OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of Typhae pollen decoction on isolated uterine smooth muscle(USM)contraction of rats at postconceptual stage. METHODS:16 Wistar rats at postconceptual stage were selected and USM strips were isolated. T. pollen decoction 0(blank control),2,4,8 and 12 mg(medicinal material)/ml were added respectively;the effects of T. pollen de-coction on USM strips contraction were observed,and mean tension,duration of contraction and frequency were measured and re-corded. The effects of T. pollen decoction on USM strips contraction were investigated after pretreatment of prostaglandin synthase inhibitor indometacin(1×10-7 mol/ml)and calcium channel blocker verapamil(1×10-7 mol/ml);USM tension,duration of contrac-tion and frequency were measured and recorded. RESULTS:Compared with blank control group,T. pollen decoction 4,8 and 12 mg(medicinal material)/ml could increase USM tension,duration of contraction and frequency(P<0.05);after added verapamil and indometacin,T. pollen decoction decreased USM tension,shortened duration of contraction and decreased frequency (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:T. pollen decoction can strengthen USM strips contraction,and the effect is inhibited by prostaglandin syn-thase inhibitor and calcium channel blocker.

Macrophages are heterogeneous and diversified, and can be polarized into different phenotypes in various microenvironments and physiological or pathological conditions. Major macrophage subpopulations including classically activated(M1) and alternatively activated(M2) macrophages, which represent different surface receptors, secret different cytokines and chemokines, are regulated by different signal paths of transcriptions and epigenetic levels, and play distinctive roles in tumor progress. TCMs may improve the microenvironment by regulating phenotype polarization of macrophages. So far, specific biomarkers and polarized molecules mechanisms generated through the macrophage polarization approach are still unclear. In this article, we merely summarize the advance in domestic and foreign studies on phenotype polarization of macrophages and regulatory mechanisms and look into the future of intervention with TCMs.
