Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2017;36(5):578-580
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of PHENIX electrical stimulation in preventing complications after missed abortion.Method A thousand patients receiving uterine cavity operation on missed abortion were randomized into two groups, 500 cases in each group. Patients in the two groups were asked to orally take Estradiol valerate, successively for 3 d prior to the operation. Right after the operation, the treatment group started to receive electrical stimulation at Guanyuanshu (BL 26) and Guanyuan (CV 4) via PHENIX USB 4/8 neuromuscular stimulation therapeutic apparatus, together with conventional preventive anti-inflammatory treatment; the control group only received the conventional preventive anti-inflammatory treatment after the operation. The colporrhagia duration and the resumption of menstruation in the two groups were observed, and the menstruation, postoperative adhesion ratio and adhesion rate were compared between the two groups.Result There were significant differences in comparing the duration of colporrhagia and the time of the resumption of menstruation after the operation between the two groups (P<0.05); there were significant differences in comparing the postoperative menstruation, intrauterine adhesion ratio and adhesion rate between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion PHENIX electrical stimulation can shorten the time of colporrhagia after missed abortion, promote the resumption of menstruation, and effectively prevent intrauterine adhesions.

Objective To elucidate the role of insulin receptor and its ?-subunit autophosphorylation in evoking insulin resistance in non-obese type 2 diabetes. Methods 14 patients with non-obese type 2 diabetes and 12 healthy subjects were enrolled in this study. Insulin receptor numbers and its insulin affinity in erythrocytes were measured using radio-labelled ligand binding assay described by Comi et al. Insulin receptor autophosphorylation in erythrocytes membrane was initiated by adding insulin and ?- 32 P ATP. Then the membrane proteins were resolved on 7 5% SDS-PAGE and subjected to autoradiography. Results The numbers of high and low affinity receptors in erythrocytes of type 2 diabetes were 21?13 and 955?427 per cell respectively, and they showed no significant difference as compared with control. The high affinity constant(K 1) and low affinity constant(K 2) of insulin receptors in erythrocytes of type 2 diabetes were (1 70?0 93)?10 -9 LM -1 and (1 44?0 86)?10 -7 LM -1 respectively, also displaying no significant difference in comparison with the control. Insulin-induced receptor ? subunit autophosphorylation was 8 02?5 6△A/mg protein in type 2 diabetes, which was lower than that (28 38?15 24)△A/mg protein) in control(P
