title: [A microcomputerized pulsed water-sac massage with drug penetration instrument for treatment of male patients with immunity infertility accompanied by chronic seminal vesiculitis].
abstract: 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.
