Zishen Tiaochong therapy can improve the function of corpus luteum.The function of corpus luteum has close correlation with vasculogenesis in which the bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells(EPCs)were involved.This implies the Zishen Tiaochong therapy may be correlative to vasculogenesis in corpus luteum via mobilizing bone marrow-derived EPCs.In this paper,based on the TCM theory of 'kidney(Shen) storing essence,producing bone marrow,controlling reproduction',we review the topic of Zishen Tiaochong therapy perfects the function of corpus luteum combined the new mechanisms of research advances in vasculogenesis.The possible mechanisms of promoting vasculogenesis in corpus luteum by Zishen Tiaochong therapy were discussed and analyzed.

Circulation of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, as the vital part of the TCM industrial chain, plays an important role in the connection of agriculture link and industry link of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, which has influence on the healthy development of the whole TCM industrial chain. Because circulation activities mainly include exchange and storage activities instead of manufacturing real products, they are much more difficult to be managed compared with producing activity. This would lead to problems in circulation of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, and impose negative effects on TCM industry. Based on scale economy theory, information asymmetry theory and cobweb model theory, this article analyzed the problems in circulation of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, discussed the deep reasons behind these problems, and proposed relevant suggestions for optimization.

AIM: To study the effect of chronic hypoxic hypercapnia on gene expression of thromboxane synthase and prostacyclin synthase in pulmonary arterioles. METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups: control group and hypoxic hypercapnic group. TXS mRNA and PGI 2-S mRNA were observed in pulmonary arterioles by in situ hybridization. RESULTS:mPAP, weight ratio of right ventricle (RV) to left ventricle plus septum(LV+S), contents of TXB 2 and 6-keto-PGF1 ? in plasma and lung and TXS mRNA in pulmonary arterioles were much higher in rats of hypoxic hypercapnic group than those of control group. Differences of PGI 2-S mRNA in pulmonary arterioles were not significant in two groups. Light microscopy showed hypertrophy of vessel smooth muscle cells and vessel cavity straitness were found in hypoxic hypercapnic group. CONCLUSION: Changes of gene expressions of thromboxane synthase and prostacyclin synthase and imbalance of TXA 2/PGI 2 may play an important role in hypoxic hypercapnic pulmonary hypertension.
