Objective Ritodrine hydrochloride(RH) combined with radix salviae mihiorrhisa(RSM) is ap- plied to treat fetal growth ristriction(FGR). Curative effect was recorded during observation. Methods 62 pregnant women with slowly growing fetuses were divided into two groups randomly. Group A(test group) :including 31 preg- nant women who received RH combined with RSM treatment. Group B(control group) :including the other 31 preg- nant women who only received RSM treatment. Group B received 250ml of fat emulsion injection. One time every three days within one week. At the same time,gronp B also received injection of 500ml 10 % dextrose, coenzyme A 100U ,ATP 40mg,vitamin C 2g,dextran-40 and compound salvia injection 10ml one time a day,ten days in all. Be- sides the above-mentioned medicament for group B, group A received RH 100ml injection every day. Ten days was a period of treatment. After the treatment, uterine height, abdominal circumference, weight were measured and bipari- etal diameter, head circumference, abdominal circumference were checked by B-type ultrasonic inspection. After birth,weight of the baby and weight of placenta were measured too. Results Measurement indexes from group A, weight of the new-born baby and weight of placenta are obviously higher than those from group B. Conclusion RH combined with RSM can obviously extend blood vessel, loose placenta, improve blood circulation, accelerate cell metabolism, make microeirculation better, reduce permeability of capillary vessel, keep placenta's function and help foetus' growth.

Objective The aim of this study is to examine the effect of myoophenolate mofetil (MMF) on epithelial-myofibroblast transiation(EMT) in adenine-induced chronic renal failure (CRF) rat model and the role of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and inhibitor of differentiation (Id2 and Id3) in EMT in the rat kidney. Methods Sixty-four male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to the following groups: normal control (n=16), CRF (n=24) and MMF(n=24). CRF was induced by gastric gavage of adenine (125 mg·kg-1·d-1) to rats for eight weeks. CRF rats were treated with MMF (15 mg·kg-1·d-1) as "MMF" group. The rats were sacrificed at week 2, 4, 6 and 8, respectively.Urinary protein and serum ereatinine levels were measured, and the histopathologic degrees of interstitial fibrosis were evaluated in Massen-stained sections. Expressions of a-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1), VEGF and Id (Id2 and Id3) in the kidney tissue were assessed by immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR and/or Western blot methods. Results The urinary protein level in MMF group was evidently lower than that in CRF group (P<0.01), whereas no statistically significant difference was observed in serum creatinine level between the two groups. Renal interstitial fibrosis was reduced significantly with MMF treatment (P<0.01). Expression of α-SMA in MMF group was lower than that in CRF rats at week 6, 8 (P<0.01), while expression of TGFβ1 was decreased markedly at week 2, 4,6 (P<0.01). The expressions of VEGF in MMF rats were increased significantly at week 6,8 (P<0.01),and Id2,Id3 in MMF rats were increased significantly at week 4,6 (P<0.05). Conclusions MMF may ameliorate chronic renal fibrosis and EMT in adenine-induced CRF rats. This effect of MMF on EMT is probably related to upregulation of VEGF, Id2 and Id3 expressions and suppressing overexpression of TGFβ1 in renal tissue. The exact mechanism needs to be studied further.

Objective To investigate the significance of tamoxifen in the combination chemotherapy of human multidrug-resistant bile duct carcinoma cell line (QBC939/ADM) and its mechanism. Methods The QBC939/AI)M was established, through exposure to gradually increased and the high and low alternated concentration of ADM persistently. The QBC939 and the QBC939/ADM were effected by single ADM, MMC, VDS or jointly with TAM. Drug sensitivity was measured by MTT. Growth cycle and apoptosis were performed by FCM. The level of their P-gp was detected by IHC. The content of ADM in the human cholangiocarcinoma cell line QBC939 was observed by FCM. Results The inhibitive rate of ADM, MMC, VDS to QBC939/ADM was rather lower than to QBC939. With the use of TAM, their chemotherapy effects were apparently enhanced and the apoptosis ratio increased comparably. The IHC results showed that the level of P-gp on the QBC939/ ADM was overexpressed, and the content of ADM in the QBC939/ADM group was much lower. Effected with the high content of TAM(10 μmol/L), the level of P-gp on the QBC939/ADM was decreased, with the content of ADM in the QBC939/ADM group increased comparably. TAM could both improve the chemotherapy effects of the two types of the cell, but the effect of the QBC939/ADM group was more apparent. Conclusion TAM can enhance the depressant effect of chemotherapy to both the two types of the cell, and increase the content of ADM in the QBC939/ADM group. TAM can be combined with the overexpressed P-gp.
