Objective To investigate changes of serum proteins and related enzymes in patients with schizophrenia and its relationship to metabolic syndrome.Methods Five hundred and three inpatients with schizophrenia and 60 healthy volunteer were selected in this study.The demographic information and medical history data of them were recorded and levels of serum proteins and enzymes were measured,and the metabolic syndrome (MS) was diagnosed according to IDF criteria.Results Serum protein contents of schizophrenic patients (total protein (71.14 ±6.13) g/L,albumin (44.56 ±4.24)g/L,globulin(26.35 ±5.04) g/L,apoprotein A(10.97 ± 0.27) g/L,and apoprotein B (0.69 ± 0.25) g/L) were significantly lower than control group (79.96 ± 6.10) g/L,(49.44 ±5.63) g/L,(30.52 ±4.00) g/L,(10.97 ±0.27) g/L,and(0.69 ±0.25)g/L (P＜0.01).Urea nitrogen ((4.36± 1.36) mmol/L) was lower than control group ((5.22 ± 1.31) mmol/L) and C-reaction protein ((3.17 ± 6.58) mg/L) was higher than control group (1.35 ± 1.83) (P ＜ 0.01).Alanine aminotransferase ((24.28 ± 32.76) IU/L),a-L Fucosidase((17.49 ± 4.83) U/L),adenosine dehydrogenase((17.81 ± 5.67) U/L),and creatine kinase isoenzyme((10.50 ±4.92)IU/L) were higher than control group (18.12 ±9.77)IU/L,(15.98 ± 3.58)U/L,(11.75 ±5.48) U/L,and (9.12 ±3.62)IU/L,P＜0.01),but AST isoenzyme ((5.97 ±4.97) U/L)was lower than control group ((7.05 ± 6.72) U/L).Alanine Aminotransferase,alkaline phosphatase,γ-glutamyl transpeptidase,and a-L Fucosidase,AST isoenzyme and cystatin-c of schizophrenic patients with MS were significantly higher than non-MS patients(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion There are significant metabolic disorders of proteins and enzymes in patients with schizophrenia,and abnormal changes of many enzymes are significantly associated with metabolic syndrome.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of aromatase P450,COX-2,ER and PR in the patients with adenomysis.Methods The immunohistochemistry staining was used to detect the expression of aromatase P450,COX-2,ER and PR in ectopic endometrium and eutopic endometrium of 30 patients with adenomyosis and 30 cases in control group.Results The expression of aromatase P450,COX-2 in ectopic endometrium were significantly higher than those in eutopic endometrium (all P ＜ 0.05) ; The expression of ER,PR in ectopic endometrium were significantly lower than those in eutopic endometrium (all P ＜ 0.05),excepted the expression of PR in eutopic endometrium,the expressions of both ER and PR lose their periodical cycle.There was positive correlation between the expression of aromatase P450 and COX-2 in adenomysis group(P ＜ 0.05).In adenomyosis,the expression of aromatase P450,COX-2,ER and PR in dysmenorrhea subgroup were significantly higher than those in non-dys menorrhea subgroup(all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Aromatase P450,COX-2 and ER play important roles in the genesis and development of adenomyosis and dysmenorrheal,PR is not the main pathogenic factors of adenomyosis.The expressions of aromatase P450,COX-2 and ER in adenomyosis have nothing to do with endometrial cyclical change and are not subject to the regulation of ovarian hormones.

Epmedii Folium is a commonly used traditional Chinese drug, and is beneficial for the "liver" and "kidney" s function in Chinese medicine. Recently, the origin of this drug is more complex. Most of the identification studies are emphasized on the species certified by the pharmacopoeia and other related species from the same genus of Epimedium, but few was emphasized on the counterfeit. In this paper, one counterfeit of Epmedii Folium, identified as the dried leaf of Quercus variabilis (Fam. Fagaceae), has been reported based on field investigation, comparing specimen of Epmedii Folium and Q. variabilis,using the macroscopic, microscopic and TmC methods. It is resulted that they could be identified clearly not only by the macroscopic features, such as the vein character and the tooth apex, but also by the microscopic features, such as the vascular bundles of the midrib, the non-glandular hair, the anticlinal wall of the epidermis cell and the calcium oxalate crystal. Furthermore their TLC chromatograms showed also difference. This study will give reference for the identification of Epmedii Folium and the related supervision and inspection work.
