RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the efficacy of Xiaoyan Zhixue Capsule (XYZXC) in treating uterus abnormal menorrhagia caused by intrauterine device (IUD) and to study its mechanism.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>IUD users with menorrhagia were randomly divided into two groups, the XYZXC treated group and adrenosoem (AC-17) control group. Endometrial tissue of XYZXC treated group before and after treatment were taken out to observe its morphologic change with optic and electronic microscope. Animal experiment was done to observe the effect of XYZXC in eliminating inflammation of patierts, and the relevant parameters were monitored.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Clinical efficacy: (1) Total effective rate of the treated group was 90.3%, that of control group was 43.5%, comparison between them showed significant difference (P<0.01). (2) Morphological examination of endometrial tissue showed the inflammation in the treated group abated after treatment with the contractible function of helicine artery strengthened. Experimental study showed: (1) The auricular swelling of mice was inhibited by 40.5% in the treated group, the effect was equivalent to that of hydrocortisone (46.9%). (2) Compared with the control group, the plasma 6-keto-PGF1alpha and D-Dimer level in the treated group were markedly lower, and TXB2/6-keto-PGF1alpha ratio and plasma endothelin level were markedly higher (P<0.05 or P<0.01). ET contents in large dosage TCM group was significantly raised (P<0.05). (3) XYZXC could increase amplitude of contraction of the uterus smooth muscle as well as the uterus activity in rats in vivo.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>XYZXC has obvious anti-inflammatory and hemostatic effects, it has marked effect in treating IUD caused pre- and post-menstruation menorrhagia, the possible mechanism may be: (1) Modulating the synthesis of prostaglandin; (2) Antagonizing the IUD caused fibrinolytic hyperfunction; (3) Promoting the synthesis of ET; (4) Increasing the contractility and activity of uterus smooth muscle.</p>

Objective To evaluate the changes of thyroid function during pregnancy in the second and third trimester in the regions with or without iodine deficiency. Methods The serum TSH, FT 3, FT 4 and TT 4 levels of 90 pregnant women (30 from iodine deficient area as study group, 60 from iodine sufficient area as control group) and 30 non pregnant women were assayed by high sensitive immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) or radioimmunoassay (RIA), and urine iodine level of pregnant women before delivery was also examined. Results (1) The serum TSH level in pregnant women in the second and third trimester was significantly higher than that of non pregnant women. The serum free thyroid hormone levels of pregnant women were significantly lower than that of non pregnant women, especially in the third trimester. (2) The serum TSH level of pregnant women from iodine deficient area in the second trimester and before delivery was significantly higher than that of pregnant women from iodine sufficient area (P
