    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Ding-kun-dan (DKD), as one of well-known traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is considered as an effective prescription to regulate menstruation, benefit Qi and nourish the blood. Previous studies had showed that DKD could improve sex hormone levels, insulin resistance, metabolism abnormalities and regulate immunity in animal models with polycystic ovary syndrome or endometriosis, however, little study conducted to reveal its clinical efficacy in Primary Dysmenorrhea (PD).
    Aim of the study: To compare the effect of Ding-kun-dan (DKD) with Marvelon on relief of symptoms and change of serum pain-related factors in patients with primary dysmenorrhea.
    Materials and method: 136 patients with primary dysmenorrhea were randomly assigned to the DKD group (n = 73, take one tablet per day from 5th day of the menstrual cycle for 10 days every 28 days) and the Marvelon group (n = 63, take one tablet per day from 5th day of the menstrual cycle for 21 days every 28 days), the therapeutic effects were analyzed through evaluating the change of VAS scores, CMSS scores and the level of PGF
    Results: Both DKD and Marvelon could effectively relief pain and other associated symptoms at each visit (Baseline, 4
    Conclusion: Ding-kun-dan is another available, effective and safe method for patients with primary dysmenorrhea to choose, especially for those who are suffered from mild pain and/or contraindicated to hormonal agents.

    Abstract Ding-kun-dan (DKD), as one of well-known traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is considered as an effective prescription to regulate menstruation, benefit Qi and nourish the blood. Previous studies had showed that DKD could improve sex hormone levels, insulin resistance, metabolism abnormalities and regulate immunity in animal models with polycystic ovary syndrome or endometriosis, however, little study conducted to reveal its clinical efficacy in Primary Dysmenorrhea (PD). To compare the effect of Ding-kun-dan (DKD) with Marvelon on relief of symptoms and change of serum pain-related factors in patients with primary dysmenorrhea. 136 patients with primary dysmenorrhea were randomly assigned to the DKD group (n = 73, take one tablet per day from 5th day of the menstrual cycle for 10 days every 28 days) and the Marvelon group (n = 63, take one tablet per day from 5th day of the menstrual cycle for 21 days every 28 days), the therapeutic effects were analyzed through evaluating the change of VAS scores, CMSS scores and the level of PGF₂ₐ, PGE₂, PGF₂ₐ/PGE₂ and NO during the 12 weeks intervention. Both DKD and Marvelon could effectively relief pain and other associated symptoms at each visit (Baseline, 4ᵗʰ week, 8ᵗʰ week and 12ᵗʰ week). Although Marvelon was significantly superior to DKD in reducing VAS scores, the total CMSS, CMSS severity and duration scores at each posttreatment follow-up (P < 0.01), VAS scores in the DKD group decreased significantly over time while scores in the COC group only dropped rapidly after the first two months of treatment. Efficacy gap between two interventions continuously narrowed over time and the efficacy of DKD became non-inferior at the 12ᵗʰ week compared to that of Marvelon (the difference between groups, – 0.78%; 95% confidence interval (CI), −13.67%–12.75%; non-inferiority margin, 15%). DKD group had better efficacy on mild pain compared to that of the COC group with no statistical difference (75% VS 61.9%, P > 0.05). DKD and Marvelon could effectively reduce PGF₂ₐ, PGE₂ and higher PGF₂ₐ/PGE₂ in patients with PD. There was no statistical difference in the level of PGF₂ₐ, PGE₂, PGF₂ₐ/PGE₂ and NO between DKD and Marvelon group at each follow-up. No serious adverse effect was observed. Ding-kun-dan is another available, effective and safe method for patients with primary dysmenorrhea to choose, especially for those who are suffered from mild pain and/or contraindicated to hormonal agents.

