Therapeutic Mechanism and Clinical Observation of Traditional Chinese Medicine Combined with Interventional Recanalization for Tubal Infertility

To observe the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) combined with interventional recanalization therapy in the treatment of tubal obstructive infertility, first, different treatment approaches were used on rabbits, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that interventi...

Moreover, ELISA disclosed that the treatment could significantly reduce the levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and increase the expression of interleukin-10 (IL-10), which demonstrated that TCM therapy can help against inflammation of the fallopian tubes.
