OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of goserelin on vascular growth factor and immune function of rats with prostatic hyperplasia. METHODS:Rats were selected to establish prostatic hyperplasia model and randomly divided into model group,gose-relin low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups (0.4,0.8,1.2 mg/kg);normal rats were selected as normal control group, with 10 rats in each group. Normal control group and model group were given normal saline intragastrically,and goserelin groups were given relevant dose of drugs intragastrically,once a day,for consecutive 25 days. The prostate volume,wet weight,prostatic index of rats were detected as well as positive cell area of VEGF,TGF-β1,FGF,CD4 and CD8 in prostate tissue. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,prostate volume,wet weight,prostatic index,positive cell area of VEGF,TGF-β1,FGF, CD4 and CD8 were all increased in model group (P<0.05). Compared with model group,the above indexes of goserelin groups were all improved (P<0.05),especially those in medium-dose and high-dose groups were better than in low-dose group (P<0.05);there was no statistical significance between medium-dose group and high-dose group(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Gosere-lin can relieve prostatic hyperplasia of rats,reduce the expression of VEGF in prostate tissue and regulate immune function.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of venlafaxine in the treatment of depression under the guidance of pharmacogenomics testing, and to provide references for individualized medication. MethodsA total of 66 patients who met the diagnostic criteria of International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10) for depressive episode were included in the study. Patients who were recommended to be treated with venlafaxine in the pharmacogenomics testing report were divided into study group (n=32), and those who were decided to be treated with venlafaxine by doctors after consultation with patients were divided into control group (n=34). At the baseline and the end of the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th weekend of treatment, Hamilton Depression Scale-24 item (HAMD-24) was adopted to evaluate the clinical efficacy. Meanwhile, Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) was applied to measure the social function of patients at the baseline and the end of the 8th weekend of treatment. After treatment, Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) was used to assess the incidence of adverse reactions. ResultsAt the end of the 4th, 6th and 8th weekend of treatment, HAMD-24 scores in the study group were all lower than those in the control group, with statistical differences (t=2.344, 4.316, 5.760, P<0.05 or 0.01). At the end of the 8th weekend of treatment, SDS score of the study group was lower than that of the control group, with statistical difference (t=2.173, P<0.05). The adverse reaction rate in the study group was lower than that in the control group, with statistical difference (χ2=5.720, P<0.05). ConclusionTreatment of depression with venlafaxine based on pharmacogenetic testing is an effective and safe way to alleviate the depression symptoms in patients.
