Objective:To observe changes of sexual hormone level,score for Hamilton depression scale(HAMD) and clinical score for TCM symptoms after treatment of female depression with the principle of soothing the liver and relieving depression,and tonifying the kidney and relieving mental stress.Methods:Sixty cases of female patients of depression were randomly assigned to a treatment group(n=30) and a control group(n=30) according to age and condition of patients.Scores for HAMD and TCM symptoms before and after treatment were recorded and compared in both groups.Serum estradiol(E_2),progestin(P) and prolactin(PRL) levels were determined in the patients of depression and healthy persons.Results:Hormone levels were correlated with HAMD scores and 4 factors of HAMD,and after treatment with the method for soothing the liver and tonifying the kidney,serum E_2 increased (P

The carbamyl phosphate synthetase I (CPS,) cDNA probe labelled with alpha ~(35)S-dATP was obtained by using modified nick translation technigue. The specific radioactivity of the obtained probe reached 0.9-1.5?10~8cpm/ug DNA. This probe could be satisfactorily used in RNA-DNA in situ hybrioization for detecting the gene expression of CPS_1 in liver tissue sections. The advantages of using ~(35)S instead of ~(32)P and ~3H for labelling DNA probe were discussed.

Objective To observe the baseline characteristics and visual outcomes after two years follow-up of exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients treated with ranibizumb. Methods Forty-four eyes of 44 patients with exudative AMD were enrolled into this retrospective study, 19 were men and 25 were women. The mean age was 78 years (range 64–92 years). All patients were underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA, Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study), fundus color photography, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The mean BCVA was (50.36±14.43) letters, the mean central foveal thickness (CFT) was (291.95± 82.19)μm, and the fluorescence leakage area of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) was (7.61±5.84) mm2. All patients received three initial intravitreous injection of ranibizumb (IVR) and were retreated with monthly IVR when needed. The mean follow up time was 25.6 months (range 24–29 months). On 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after treatment, BCVA and OCT were repeated. On 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after treatment, FFA and ICGA were repeated. The change of BCVA, CFT and fluorescence leakage area of CNV were observed. The association of baseline characteristics and two year visual outcomes were analyzed. Results On 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after treatment, the BCVA were improved significantly (t=?1.89,?3.51,?4.61,?4.04,?5.77,?4.69;P<0.05), the CFT were decreased significantly (t=1.51, 2.30, 3.40, 3.28, 3.54, 3.88, 3.73;P<0.05). On 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after treatment, the fluorescence leakage area of CNV were reduced significantly (t=2.12, 2.90, 3.51, 4.12, 4.06;P<0.05). The lower baseline BCVA, the more improved after treatment. The BCVA improvement degree has a negative relationship with baseline BCVA and fluorescence leakage area of CNV (r=0.505,?0.550;P<0.05), but no correlation with baseline CFT (r=0.210, P>0.05). Conclusion Two year visual outcomes of exudative AMD patients treated with ranibizumb is negative correlated with baseline BCVA and fluorescence leakage area of CNV, but not correlated with baseline CFT.

Physical and psychological stresses inhibit or harm reproductive endocrine especially female one at many levels of hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, and result in subhealth conditions or clinic diseases in reproductive endocrine. The hypothalamic corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and adrenal glucocorticoids (GCS) overreleases and other neuroendocrine alterations induced by stress are implicated in the mechanisms responsible for the disturbance of reproductive endocrine. The declines in activities of synzyms for reproductive hormones cause sexual hormones reduces and disfunction in reproductive endocrine system.

Objective To explore the effects of maternal hypercholanemia on the myocardium changes in rat fetus. Methods Thirty clean SD female rats were equally randomized to three groups after mating successfully.From the 13th to 20th day of gestation,group A and B were injected injected with sodium chloride(NS) as control.Total bile acid(TBA) and cardiac troponin I(cTnI) were measured in the maternal and fetal serum on the 21st day when all rats were killed.Fetal cardiac muscle cells were also collected for examination with light microscope and electronic microscope.Results (1)TBA in maternal and fetal serum were(22.32±8.12)μmol/L and(28.84±8.06) μmol/L,respectively in group A,(9.77±3.56)/μmol/L and(9.34±3.54) μmol/L in group B,and (3.60±1.78) μmol/L and(3.95±1.19) μmol/L in group C.Significant differences were found among groups(P<0.01).(2)Fetal death rates were significantly different among the three groups (P<0.05),with 30.11%,16.85%,and 7.05%,respectively.(3)Fetal cTnl were also found significant difference among groups(P<0.01),with(19.98±7.75)ng/ml,(11.41±3.64)ng/ml and(4.38±1.19)ng/ml,respectively.(4)The integrated scores of fetal necrosis area were significantly different in three groups(P<0.05),with 1.92±0.43,1.36±0.37 and 0.44±0.12,respectively.(5)Under electronic microscope,the number density of mitochondria in group A was lower than that in group C(P<0.05)while the average volume of mitochondria was larger in group A (P<0.05).The average volume of mitoehondria in group B was larger than that in group C(P<0.05) while no difference was found with regard to the number density between the two groups.The number density and average volume of myofibril in group A were lower than those in group C(P<0.05).The number density of myofibril in group B was higher than that in group C(P<0.05) while no difference was found with the average volume.(6)Positive correlations were found in maternal TBA,fetal TBA,fetal cTnI and the integrate of fetal necrosis area when comparing every two of the above factors. Conclusions Fetal myocardium is impaired obviously in hypercholanemia rats.The serum level of TBA and cTnI in fetal rats are positively correlated with each other.

Objective To observe the effects of repeated immobilization on rats ovarian function and to observe the changes of ovarian function in menopause animals.Methods Daily vaginal smears were permfored to follow the estrous cycle in adult female rats.The animals with regular cycle were exposed to the scheduled daily repeated immobilization for 15-day,which included 5 stress episodes with each episode consisting of three immobilizations (one time per day). The duration of immobilization was progressively increased with the subsequent episode. Serum levels of estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P) were measured throughout the estrous cycle before and after the stress.Results The repeated stress resulted in the disruption of the estrous cycle characterized by longer phase of diestrus or by fewer epithelium from vagina in proestrus and estrus.In the stressed rats, a significant decrease of serum E2 and an increase of P were shown throughout the cycle compared to that before stress;the normal secretion cycle was interrupted or even disappeared; changes of serum P level in some rats were similar to the menopause animals.Conclusion Repeated immobilization can cause the disruption or degeneration of ovarian function,indicating that rats with stress-induced ovarian dysfunction is an appropriate animal model for testing protective effects of agents against aging and for the diseases related to ovarian dysfunction.
