China Pharmacy 2017;28(20):2840-2842
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Bushen huoxue cupailuan decoction on clinical effects and related index-es of infertility induced by polycystic ovary syndrome. METHODS:A total of 120 cases of polycystic ovary syndrome of kidney de-ficiency and blood stasis selected from our hospital were divided into observation group and control group according to random num-ber table,with 60 cases in each group. From the 5th day of menstruation,control group was given Clomiphene citrate capsules 50 mg,qd;observation group was given 200 mL of Bushen huoxue cupailuan decoction,morning and night. Atreatment course lasted for 3 menstrnal cycle,both groups were treated for 1-2 courses. The number of follicles,endometrial thickness,ovarian volume and serum hormone levels (INS,LH,FSH,PRL,T,E2) were observed in 2 groups before and after treatment. The pregnancy rate were compared between 2 groups after treatment. RESULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in the num-ber of follicles,endometrial thickness,ovarian volume or serum hormone levels between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,the number of follicles,endometrial thickness and ovarian volume in 2 groups were all increased;the improvement of observation group was better than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). After treatment,the levels of FSH and E2 in 2 groups were increased significantly;the level of serum hormone in observation group was significantly better than control group,with sta-tistical significance(P<0.05). The pregnancy rate of observation group was 63.33%,which was significantly higher than 46.67%of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Bushen huoxue cupailuan decoction can effectively im-prove serum hormone lever,ovary condition and pregnancy rate in the infertility patients induced by polycystic ovary syndrome.

Objective To explore the possibility of human neutrophil peptide 1 (HNP1) gene engineering, we construct the eukaryotic expression vector carrying HNP1 gene. Methods With RNA extracted from human neutrophil cell as template, cDNA encoding mature HNP1 was amplified by RT-PCR, and then it was inserted into vector pMD18-T. After restriction endonuclease digestion and DNA sequencing confirmation the gene was subcloned into eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1/V5-His-TOPO to construct a recombinant expression plasmid pcDNA3.1/V5-His-TOPO/HNP1, then the recombinant plasmid was transfected into COS-7 cells by lipofectamine, and the expressed product was identified by biotin-avidin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( BA-ELISA). Results The sequence of HNP1 completely matched those published in GenBank, thus eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1/V5-His-TOPO/HNP1 was constructed correctly. The ELISA results showed that the eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1/V5-His-TOPO/HNP1 could temporarily express HNP1 in COS-7 cells. Conclusion The successful construction and expression of pcDNA3.1/V5-His-TOPO/HNP1 pave the way for the stable expression HNP1 in mammalian engineering cells.

This study is to investigate the effect of the major chemical composition in rhizome of Pterocypsela elata, lactuside B, on expression of bcl-2, bax mRNA and their protein in rats' cerebral cortex after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. First, middle cerebral artery ischemia-reperfusion injury model was established, and each group was treated with the corresponding medicines. Animals were separately sacrificed at 24 h and 72 h. The brain infarct volumes were detected by TTC dye, bcl-2 and bax mRNA expression was checked by RT-PCR, and the proteins of bcl-2 and bax were explored by two-step immunohistochemistry in cerebral cortex of rats. Lactuside B can reduce brain infarct volume of cerebral cortex of rats, increase the expression of bcl-2 mRNA and decrease that of bax mRNA. Moreover, the ratio of bcl-2 to bax mRNA is higher in 12.5 and 25 mg kg(-1) dose group, respectively, which is significantly different from that of model group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Generally, either 12.5 or 25 mg kg(-1) dose group is better than positive control medicine nimodipine (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). In addition, the expression of bcl-2 and bax protein is consistent with their gene expression. Infarct volume and the ratio of bcl-2 to bax mRNA expression are significantly different (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) between 72 h and 24 h group. The results demonstrated that lactuside B could play a good role in resisting cerebral ischemia by upregulating the expression of bcl-2 mRNA and protein and downregulating that of bax mRNA and protein.
