China Pharmacy 2017;28(20):2840-2842
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Bushen huoxue cupailuan decoction on clinical effects and related index-es of infertility induced by polycystic ovary syndrome. METHODS:A total of 120 cases of polycystic ovary syndrome of kidney de-ficiency and blood stasis selected from our hospital were divided into observation group and control group according to random num-ber table,with 60 cases in each group. From the 5th day of menstruation,control group was given Clomiphene citrate capsules 50 mg,qd;observation group was given 200 mL of Bushen huoxue cupailuan decoction,morning and night. Atreatment course lasted for 3 menstrnal cycle,both groups were treated for 1-2 courses. The number of follicles,endometrial thickness,ovarian volume and serum hormone levels (INS,LH,FSH,PRL,T,E2) were observed in 2 groups before and after treatment. The pregnancy rate were compared between 2 groups after treatment. RESULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in the num-ber of follicles,endometrial thickness,ovarian volume or serum hormone levels between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,the number of follicles,endometrial thickness and ovarian volume in 2 groups were all increased;the improvement of observation group was better than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). After treatment,the levels of FSH and E2 in 2 groups were increased significantly;the level of serum hormone in observation group was significantly better than control group,with sta-tistical significance(P<0.05). The pregnancy rate of observation group was 63.33%,which was significantly higher than 46.67%of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Bushen huoxue cupailuan decoction can effectively im-prove serum hormone lever,ovary condition and pregnancy rate in the infertility patients induced by polycystic ovary syndrome.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the economical efficiency of 3 therapeutic plans for acute upper respiratory tract infec-tion caused by group A β-hemolytic streptococcal (GAS). METHODS:In retrospective study,71 GAS positive patients with acute upper respiratory tract infection in our hospital during Mar. 2014-Mar. 2016 were selected and divided into group A(16 cases),B(30 cases),C(25 cases)according to medication method. Group A,B,C were given intramuscular injection of ben-zathine benzylpenicillin(1200000 U),oral administration of penicillin V potassium(0.5 g,q8 h,10 d)or oral administration of amoxicillin sulbactam(0.5 g,bid,10 d),respectively. Clinical efficacy and bacterial clearance were observed,and econom-ics of 3 therapeutic plans were evaluated. RESULTS:The cure rates of 3 groups were 87.50%,90.00%,and 92.00%;bacterial clearance rates were 88.24%,87.87%,and 92.59%,respectively;there was no statistical significance(P>0.05). Cost-minimi-zation analysis was adopted for pharmacoeconomic evaluation. The costs of 3 groups were 237.79,279.49,400.40 yuan,respec-tively. The cure rate and bacterial clearance rate of therapeutic plan C were the highest,but its cost also was the highest. The re-sults of sensitivity analysis were consistent with the results of cost-minimization analysis. CONCLUSIONS:The intramuscular in-jection of benzathine benzylpenicillin can be served as first choice therapeutic plan for recurrent upper respiratory tract infection caused by GAS and patients with rhenmatic fever risk. The patients who are reluctant to be treated with penicillin but guarantee medication time can take penicillin V potassium orally. The patients with poor efficacy of common penicillin can take amoxicillin sulbactam pivoxil.

Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Sanqi), the underground part of Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F. H. Chen (Araliaceae) is commonly used in Chinese medicine for treatment of haemorrhage, haemostasis, swelling, etc. The aerial part including leaves, flowers and fruits are also applied for similar functions. Triterpenoid saponins are considered to be responsible for the biological activities of Sanqi. Up to date, more than 100 saponins have been isolated from theroots, rhizomes, leaves, flowers and fruits of P. notoginseng. The reported saponins can be classified into protopanaxadiol (PPD), protopanaxatriol (PPT), C17 side-chain varied and other types, according to the skeletons of the aglycons. The present review summarizes the saponins isolated from P. notoginseng and their distribution in different medicinal organs, as well as the pharmacological actions on cardiovascular system.
