OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Cangfu daotan decoction combined with Clomiphene citrate capsule on sex hormone level and endometrial receptivity in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) combined infertility. METH-ODS:A total of 116 PCOS patients with infertility in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guiyang College of TCM from Jan. 2014 to Dec. 2014 were divided into observation group and control group according to random number table,with 58 cases in each group. Both groups received hormone regulation therapy since the fifth day of menstruation. Control group was given Clomiphene citrate capsule 50 mg,qd;observation group was additionally given one dose of Cangfu daotan decoction,400 mL after decocted with wa-ter,bid,on the basis of control group. Both groups were treated for 3 cycles of menstruation. The levels of serum sex hormone (E2,LH),endometrial thickness(Em),endometrial spiral arterial pulsatility index(PI)and resistance index(RI)were compared between 2 groups before and after treatment. The ovulation rate and pregnancy rate were compared between 2 groups after 1-year follow-up. RESULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in E2,LH,Em,PI or RI between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment,the levels of E2 and LH as well as Em in 2 groups were increased significantly,while PI and RI were de-creased significantly;the observation group was significantly better than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.06). After 1-year follow-up,there was no statistical significance in ovulation rate between 2 groups (P>0.05). The pregnancy rate of observation group was 41.38%,which was significantly higher than that of control group (22.41%),with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Cangfu daotan decoction combined with Clomiphene citrate capsule can effectively regulate serum sex hormone levels of PCOS patients with infertility,and improve endometrial receptivity so as to increase pregnancy rate.

Objective:To study the concentrations of fine particulate matters and ultrafine particles and influenced factors during winter in an area of Beijing .Methods:Real-time monitoring of particles ’ mass and number concentrations were conducted in an area of Beijing from February 7th to 27th , 2013.At the same time, the meteorological data were also collected from the Beijing meteorological website .Differences of the particles ’ mass and number concentrations during different periods were analyzed using Mann -Whitney U test.Meanwhile, the influenced factors were also analyzed .Results: The mean concentra-tions of fine particulate matters and ultrafine particles were ( 157.2 ±142.8 ) μg/m3 and (25 018 ± 9 309) particles/cm3, respectively.The particles’ number and mass concentrations in haze days were 1.27 times and 2.91 times higher than those in non-haze days, respectively.The mass concentrations of fine particulate matters in the self-monitoring site were higher than those in the nearest central monitoring sites, and the hourly-average concentrations of particles were significantly consistent with those at the commuter times.Meanwhile, the setting off of fireworks/firecrackers during the Spring Festival could lead to short-term increases of the particles ’ number and mass concentrations .When the wind speed was low and the related humidity was high , the concentrations of particulate matters were relatively high , and the mass concentrations of fine particulate matters were lagged about 1-2 d.Conclusion: The level of the particulate matters in this area was high .Heavy traffic , setting off of fireworks/firecrackers and meteoro-logical factors may be some of the main factors affecting the concentrations of the particulate matters in this area.Among those factors, the effect of setting off of fireworks/firecrackers didn’t last long and the effect of the meteorological factors had a hysteresis effect .

Objective To explore the relationship between coping styles and childhood abuse in adult patients with depression . Methods A case‐control study was conducted between 80 adult patients with depression and 80 health controls .In general ques‐tionnaire was designed to collect the demo‐graphic information ,Childhood Trauma Questionnaire‐28 Item Short Form (CTQ‐SF) was used to assess childhood trauma and Trait Coping Styles Questionnaire (TCSQ) was assigned to evaluate coping styles .T test , Mann‐Whitney U test ,Spearman Bivariate correlations and Multiple linear regression were employed to explore the characteristics of the major depressive patients′coping styles and the association between childhood abuse .Results (1) The patients with depres‐sion had both statistically significantly higher scores on negative coping style (t=9 .13 ,P<0 .01) and lower scores on positive cop‐ing style (t= -12 .01 ,P<0 .01)than the controls with childhood abuse .The patients with childhood abuse had both statistically significantly higher scores on negative coping style(Z= -6 .134 ,P<0 .01) and lower scores on positive coping style(Z= -5 .452 , P<0 .01) than the controls with childhood abuse .Inside the group of patients with depression ,the patients who had childhood a‐buse gained significantly higher scores in negative coping style than the others who had no early trauma (Z= -2 .159 ,P<0 .05) , however ,no conspicuous differences were found on the positive coping style scores .(2)The childhood abuse was both significantly positive correlated with the passive coping and negative related to the active coping (r=0 .562 ,P<0 .01;r= -0 .333 ,P<0 .05)a‐mong the patients of depression .(3)The total degree of abuse and physical abuse had significant prediction function of 34 .4% (P<0 .01)on the patients′ negative coping .Conclusion The coping styles of patients with depression were prone to be influenced by childhood abuse remarkably ,more severe abuse ,especially with the physical abuse ,more negative the coping styles were .

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of Astragali radix injection combined with entecavir on serum inflammatory cyto-kines and liver function of model mice with hepatitis B. METHODS:60 mice were randomly divided into normal control group (normal saline),model group (normal saline),Astragali radix injection group (0.5 mL/10 g),entecavir group (45 μg/kg) and combination group(0.5 mL/10 g Astragali radix injection+45 μg/kg entecavir),12 in each group. Except for normal control group, mice in other 4 groups were induced for hepatitis B models. After modeling,all mice were intragastrically administrated once a day,for 4 weeks. After administration,tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),interferon γ(IFN-γ),interleukin 8 (IL-8),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),total bilirubin(TBIL)levels in serum were detected,and the pathologi-cal changes in liver tissue in each group were observed. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,TNF-α,IFN-γ,IL-8, AST,ALT,TBIL levels in serum of mice in model group were significantly increased(P<0.05);and liver cells were diffuse and severe steatosis. Compared with model group,TNF-α,IFN-γ,IL-8,AST,ALT,TBIL levels in serum of mice in each administra-tion group were significantly decreased(P<0.05),pathological changes in liver tissue were improved to varying degrees,and the index improvement degree in combination group was superior to Astragali radix injection group and entecavir group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Astragali radix injection combined with entecavir helps to down-regulate the expressions of inflammatory cyto-kines of model mice with hepatitis B,and improve the liver function. The combination use has better effect than single use.
