Objective To explore the relationship between recurrent spontaneous abortion and the chromosome abnormality by analyzing the 394 couples′chromosome karyotypes.Methods Peripheral blood lymphocytes in 394 couples of recurrent spontane-ous abortion in Guangzhou area were cultured and performed the chromosome karyotype analysis.Results Among 394 couples of recrudescence abortion,41 cases (5.2%)of abnormal chromosome karyotypes were detected including 1 case(2.44%)of chromo-some number abnormality,8 cases (19.51 %)of balanced translocation,3 cases (7.32%)of Robertsonian translocation,1 case (2.44%)of chromosome inversion and 28 cases (68.29%)of chromosomal polymorphism.Conclusion The chromosomal abnor-mality is an important reason for recurrent spontaneous abortion.Recurrent spontaneous abortion is not only associated with anoma-lies of chromosome structure,and could have a certain relationship with chromosome polymorphism.

OBJECTIVE:To study the repa ir effect and mechanism of Taohong siwu decoction on rotator cuff injury in rabbits. METHODS:New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into blank control group ,model group ,Taohong siwu decoction low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups (2.75,5.5,11 g/kg),and Taohong siwu decoction+LY 294002 group [ 5.5 g/kg Taohong siwu decoction+ 6.4 μg/kg LY294002(pathway inhibitor )],with 11 rabbits in each group. Except for blank control group , other groups underwent right subscapularis muscle detachment to establish rotator cuff injury model. After modeling ,blank control group and model group were given normal saline intragastrically ;Taohong siwu decoction groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically;Taohong siwu decoction+LY 294002 group was given Taohong siwu decoction intragastrically ,and then injected with LY 294002 at the ear edge ,once a day ,for 12 weeks. After last intragastric administration (injection),the pathological changes of tendon-bone interface was observed ;the levels of TNF-α,IL-10 and IL- 6 in serum were detected ;mRNA and protein expressions of PI 3K,Akt and mTOR in tendon-bone interface were detected ;the expression of autophagy related protein (Beclin1, LC3Ⅱ)were detected. RESULTS :Compared with blank control group ,the tendon-bone interface was uneven and the intima was swollen in model group. Serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6,mRNA and protein expressions of PI 3K,Akt and mTOR in tendon-bone interface were increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01),while the level of IL- 10 and protein expression of Beclin 1 and LC 3Ⅱ were decreased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with model group ,the tendon-bone interface of rabbits in Taohong siwu decoction low-dose and medium-dose groups still had certain intimal damage ,while the tendon-bone interface of rabbits in high-dose group was smooth and flat without an obvious intimal tear ;the levels of most indexes in serum and tendon-bone interface of rabbits were significantly reversed in each dose group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Swollen tendon-bone interface and obvious intimal tear were obse rved in Taohong siwu decoction + LY group;compared with model group ,there w as no significant difference in above indexes of serum and tendon-bone interface (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS :Taohong siwu decoction may repair the rotator cuff injury of rabbits ,the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway,activating autophagy and inhibiting inflammatory response.
