To observe the effect of kidney reinforcing and blood nourishing herbal medicines in treating anovulatory sterility (AS) and its mechanism. Two hundred and seventy six cases of AS with hypopituitarism confirmed by the examination of blood sexual hormones were divided into three groups to receive the treatment of promoting ovulation. Group A was treated with modified Zhenwu Decoction and Reinforcing Qi and Nourishing Yin Powder (one dose per day) from the third day of menstrual cycle (MC) to the ovulating day; Group B with clomiphene (50mg/d) from the fifth day of MC, with human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) added, 10?000?U im in the day of follicle maturity and Group C with human menopausal gonadotrophin (HMG) 25 U/d im from the eighth day of MC and then with HCG added, 10 000 U im in the day of follicle maturity. After treatment, the cases were asked to have sexual intercourse for three nights. Ovulation time was monitored by ultrasound B imaging for one time every other day until follicle became maturity (1 8?cm?1 8?cm).Early pregnancy was detected by HCG test.Ninety three MC were ovulatory among 167 MC in Group A, the ovulation rate being 55 68%; 182 among 230 in Group B , the rate being 79 13% and 88 among 134 in Group C , the rate being 65 67%. Multisample ? 2 test showed that the ovulation rate in Group A was lower than that in Group B and Group C (? 2=9 345, P

Objective To investigate factors and neonatal outcomes associated with histologic chorioamnionitis(HCA) after preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM).Methods From January 2008 to January 2013,103 women with PPROM at 28-33+6 weeks of gestation undergoing deliveries were studied retrospectively.According to placental histopathologic findings,those patients were categorized into two groups,including 68 cases in histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA group) and 35 cases in non-chorioamnionitis (control group).Age,parity,gestational age of PPROM and delivery,latency period,oligohydramnios,white blood cell (WBC) count and serum C reactive protein (CRP) level at admission and before delivery,and the neonatal outcomes were compared between two groups.The risk factors were analyzed by multivariable Logistic regression analysis.Results The incidence of HCA was 66.0％ (68/103) in all cases with PPROM.The occurring ruptured membrane gestation in HCA group was (28.2 ± 1.2) weeks,which were significantly earlier than (32.3 ± 1.4) weeks in control group (P ＜ 0.05).The level of CRP of (8.3 ± 4.7) mg/L before dehvery in HCA group was significantly higher than (5.4 ± 3.2) mg/L in control group (P ＜ 0.05).The rates of oligohydramnios and cesarean sections were significantly higher than those in control group (P ＜0.01 or ＜0.05).Using multivariable Logistic regression analysis,oligohydramnios,gestational age of PPROM ＜ 32 weeks,serum CRP level ＞ 8 mg/L before delivery and latency period 48-168 h were significantly associated with HCA (P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05).The gestational age of delivery and birth weight of HCA group were significantly lower than those of control group (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of Apgar ＜ 7 scores,abnormal brain ultrasonography findings,neonatal pneumonia,bronchopulmonary dysplasia,early-onset neonatal sepsis and mortality in HCA group were significantly higher than those in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions HCA has significantly correlated with lower gestational age of PPROM,higher serum CRP level before delivery,prolonged latency period and oligohydramnios in PPROM.HCA could increase the neonatal morbidity and mortality.

Methods The data of the schistosomiasis prevalence in human and cattle as well as Oncomelania hupensis snail status were collected and the change trends were analyzed in Yugan County from 2008 to 2012. Results The schistosome infection rates of residents in Yugan County have declined every year since 2008,and currently,the prevalence of schistosomiasis was at a low lev-el. No acute schistosomiasis case was found during the past 5 years. In 2012,the infection rate of bovine was above 1%in 88 en-demic villages,and the area with schistosome infected snails was 10 hm2. Conclusion In order to achieve the goal of schistosomi-asis transmission control in the whole county in 2015,the comprehensive control measures based on infection source control should be strengthened.

Objective To observe the effects of Shenhong (SH) combined with chemotherapeutic drugs on curative effect, symptoms improvement, and immunology function in metaphase or terminal cancer patients.Methods All 598 patients were divided into two groups. The control group had 205 patients treated with chemotherapeutic drugs. The SH-treated group had 393 patients treated with SH combined with chemotherapeutic drugs. Results Compared with control patients, the total remission was 42.0% in SH-treated patients. The improvement rates of pain, cough, debilitation, and anepithymia were 71.9%. The Karnofsky grade was increased by 27.0%. CD+3 and CD+4 were increased by 11.6% and 19.3%, but CD+8was decreased by 22.6% at the same time. The patients CD+4 / CD+8 was enhanced by 54.2%, while the NK cell activity and marophage phagocysis were significantly improved. The content of Ig G and Ig A were increased in the same group. Conclusion The curative effect of SH combined with chemotherapeutic drugs was higher than that of control group. The therapeutic effect of SH is explained by its potential regulation activity on immun system.

