We built rats model of endometriosis applying autologus endometrial transplants to compare the graft vol-ume of the modeling rats before and after dosing,serum tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α)levels in rats,and the expressions of vascular endothelial cell growth factor(VEGF)in ectopic endometrium.To compare with the control group,the graft volume of DingKunDan group was reduced and the serum TNF-αlevel declined ,and also the ex-pression of VEGF in ectopic endometrium was reduced.Their differences were statistically significant (P <0.05). DingKunDan can inhibit the growth of ectopic endometrium in endometrosis model rats.The mechanism may be re-lated to the decrease of the serum TNF-αlevel and the VEGF expression.

Objective To investigate the radiosensitization effect of the simultaneous silence of bcl-2 and XIAP on human head and neck cancer cell line in vitro.Methods Four groups of UMSCC12 cells were transfected with siRNA-bcl-2,siRNA-XIAP,siRNA-bcl-2 plus siRNA XIAP,and siRNA control,respectively.The silence efficiency was tested by Western blot assay. Apoptosis was evaluated with the activities of caspase-3 and caspase-9,and radiosensitization effect was evaluated with clonogenic assay.Results Bcl-2 and XIAP protein expressions were effectively eliminated in the cells simultaneously transfected with siRNA-bcl-2 and siRNA-XIAP.Transfection of cells with bcl-2 siRNA increased radiationinduced apoptosis ( t =5.32,6.27 ; P < 0.05 ),but transfection with XIAP siRNA did not impact cell apoptosis.Since the simultaneous transfection of the above two siRNAs,the activities of caspase-3 and caspase-9 were increased by 1.36 and 1.34 times ( t =11.47,6.22 ; P < 0.05 ) in nonirradiated cells and increased by 1.72 and 1.98 times ( t =12.02,20.14; P < 0.05 ) in irradiated cells,respectively.The colonic assay showed that the SERs were 1.06,1.15 and 1.41 for the cells transfected with XIAP siRNA,bcl-2 siRNA and both siRNAs,respectively.Conclusions Compared to single silence of XIAP or bcl-2,simultaneous silence of XIAP and bcl-2 offers a potential approach to improving the radiosensitivity of the head and neck cancer cells,and apoptosis might contribute to the enhancement of radiosensitization.
