ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of Jingyebaidu granules on treating cytomegalovirus ( CMV) infection during mid-pregnancy. Methods The sexually mature guinea pigs with no CMV infection history served as the subjects. Put the male and female ones in the same cages. Then the female ones were randomly divided into three groups during mid-pregnancy. Model control group:15 guinea pigs which were inoculated 1 mL suspension of GPCMV intraperitoneally. Jingyebaidu Medicine group:15 guinea pigs which were treated with Jingyebaidu(3. 09 mL·kg-1 ) through stomach perfusion after inoculation for 14 days. Normal control group:15 normal mid-pregnant guinea pigs. Viremia rates were examined 7 days after infection. All animals were sacrificed 20 days after infection. The placenta infection rate, pup infection rate, still-born rate were examined. Results Compared with the normal controls, the still-born rate was increased in model control group(8. 33% vs 34. 55%, P<0. 05). In comparison to the model control group, the GPCMV maternal infection rate(86. 67% vs 33. 33%), placenta infection rate (91. 67% vs 61. 22%), pup infection rate(90. 91% vs 48. 28%), still-born rate(34. 55% vs 15. 52%) were significantly decreased in the Jinyebaidu group (all P<0. 05). Conclusion Jinyebaidu granules could reduce maternal infection,pup loss, and placenta infection caused by CMV inoculation during mid-pregnancy.
ABSTRACT
In order to ascertain prevalence rate of premarital sexual intercourse, unintended pregnancy and abortion, and evaluate associated factors of unintended pregnancy among undergraduates from all over China, the representative sample of unmarried undergraduates was obtained by using a multi-stage, stratified, probability cluster design, and data were collected by using a survey questionnaire. 62 326 available responders were gained. 11.6% of them acknowledged having experiences of premarital sexual intercourse (standardized prevalence rate of sexual intercourse was 13.8%). 31.5% of students active in premarital sex acknowledged undergoing unintended pregnancy. 76.2% of pregnant students selected abortion to end it. Of students active in premarital sex, 46.2% used contraception at the first sexual intercourse, 28.2% replied "always" using contraception in sexual intercourse. The rate of using condoms, oral contraceptives (OCs), and withdrawal among students who had used contraception was 52.0%, 31.0%, and 27.2% respectively. "No preparation for sex" (40.3%), "pleasure decrement" (32.1%), "won't-be-pregnancy in occasional sexual intercourse" (30.2%) were their common excuses for using no contraception. The identified risk factors for unintended pregnancy among students active in premarital sex by multivariate analysis were as follows: having no steady lover [having no steady lover vs having a steady lover: odds ratio (OR), 1.875; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.629-2.158], unaware of the course of conception (unaware vs aware: OR, 2.023; 95% CI, 1.811-2.260), considering abortion not endanger women's physical and mental health (no endangerment vs endangerment: OR, 2.659; 95% CI, 2.265-3.121), nonuse of contraception (never use vs always use: OR, 1.682; 95% CI, 1.295-2.185). Medical students were not less likely to experience an unintended pregnancy than nonmedical students (OR, 1.111; 95% CI, 0.906-1.287). The substantial proportion of unintended pregnancy among undergraduates indicates a need for convenient and targeted contraceptive education and services.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the sugical treatment of elderly patients with acute intestinal ob-struction caused by colorectal cancer. Methods The clinical data of 56 elderly patients of acute colonic ob-struction caused by colorectal cancer from Janury 2002 to Janury 2007 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 20 cases with right side coloniclesion,32 cases with left side coloniclesion and 4 cases with rectal lesion. All patients received emergency operation. One stage tumor resection and anastomosis was performed in 20 cases with right side coloniclesion and in 25 cases with left side coloniclesion,Hartmann operation in 4 cases,proximal colostomy in 3 cases were performed with left side coloniclesion. Dixon operation in 2 cases and proximal colostomy in 3 cases were performed with rectum cancer. Results Postoperative complications occurred in 18 cases,including wound infection,intraperitoneal sepsis and intestinal fistula. Fifty-five cases recovered,there was one perioperative death. Conclusions Positive operation should be taken when the diagnosis of acute obstructing colorectal cancer the elderly is made. The operative methods depended on the patient'conditions. The perioperative managment should be emphasized and selection of rational operation procedure is important for decreasing mortality and complications of acute obstructing colorectal cancer in the elderly.
ABSTRACT
In order to explore the effects of testicular infection of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) on mature sperm viability at different periods following MCMV inoculation in mice, 91 BALB/c mice without MCMV infection were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group (n=56) and a control group (n= 35). The mice in the experimental group were treated by inoculating MCMV intratesticularly, while those in the controlled group were directly inoculated with DMEM without MCMV. The mice in both groups were sacrificed separately on the day 1,1.5, 2, 4, 6, 9 and 14 post-inoculation (D1, 1.5,2, 4, 6, 9 and 14 PI). The MCMV M83 mRNA gene was detected in the testis by in situ hybridization (ISH) with MCMV late-mRNA probe labeled with digoxin.Sperm viability of mature sperm in the epididymis cauda was measured. The results demonstrated the positive signal of ISH of MCMV was found mainly in the cytoplasm of the testicular interstitial cells and spermatogenic cells in the experimental group. Compared with that in the controlled group, the sperm viability in the experimental group was decreased significantly on D1 PI and D1.5PI (P< 0.05). No statistically significant difference in the sperm viability was found after D2 PI between two groups (P>0.05). This suggested that sperm viability in mice might be descended significantly shortly after MCMV infection and might return to normal with time, indicating that MCMV acute infection might temporarily degrade sperm quality and influence procreation transiently.

The purpose is to study the prophylactic and therapeutic effect of the traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)-Jinyebaidu (JYBD) to guinea pig cytomegalovirus (GPCMV) intrauterine infec tion. The virus-free female and male guinea pigs were screened with nest-polymerase chain reaction (N-PCR). After inbred, pregnant guinea pigs were selected and divided into 3 groups randomly: 5guniea pigs of the blank control group were not given either GPCMV or JYBD. 31 guniea pigs of the positive control group were inoculated 1 mL (107 TCID50 ) suspension of GPCMV intraperitoneal. 10 guniea pigs of the experimental group were inoculated GPCMV firstly and then perfused stomach with JYBD for 14 days (Dosage in accordance with the modulus of the weight ratio of human to guniea pig). The effects of JYBD on the intrauterine infection of GPCMV were observed.The results showed that JYBD could decrease the maternal infection rate from 100 % (31/31) to 50% (5/10) (P<0. 001), the intrauterine infection rate from 100 % (72/72) to 75 % (21/28) (P<0. 001), and the rate of abnormal outcome of pregnancy from 64.4 % (29/45) to 25.0 % (7/28)(P<0. 001), the infective symptoms being relieved. It can be concluded that traditional Chinese medicine JYBD can prevent and treat GPCMV intrauterine infection, and can be expected a prophy lactic drug for HCMV intrauterine infection.
