Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2000;0(06):-
Gene expressions of interleukin-6 receptor subunit gp130 and gp80 were investigated by competitive RT-PCR in the rat model of osteoporosis. A significant increase in expressions of gp130 and gp80 was found in bone marrow of osteoporotic rat, this change may be a possible mechanism in osteoporosis due to loss of estrogen.
3.Effect of total flavonoids of Herba Epimedii on apoptosis of osteoblasts in ovarieetomized rats
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2008;24(4):382-386
Objective To investigate the effect of total flavonoids of Herba Epimedii (HEF) on the apoptosis of osteoblasts in the ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Methods Fifty-four female rats were allocated into 6 groups (9 rats in each group) ; OVX group, sham-operated group, 3 groups with OVX followed by three different dosages of HEF(40,80 and 160 mg· kg-1·d-1) and another group by nilestriol (0.1 mg· kg-1·d-1) for 12 weeks respectively. Bone mineral density (BMD) of whole body of rats was determined by DEXA. The serum level of estradiol was measured by radioimmunologic assay. Apoptotic ceils were examined using terminal dexynudeotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) and observed by electron microscope. The protein expressions of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 ,fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 and Fas were tested withimmunohistochemical methods. Results Compared with the OVX group,BMD in the HEF treated (80 and 160 mg ·kg-1·d-1) groups were increased (P < 0.01), but the serum level of estradiol was not increased (P >0.05). Positive expression rate of apoptotie osteoblasts and osteocytes in the OVX group was significantly higher than that in sham-operated group after 12 weeks (P < 0. 01), and were decreased after HEF treatment (P < 0.01).Compared with the OVX group, Fas expression in the HEF treated groups was significantly decreased (P < 0.01), and expressions of TGF-β1 and FGF-2 were significantly increased, especially in 80 and 160 mg·kg-1·d-1 HEF groups (P < 0.01). Conclusion HEF has antiosteoporotic effect in ovariectomized rats. HEF can inhibit apoptosis of osteoblasts and osteocytes, which may thus contribute to its antiosteoporotic effect.

Objective To investigate the effects of icariin on the expressions of osteoprotegerin(OPG)and receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB ligand(RANKL)mRNA in rat osteoblasts cultured in vitro.Methods Calvarial osteoblasts were obtained from newborn SD rats aged<24 h by trypsin-collagenase digestion method. After treatment with different concentrations of icariin(10~(-10)-10~(-4) mol/L)for 48 h,total RNA was isolated from osteoblasts.Expressions of OPG and RANKL mRNA were detected by semiquantitative RT-PCR.Results Icariin remarkably increased OPG mRNA levels and decreased RANKL mRNA levels in calvarial osteoblasts in a dose- dependent fasion with a maximum effect at a concentration of 10~(-7)mol/L(P<0.05).Osteoblasts pre-treated with icariin prevented the inhibitory effect of dexamethasone on OPG mRNA(0.570?0.093 vs 1.083?0.081)and the stimulative effect on RANKL mRNA(1.079?0.050 vs 0.718?0.082)(both P<0.05).Conclusion Icariin upregulates OPG expression and downregulates RANKL expression in osteoblasts,which may explain the beneficial role of icariin in preventing and treating osteoporosis.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of ornidazole in the treatment of trichomonal vaginitis. Methods:Totally 112 cases of trichomonal vaginitis from February 2011 to December 2012 in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into the ob-servation group and the control group with 56 cases in each. The control group was treated with metronidazole tablets 200mg, po,tid, and the observation group was treated with ornidazole tablets 500mg, po,bid. The treatment course was 7 days. The clinical effect, score of clinical symptoms and incidence of adverse reactions of the two groups were compared. Results:The total effective rate of the observation group was 96. 4%, which was higher than that of the control group (82. 1%), and the difference was statistically signifi-cant (P<0. 05). The symptom scores of the two groups were significantly improved after the treatment (P<0. 05), however, the score between the two groups showed no significant difference (P>0. 05). The incidence rate of adverse reactions in the observation group was 10. 71%, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (37. 5%), and the difference was statistically signifi-cant (P<0. 05). Conclusion:The clinical curative effect of ornidazole in the treatment of trichomonal vaginitis is notable with faster onset, shorter treatment course, lower adverse reaction rate and better patient tolerance,which is valuable in the clinical promotion.
