According to the characteristics and clinical manifestations of Endometriosis,we found the core pathogenesis of endometriosis is ascending Qi of Chong meridian and obstruction of collaterals or meridians due to blood stasis.The Qi of Chong Meridian is usually strong during menstrual period.When the patient get weak body constitution,or attacked by exogenous pathogenic factors or intemal damage by the excessive Seven Emotions,it will cause dysfunction of viscera,which causes Qi of Chong Meridian ascending in period and induces forming of blood stasis inside body to obstruct collamrals.Long term of stasis blood can be transformed to mass and eventually leads to endometriosis.

Chong meridian travels to head and foot, and connects to the whole human body. Excess or deficiency of qi and blood, deficiency or excess of Zang and fu viscera are reflected by Chong meridian to uterus, and thus affects the physical and pathological changes of the women's menstruation, gravidity, pregnancy and breast-feeding.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of Dandi Tablet (DDT), a TCM preparation for tonifying Shen and activating blood circulation, on blood lipids and sex hormones in women of postmenopausal stage.

METHODSSeventy-three women were randomly divided into two groups. The 46 subjects in the DDT group were treated with DDT (consisted of prepared Rehmannia Root 24 g, Dogwood Fruit 9 g, Poria 9 g, Water-plantain 9 g, Tuber Peony bark 9 g, Chinese Yam 12 g and Red Sage 15 g, etc.) twice a day, 4 tablets each time. The 27 subjects in the control group were treated with nylestriol (each tablet contains 2.5 mg of 17 alpha-ethynylestriol-3-cyclopentyl ether) 5 mg every month, for 3 successive months. Levels of blood lipids, including total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C, LDL-C), apoprotein A and B (apoA, apoB) and sex hormones, including follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol (E2) were determined before and after treatment.

RESULTSCompared with pre-treatment, after treatment, levels of TC/HDL-C and FSH significantly lowered, HDL-C and E2 increased in both groups (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), levels of TG lowered and apoA increased significantly in the DDT group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONDDT has the effect of elevating levels of estrogen and improving blood lipid metabolism, therefore shows a coronary heart disease preventive effect in women of postmenopausal stage.
