Objective To study the effect of Jieyuyubao prescription on endometrial pinopodes and HOXa-10 mRNA in chronic stress rats , and reveal the regulatory mechanisms of the endometrial receptivity. Methods Totally 48 SPF SD rats were randomly divided into three groups with weight stratified: normal control group (group A), model control group (group B) and experimental drug group (group C). Rat model of chronic stress was established in group B and group C. On the first day of stimulation, Jieyuyubao solution (1 g·mL-1 ) was intragastrically administered (11. 8 mL·kg-1 ) to the rats of group C at 9:00 am, once daily, and stopped giving at the fourth day of pregnancy (pd4) after being confirmed by vaginal smears. Purified water (11. 8 mL·kg-1 ) was intragastrically administered to the rats of group A and group B at 9:00 am. All the rats were mated at the sex ratio of female:male = 2:1 at 16:00 pm on the 21st day. The rats were sacrificed at the pd4. Maturity of endometrium pinopodes was assessed under transmission electron microscope. HOXa-10 mRNA content was evaluated by real-time fluorescence-PCR. Results The maturity of pinopodes was as follows: the maturity score of normal control group, model control group and experimental group was (2. 7 ± 0. 3), (1. 3 ± 0. 3), and (2. 1 ± 0. 2), respectively, with significant difference between experimental drug group and model control group (P<0. 05). HOXa-10 mRNA expression was significantly decreased in model control group (0. 658±0. 031) as compared with normal control group (0. 965±0. 102) (P<0. 05). Conclusion Jieyuyubao prescription maybe increase the number and maturity of pinopodes through promoting HOXa-10 mRNA expression in endometrial epithelium cells, and then improve endometrial receptivity.

Objective To explore the association between rs3758539G-803A and rs10882283 T-179G polymorphism of retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) and rosiglitazone response in Chinese type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.Methods A total of 472 Chinese T2DM patients and 198 healthy subjects were enrolled to identify G-803A and T-179G genotypes using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP ).assay.Forty-two T2DM patients with different G-803A or T-179G genotypes were selected to undergo a 12-week rosiglitazone treatment (4 mg/d).Serum fasting plasma glucose (FPG),postprandial plasma glucose (PPG),fasting serum insulin (FINS),glycated hemoglobin (HbAlc),postprandial serum insulin ( PINS),triglyceride (TG),low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ( LDL-c),and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c) were determined before and after the rosiglitazone treatment.Results T2DM patients with RBP4 G-803A GG genotype showed lower TG and LDL-c concentrations compared with that in the GA +AA genotype subjects.T2DM patients with RBP4 T-179G TT genotype showed lower waist-to-hip ratio (WHR),FPG and FINS values compared with that in the TG + GG genotype individuals.Patients with GG genotype of RBP4 G-803A had an enhanced rosiglitazone efficacy on FPG and FINS compared with that in the GA + AA genotype group.Patients with RBP4 T179G TG + GG genotype showed an enhanced rosiglitazone efficacy on HbAlc level compared with that in the TT genotype group.Conclusion RBP4 G-803A and T-179G polymorphism might be associated with the development of T2DM and affect the therapeutic efficacy of rosignitazone in Chinese T2DM patients.

Influenza A virus (HINI) 2009, a new swine-origin influenza A virus, has been spread worldwidely and causedgreat public fear. High-throughput transcriptomics and proteomies methods are now being used to identify H1N1and H1N1-host interaction. This article reviews recent transcriptomics and proteomics research in H1N1 diagnosis,treatment, and H1N1 virus-host interaction, to offer some help for further understanding the infection mechanismand controlling H1N1 transmission.
