Objective To investigate clinical effect of kidney essence granule on DNA intergrity in patients with idiopathic weak sperm.Methods 110 cases of idiopathic weak sperm disease in outpatient service of male infertility were selected, and divided into 3 groups using random number table method, treatment group (n=40) treated with strong kidney essence granule and control group (n=40) by Wuzi Yanzong pill treatment, blank control group (n =30) given placebo treatment.Semen parameters and sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) differences were compared within groups. Results The efficacy of treatment group was significantly higher than control group and blank control group, and control group was significantly higher than blank control group, the differences were all statistically significant (P<0.05).There was no significant difference among the 3 groups of patients within semen volume, liquefaction time, a,(a+b),(a+b+c) grade sperm percentage, seminal plasma fructose and acid phosphatase level pre-and post-treatment.Pre-treatment, sperm density, sperm abnormality rate, α-glycosides and DFI were not significantly different among the 3 groups.Post-treatment, sperm density in treatment group was significantly higher than that in control group, and sperm deformity rate and DFI were significantly lower than that in control group, and that in control group was significantly lower than that in blank control group (P <0.05) .Pearson correlation analysis showed that the sperm density was negatively correlated with DFI(r=-0.354), and the sperm deformity rate was positively correlated with DFI(r=0.324).Conclusion The main reason for abnormal DNA integrity are renal dysfunction, and kidney essence granule can be used as an effective medicine to improve the integrity of sperm DNA.

Objective: To investigate the effects of the combination of imbalanced branched-chain amino acids and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on nutritional and survival condition of tumor-bearing rats. Methods: The SD rats were each given a catheterization of jejunostomy and an inoculation of Walker-256 carcinosarcoma cells subcutaneously. Forty-eight rats were randomized into 4 groups: Group A (balance amino acid + NS), Group B (balance amino acid + 5-FU), Group C (valine-depleted amino acid + 5-FU), and Group D (complex amino acid of valine-depleted and leucine-supplemented + 5-FU). The change of rat′s weight, main organ weights, serum prealbumin (PA) and transferrin (TF) concentration were investigated.In addition, rat′s survival time was observed. Results: The loss of rat′s weight in group C was significantly increased compared with group A and B (P

Objective To explore the etiology of and timing for operation of acalculous biliary acute pancreatitis(ABAP).MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the etiology study and treatment experience of 38 cases of ABAP.ResultsThirteen cases underwent a surgery, including 6 early operations for complicated biliary tract infection without morbidity and mortality, 5 middle staged patients (5～14 days after onset of ABAP) underwent surgery because of intraabdominal indications with one postoperative death and 2 late operations for severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) resulted in one postoperative death of sepsis. The total postoperative mortality rate was 15%( 2/13). Four SAP cases were managed conservatively with one death of MOF. The remaining 21 cases of acute edematous pancreatitis (AEP) were cured by nonoperative methods.ConclusionWhereas an early exploration is indicated, when complicated by biliary tract infections, it is judicious to try a conservative therapy first for ABAP patients.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of Renzi Shengjing Decoction(Radix Ginseng and Fructus Schisandrae decoction for producing sperms)treating oligospermia and aspermia males with kidney yang deficiency through its influence on semen and hormones.Methods The 60 males with infertility due to oligospermia and aspermia were randomly divided into treated group and control group with 30 cases in each.Before and after treatment,the two groups were tested with the colored semen analysis system for detecting the density,motility and survival rate of sperms respectively.The follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH),testosterone(T),and prolactin(PRL)were measured by enzyme-labeling instrument.Results In the treated group,the improvement of semen parameters and sexual hormones and clinical effect were better than those of control group(P