To research the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of glycinamide-bearing compounds that used as inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), P32/98 and compound A were chosen as the leading compounds, heterocycles containing nitrogen atom were introduced to form amide, and different residues on a-position of carbonyl were designed. The nineteen designed compounds were synthesized by a simple route and were evaluated as inhibitors of DPP-IV. All of the structures were characterized by 1H NMR and HRMS. The preliminary SAR result was obtained.

A novel series of benzyl urea analogues based on the structural modification of sorafenib were synthesized. Their in vitro antitumor activities against MX-1, HepG2, Ketr3 and HT-29 were evaluated using the standard MTT assay. While several target compounds showed inhibitory activity against multiple cancer cell lines, compound 9 was of particular interest, demonstrating IC50 values (5.69-13.6 micromol x L(-1)) comparable to those of sorafenib. Furthermore, compounds 20 and 23 showed more potent inhibitory activity against HT-29 and MX-1 when compared to sorafenib. In particular, compound 20 bearing the N-3-pyridyl moiety not only exhibited greater inhibitory activity against HT-29 cell line (IC50 3.82 micromol x L(-1)), but also had improved solubility at pH 7.2, is worthy of further investigation as a lead to identify novel antitumor agents.

Objective To investigate the correlation between gene polymorphism within human β defensin 1 (DEFB1) and fungal susceptibility to severe sepsis through case-control association study.Methods A total of211 patients with severe sepsis in ICU were enrolled in the present case control study. Sepsis in this study was diagnosed according to the definition of American College of Chest Physicians/Society of Critical Care Medicine Consensus Conference in 1992 and 2002. Based on the development of fungal infection during ICU stay, all 211 patients were divided into fungal infection group (Group Ⅰ) and control group (Group C). Alleles and genotypes of-1816A/G, -390A/T, -52A/G, -44C/G and-20A/G within DEFB1 gene were assayed in all 211 patients by means of DNA direct sequencing, Allele-specific PCR amplifications or high-throughput site-specific TaqMan assay. Genetic analysis was employed to calculate the distribution frequency of haplotypes. The correlation between the genomic variations (allele,genotype and haplotype) and fungal infection was analyzed by Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test.Odds ratio (OR) was employed to reflect the correlation degree of genetic factor with fungal susceptibility to severe sepsis. Results Group Ⅰ enrolled 80 patients, of whom 43 pstients were male, at age of (60.81 ± 18.30) years. Group C enrolled 131 patients, of whom 80 patients were male, at mean age of (60.42 ± 17.03) years. No significant difference was found between two groups in aspect of gender and age (P＞0.05). The genetic locus of -1816A/G, -390A/T, -52A/G, -44C/G and -20A/G of both groups were in agreement with Hardy Weinberg equilibrium. No significant difference was found between two groups in the distribution of allelic frequencies and genotype frequencies (P ＞0.05). No significant difference was found in the distribution frequency of four common haplotypes of the above five genetic locus such as AAACG, ATGCA, GTGGG and ATACG (all P ＞ 0.05). Conclusions Genetic locus of -1816A/G, -390A/T, -52A/G, -44C/G and-20A/G within DEFB1 gene have no correction with fungal infections in severe sepsis, suggesting that DEFB1 gene polymorphism may not serve as a key genetic marker for the predisposition to fungal infection in severe sepsis.

Objective To examine the effects of maternal rats exposed to chronic unpredictable stress before pregnancy on the behaviors and brain monamine of their adult male offspring.Methods Sixteen SD rats were divided into chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) group and controls.CUS rats were exposed to 21 days chronic unpredictable stressors ,and the controls were stress-free.Ten days after the last stressor, all the female rats were caged with sexually experienced males of the same strain.Then we performed the following experiments on the two months male progeny, sucrose consumption measuring anhedonia, Morris water maze measuring cognitive function and high performance liquid chromatography detecting the contents of monoamine.Results The sucrose consumption showed that both sucrose intake and sucrose consumption percentage of the control progeny were higher than those of the CUS progeny ( sucrose consumption: ( 10.23 ± 4.12 ) g vs ( 6.48 ± 3.19 ) g; sucrose consumption percentage: ( 85.43 ± 20.15 ) % vs (60.98 ± 24.65 ) % ) (P ＜ 0.05 ).The number of times crossing the removed hidden platform in the CUS progeny ( 1.64 ± 1.69) was significantly fewer than that in the control progeny (4.17±2.29 ) in Morris water maze (P ＜ 0.05 ).The contents of serotonin in the hypothalamus of CUS progeny ( ( 500.17 ± 80.94 ) ng/g tissue) was lower than that of the control progeny ( ( 569.63 ± 50.91 ) ng/g tissue) (P ＜0.05) ,while the norepinephrine in the hippocampus of CUS progeny( (2315.01 ± 1397.12) ng/g tissue) was higher than that of the control progeny( (907.56 ± 207.27) ng/g tissue) (P＜0.05) by high performance liquid chromatography.Conclusions Depression or stressful events before pregnancy of dams result in anhedonia, decreased spatial memory and abnormalities in brain monoamine of their adult male progeny.
