1.Treatment and mechanism study of electromagnetic stimulation and vibrational massage for patients with ejaculatory incompetence.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2004;21(1):74-80
Studies on the effective methods and mechanism for the treatment of patients with functional ejaculatory incompetence were pursued on the basis of clinical practice. 90 patients with functional ejaculatory incompetence were treated by giving the electromagnetic stimulation to their pudendal nerve and the vibrational massage to their penis. Then the excitation conductive time and velocity of their pudendal nerve were simultaneously determined by the electro-neurophysiology technique. Of the 90 patients with functional ejaculatory incompetence, 69(76.7%) obtained cured effects, 19(21.1%) notable effects and 2(2.2%) improved effects. The total effective rate was 100%. The excitation conductive time and velocity of their pudendal nerve were both significantly different from those before treatment (P < 0.05). These suggest that it is practical to reach the ejaculatory threshold, trigger the ejaculatory reflex and complete the process of ejaculation because the nerve with improved excitational conductibility may release more acetylcholine from is endings after the electromagnetic stimulation to nerve and the vibrational massage to penis.

2.A microcomputerized pulsed water-sac massage with drug penetration instrument for treatment of male patients with immunity infertility accompanied by chronic seminal vesiculitis.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2003;20(3):460-462
This article describes the development of an innovative microcomputerized pulse-water-sac massage with drug penetration instrument and reports its effectiveness in the patients with immunity infertility accompanied by chronic seminal vesiculitis. The instrument was developed on the basis of the pathological characteristics of immunity infertility accompanied by chronic seminal vesiculitis, and along the lines of our practice in integrating the modern theory of traditional Chinese medicine, with multiple techniques of biomedical engineering sciences. 181 male patients with immunity infertility accompanied by chronic seminal vesiculitis received the treatment. Of these cases, 135(74.6%) were cured, 37(20.4%) were treated with significant therapeutic effects and 9(5.0%) with improved effects. The results of antisperm antibody (AsAb) tests became negative in 85.6% of the patients after treatment, and the pregnancy rate of their wives was 49.1%. No mild adverse effects were observed in all cases.
