BACKGROUND:Increasing evidence has demonstrated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel (BMSC) transplantation can promote skin, liver and lung repair in animal models; andLeonurus sibiricus L. has the ability of promoting blood circulation and regulating menstruation.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic effect of BMSC transplantation with leonurine on intrauterine adhesions (IUA) in rabbits and the relevant mechanism of action.
METHODS: After modeled using dual injury method, rabbit models of IUA were randomly divided into five groups: sham-operated group (sham), model group (IUA), BMSC transplantation group, leonurine treatment group and combined treatment group (BMSCs+leonurine). Rabbits in the sham group were only given normal saline rinsing after hysterotomy, while those in the latter three groups were correspondingly given intrauterine BMSC transplantation or/and intragastric administration of 4 mg/kg leonurine for 14 days. Morphological changes of the endometrium were observed using hematoxylin-eosin staining, and expression levels of transforming growth factor β protein, Smad3 protein and interferon-γ mRNA were detected using immunohistochemical staining and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the model group, the degree of IUA was al significantly improved in the other groups, especialy in the combined treatment group. Moreover, BMSC transplantation, leonurine treatment and their combined use al could inhibit IUA-induced increase of transforming growth factorβ and Smad3 protein expression and IUA-induced decrease of interferon-γ mRNA level. Importantly, al these alternations were much more pronounced in the combined treatment group. Our results show that the combined use of BMSC transplantation and leonurine treatment can exert a synergistic effect in the improvement of IUA through the transforming growth factor β/Smad3 pathway.

Objective Establish premature ovarian failure ( POF ) model in female Sprague Dawley by tripterygium wilfordii , and investigate the effect of bushenyangxue prescription on the levels of anti -mullerian hormone ( AMH) .Methods After POF model was established , rats were gave by gavage of different dosage of Bushenyangxue prescription for 30 days.The changes of histomorphology on rat ovarian tissue were observed by hematoxylin -eosin staining. Serum AMH concentraction , protein and mRNA expression of AMH were measure with ELISA , immunohistochemical staining and qRT-PCR, respectively .Results The follicle and corpus luteum were atrophied after tripterygium wilfordii challenge, which was improved after treatment with Bushenyangxue prescription .Serum AMH, protein and mRNA expression of AMH were decreased tripterygium wilfordii-treated rats; this decrease was inhibited after treatment with Bushenyangxue prescription .Conclusions Our study indicates that Bushenyangxue prescription could preserve the AMH levels of POF rats.These findings suggest that Bushenyangxue prescription may be a useful strategy to treat POF .

Objective:To compare the difference and correlation of HPLC and enzyme-multiplied immunoassay test( EMIT) for the determination of CsA in human whole blood. Methods:A total of 119 clinical samples at different concentrations of CsA were collected and respectively determined by HPLC and EMIT. The difference and correlation of the two determination methods were investigated. Results:There was significant difference in the blood concentrations of CsA determined by HPLC and EMIT(P<0. 05). CsA concen-tration determined by EMIT was 26. 2 ng·ml-1 higher than that determined by HPLC, and 95% CI was (14. 6-37. 7) ng·ml-1 . A satisfactory correlation was achieved between the two methods(r=0. 997 4). Conclusion:There is statistically significant difference in the CsA concentration in whole blood respectively determined by EMIT and HPLC. Attention should be paid to CsA monitoring by E-MIT and HPLC, and relevant adjustment should be carried out.

Objective To investigate the relationship between leptin receptor(LEPR) gene Gln223Arg in polymorphism and serum leptin level of patients with asthma.Methods A case-control study was conducted.One hundred and ninety-two asthma patients were recruited from asthma gene library,among them 100 patients only with asthma(asthma group) and 92 patients with both asthma and metabolic syndrome(asthma complicated with metabolic syndrome group).And 108 normal people were selected as control group.Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to detect the polymorphism of LEPR gene Gln223Arg locus.Serum leptin levels were measured by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay,its relationship with asthma was analyze.Results The frequencies of genotype GG,GA,AA in asthma group,asthma complicated with metabolic syndrome group and normal control group were (83.00％ (83/100) vs.83.70％ (77/92) vs.70.37％ (76/108),15.00％ (15/100) vs.15.22％ (14/92) vs.27.78％ (30/108),and2.00％ (2/100) vs.1.08％ (1/92) vs.1.85％ (2/108) respectively).G and A alleles in asthma group,asthma complicated with metabolic syndrome group and normal control group were 90.50％ vs.91.30％vs.84.26％,9.50％ vs.8.70％ vs.15.74％ respectively.Compared with the control group,GG genotype and GA + AA genotype were different between in asthma group and asthma complicated with metabolic syndrome group.The patients with GG genotype showed 2.056 (x2 =4.599,P =0.032,OR =2.056,95％ CI =1.057-3.999) and 2.161 folds (x2 =4.907,P =0.027,OR =2.161,95 ％ CI =1.084-4.311) risk in asthma group and asthma complicated with metabolic syndrome group than that with GA + AA genotype.In terms of leptin levels,in asthma group,female were significant higher than that of control group (P =0.037,P =2.93),while in asthma complicated with metabolic syndrome group,male and female were significantly higher than control group (P =0.001,0.000 ; P =4.530,4.690).Conclusion The polymorphisms of LEPR gene locus Gln223 Arg are related with asthma.Genotype GG carrier is susceptible for the disease.In female,serum leptin is positive relationship with asthma group,especially in asthma complicated with metabolic syndrome.
