A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF CHEMOTHERAPEUTICAGENTS IN COMBINATION WITH CHINESE HERBAL COMPOUNDS AS IMMUNOMODULATORS IN MOUSE S_(180)

The effect of the Chinese herbal compound (CHC) on solid sarcoma 180 (S180) in Swiss mice was studied either alone or in combination with 5-fluorouracil (5FU), cyclophosphamide (CYT) or mitomycin C (MMC). The preliminary results indicated that combination treatment seemed to possess better antitumor activity than chemotherapy alone. The treatment with CHC alone however had neither an obvious antitumor effect in tumor bearing mice nor toxicity in normal mice. These results show that CHC may stimulate organs of the immune system such as the spleen to be im-munomodulators and enhance the antitumor activity of some chemotherapeutic agents.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination therapy of tamsulosin and solifenacin for benign prostatic hyperplasia ( BPH) with overactive bladder ( OAB) . Methods 82 patients with OAB and coexisting BPH were randomly divided into tamsulosin group ( n

A Biochemical Study on Combined Treatment of Experimental Silicosis with Tetradrine-PVNO and Tetradrine-QOHP in Rats

A better understanding is needed to explain the mechanism of therapeutic effect of combined use of tetradrine-PVNO and tetradrine-QOHP which play very important roles in treatment of silicosis. Blood prolidase (PLD), monoamine oxidase (MAO) and plasminogen (PLG) in silicotic rats after treatment with tetradrine-PVNO or tetradrine-QOHP were measured. The values obtained were compared with the untreated silicotic rats. It was found that the silicotic rats that received tetradrine-PVNO showed significant increase in PLD and decrease in PLG, but no significant change in MAO. The PLD in plasma of silicotic rats that received tetradrine-QOHP were elevated significantly, but PLG and MAO did not change appreciably. These findings suggest that the combined use of tetradrine-PVNO and tetradrine-QOHP can accelerate the degradation of collagen in silicotic rats

Cloning of Ln Gene Through Combined Approach of Map-based Cloning and Association Study in Soybean

Increasing yield is one of the most important goals in crop breeding. Soybean （Glycine max L. Merr.）, one of the most economically important leguminous seed crops, provides the majority of plant proteins, and more than a quarter of the world＇s food and animal feed （Graham and Vance, 2003）. The yield of soybean is finally determined by the number of seeds per unit area, which affected by many characters, such as height, branching number, photosynthesis, seed size, seed number. The number of seeds per pod is taken for one of the critical components that related to yield （You et al., 1995）.

Study on the physical basis of pressure and particle velocity combine processing

Some basic studies of pressure and particle velocity combine processing such as correlation between them, average acoustic intensity processing, rotating and sharpening of directivity are described. Preliminary results based on theoretical analysis and lake trail will lay a foundation for further research.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON ANTIATHEROSCLEROTIC TREATMENT BY PGE_2 COMBINED WITH VITAMINE AND ESTRADIOL

The effects of single dose of PGE2 combined with vitamin E and with estradiol on experimental atherosclerosis were studied by means of morphological, ultrastructural, autoradiographic and several functional techniques. The results showed that two combined treatment groups had more coordinative inhibition on aortic and coronary atherosclerotic lesions, as well as on platelet aggregation, smooth muscle cell proliferation and lipid peroxidation than that of single dose of PGE2. It was revealed that the coordinative mechanism might be closely related to the synergistic inhibitory function of above-metioned drugs on endothelial permeability, platelet aggregation, smooth muscle cell proliferation and lipid peroxidation.
