The effect of Chaihu-shugan-san on cytotoxicity induction and PDGF gene expression in cervical cancer cell line HeLa in the presence of paclitaxel +cisplatin.

Chaihu-shugan-san, as a traditional Chinese herbal formula, is composed of seven different herbs. This medicine can treat cancer due to its antioxidant compounds. In this study, the effect of Chaihu-shugan-san was considered on cytotoxicity induction and PDGF gene expression in cervical cancer cell line HeLa at different concentrations and at different times, by the MTT method. Paclitaxel + cisplatin were used as a control in this study. The expression of the PDGF gene was quantitatively evaluated in treated cells by real-time PCR, and a generalized linear model was used to evaluate the effect of the medicine, and Duncan's multiple range tests were used to evaluate the data. The results of the MTT test showed that Chaihu-shugan-san had antitumor properties in different concentrations, but there was a significant difference between this medicine and paclitaxel +cisplatin. Also, examination of gene expression showed that this medicine reduced the expression of the PDGF gene in the HeLa cancer cell line (P ? 0.04). Therefore, Chaihu-shugan-san could be suggested as an effective factor in preventing the growth of cervical cancer cells and controlling angiogenic factors that play an important role in the metastasis of cancerous tumors.

Clinical experience of treating recurrent candidal vaginitis with flueonazole capsule(diflucan capsule) / 中国基层医药

Objective To appraise two kinds of treatment plan of treating recurrent candidal vaginitis with fluconazole capsule. Methods The control group( also called the single medication) :husband and wife take flucon-azole capsule 150mg and add terbinafine hydrochloride vasinal effervescent tablets into the vagina,one time a day and one tablet a tlme,taking 7 days continually is a treatment course;the treatment group( also called taking drugs continu-onsly) :after a treatment course,at the first day of the menstrual period,husband and wife take fluconazole capsule 150mg at the same time, after the clean of menstruation, add terbinafine hydrochloride vaginal effervescent tablets into the vagina,one time a day and one tablet a time,taking 7 days continuously,three months in total. Appraise the two kinds of treatment plans from long-term,short-term curative effect and the recurrent rate. Resu/ts The curative effect of the two kinds of treatment plan about the treatment of recurrent candidal vaginitis,there is no difference between the short-term( one week) curative effect( P>0.05) ,but the long-term curative effect in the group of taking tablets con-tinuously is obviously better than the single medication( P<0.01 ) ,and the recurrent rate also obviously decreases( P<0.01 ). Conclusion The treatment pLan of taking the tablets continuously is the safey, effective treatment plan for the recurrent candidal vaginitis,no adverse reaction had been discovered.
