OBJECTIVETo determine the compound Daqiqi decoction( CDQD) combined cisplatin plays on the cell apoptosis of subcutaneous transplanted ovarian cancer in nude mice, to provide theory evidence for clinical treatment.

METHODMaking the models of subcutaneous transplanted ovarian cancer in nude mice, and divide the 40 mice with tumor into 5 groups (n = 8), the model control group, CDQD low dosed group, CDQD high dosed group, cisplatin group, cisplatin combined CDQD group, killing all the mice after 3 weeks' treatment and stripping tumors. Measure the volume and weight of the tumor and calculate tumor growth curve damps, the inhibition rate. Examining the expression of the Bcl-2(B-cell leukemia /lymphoma 2) and Bax (Bcl-2 associated x protein) mRNA and protein by the RT-PCR and the Western blot.

RESULT(O)The tumor weight shows that there was certain lighter effect in each CDQD group, and compared with cisplatin groups has no statistical significance, the cisplatin combined CDQD group is obviously lighter than that of the other group(P <0.01). The tumor growth curve damps shows that compared with model control group, the treatment group tumors had some extent narrowing (P < 0.01). (2) RT-PCR results: Bax (Bcl-2 associated x protein) mRNA expression shows that compared with model control group, the treatment group has increased (P < 0.01), and the cisplatin combined CDQD group compared with the other group is the highest, there was significant difference with the rest of the treatment group (P < 0.01). In the Bcl-2 mRNA express lowest in cisplatin combined CDQD group (P < 0.01), there has no difference between CDQD high dose group and cisplatin group. (Western blot shows: compared with model control group, the Bax protein of treatment group has increased expression (P < 0.01), the expression of Bax protein in cisplatin combined CDQD group is the highest(P < 0.01). There has no difference between CDQD high dose group and cisplatin group. The Bcl-2 protein expression of the cisplatin combined CDQD group is the lowest (P < 0.01), there has no difference between CDQD high dose group and cisplatin group.

CONCLUSIONThe effect of CDQD on subcutaneous transplantation ovarian tumor has promoting apoptosis function, its mechanism may be related to downgrade the Bcl-2 expression, higher expression of bax, stimulation on the apoptosis of tumor cells; cisplatin combined CDQD have synergistic effect.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate therapeutic effect of acupuncture at "Kaiyin point No. 1" on submucosal hemorrage of vocal cords.

METHODSOne hundred and sixty cases were randomly divided into a test group and a control group. The test group were treated by acupuncture at "Kaiyin point No. 1" with reducing method in reinforcing or reducing method by manipulating the needle in cooperation with the patient's respiration, combined with deep respiratory movement of the glottis laryngeal cavity, once daily; and the control group by spray inhalation of western medicine, once daily, 7 days constituting one therapeutic course.

RESULTSThe cured and markedly effective rate and the total effective rate were 85.0% and 97.5% in the test group and 60.0% and 85.0% in the control group respectively, with a significant difference between the two groups. After treatment of the test group,the acoustical parameters maximum phonation time (MPT), frequency perturbation quotient (FPQ), amplitude perturbation quotient (APQ), ratio of harmonic to noise (H/N) objectively reflected improvement of voice quality.

CONCLUSIONAcupuncture at "Kaiyin point No. 1" as main method is an ideal therapy for submucosa hemorrhage of vocal cords.

OBJECTIVETo observe features of Icariin in promoting osteogenic differentiation of SD rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro.

METHODS(1) SD rats' BMSCs were isolated and purified by mechanically isolated and cultured by whole bone marrow adherent method. Effects of various concentrations Icariin on serum activities of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were detected using amino antipyrine phenol determination method at day 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21. Calcium nodes of each groups were detected using alizarin red staining. Roles of various concentrations Icariin in promoting osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs were observed. (2) BMSCs were divided into the blank control group, the osteogenic induced group, and the Icariin group (0.5 microg/mL). ALP activities were detected at day 7, 14, and 21 of culture. Meanwhile, ALP positive staining rate and calcium nodes were detected at day 14 and 21 respectively. Additionally, mRNA expressions of Runt-related transcription factor-2 (Runx2) and Osteocalcin were detected at day 7, 14, and 21 by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR.

RESULTS(1) 0.05-5.0 microg/mL Icariin could significantly elevate serum ALP activities. Of them, 0.2-2.0 microg/mL Icariin significantly increased calcium nodes numbers (P < 0.01). (2) When Icariin promoted osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, Runx2 mRNA expression levels and ALP activities increased earlier and then decreased, while osteocalcin mRNA expression levels continued to increase (P < 0.01). Compared with the osteogenic induced group, ALP activities and ALP positive staining rate were both elevated after 14 days of Icariin treatment in the Icariin group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSIcariin could promote the differentiation of BMSCs to osteoblasts by up-regulating Runx2 mRNA expression levels. It also could promote the mineralization by increasing ALP secretion and Osteocalcin mRNA expression levels, thereby promoting mature of newly generated osteoblasts.
