China Pharmacy 2015;(29):4138-4139,4140
OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy of clomiphene combined with metformin in the treatment of polycys-tic ovary syndrome. METHODS:112 patients with polycystic ovary syndrome admitted in gynaecology and obstetrics depart-ment of our hospital were selected,and randomly divided into control group and observation group,with 56 cases in each group. Control group was treated with clomiphene orally,since fifth day of menstruation,once a day,50 mg/time;observa-tion group was additionally treated with metformin orally,30 min before meal,3 times a day,500 mg/d. Treatment course last-ed for 2 months. Biochemical indicators,control time of disease,actual treatment time,HOMA-IR,HOMA-β and clinical effi-cacy of patients were observed in two groups. RESULTS:After treatment,LH,FSH,T and FINS of patients in observation group were lower than before treatment and control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05);control time of disease and actual treatment time of observation group were significantly shorter control group (P<0.05),with statistical significance;HOMA-IR and HOMA-β of observation group were significantly lower than those of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05);clinical effective rate of patients in observation group was significantly higher than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Clomiphene combined with metformin in the treatment of polycystic ovarian syn-drome can improve biochemical indicators,shorten control time of disease and actual treatment time and enhance clinical effi-cacy.

Chinese Journal of Organ Transplantation 2010;31(3):162-166
Objective To observe the neurologicaI functional recovery after intravenous transplantation of human umbilical cord blood(HUCB)CD34~+ cells transfected with glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and green fluorescent protein (GFP) in SD rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).and tO investigate the survival,migration and neural differentiation of the graft cells.Methods (1)CD34~+ cells were isolated from HUCB using centrifuge combined with immune beads and then identified by flow cytometry,and transfected by the recombinant plasmid of GDNF.GFP or GFP plasmid by liposome method.(2) Sixty aduh male SD rats with MCAO were randomly divided into three groups (n=20 in each group):GDNF-GFP-CD34~+ cells group,in which the GDNF-GFP-CD34~+ cells were transplanted intravenously at the 24th h after the establishment ofmodels of MCAO;GFP-CD34~+ cells group:in which the GFP-CD34~+ cells were transplanted intravenously at the Same time;Normal saline group,in which normal saline was injected at the same time.Fifteen SD rats served as sham-operated group.(3) Neurological functional measurements were performed using the modified neurolc'gical severity score.Quantitative histological determinations of infarct volume were performed using standard TTC staining and quantitative image analysis. The GDNF level in the cell culture or the cerebral tissue was measured by ELISA. Meanwhile, the survival and migration of GFP-labeled CD34~+ cells and the expression of astrocytie marker-GFAP and the neuron marker-neuronal nuclei (NeuN) were detected by immunohistochemical and fluorescent staining. Results (1) The GDNF level in the cell culture was significantly higher in GDNF-GFP-CD34~+ cells than in GFP-CD34~+ cells (P<0. 05). (2) No significant difference was found in the modified neurological severity score at the day 7 after transplantation among the three groups with MACO, but at day the 28 after transplantation, the neurological function in GFP-GDNF-CD34~+ group was improved significantly (5.0±1. O) as compared with the GFP-CD34~+ cells (5. 9 + 1.4) or saline groups (7. 0±1.7) (P<0. 05). The cerebral infarct volume in GFP-GDNF-CD34~+ group (142±44mm~3) was significantly decreased as compared with the GFP-CD34~+ group (196±58 mm~3) (P<0. 05) or saline group (233<50 mm~3 ) (P<0. 01 ). The GDNF level in cerebral tissue in GFP-GDNF-CD34~+ group was significantly increased as compared with the GFP-CD34~+ group (P<0. 05) at the 28th day after treatment. At the 28th day after treatment, the NeuN positive cells (6.7±2.0), and GFAP positive ceils (14.1±3.3) in GFP-GDNF-CD34~+ group were significantly increased as compared with the GFP-CD34~+ group (P<0. 05), but there were no positive cells in sham-operationgroup. Conclusion Intravenous transplantation of GDNF gene-modified CD34~+ cells from human umbilical cord blood could improve the neurological function in rats with MCAO. The increased GDNF level in cerebral tissue was one of possible mechanisms responsible for the different improvements.

World Science and Technology-Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2014;(7):1597-1601
This article was aimed to observe the intracardiac pressure under different states by electric acupuncture (EA) on yuan-source point of PC7-Daling and to explore the acupuncture effect features. Catheterization was applied through the right common carotid artery to the left ventricle in order to record the left intraventricular pressure. The intracardiac pressure was used as an indicator. The effects of EA on PC7-Daling to the left intraventricular pressure of rats were observed under the states of normal physiology, isoproterenol and propranolol, respectively. The results showed that for the immediate effects of acupuncture, EA on PC7-Daling can obviously excited the intracardiac pressure of normal rats. Under the state of intravenous application of propranolol and isoproterenol, no obvious reac-tions during EA on PC7-Daling. From the effects of acupuncture, under normal conditions, EA on PC7-Daling had excitatory effect; under propranolol state, it had inhibitory effects; and the effect of isoproterenol state was variable. It was concluded that according to the specificity of acupoint effect, PC7-Daling can excite intracardiac pressure.

Objective:To screen the potential characteristic gene spectrums and signal pathways of osteoarthritis based on gene chips.Methods:We analyzed 2 microarrays of human joint synovial tissue (GSE82107 and GSE55235) derived from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and included for this study 20 osteoarthritis (OA) samples and 17 healthy control samples. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between OA and HC were screened by GEO2R tool. Analyses of Gene Ontology function and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment were performed using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery to identify the pathways and functional annotations of DEGs (https://david.ncifcrf.gov/). Protein-protein interaction of these DEGs was analyzed based on the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes database and visualized by Cytoscape software (http://www.string-db.org/).Results:191 up-regulated DEGs and 49 down-regulated DEGs were screened out from the 2 microarray databases. Enrichment of DEGs was mainly found in regulation of such biological functions as "inflammation" , "bone cell differentiation" and "positive apoptotic cell regulation" , HTLV-I infection, silk crack on the original amp-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, swine flu, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway, the nf-kappa B signaling pathway, PI3 kinase/Akt pathway, toll-like receptor pathway, legionella, salmonella and other 14 signaling pathways. In 2 modes of MNC and Degree, the top 10 core genes were screened, of which interleukin-6 (IL6), JUN, chemokine 8 (CXCL8), early reaction growth factor (EGR1) and cyclin (CCND1) were identified as valuable biomarkers of OA.Conclusions:Based on GEO chips, 10 characteristic gene profiles such as IL6, JUN, CXCL8, EGR1, CCND and 14 signal pathways such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signal pathway, NF-κB signal pathway, PI3 kinase/Akt pathway and Toll-like receptor pathway were screened, which may provide new clues for understanding of the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis.
