Objective] Investigate the relationship between polycystic ovary syndrome and phlegm wet, lay a theoretical foundation for from the wet treatment. [Method] According to the diagnostic standard of PCOS, try from the signs and symptoms, laboratory indexes, imaging manifestations of three aspects, analyzes and demonstrates the relationship between the disease with phlegm wet. From curing phlegm wet as the breakthrough point, dialectical analysis and tailored medication,explore the treatment effect and advantage. [Result] PCOS shown by a series of symptoms and signs are associated with phlegm wet blocking uterus; Insulin resistance, lipid metabolic disorder, leptin, and tumor necrosis factor pathways are closely associated with phlegm wet; Polycystic ovary is visual performance of phlegmy wet block uterus.Arguments from phlegmy wet, and guiding drugs, combined with the spirit, exercise, diet therapy have a significant clinical curative effect .[Conclusion] In this paper, starting from the theory of phlegm wet treatment of the disease,curative effect is distinct and has high practical value. Also it demonstrates the scientific and particularity of Chinese medicine on disease. It will provide a new train of thought for the gynecologic diseases and the other diseases in the future.

More and more studies have found that EBV infection is closely related to the occurrence, development, treatment and prognosis of lymphoma. The treatment of EBV-positive lymphoma bases mainly on combined chemo-radiotherapy together with ganciclovir, acyclovir and other antiviral drugs. Also there are novel ways to treat EBV positive- lymphoma including CD70 monoclonal antibody, butyrate, etc. The only way to prevent EBV infection is to inoculate anti-viral vaccine. The criterion of treating EBV positive-lymphoma remains to be further investigated.

Purpose] The article analyzed the rules of diagnosis and treatment of “menstruation stopped when not old yet”in the Fuqingzhunvke Section · Menstruation Chapter, which provides a new thought of diagnosing and treating for the treatment of premature ovarian failure. [Methods] Because of the characteristics of the provisions in the Fuqingzhunvke is consistent with the clinical symptoms of premature ovarian failure in the modern medicine. The article analyzed the cause, pathogenesis, principle-method-recipe-medicine and treatment to explore the treatment of premature ovarian failure. [Result] The characteristics of the provisions in the Fu Qingzhu Nvke are consistent with the clinical symptoms of premature ovarian failure in the modern medicine. Fushi thought that premature ovarian failure derived from heart, liver, spleen and kidney, treatment should reinforce kidney water;puts forward some new ideas for qi depression, nourishing liver to resolve depression method;pay attention to tonifying spleen, nourishing heart and tranquilizing mind; reminding relieving depression lies in strengthening the body resistance. [Conclusion] Through analyzing the etiology, pathogenesis, treatment of premature ovarian failure, to clarify the etiology, pathogenesis, treatment of premature ovarian failure. The study of classics of traditional Chinese medicine provides a new method for the treatment of premature ovarian failure. Making the past serve the present, the clinical curative effect will be improved.

ObjectiveTo study the expression of EZH2 gene in cervical squamous carcinoma and its clinicopathologic significance. MethodsThe expression of EZH2 mRNA was detected in 21 samples of normal cervical tissue, 27 samples of CIN tissue and 48 samples of cervical squamous carcinoma tissue by RT-PCR. And the relationship between EZH2 expression and the clinical pathological characteristic was analyzed. ResultsThe level of EZH2 mRNA in cervical squamous carcinoma tissues(1.67±0.01)were significantly higher than that in the normal cervical tissues (0) and CIN tissues (0.36±0.02) (P < 0.01).There was no correlation between EZH2 and ages (P > 0.05), while the expression of EZH2 was highly correlated with histologic stage,clinical stage,muscular invasion depth and lymph node metastasis of cervical squamous carcinoma (P < 0.01).ConclusionThe over-expression of the EZH2mRNA may play an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of cervical squamous carcinoma,suggesting that EZH2 might be a new biomarker for diagnosing cervical squamous carcinoma.

Objective To detect the expression of heparanase (HPA) in cervical cancer cells and investigate the impact of quercetin on the expression of HPA,and the molecular mechanism that quercetin inhibits the growth of cervical cancer cells.Methods The experimental groups included cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa and Caski) exposed to different concentrations of quercetin (20,40 and 80 μmol/L) in the culture medium.The control groups included a negative control group,which was cultured with RPMI 1640 only,and a positive control group,in which cervical cancer cells were transfected with HPA small interference RNA (siRNA) to silence HPA expression.The cellular expression levels of HPA were detected with fluorescence quantitative real-time PCR and western blot analysis at 24,48 and 72 hours after treatment.Results (1) HPA was significantly expressed in both cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa and Caski),and it exists both nucleus and cytoplasm.(2)The real-time PCR shows as follows:as the quercetin concentration increased (20,40 and 80 μmol/L),the mRNA expression level of HPA decreased (P <0.01),in which the inhibition of HPA expression was concentration dependent.In addition,the inhibition of HPA expression was also time dependent.As time growth,the expression level of HPA mRNA (24,48 and 72 hours) in HeLa and Caski cells decreased (P < 0.01).Compared with negative control group,the expression level of HPA mRNA decreased in different concentrations of quercetin (40 and 80 μmol/L) in both HeLa and Caski cells (all P < 0.05) ; Compared with positive control group,the expression level of HPA mRNA expressed no obvious difference in quercetin (80 μmol/L) group (P > 0.05) in HeLa cells,while it was opposite in Caski cells(P <0.01).(3)The result of western blot shown that,as the quercetin concentration increased(20,40 and 80 μmol/L)and time growth (24,48 and 72 hours),the expression level of HPA protein decreased (P < 0.01),and the inhibition of HPA protein expression was concentration and time dependent.Compared with negative control group,the expression level of HPA protein decreased in different concentrations of quercetin (40 and 80 μmol/L) in both HeLa and Caski cells (all P < 0.05) ;Conpared with positive control group,the expression level of HPA protein expressed no obvious difference in quercetin (80 μmol/L) group (all P > 0.05) in both HeLa cells and Caski cells (all P>0.05).Conclusion Quercetin could inhibits the expression of HPA in cervical carcinoma cell lines,which inhibition is concentration and time dependent.
