Objective To investigate the effect of Guizhi Fuling pills on levels of serum MAPK, ERK and VEGF in patients with endometriosis. Methods 60 patients with endometriosis were selected and according to the random control table were divided into the experiment group and the control group, 30 cases each.The control group were treated with conventional acetate goserelin sustained-release implantation agent subcutaneous injection, the experiment group were treated by Guizhi Fuling pill treatment.After treatment, the clinical efficacy, serum MAPK, ERK-5, VEGF, ERK, T-cad and VE-cad levels of the patients were compared.Results Compared with the control group, the clinical total effective rate was higher in the experiment group (P<0.05);MAPK and ERK-5 levels in serum were lower (P<0.05), ERK level in serum was lower(P<0.05);T-cad and VE-cad levels in serum were lower(P<0.05);VEGF level in serum was lower(P<0.05).Conclusion Guizhi Fuling pill can block the cell signal transduction pathway through inhibition of MEK and ERK activity, thereby inhibit abnormal endometrial proliferation and cell division cycle, can effectively inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of the tumor.

Objective To study the extraction process of kendir leaves in compound kendir leaves tablets. Method The optimum extraction process was selected by the orthogonal design L9(34),with the factors of the concentration of ethanol,the volume of ethanol and the time of extraction,the content of quercetin as the evaluating criteria detected by HPLC. Kromasil C18 column (250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) was used. The mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.5% phosphoric acid (27︰73),detection wavelength was 371 nm,the flow rate was 1.0 mL/min,and the column temperature was 30 ℃. Results The best extraction process of kendir leaves was as follows:85% ethanol,30 times volume of ethanol,extracting for 2 hours in boiling water. Quercetin showed a good linearity in the range of 0.963 0～0.080 3 ?g,r =0.999 8 (n =7). The average recovery of quercetin was 99.46%. Conclusion The extraction process was entirely,and the results of determination are satisfactory.

Aim To study the receptor mechanism of carvedilol(CAR) on heart failure.Methods Established rat model of heart failure was induced by abdominal aortic coarctation.With modified Langendorff model of rat,isoproterenol(ISO),carvedilol,propranolol(PRL) and the specific ?3 adrenergic receptor(?3AR) blocker SR59230A were given perfusion on heart failure and normal rats' hearts.Then the cardiac function was investigated.At the same time,plasma norepinephrine in normal and heart failure group was measured.Results ① The ?dp/dtmax of heart failure group were significantly reduced compared with those of the normal group,and the norepinephrine level was remarkably higher than that of the normal group.② In heart failure group,perfused PRL on the basis of ISO,the maximum rate of left ventricular pressure rise(+dp/dtmax) decreased by 40.37%? 2.52%,the maximum rate of left ventricular pressure decrease(-dp/dtmax) reduced by 41.36%?1.10%;perfused CAR on the basis of ISO,+dp/dtmax decreased by 24.73%? 3.60%,-dp/dtmax reduced by 22.05%?1.27%.There were differences between these two groups,and the cardiac function perfused CAR was better than PRL.③ Perfused CAR in heart failure group,+dp/dtmax increased by 41.57%?14.98%,-dp/dtmax increased by 33.39%?6.41%;perfused ?3AR specific blocker SR59230A,+dp/dtmax increase by 45.75% ?2.64%,-dp/dtmax increased by 42.81% ?9.62%.There were no differences between these two groups.Conclusion Another receptor mechanism of CAR in heart failure model was probably blocked by ?3AR.

BACKGROUND: Abnormal hemorheologic index was often observed in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Although this alteration is not the main cause for the onset of cerebral infarction (CI), the changes of hemorrheology should not be ignored.OBJECTIVE: To study the hemorrheologic alterations of patients in different sexes with CI and transient ischemic attack (TIA), and investigate the significance of hemorrheologic index on the treatment of disease and the value of prognostic assessment.DESIGN: Non-randomized controlled and homochronous study based on patients and healthy people.SETTING: Medical physics institute in a university and a neurological department in a university hospital.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 91 CI patients, including 64 males and 27 females with the mean age of (64 ± 9), and 40 TIA patients, including 20 males and 20 females with the mean age of (58 ± 11 ), were selected from the Neurological Department of Qilu Hospital, Shandong University from January to December 2000. Another 84 healthy volunteers, including 52 males and 32 females with the mean age of (56 ± 10), were selected as the control group homochronously.METHODS: 2 mL fasting venous blood from elbow was taken in the morning and heparin was used against coagulation. Blood viscosity was assayed with NXE-1 cone-plate viscometer (made in Chengdu, China).MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: High blood viscosity, low blood viscosity,plasma viscosity, hematocrit, erythrocyte aggregation index and fibrinogen content of CI or TIA patients in different sexes and the controls.RESULTS: Each item of hemorrheologic index of male CI or TIA patients was significant higher than that of the controls, and the differences were significant (P ＜ 0.05 -0.01 ). Each item of hemorrheologic index of female CI patients was significant higher than that of the controls, and the differences were significant ( P ＜ 0.05 - 0.01). Blood viscosity, plasma viscosity and fibrinogen content of female TIA patients were significant differences from those of the controls ( P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: The increase of hematocrit and fibrinogen content are the main factor causing the increase in blood viscosity.

Objective To explore the effect of continuous hyperglycemia on learning and memory capacity in rats, and to observe the changes of expressions of ubiquitin and apotosis-related proteins, so as to provide a relative basis for diabetic encephalopathy. Methods The male SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group and diabetes mellitus (DM) group. The DM rats was made by intraperitoneal injection of streptozocin (STZ). The capacities of learning and memory were tested by Y-maze. The structure changes in frontal lobe cortex and hippocampus were observed by Nissl's staining and immunohistochemistry. The apoptosis cell count was measured by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). The expressions of Bcl-2 and P53 were assessed by Western-blot analysis. The expression of ubiquitin mRNA was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results In DM rats, the learning and memory capacities were worse than in control rats (P＜0. 05), and the apoptosis cell counts in frontal lobe cortex and hippocampus were higher than in control rats, the expression of Bcl-2 gene was reduced while the expressions of ubiquitin and P53 gene were increased (P＜0. 05). Conclusions In the frontal lobe cortex and hippocampus, the expression of Bcl-2 gene is reduced while the apoptosis cell numbers and ubiquitin P53 gene expression are increased, which may contribute to neurodegeneration in DM rats.
