Immobilization effect of Ruta graveolens L. on human sperm: a new hope for male contraception

AIM OF THE STUDY: Contraceptive plants which were introduced by folk in traditional remedies are investigated worldwide. In this study, the contraceptive effects of Ruta graveolens L., which has been mentioned for male contraceptive in Iranian traditional folk medicine, was experimented on human sperm. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Different doses of lyophilized aqueous extract of Ruta graveolens L. were added to an amount of fresh semen, containing 10(6) cells in a 1:1 volumic ratio. Motility and viability of cells, DNA status, mitochondrial activity and sperm revival tests were carried out. RESULTS: The sperm immobilization effects of the extract appeared immediately in a does-dependent manner and 100% of the sperms became immotile at a concentration of 100mg/ml but other parameters were intact. After washing the sperms, motility was returned in 30.8+/-3.2% of the sperms, besides coiled tails in 38.6+/-5.5% of the treated cells, in comparison to 12.5+/-2.0% of the control group (p=0.001). The part of the extract, responsible for immobilization of the sperms was stable upon boiling. CONCLUSIONS: As the cells were alive and immotile, probably some ionic currents are blocked by a thermostable component of the plant which can be promising as a new male channel blocker contraceptive.     

Continuity and change in the Mediterranean medical tradition: Ruta spp. (rutaceae) in Hippocratic medicine and present practices

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Ruta is a genus of Rutaceae family. It features mainly shrubby plants, native to the Mediterranean region and present in traditional medicine of this region since Antiquity. The three most diffused species Ruta chalepensis L., Ruta graveolens L., and Ruta montana (L.) L., are morphologically poorly differentiated and were probably interchangeably used during Antiquity. AIM OF THE STUDY: Hippocratic and contemporary medical applications of the Ruta genus in the Mediterranean were compared to check if they result from a continuity of use from the ancient times to nowadays. RESULTS: Ruta spp. was mainly employed in medical preparations by Hippocratic physicians as an abortifacient and emmenagogue. In addition to gynaecological conditions, in several treatises of the Corpus HippocraticumRuta spp. were also recommended as a specific remedy against pulmonary diseases. Ruta spp. leaves and also roots and seeds, were administered for internal use by Hippocratic physicians after having been soaked in wine or mixed with honey or its derivatives. Contemporary traditional uses of Ruta spp. have been assessed in detail in the whole Mediterranean area. CONCLUSION: Nowadays, Ruta spp. is used to treat different conditions but, as a general rule, the external uses are preferred as the toxicity of the plant is widely acknowledged.     

A reproductive screening test of hawthorn

AIM OF STUDY: Hawthorn (Crataegus) has a long history as a medicine. The current clinical use of hawthorn as a heart medicine dates back to the late 19th century. It is well tolerated clinically yet contraindicated in pregnancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To determine the safety of hawthorn to the developing fetus, pregnant rats were dosed daily by gavage using 56 times the human dose of hawthorn on either gestation days (GD) 1-8 or GD 8-15. On GD 20, fetuses were weighed and examined for signs of external, internal or skeletal malformations. Rat fetuses were also explanted on GD 10.5 and cultured with hawthorn extract for 26 h. RESULTS: Hawthorn did not have an adverse effect on embryonic development in vivo or in vitro. CONCLUSIONS: While the results suggest that hawthorn, taken at the recommended dose would have no adverse effects on embryonic development this may be due to the low bioavailability of some hawthorn constituents when taken orally. Pharmacokinetic studies are required to determine the extent of absorption of hawthorn from the small intestine in healthy adults in order to verify its safety.     

老年亚健康状态与中医药保健

人体精气充沛，动作不衰为健康的状态。“老年亚健康状态”亦即老人较青年人偏衰的状态，时老年人除体力外，精神心理状态也是一个重要的方面。人类衰老的亚健康状态的进程，实际上就是整体健康状态——五脏气血逐渐降低的过程，其发展与演变有着肝→心→脾→肺→肾的次序递进关系。老年亚健康状态的摄生原则概括起来有：①顺应自然；②精神调摄；③饮食调养；④体育锻炼。部分老年人因其五脏气衰随年龄的增加，可伴有五脏相应的老年性病证，重在调五脏益元气。对于老年调元益气的药物疗法，宜顺其五脏五行、四时生长化收藏之气而调之。

中西医结合治疗对糖尿病患者血管内皮功能的影响

目的:观察中西医结合治疗糖尿病患者的临床疗效,及其对患者血管内皮功能的影响。方法:将58例糖尿病患者采取随机数字法平均分成对照组和治疗组。对照组给予西医常规治疗,治疗组在对照组用药的基础上,给予口服益气养阴通络方治疗。两组均4周为1个疗程,连续治疗3个疗程。观察两组治疗前后临床症状、空腹血糖(fasting blood-glucose,FBG)、糖化血红蛋白、胰岛素、胰岛素抵抗指数、NO、内皮素-1(endothelin-1,ET-1)和血管内皮生长因子(vascular endothelial growth factor,VEGF)的变化。结果:1对照组、治疗组有效率为72.4%和86.2%,两组有效率比较,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);2治疗后治疗组中医证候积分明显降低(P<0.01),对照组改变不显著,两组间比较,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01);3治疗后两组血FPG、GHB、胰岛素、胰岛素抵抗指数较治疗前明显下降(P<0.01),以治疗组改善更为显著(P<0.05或P<0.01);4治疗后两组NO升高、ET-1、VEGF降低(P<0.01),以治疗组改善更为显著(P<0.05)。结论:中西医结合治疗糖尿病疗效显著,能明显改善患者的临床症状,调节血管内皮功能,对防治糖尿病心血管病变具有一定作用。     

腹腔镜与传统开腹治疗子宫肌瘤的临床效果对比研究

目的探讨腹腔镜手术与传统开腹手术治疗子宫肌瘤的临床效果。方法 71例患者被随机分为实验组（n=36）和对照组（n=35）,实验组组给予腹腔镜子宫肌瘤剔除手术,对照组给予传统开腹手术。结果实验组手术时间显著长于对照组（t=4.386,P〈0.01）,但术中出血量、术后排气时间和住院时间均显著少于对照组（t=4.275,P〈0.01;t=3.369,P〈0.01;t=3.763,P〈0.01）,术后1年复发率差异无统计学意义（x2=2.012,P〉0.05）。结论对于子宫肌瘤我们更倾向于患者行腹腔镜手术,但应根据患者自身具体情况,选择适合自己的手术方式,以有效改善病情。
