Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To study the preventive and therapeutic effect and its mechanism of medicine pair decoction liquid of Curcuma phaeocaulis-Sparganium stoloniferum on rats with uterine myoma. METHODS:Rats were randomly divided into normal group,model group,positive group(mifepristone,2.25 mg/kg)and medicine pair decoction liquid group(C. phaeocaulis-S. stolon-iferum decoction liquid,6.0 g/kg),10 in each group. Except for the normal group,rats in other groups were injected Estradiol ben-zoate injection (0.5 mg/kg) intramuscularly every Monday,Wednesday and Friday,for 12 weeks. From the 13th week,rats in modeling group were added Progesterone injection(5 mg/kg)intramuscularly as well as relevant medicines intragastrically,once a day,until the 16th week. After administration,uterine coefficient of rats was detected. HE staining was used to observe the patho-logical changes of uterus and determine the thickness of smooth muscle;immunohistochemical staining was adopted to detect the transforming growth factor β3 (TGF-β3),matrix metalloproteinase 11 (MMP-11) protein expressions in uterus tissue of rats. RE-SULTS:Compared with normal group,uterine coefficient was increased in model group,pathological changes were obvious in uterus,thickness of smooth muscle was increased,TGF-β3 and MMP-11 protein expressions were enhanced(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group,above-mentioned changes were improved significantly in positive group and medicine pair decoction liquid groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Medicine pair decoction liquid of C. phaeocaulis-S. stoloniferum shows cer-tain preventive and therapeutic effect on rats with uterine myoma. The mechanism may be associated with downregulating the TGF-β3,MMP-11 protein expressions in uterus tissue.
