Objective To observe the effects of Taohechengqitang combined with danazol on CA125 and gonadal hormone in the treatment of patients with endometriosis.Methods 77 cases from July 2014 to January 2015 in department of obstetrics and gynecology of Daqing Longnan hospital were selected and divided into observation group of 40 cases and control group of 37 cases according to double-blind randomized.The observation group were treated with Taohechengqitang joint danazol treatment, and the control group were treated with danazol alone.The estradiol ( E2 ) , progestogen (P), cancer antigen 125 (CA125), thromboxane B2 (TXB2), endometrial cysts size and dysmenorrheal score pre-and post-treatment between two groups were compared.Results The contents of E2 and P post-treatment in observation group were lower than those in control group (P<0.05).The serum TXB2 and CA125 levels post-treatment in observation group were lower than those in control group (P<0.05).The endometrial cysts size and dysmenorrheal score post-treatment in observation group were lower than those in control group (P<0.05).The total efficacy in observation group was higher than that in control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Taohechengqitang combined with Danazol could reduce the CA125, E2 and P levels, relieve symptoms of dysmenorrhea and reduce the cyst volume, whose efficacy is exact.

Objective To study the effect of combination of Hydrochlorothiaside (HCTZ) with Captopril or spironolactone on serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in hypertension patients. Methods A multi-centre, random and parallel control study was applied in this study. Slight and moderate hypertension patiens were se-lected. The patients were treated with placebo for two weeks and HCTZ 12.5 mga day for 6 weeks,wbo were then randomly divided into HCTZ group(12.5 mg once a day), spironolactone group(HCTZ 12.5 mg once a day + Spi-ronolactone 20 rag once a day) and captopril group(HCTZ 12.5 mg once a day + Captopril 25 rag twice a day) . By the end of one-year follow up, HCTZ group was randomly added to Spironolactone group and Captopril group because combination therapy was superior to single medication,which was recognized. During the treatment, the patients were followed up once a month ,for monitoring blood pressure, and serum hsCRP level was measured every year. Follow-up last for 4 years. By the end of 4 years, the patients were divided into treatment group and control group in order to compare the changes of serum hsCRP levels. Results At the end of 4 years, the blood pressure and serum hsCRP level were significantly decreased as compared with baseline, and were statistically different from that of control group (P <0.05 or 0.01). Multi-factor analysis showed that pre-treatment systolic blood pressue and serum hsCRP level, post-treatment decrease value of systolic blood pressue and age were the major influencing factors for the de-crease of serum hsCRP level(P < 0.05 for each). Conclusion The long-term combinaion of HCTZ with Spironolactone or Captopril not only effectivley decreases blood pressure but also decreases serum hsCRP level. The decrease value of systolic blood pressure is the major factor for influencing serum hsCRP level.
