Methods: Sixty rats were divided into six groups, the normal control group, the model control group, the large dosage (3.6g/kg) and the small dosage (1.8g/kg ) LRK groups, the Ruzengning (乳增宁, RZN, 2.5g/kg) group and the tamoxifen (TAM, 5mg/kg) group, 10 in each group. Except those in the normal control group, all the animals were made into rat model of HMG by intraperitoneal injection of estradiol benzoate. Levels of dopamine (DA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in hypothalamus and mammary gland in rats were detected by fluorescence luminosity assay, and level of prolactin (PRL) in serum was detected by radioimmunoassay. Results: In the model group, the level of DA reduced significantly ( P<0. 01), and 5-HT and PRL increased obviously ( P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the LRK groups of both dosages and the TAM group had their level of DA significantly increased (P<0. 01), and level of 5-HT significantly decreased ( P<0.01). The serum PRL in both LRK groups was significantly decreased ( P<0. 01). No obvious changes in DA, 5-HT and PRL were found in the RZN group. Conclusion: LRK and TAM have similar effects in regulating the release of neurotransmitter in hypothalamus and mammary gland and serum content of estrogen in the animal models of HMG.展开更多

Hyperplasia of mammary glands is a common disease in the middle-aged women, and it is a precancerous lesion of mammary glands. For many years, the author has used Rugen (ST 18) of the Stomach Meridian of Foot-Yangming as the main point withcertain auxiliary points chosen on basis of the differentiation types to treat the disease and obtained satisfactory therapeutic effects.

Methods: One hundred patients with HMG were randomly assigned to two groups, 50 in each group. The patients in the treated group were orally administered with LRKG thrice a day, one package each time, and those in the control group were given orally Rukuaixiao Tablet (乳块消, RKX) thrice a day, 4 tablets each time. The therapeutic course for both groups was 4 months. The clinical efficacy, pain alleviating rate, as well as changes of local sign and symptom scores were observed before and after treatment. The changes of serum estradiol (E2), progesterone (P), testosterone (T), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and prolactin (PRL) in some randomly selected patients (24 patients in the treated group and 24 in the control group) before and after treatment were measured with radioimmunoassay. Results: The total clinical efficacy in the treated group was superior to that in the control group, significant difference was shown between the two groups (P〈 0.01). The cure-effective rate and total effective rate in the treated group were 70.0%and 88.0% respectively, significantly higher than those in the control group (38.0% and 64.0%) respectively (P〈 0.01), and the pain alleviating rate in the treated group was also significantly higher in the former than that in the latter (88.0% vs 64.0%, P 〈 0.05). Moreover, the treated group showed obvious superiority in improving the patients' symptom and sign scores (P 〈 0.01), and abnormalities of gonadal hormone as compared with the respective items in the control group (P〈0.01). Conclusion: LRKG has good efficacy in the treatment of HMG, and its mechanism may be related to the regulation on endocrine and immune function.展开更多
