OBJECTIVE: To explore the mechanism of Sanqi Qiancao Recipe (SQR) in treating metrorrhagia caused by copper intrauterine device (IUD) in rabbits and to provide experimental evidence for preventing and treating this disease. METHODS: Fifty-six rabbits were randomly divided into seven groups, which were normal control group, sham-operation group, untreated group, indomethacin-treated group, low-dose SQR-treated group, medium-dose SQR-treated group and high-dose SQR-treated group. Copper IUD insertion was operated in rabbits of the last five groups. Rabbits in the last four groups were treated orally with indomethacin and low-, medium- and high-dose SQR respectively for a week. Rabbits in the untreated group, normal control group and sham-operation group were given distilled water orally. Hematocrit, blood viscosity at low, medium and high shear rate, plasma viscosity and blood sedimentation were examined after treatment. RESULTS: The hematocrit, blood viscosity at low, medium and high shear rate and plasma viscosity were higher in the untreated group than those in the normal control group with significant differences (P<0.01) while those indexes in low-, medium- and high-dose SQR-treated groups were significantly lower than those in the untreated group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSION: SQR can lead to a decrease in blood viscosity and improve the blood flow, which may be one of the mechanisms of SQR in treating metrorrhagia after copper IUD insertion.

In ischemic hypertrophic myocardium, contractile dysfunction can be attributed to the decreased calcium induced calcium release (CICR) in cytoplasm. This study aimed to investigate the electrophysiological properties and the expression of L calcium channel subunits in post-MI myocardium. The ischemic heart remodeling model was established in SD rats. The expressions of calcium channel subunits were determined by realtime RT-PCR. Whole cell patch clamp was used to record the electrophysiological properties of L calcium channel. The results showed that the L calcium channel agonist Bayk 8644 induced the significantly decreased CICR in the rat cardiomyocyte 6 weeks after myocardial infarction (MI). In the post-MI cardiomyocytes, the amplitude of I(CaL) decreased dramatically and the inactivation curve of the current shifted to more negative potential. At mRNA level, the expression of the calcium channel alpha1c, beta2c subunits decreased dramatically in the ventricle of post-MI rats. The expression of alpha2/delta subunit, however, remained constant. It is concluded that the abnormal expression of the L calcium channel subunits in post-MI cardiomyocytes contributes to the ICaL decrease at early stage of the ischemic remodeling in cardiomyocytes, which leads to the decreased CICR in the cell and contractile dysfunction of myocardium.

Tumor 2018;38(4):347-355
Objective: To analyze the influence of Revised International Staging System (RISS) on the prognosis and treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). Methods: The clinical information of two hundred and fifty-nine newly diagnosed patients with MM was retrospectively analyzed. The survival and prognosis of these MM patients was compared by using Durie-Salmon (DS) staging, International Staging System (ISS) and RISS, respectively. The influence of use of bortezomib and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) on the prognosis of patients with MM according to RISS was evaluated. Results: The median age of 259 patients with MM was 58 years (range: 34-87 years). The ratio of male to female was 1.3: 1. The median follow-up time was 32 months (range: 1-188 months), and the median progression-free survival (PFS) and median survival time were 45 and 67 months, respectively. In 239 patients with MM according to DS staging, the patients with DS stage I, II and III MM were accounted for 4.2%, 16.7% and 79.1%, respectively; the median PFS were 68, 41 and 44 months, respectively (P = 0.496), and the median survival time were 99, 64 and 67 months (P = 0.478); the 5-year PFS rates were 60.0%, 38.1% and 31.3% (P = 0.208), and the 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 60.0%, 60.9% and 53% (P = 0.533). In 236 patients with MM according to ISS, the patients with ISS stage I, II and III MM were accounted for 17.4%, 41.1% and 41.5%, respectively; the median PFS were 53, 48 and 38 months, respectively (P = 0.033), and the median survival time were 68, 92 and 57 months, respectively (P = 0.028); the 5-year PFS rates were 36.8%, 40.0% and 25.6% (P = 0.291), and the OS rates were 60.0%, 63.9% and 42.1%, respectively (P = 0.119). In 173 patients with MM according to RISS, the patients with RISS stage I, II and III MM were accounted for 9.2%, 81.6% and 9.2%, respectively; the median PFS were 68, 47 and 16 months (P = 0.022), and the median survival time were statistics not shown and 72 and 25 months, respectively (P = 0.001). The 5-year PFS rates were 55.6%, 34.7% and 11.1% (P = 0.049), and the OS rates were 80.0%, 59.2% and 22.2% (P = 0.012). The patients with RISS stage III MM had better prognosis in bortezomib-based combination chemotherapy group, and the median survival time was 30 months, which was longer than that of the routine chemotherapy group (14 months, P = 0.014). ASCT had significant difference neither in PFS nor in OS according to RISS (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The RISS is superior to DS staging and ISS in the prognostic significance. Patients with RISS stage III MM have poor prognosis, and the bortezomib can improve the prognosis.
