Abstract:

This study was designed to clarify whether the scent of peppermint influences work efficiency. Twenty female participated in this study (21.5+0.7yrs.). The psychomotor vigilance test (PVT) was applied to the participants for 10minutes in the room with peppermint oil and without the odor (control) to evaluate the work efficiency. The participants were asked to press a button located on the device, as soon as the visual stimuli appeared at random in PVT. Reaction time (RT) to visual stimulation was applied for evaluation of work efficiency. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was also used for subjective sensation. These experiments were performed in a different room and the order of measurement was at random. Some drops of peppermint oils were dripped on the filter paper in the diffuser and the oil was warmed by a miniature bulb from the bottom of the filter paper. This study was submitted to and approved by the ethic committee of Ehime University Graduate School of Medicine. Mean of RT was 264.6+36.5msec or 247.9+32.8msec in control or peppermint oil, respectively, and the mean RT of peppermint oil was significantly smaller. VAS showed 44.5+18.8 for control and 67.9+21.8 for peppermint, there was a significant difference between two groups. These results indicate that the work efficiency must increase by smelling the fragrance of peppermint oil. When workers feel tired, the scent of peppermint may be able to change their mood

Abstract:

Infertility is inability to become pregnant after one year of unprotected regular intercourse. Male infertility related to sperm is associated with childhood diseases, systemic illnesses, surgeries, allergies, drugs and gonad toxins (chemical or environmental). The sample need 48h of abstinence, a volume of 1,5ml, 15´000.000/ml of sperm cells, 58% with vital forms, 32% with fast progression, 40% with motility, 40% with normal morphology. Infertility affects 15% of couples and in Latin America, the male factor is involved in 52% of the cases. This work makes a retrospective revision of 20 patients with a diagnosis of oligospermia as the main cause of infertility, treated previously with conventional procedures and therapies, without positive outcomes. An integrative protocol of CAM which included diet, exercise, clothing, work environment, alimentary supplements, homeopathic medicine, ozone therapy and few sessions of intratesticulate neural therapy was applied. After that protocol 90% of cases have positive outcomes in sperm quality and resolution of infertility.

Abstract:

Object: To acquire a better therapeutic prescription against opportunistic fungal infection for patients with immuno-deficient or immuno-inhibitory diseases, the analysis on etiological fungi purified from the cutaneous and mucous membrane lesions of diagnosed 59 patients with secondary mycoses and then the effective study of traditional medical (TCM) differentiated treatment including acupuncture-moxibustion (acu-Mox.) and herbal formulas on them were made.

Methods: It included the purifying test of fungal species from diagnosed 59 patients’ sample (lesions, serum-cerebral-spinal fluid and excretion) by in the laboratory, the compared relationship between etiological fungi and initial disorders that caused the secondary mycoses, TCM differentiated diagnoses and prescribed acupuncture-Mox., and herbal treatment on them, and finally statistical analysis on the pre- and post-treatment of the differentiated therapy.

Results: The statistical analysis of the results between pre- and post- TCM differentiated therapy on each group of 59 patients with opportunistic mycoses showed that the effective cure percent of 15 cases with malignant tumor was 95.03±0.53%, of 21 cases who took long-term corticosteroid and antibiotics medication 96.05±1.32%, of 5 cases with Kwashiorkor disease- like malnutrition 93.02±0.52%, of 3 cases with HIV infection 98.05±1.37% and of 15 cases with type 2-Diabetes mellitus 91.07±1.22%, and all groups acquired significant improvement of their health state after finished the ant-fungal treatment including antifungal chemical and TCM differentiated therapies. Conclusion: The results suggested that TCM differentiated therapy worked on not only eradicating external and internal pathogenic factors of antifungal treatment but also improvement of physical (anti- pathogenic-Qi) righteousness-related systemic health. So it may be a reasonable choice for clinically anti- opportunistic fungal program.

Abstract:

Fertility in mammalian females is dependent on the growth of follicles, structural units consisting of an oocyte, granulosa cells, and theca cells with an extracellular matrix separating the cell layers. The ovaries play the key roles in reproduction and any impairment in their functions can result in either sterility or infertility. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) plays a very important role in health keeping. Alternative holistic therapies, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, offer less invasive and less costly physical and emotional treatment compared with standard Western medical treatment. However, awareness of TCM therapy for infertility is generally low and often not suggested by Western Medical practitioners. Western medical treatment could depress the blood pressure rapidly and surely through reducing blood volume and dilating blood vessels, while traditional medicine (TM) shows its superiorities in alleviating clinical symptoms, improving patients' quality of life, lessening or reversing the damage on terminal organs and preventing the occurrence of a serious complication.
