medicine as controls. The short-term effective rate in the acupuncture and moxibustion group was 90.6% and the long-term effective rate, 80.4%; whereas the short-term effective rate of the control group was 26.9% (P 0.05). Sixty-nine cases from the acupuncture and moxibustion group and 39 from the control group were subjected before and after treatment to determinations of the maximal bladder pressure, maximal abdominal pressure, bladder-neck pressure, and maximal urethral closure pressure during urination. All these indexes were decreased remarkably in the acupuncture and moxibustion group, while no changes were observed in the control group.展开更多
