Objective To observe effects of Genistein and 5fluorouracil(5-FU) on human colon carcinoma cell line Colo320.Methods The MTT assay and median-effect principle were used.Results The two drugs were antagonistic at higher concentrations and synergistic at lower concentrations,The sequence and time of drug administration can influence the effects of the two drugs on Colo320.Conclusion The two drugs were cooperated at lower concentrations and antagonistic at higher concentrations.The sequence and time of drug administration were also important for their effects on the cells.

Three homoisoflavonoids, 6-aldehydo-3-ophiopogonanone A, methyl ophiopogonanone A and ophiopogonanone A from Ophiopogon japonicus were analyzed simultaneously by HPLC with acetonitrile-water containing 0.5% H3 PO4 (58:42) as the mobile phase, and the detection wavelength was set at 296 nm (0-14 min) and 275 nm (14-22 min). The mean recoveries of three homoisoflavonoids were 99.41%-99.86% (RSD 0.82%-1.05%). The linear response ranges of. 6-aldehydo-3-ophiopogonanone A, methyl ophiopogonanone A and ophiopogonanone A were 0.165-0.990 microg (r = 0.999 9), 0.153-0.918 microg (r = 0.999 9), and 0.270-1.620 microg (r = 0.999 9), respectively. This method was certified to be accurate and reliable and can be used for quality control of O. japonicus.

OBJECTIVETo determine the contents of twelve ginsenosides in the root of Panax ginseng by HPLC.

METHODThe analysis is carried out at room temperature on a Luna NH2 column (4.6 mm x 150 mm, 5 microm) eluted with acetonitrile and water as the mobile phases in a gradient elution. The flow-rate was 1.0 mL x min(-1), the detection wavelength was 203 nm.

Objective To evaluate the effects of different concentrations of desflurane on the electrophysiological stability of hearts in female patients.Methods Forty female patients,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,aged 20-50 yr,weighing 45-77 kg,scheduled for elective surgery with general anesthesia,were divided into 2 groups (n =20 each) using a random number table method:0.6 MAC group (group D1) and 1.3 MAC group (group D2).The intravenous access was opened after admission to the operating room,midazolam 0.1 mg/kg,vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg,fentanyl 3 μg/kg and etomidate 0.3 mg/kg were injected intravenously,and mechanical ventilation was performed after tracheal intubation.The concentrations of desflurane reached 0.6 and 1.3 MAC in D1 and D2 groups,respectively.Twelve-lead electrocardiograms were collected before anesthesia induction (T1),at 5 min after intubation (T2) and at 20 min after reaching the set concentration of desflurane (T3).The QT interval and Tpe interval were measured,the QTc interval,Tp-e/QT ratio and index of cardiac electrophysiological balance were calculated,and the development of arrhythmia was also observed.Results The QT interval and QTc interval were significantly longer,and the Tp-e/QT ratio was lower at T3 than at T1,2 in two groups (P＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in QT interval,Tp-e/QT ratio or index of cardiac electrophysiological balance at each time point between two groups (P＞0.05).No arrhythmia was found in neither group.Conclusion The clinical concentration of desflurane affects the electrophysiological stability of hearts to some extent in female patients without causing arrhythmia.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) plays an important role in the process of reproduction. Studies have shown that a family of peptides Kisspeptin can act on GnRH-related neurons, stimulating the secretion of GnRH, and activating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Both animal experiments and clinical studies have shown that exogenous administration of Kisspeptin is able to induce physiological GnRH release in healthy individuals and those with endocrine-disorders, which brings great hope for treatment of reproductive endocrine diseases. The effect of Kisspeptin is similar to the physiological process in induction of ovulation and ovum maturation, leading to high security and efficiency for women receivingfertilization. Kisspeptin is involved in trophoblast invasion, so it may be useful for predicting pregnancy outcomes. In addition, Kisspeptin is the key hormone in the onset of puberty acting as a signal transducer in metabolism and reproduction, so it provides some directions for studies of polycystic ovary syndrome, hyperprolactinemia, and other metabolic-related reproductive endocrine diseases. This article reviews the character of Kisspeptin and the prospect of its application in treatment of reproductive endocrine diseases.
