China Pharmacy 2016;27(24):3368-3370
OBJECTIVE:To discuss the effect of Ethinylestradiol and cyproterone acetate tablet combined with metformin on ovulation induction of patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS). METHODS:184 PCOS patients were randomly divided into control group(92 cases)and observation group(92 cases). Control group orally received 1 Ethinylestradiol and cyproterone ac-etate tablet in 5 d of menstruation,once a day,it stopped after 21 d,the next cycle of treatment was started on the 5th of with-drawal bleeding. Observation group additionally received 3 Metformin tablet,once a day,without drug withdrawal during menstrua-tion,and lasted for 3 menstrual cycles. After 3 menstrual cycles,all patients received ovulation induction treatment [(50-100 mg clomiphene was orally given from the 5th day of the 4th menstrual cycle,for 5 days,or 75-150 U postmenopausal gonadotropin by intramuscular injection,when the dominant follicle diameter was(19.0±2.0)mm,10 000 U human chorionic gonadotropin(HCG) was intramuscularly injected,the ovulation was continuously monitored and whether there was ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)was observed]. Body mass index(BMI),follicle estrogen(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH),prolactin(PRL),estradiol (E2)and testosterone(T)before and after treatment,fasting plasma glucose(FPG),fasting insulin(FINS),insulin resistance in-dex(HOMA-IR),pregnancy rate,ovulation rate and the incidences of OHSS and adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed.RE-SULTS:Before treatment,there were no significant differences in the BMI,FSH,LH,PRL,E2,T,FPG,FINS and HOMA-IR between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,BMI,LH,PRL,E2,T,FPG,FINS and HOMA-IR in observation group and LH, E2 and FINS in control group were significantly lower than before,and BMI,PRL,E2,T,FPG,FINS and HOMA-IR in observa-tion group were lower than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The pregnancy rate and ovulation rate in observation group was significantly higher than control group,the incidence of adverse reactions was significantly lower than control group,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). And there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Ethinylestradiol and cyproterone acetate combined with metfor-min can effectively improve insulin resistance of POCS patients,recovery sex hormone secretion,promote ovulation and improve pregnancy rate,with good safety.

Hydatidosis is the largest parasific disase in human being. The patients often contract hydatidosis in the childhood. The slow growth of hydatid cysts in the organ involved may lead to a protracted course of disease. In the early stage of the diseases, there are no distinct subjecive symptoms. Early diagnosis is difficult by routine examination. The complications of hydatidosis causing serious damage to the organs may often lead to sudden death. It is essential to make an early and correct diagnosis and give treatment. B-mode ultrasonography not only detects the location, dimension and chracteristics of hydatid cysts but also shows the pathological changes of the various complications caused by hydatidosis and faciliates to select the best program of operation. B-mode ulttasonography is the method of choice in the diagnosis of hydatidosis. In this series of 931 patients with hepatic hydatid disease, the diagnostic accuracy rate of B-mode ultrasonography reached 98. 8%.

Objective To investigate the acoustic characteristics of snoring sound in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and with simple snoring. Methods 22 patients with OSAHS and 15 with simple snoring were included in this study. Natural overnight snoring was digitally recorded and portable sleep mo-nitoring was performed simultaneously. 10 snores, which were the 1st snores after 10 cycles of obstructive apnea, from each patient in OSAHS group, and 10 snores from each patient in simple snoring group were analyzed in the time and frequency domains. Results The sound waves of snoring in the two groups exhibited different patterns both in the time and frequency domains. The snoring spectrum of patients with simple snoring showed distinct fun-damental- harmonic structures which were not clear in patients with OSAHS. The central frequency of the patients with OSAHS was higher, and 800 Hz power ratio was lower than those of the patients with simple snoring. In the OSAHS group, the central frequency of the patients with moderate-to-severe OSAHS was higher, and 800 Hz power ratio was lower than those of the patients with mild OSAHS. The differences of the two parameters were of statistical significance. Conclusion The snoring sounds in patients with OSAHS and with simple snoring have dif-ferent characteristics in time and frequency domains, indicating that it is feasible to research the OSAHS by way of snore monitoring and analyzing technique.

Fluorescent staining method is a sensitive cytochemical staining method, it can reflect minimal changes of biochemical components of cells. The 7690-Xu fluorescent staining solution prepared with thioflavine can show the heterogeneo- us fluorescence of cells in different stages of differentiation. The younger cells with low degree of differentiation show blue fluorescence, the lower the degree the deeper the color. Along with the differentiation of cells, the blue color of fluorescence deflects to the red color of spectrum gradually, the blue color of fluorescence of cytoplasm changes gradually to bluish, bluish-green, and finally yellow color. The blue color of fluorescence of nucleus changes through greyish- blue to orangeyellow or orange-red.The cytoplasm of cells in various organs with high degree of differentiation appears yellow, and the nucleus orange-yellow or orange-red in color.

Objective To observe the effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on cell proliferation and cell cycle of cultured bovine corneal endothelial cells. Methods Bovine corneal endothelial cells were cultured with different concentrations of hEGF (1, 10 and 100 ng/mL). MTT test was performed to evaluate the cell proliferation. The bovine corneal endothelial cells were divided into two groups:control group (cultured in DMEM) and EGF-stimulated group (cultured in DMEM with EGF). Flow cytometry was performed to determine the cell cycle phases on the third and seventh day. Results Compared with the control, EGF enhanced the cell proliferation in a dose-related response. 10 ng/mL and 100 ng/mL EGF were much more effective than 1 ng/mL.On the third day, S phase cells accounted for 24.5% and G_2-M phase cells 0.08% in the control group,while 24.6% and 0.06%, respectively in the EGF-stimulated group. However, on the seventh day, those came to 20.8% and 0.41% in the control group, and 18.2% and 1.55% in the EGF-stimulated group,indicating a significant change in the cell cycle (P