Aim: To determine the uptake characteristics of salvianolic acid B(Sal B) in myocardial cells and blood vessel endothelial cells. Method: The effects of various factors, such as time, temperature, drug concentration, pH of the medium, on the uptake of Sal B in myocardial cells and aorta endothelial cells were investigated. LC/MS was employed to determine the intracellular concentration of Sal B. Results: Uptake kinetics of Sal B in the myocardial cells and aorta endothelial cells fitted well to the logarithmic model at 37 ℃ and 4 ℃. The a-mount of uptake was in direct proportion to the extracellular concentration of Sal B in the experimental concentration range. Uptake of Sal B both in the myocardial cells and blood vessel endothelial cells would significantly increase while the medium pH decreased, and some water-soluble components extracted from danshen would also facilitate the uptake of Sal B both in the myocardial cells and blood vessel endothelial cells obviously. The energy metabolism inhibitors would significantly inhibit the uptake of Sal B in the myocardial cells and blood vessel endothelial cells. When lactic acid and fatty acid were added to the incubation solution, the uptake of Sal B both in the myocardial cells and aorta endothelial cells increased more than 20%. Conclusion: pH is the most important factor influencing the cellular uptake of Sal B, and the amount of uptake tends to increase in acidic medium. Results suggest that the uptake of Sal B would increase in the acidified internal environment induced by myocardial ischemia, thus exerting better cardiovascular activities.

Objective To explore the clinical value of expression of CEA and CK-20 detected by flow cytometry (FCM) in peritoneal washes on predicting peritoneal metastasis and prognosis of gastric carcinama.Methods Clinicopathological characteristics and follow up data of 105 patients with gastric carcinoma who were underwent D2 radical resection (R0) were collected.Peritoneal washes was collected.Peritoneal lavage cytology examination (PLC) was used to find intraperitoneal free cancer cells (IFCC).FCM was used to determine the CEA and CK-20 expressions.Meanwhile,13 patients with benign lesion on the stomach and the gastric carcinama cell line SGC-7901 were served as the negative and positive control,respectively.Results Positive expression of CEA was in 48 (45.7 ％) patients,of CK-20 was found in 67 (63.8 ％) patients,and of CEA and CK-20 was in 85 (81.0 ％) patients by FCM.However,positive expression of IFCCs was found in 31 patients(29.5 ％) by PLC.The expression of CEA and CK-20 were related to serosa invasion,lymphnode metastasis and pTNM stage (P ＜ 0.05).The median survival of patients with negative expression of both CEA and CK-20 (n =20) was significantly longer those with positive expression (n =30)(52 vs 18 months,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Combined Detection of CEA and CK-20 in peritoneal washes by FCM can be used to predict peritoneal micrometastasis and may predict the prognosis of gastric carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE:To detect the expression of genes of leukemia cell line K562 treated by artemisinin using the gene chip technology and to study the mechanism of artemisinin in the inhibition of leukemia cell line K562 on the molecular level. METHODS:K562 cells were treated with artemisinin for 24h,and then the morphological change of K562 cells were observed under invert microscope and fluorescence microscope. The cell cycle state was examined by flow cytometry analysis (FCM). Total RNA samples were extracted and reverse transcribed to cDNA. Cy3-labelled cDNA samples were hybridized with gene chips.The hybridization results were detected by Gene Pix 4100A. RESULTS: Under invert microscope,different degree of shrinkage of K562 cells was noted,karyoschisis was reduced,cell density was decreased and the numbers of drift cells were increased.Under fluorescence microscope,caryotin was highly concentrated,marginalized and agglomerated to relucent clump,i.e.apoptotic body. Flow cytometric analysis showed that ratio of cells in G2 phase increased markedly. Hybridization analysis showed down-regulation of cyclin D1,cdk4,cdk2,cdc2,DNA-PK,DNA-TopoI,mcl-1,erk,jnk and VEGF in the artemisinin-treated K562 cells.CONCLUSION: The mechanism for artemisinin to inhibit the proliferation of leukemia cell line K562 is related to its action to alter the gene expression of certain regulatory substances involved in cell cycle and induce apoptosis of leukemia cell line K562.
