Objective:To study the effective treatment method for sterility. Methods: 126 cases with sterility were divided into three groups at random. 42 cases were in group A treated with Tiaojingcuyun pill, 38 cases group B were treated with clomophene as the control groups, and 46 cases were in group C with Tiaojingcuyun pill matching clomophene as the study group. Results: During 138 treatment periods 22 cases in group C got pregnancy. the rate of pregnancy was 47.83%. As compared with group A and group B, the rate of pregnancy increased obviously. There were significant differences among them ( P

Objective To observe the regulative effect of high dose of glucocorticoid (GC) on protein synthesis and mRNA transcription of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVN) so to ascertain whether there exists difference upon effect of GC either at high dose or at normal dose. Methods A total of 60 Wistar rats were divided into five groups, ie, blank control group, 10 -6 mol/L dexamethasone (DEX) group, 10 -9 mol/L DEX group, 9 g/L saline group and group that was treated with 10 -4 mol/L RU486 first and then with 10 -6 mol/L DEX. The drugs were given through femoral vein. CRH protein expression was measured by means of immunohistochemistry and laser confocal scanning microscophy (LCSM); CRH mRNA transcription level was investigated by in situ hybridization. Results There appeared positive CRH mRNA granules in cytoplasm of PVN after administration with 10 -6 mol/L DEX for 20 minutes but could be seen positive fluorescent granules of CRH protein 30 minutes later, which was reversed at an in advance blockage of GR, as was free in 10 -9 mol/L DEX group, 9 g/L saline group and blank control group. Conclusions High dose of GC can up regulate CRH gene expression in PVN and differs much from the traditional effect of GC at normal dose, as may be due to that high dose of GC exerts effects depending on membrane glucocorticoid receptor but normal dose of GC dose via iGR.

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether macrophages post trauma have inhibitory effect on normal T cells via direct cell to cell contact. METHODS: A murine amputation injury model was used, macrophages were harvested from abdominal cavity and treated with mitomycin-C to abrogate the secretion of cytokines. Separation of T cells from splenocytes in normal mice was performed using nylon column method. Mitomycin-C treated macrophages from control and traumatized mice were added into the normal T cell culture systems, then various parameters of T cell functions were determined. RESULTS: The production and secretion of interleukin 1 (IL-1), interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and prostaglandin E-2 (PGE-2) could be abrogated after macrophages were treated with 25 &mgr;g/mL mitomycin-C for 30 minutes. Mitomycin-C treated macrophages from traumatized mice could obviously suppress T lymphocyte transformation, IL-2 mRNA and IL-2Ralpha mRNA levels, IL-2 production, IL-2Ralpha expression, IL-2 mediated lymphocyte proliferation response of normal T cells, could not affect IL-2-IL-2R interaction but elevated suppressive action of Ts cells. Removal of Ts cells from T cells could almost abolish the inhibition of macrophages. CONCLUSIONS: Macrophages post trauma can suppress T cell functions by depressing IL-2 and IL-2Ralpha gene expression via direct cell to cell contact, and this effect may be mediated mainly by increasing the action of Ts cells.

OBJECTIVE: To study molecular mechanism of suppressive effect of macrophages posttrauma on T cell functions. METHODS: A murine closed trauma model was used, macrophages were harvested from the abdominal cavity and added into the culture system of T cells, which were separated from splenocytes in normal mice using nylon column. T cell functions and intracellular messenger molecules were determined. In addition, the effect of macrophages' removal from splenocytes of traumatized mice on T cell functions and intracellular messenger molecules was investigated. RESULTS: Macrophages posttrauma in vitro could obviously suppress ConA stimulated normal T cell functions such as T lymphocyte transformation, interleukin 2 (IL-2) production, IL-2 receptor alpha (IL-2Ralpha) expression, IL-2 mRNA and IL-2Ralpha mRNA levels, and elevate cAMP contents of activated normal T cells while decreasing cGMP contents, intracellular free calcium ([Ca(2+)]i) concentration and protein kinase C (PKC) activity. Removal of macrophages from splenocytes of traumatized mice could at certain degree reverse the suppression of T cell functions, decrease cAMP contents while increasing cGMP contents, [Ca(2+)]i concentration and PKC activity. CONCLUSIONS: Macrophages posttrauma may suppress T cell functions via altering messenger molecule levels in activated T cells.

Objective:To evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of Lacosamide add-on therapy in Chinese children with partial-onset seizures.Methods:SP848 was a global multicenter single-arm study involving 60 Chinese children with partial-onset seizures with the age of 4-17 years who were managed by Lacosamide add-on therapy at seven hospitals across China from April 2018 to May 2019.After treatment with at least two kinds of anti-seizure medications simultaneously or sequentially, partial seizures were still poorly controlled and Lacosamide oral solution (syrup) or tablets were added.The minimum initial oral dose was 2 mg/(kg·d), and the maximum allowable dose was 12 mg/(kg·d)or 600 mg/d during the study period.The dose was adjusted according to the tolerance and seizure control level of partial-onset seizures children.Seizure frequency and the median percentage change in partial-onset seizures per 28 days from baseline to the final visit were recorded, including 50% responder rate and 75% responder rate.Results:A total of 60 Chinese children with the mean age of 9.18 (4.00-15.40) years were included in this interim analysis, involving 39 males and 21 females.The mean course of epilepsy was 5.04 (0.50-15.20) years.A total of 43 patients (71.7%) still have been treated.One patient (1.7%) has completed the 6-12 months of follow-up, and 14 patients (23.3%) have completed the follow-up for less than 6 months.The median change in the frequency of partial seizures every 28 days from baseline to the last visit was -2.91, with its median percentage as -25.46%, and the proportions of ≥50%, while ≥75% responder rate were 40.0% and 28.3%, respectively.A total of 52 patients (86.7%) had 265 treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE), 11 patients (18.3%) had 19 serious TEAE, 37 patients (61.7%) had 127 drug-related TEAE, and 11 patients (18.3%) had 16 TEAE leading to the discontinuation of the trial.The most common TEAE were upper respiratory tract infections (20 cases, 33.3%), followed by drowsiness (16 cases, 26.7%), dizziness (15 cases, 25.0%) and vomiting (13 cases, 21.7%). There were no abnormal changes in the electrocardiographic findings during the treatment.Conclusions:For Chinese patients with partial seizures who are older than the age of 4 years and poorly controlled by other drugs, Lacosamide is effective and well tolerated as an add-on therapy drug.The safety characteristics are consistent with those reported in children and adults.No new safety concerns are identified.
