RESUMO
Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of Yangjing Zhongyu Tang in treating kidney-Yin deficiency due to repeated implantation failure (RIF). Method:Totally 70 patients with kidney yin deficiency due to repeated implantation failure (RIF) who received the periodic Frozen thawed embyo (FET) after in vitro fertilization (IVF) embryo cryopreservation were selected from the Integrative Medicine Reproductive and Genetics Center of Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM). They were randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 35 cases in each group. All patients were received long protocol controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. Observation group was given Yangjing Zhongyu Tang from the 5th day to the 14th day of the menstrual cycle 1 month before transplantation, and continued to take it on the 5th day of the menstrual cycle in the month of the transplantation. Control group did not given TCM. After treatment, TCM syndrome scores, endometrial thickness, typing, uterine artery pulsation index (PI) and resistance index (RI) of HCG, endometrial secretion leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), blood vessels endothelial growth factor (VEGF), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), number of eggs obtained, fertilization rate and embryo transfer results were observed. Result:After treatment, the scores of TCM syndromes in observation group were significantly improved, with statistically significant difference (PPPβ and LIF of observation group were higher than those of control group, and the MCP-1 was lower than that of control group (PPConclusion:Yangjing Zhongyu Tang can significantly alleviate the clinical symptoms of patients with kidney-Yin deficiency due to RIF, effectively improve the type A endometrial morphology of RIF patients, reduce the uterine artery blood flow resistance, optimize endometrial implantation, and significantly improve the clinical pregnancy rate.
RESUMO
Objective: Based on the analysis of the total components of fingerprint and the determination methods of the existing components in the 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the "point-line-surface" quality standard of Yangjing Zhongyu Tang was established by the "point" of each single component (morroniside, loganin, paeoniflorin, ferulic acid and verbascoside) to the "line" of multicomponent and the "face" of fingerprint of the whole component. Method: XB-C18 column (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm) was used for gradient elution of 0.1% phosphoric acid aqueous solution-acetonitrile. The column temperature was 30℃, the injection volume was 10 μL, the flow rate was 1.0 mL·min-1, and the detection wavelengths were 240, 316, 230, 334 nm. The contents of these five components in Yangjing Zhongyu Tang were determined by three correction methods, external standard method and regression equation method. At the same time, the fingerprint of Yangjing Zhongyu Tang were analyzed by total component analysis and similarity evaluation. Result: With ferulic acid as reference, the relative correction factor (f) of morroniside, loganin, paeoniflorin and verbascoside were 0.392 1, 0.421 4, 0.261 7, 0.268 6 by multi-point correction method, and their f (slope correction method) were 0.385 4, 0.419 4, 0.255 9, 0.274 0, respectively. Twenty characteristic peaks of fingerprint were analyzed and the similarity was ≥ 0.999.There was no significant difference in the contents of these five components from Yangjing Zhongyu Tang determined by the quantitative assay of multi-components by single-marker (QAMS) correction method, the external standard method and the regression equation method. Conclusion: The comprehensive quality standard established by the total component analysis of fingerprint combined with various determination methods of existing components in the 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia has been validated in famous classical formula of Yangjing Zhongyu Tang, which can provide ideas and methods for the quality control with quantitative determination and fingerprint of other famous classical formulas.
RESUMO
Yangjing Zhongyu Tang, from FU Qing-zhu Nvke, is a famous classical formula of clinical value for treating blood deficiency syndrome of female infertility in the Qing dynasty. The prescription seems plain, but it is rigorous and effective with high research value. In this paper, the ancient books and modern documents of Yangjing Zhongyu Tang were analyzed from the aspects of traceability of Chinese materia medica in the formula, pharmacological research, clinical research, etc. It could be concluded that the pharmacological studies of this formula were mostly to investigate the mechanism and efficacy of its treatment for infertility, but there was a lack of comprehensive interpretation of the structure, function and principle of pharmacodynamic substance in this formula. In this paper, combined with the contents of supramolecular imprinting template and network pharmacology, the new direction of pharmacological research of Chinese medicine compound was put forward. Quality control of Yangjing Zhongyu Tang mostly based on small molecule compounds, so it was suggested to break the inherent thinking, and increase the detection of macromolecule compounds and supramolecular of Chinese materia medica. The druggability of this formula involved in the preliminary study of decoctions, plasters and granules. Considering the quality stability of Chinese materia medica in the formula and the scientificity of druggability of this formula, the compatibility principle of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modern supramolecular chemistry theory could be combined to study the change law of druggability of TCM before and after compatibility, so as to provide new reference materials for the follow-up clinical application and development of Yangjing Zhongyu Tang.
