Mining analysis on composition and medication of menstruation prescriptions in Fu Qingzhu's Obstetrics and Gynecology / 中国中药杂志

In this paper, menstruation prescriptions were selected from "Fu Qingzhu's Obstetrics and Gynecology" and analyzed by using GRI algorithm, correlation analysis, hierarchical clustering method through SPSS, Clementine and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) inheritance auxiliary systems, in order to screen out 15 menopathy prescriptions, which involve 45 traditional Chinese medicine herbs. In the study, blood-tonifying and qi-tonifying herbs were found to be frequent in the prescriptions. The most frequent single herb was white paeony root, accounting for 9.6% in the total number of prescriptions; The most frequent herb pairs were white paeony root-radix rehmanniae preparata and paeony root-angelica sinensis. Among Fu Shan's menopathy prescriptions, 61 herbal pairs showed a correlation coefficient exceeding 0.05, which evolved into 16 pairs of core combinations. The analysis showed that menopathy prescriptions in volume 1 of "Fu Qingzhu's Obstetrics and Gynecology" focused on tonic traditional Chinese medicines involving liver, spleen and kidney and were adjusted according to changes in qi, blood, cold, hot and wet, which could provide a specific reference for further studies on Fu Shan's academic thoughts and traditional Chinese medicine clinical treatment of menopathy.

Association of the polymorphism of platelet membrane glycoprotein I a gene with myocardial infarction / 中华医学遗传学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Platelet membrane glycoprotein (GP) Ia/IIa complex is the major collagen receptor on platelets. Platelet activation by GP Ia/ IIa dependent adhesion leads to cellular events that catalyze prothrombin conversion and fibrin clot formation. Correlation between the polymorphism of platelet membrane GP Ia gene and myocardial infarction (MI) was explored.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 137 patient s with myocardial infarction and 175 controls with no history of coronary heart disease, thrombogenic and hemorrhagenic diseases were studied by case-control. Platelet GP I a gene 807 C/T polymorphisms were checked by polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primers.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were significant differences in the distribution of T and C alleles between MI and control groups (T:42.70% vs 32.00%, C:57.30% vs 68.00%, P<0.001). No matter among all subjects or among subjects aged <or= 60 years, the prevalence of genotypes (TT+TC) in MI group was significantly higher than that in control group [in all subjects; 69.34% vs 51.43%, P<0.005, odds ratio(OR)=2.14, 95% CI: 1.34-3.41; in subjects aged <or= 60 years; 75.90% vs 51. 52%, P<0.005, OR=2.96,95% CI 1.58-5.55]. Platelet GP Ia T allele was significantly associated with MI by multiple logistic regression (OR=4.96, 95% CI:2.55-10.90).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The above data suggest that there is a strong association between the presence of GP Ia T allele and MI. T allele ca n be a marker of genetic susceptibility to MI. These need to be substantiated by a large scale and prospective study.</p>
