OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the difference of phlebitis induced by Alprostadil injection with different ad-ministration routes,and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical rational use. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed,EM-Base,Cochrane Library,CBM,CJFD,VIP and Wanfang database,RCTs about phlebitis induced by Alprostadil injection with dif-ferent administration routes were collected. Meta-analysis was conducted by Rev Man 5.2 statistical software after literature screen-ing,data extraction and quality evaluation according to Cochrane System Evaluator's Manual 5.1.0. RESULTS:A total of 20 RCTs were included,involving 2562 patients. The results of Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of phlebitis induced by intravenous injection was significantly higher than that induced by intravenous dripping [OR=4.11,95%CI(1.59,10.67),P=0.004] and intrave-nous pump [OR=3.50,95%CI(1.50,8.16),P=0.004]. The incidence of phlebitis induced by general apparatus infusion was signifi-cantly higher than that induced by fine filtering infusion [OR=0.03,95%CI(0.01,0.08),P<0.001],with statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS:The incidence of phlebitis induced by low-concentration of Alprostadil injection or fine filtering infusion is low-er,and that of intravenous injection is higher.

OBJECTIVETo observe clinical efficacy of plum-blossom needle for follicular maldevelopment (FM).
METHODSFifty cases of FM were randomly divided into a plum-blossom needle group and a medication group, 25 cases in each one. In the plum-blossom needle group, the plum-blossom needle was applied along Thoroughfare, Conception, Governor and Belt Vessel as well as at Pishu (BL 20), Weishu (BL 21), Shenshu (BL 23), Luanchao (Extra), Zigong (EX-CA 1) during the follicular growth phase, once every other day. In the medication group, clomifene (CC) was prescribed for oral administration and human choriogonadotropin (HCG) was given by intramuscular injection, once each day. For both groups, one menstrual cycle constituted one course. After two courses of treatment, follicular development condition, the changes of endometrial thickness and morphology, ovarian resistent index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI), rate of ovulation and pregnancy were compared between the two groups.
RESULTSAfter the treatment, the average diameters of the biggest follicle increased in both groups, while the endometrial thickness and morphology in the plum-blossom needle group were superior to those in the medication group (all P < 0.05). Ovarian RI and PI during mature follicular phase in the plum-blossom needle group were inferior to those in the medication group (both P < 0.05). The differences in ovulation and pregnancy rate were not significant statistically between the two groups (both P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe plum-blossom needle therapy based on regulating Thoroughfare, Conception, Governor and Belt Vessel could improve the ovarian blood perfusion, promote the follicular growth, increase the ovulation rate of mature follicle and avoid the out-of-sync between growth of follicle and endometrium during the treatment of western medication.
