Objective: To prepare plumbagin transfersomal (PBG-T) gel and investigate its transdermal penetration characteristics in vitro. Methods: Plumbagin transfersomes were prepared by film-ultrasonic dispersion method. The optimal prescription condition of PBG-T was selected by central composite design and response surface method. The formula of PBG-T gel was optimized by orthogonal test. The Franz diffusion cell was used to investigate transdermal penetration characteristics of PBG-T gel in vitro. Results: The optimal prescription condition of transfersomes was determined as drug 10.0 mg, phospholipids 700.0 mg, Tween-80 91.5 mg, ultrasonication time 13 min. The optimal prescription condition of transfersomal gel was 1% carbomer 940 as gel matrix, and 5% glycerol as the humectant. According to the optimized prescription, the entrapment efficiency, the mean particle size, and Zeta potential of PBG-T were (79.88 ± 2.26)%, (125.64 ± 4.54) nm, and (-30.97 ± 1.13) mV. The cumulative penetration rate of PBG-T gel was 70.0% at 12 h. Conclusion: The optimal preparation technique is stable and feasible. Transfersomal gel features a sustained release in vitro, the transfersomal gel can increase penetration rate of plumbagin through the skin of rats.

OBJECTIVEIn this study, the clinical data of 240 cases of data acquisition on ovulation in patients with anovulatory infertility.

METHODUsing the method of factor analysis, summed up the distribution situation of various syndromes and the relationship of disease-syndrome-symptom.

RESULTFrom the study we found that polycystic ocary syndrome > premature ovarian failure > corpus luteum insufficiency > luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome > hyperprolactinemia > anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Using the factor analysis method, the syndromes of anovulatory infertility were divided into six types and the distribution proportion of them is: kidney Yang deficiency and blood stasis > kidney Yang deficiency > kidney Yin deficiency and blood stasis > kidney Yin deficiency and liver Qi stagnation syndrome > kidney Yang deficiency and phlegm dampness stagnation > kidney Yin deficiency. By means of statistics, the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptoms as abdomen pain before menstrual onset, obfuscation colour, cold lower abdomen, insomnia, fatigue, eyes dark, face dark or ring lip dark, before and after menstruation breast swelling, chest tightness, irritable insomnia, depression and lower abdomen pain during menstruation etc contribute high degree in the process.

CONCLUSIONPolycystic ovary syndrome and premature are the main causes of ovulatory disorder infertility and the disease incidence rate assumed the tendency which rose year by year. The treatment of the disease of kidney yang deficiency syndrome scales biggest the disease degree of contribution. Blood stasis is the important factor in the process of pathogenesis evolution. In the study of disease distribution, we found that symptom distribution trend roughly the same and the same symptom severity in different diseases with different, which provides experience for the theory-different diseases with the same therapeutic method. These conclusions provide guidance and reference evidences for clinic practice.

【Objective】To observe the therapeutic effect of lifting-pulling-rotating and oblique-pulling manipulation in treating lumbar interverbral disc herniation(LIDH).【Methods】A multi-center prospective control trial was carried out in 181 LIDH patients.The patients were randomized into two groups: group A(N=90)was treated with lifting-pulling-rotating and oblique-pulling manipulation,and group B(N=91)with traditional massage manipulations.Scores of symptoms and signs were examined to evaluate the therapeutic effect after 2-week treatment and after 3-month,6-month and 12-month follow-up respectivel in the two groups.Meanwhile,the changes of myoelectrogram were compared after treatment in the two groups.【Results】Evaluated by the symptoms scores,77(85.6%)patients were cured,10(11.1%)markedly effective and 3(3.3%)ineffective in group A after 2-week treatment,and 45(45.4%),32(35.2%)and 14(15.4%)respectively in group B,the difference being significant(P0.05).【Conclusion】The effect of lifting-pulling-rotating and oblique-pulling manipulation is better than that of traditional massage manipulations for lumbar interverbral disc herniation.