    Design setting and participants: Women eligible for IVF-ET were invited to participate in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, superiority trial at academic fertility centers of ten public hospitals in Chinese Mainland. A total of 462 patients (35-44 years) equally divided between DKP and placebo groups with antral follicle count (AFC) <5 or anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) <1.2 ng/ml were randomized.
    Interventions: All participants were given DKP or 7 g placebo twice daily on the previous menstrual cycle day 5 until oocyte retrieval, which took approximately 5 to 6 weeks.
    Main outcome measure: The primary outcome was the ongoing pregnancy defined as more than 20 gestational weeks of an intrauterine living fetus confirmed by pelvic ultrasonography.
    Results: Demographic characteristics were equally distributed between the study populations. Intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis revealed that ongoing pregnancy rate (OPR) was not significantly different between DKP and placebo groups [26.4% (61/231) versus 24.2% (56/231); relative risk (RR) 1.09, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.80 to 1.49,
    Conclusion: This well-designed randomized controlled trial (RCT) offers new high-quality evidence to supplement existing retrospective literature concerning DKP performance in expected PORs. DKP could be recommended as a safe and natural remedy for expected PORs (aged 35-37 years) who fulfill the POSEIDON group 4 criteria. However, additional interventional clinical studies are undoubtedly required to be conducted in the future to validate this hypothesis.

    Abstract Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), a typical representative of phthalate esters (PAEs), is used as a plasticizer in various industrial applications and has been reported to be responsible for neurobehavioral changes. Despite mounting evidence showing that nimodipine (Nim) palys a neuropharmacological and psychopharmacological role in neurons, the attenuating effects of Nim on learning and memory impairment induced by DBP exposure remain unknown. Based on bioinformatics analysis we found that the biological processes affected by both DBP and Nim may involve the calcium signaling pathway, the MAPK signaling pathway and the apoptosis pathway. The results of an in vivo study confirmed that DBP affects the levels of Ca

    Abstract The aim of the present study was to investigate the molecular mechanism associated with the traditional Chinese medicine formula Gui Zhu Yi Kun formula (GZYKF), in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In this study, granulosa cells (GCs) of rats with PCOS were cultured and treated with testosterone propionate (TP) alone or with serum from rats treated with different doses of GZYKF. The effect of TP on cell growth was assayed using the MTT method. Expression levels of Beclin-1, light chain (LC)3, mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), tumor suppressor p53 (p53), adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), sestrin2 and tuberous sclerosis protein 1/2 were evaluated using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. It was demonstrated that TP increased the expression of Beclin-1 and LC3, whereas GZYKF significantly decreased the TP-induced expression of Beclin-1 (P<0.01). Additionally, GCs treated with GZYKF exhibited significant increases in mTOR, phosphorylated mTOR and AMPKα expression levels, and significant reductions in p53 and sestrin2 expression levels were observed. In conclusion, the findings of the present study suggest that a reduction in ovarian GCs in rats with PCOS may be associated with GC autophagy. Furthermore, the effects of GZYKF in mediating the p53/AMPK pathway may inhibit GC autophagy, which suggests a possible novel mechanism underlying the treatment of PCOS with GZYKF.

    Abstract ObjectiveThe primary objective of the study was to assess traditional Chinese formula DKP supplementation in terms of efficacy and safety on reproductive outcomes of expected poor ovarian responder (POR, POSEIDON Group 4) undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET).Design, Setting, and ParticipantsWomen eligible for IVF-ET were invited to participate in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, superiority trial at academic fertility centers of ten public hospitals in Chinese Mainland.

No significant differences between groups were observed for the secondary outcomes. The additional per protocol (PP) analysis was in line with ITT results: OPR in DKP group was 27.2% (61/224) versus 24.1% (55/228) in placebo group [RR 1.13, 95%CI (0.82 to 1.55), P = 0.449]. After subgroup analysis the findings concluded that POR population of 35–37 years had a significantly higher OPR after 5–6 weeks of oral DKP (41.8%, 33/79) versus placebo (25.4%, 18/71) [RR 1.65, 95% CI (1.02 to 2.65), P = 0.034, P for interaction = 0.028].ConclusionThis well-designed randomized controlled trial (RCT) offers new high-quality evidence to supplement existing retrospective literature concerning DKP performance in expected PORs.

    Abstract Hyperprolactinemia(HPRL) is one of the diseases leading to anovulatory infertility, which is a refractory gynecological disease and seriously affects female reproductive function. Professor MA Kun has summarized his experience in clinical and scientific studies for many years. And believes that kidney deficiency is the pathogenesis of HPRL and blood stasis is the dominant pathological manifestation of HPRL and can promote the progress of the disease. In view of this, Professor MA Kun took the therapy of kidney-tonifying and blood-activating as the principle for treating anovulatory infertility caused by HPRL, with soothing the liver and promoting Qi as adjuvant therapies. She has also summarized and refined the prescriptions for tonifying kidney and inducing ovulation, which have a remarkable clinical efficacy.
