Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to report the spontaneous pregnancy of Jokyung-san-gagam treatments on two infertile patients who were failed to in intrauterine insemination (IUI) by three times. Methods: Two patients, in this case, were who failed three times IUI were treated with Jokyung-san-gagam, acupuncture and moxibustion. Results: The two infertile women achieved spontaneous pregnancy after taking Jokyung-san-gagam without assisted reproductive technology. Conclusions: These cases suggest that Jokyung-san-gagam is effective in treating infertile female after failure in IUI and can be an effective option for patients who were failed in IUI. For further study, the clinical approach on infertile patients that is based on Korean medicine treatment including Jokyung-san-gagam would be sustained.

Purpose : These experiments were undertaken to evaluate the effect of adminis tration of JokyungSan on ovarian functions and differential gene expressions related cell viabilities caspase-3, MAPK and MPG in female mice. Methods : We administered the JokyungSan to 6-week-old female ICR mice for 4, 8, or 12 days. The female mice were injected PMSG and hCG for ovarian hyperstimulation. We chose the caspase-3 for cell apoptosis, MAPK and MPG genes for cell viability and DNA repair. To compare the differences, we set a control group treated with plain water at the same volume by the same way. Results : In case of 4-day administration of JokyungSan, the mean number of total ovulated oocytes and the number of morphologically normal oocytes increased significantly compared to a control group. The administration of JokyungSan, were beneficial effect of embryonic development in preimplantation period and play a role of prevention of cell apoptosis and DNA damages and also increased cell proliferation resulted in ovarian functions. Conclusion : From our results suggested that the medication of JokyungSan has beneficial effect on reproductive functions of female mice via prevention of cell apoptosis and DNA damaging and promotion of cell proliferation.
