17"different" adhesion, invasion, growth, is the key difference between eutopic endometrium, eutopic endometrium of endometriosis is a decisive factor of occurrence disease and endometriosis recurrence.Chinese medicine treatment of endometriosis in clinical advantages unique increasingly medical attention. In the experiment of tanshinone IIA in endometriosis patients, to study its effect on endometrium adhesion. Materials and methods
1. Patients with endometriosis eutopic endometrial cells and cells of normal endometrium culture
2. Effects of Tanshinone IIA in eutopic endometrium adhesion index of endometriosis
3. Refer to method to culture cells of Ryan, we successfully established Eutopic endometrium cell of endometriosis in vitro model.
4. We put different concentrations of Tanshinone IIA on the Eutopic endometrium cell of endometriosis, Using the western blot method to test protein content of expression of E-cadherin, CD44V6, ICAM-1.
Results and discussion
1. This study confirmed that training of the two groups of different period of Eutopic endometrium and training of the two groups of different seasons both had statistical significance. P<0.05.But training of the two groups of different ways of getting material of Eutopic endometrium had no statistical significance, P>0.050
2. Protein of E-cadherin, CD44V6, ICAM-1 in Control group are high expression, comparing with this group, High dose group of Tanshinone IIA had lower expression, p<0.01 ; Middle dose group and low dose group of Tanshinone IIA had lowest expression, p<0.05.
3. This study successfully established the cell culture model in vitro of patients with endometriosis eutopic endometrial cells of the uterus.
4. The experimental results showed that IIA could increase the content of tanshinone endometriosis eutopic endometrial cell adhesion protein E-cadherin, CD44v6 and ICAM-1 in the occurrence and development of uterine, may prevent the endometriosis.

Introduction
Endometriosis is a common disease of fertile women, defined by the presence of ectopic endometrial glands and stroma. The incidence of endometriosis is rising recently, the disease performance diversity, so far the pathogenesis of it is unclear. Calpain5 is a member of the cytoplasmic cysteine protease family, a group of Ca++ regulated enzymes. Calpains in general, and in particular Calpain5, have been implicated in multiple cellular processes including cellular differentiation and apoptosis.
Materials and Methods
Tissue collection
10 endometrial biopsies were obtained from women with hysteromyoma as controls. Histologically confirmed biopsies of endometriosis from these wih endometriosis were obtained from 16 women.All women were in the reproductive age were not using hormonal medication within 3 months. Approvals were obtained from four hospitals of Medicine Human Investigations Committee.
Materials
PMSF(100mm), TEMEMD, DMSO, DMEM/F12, enzyme, ELIASA, centrifugal, Su perClean bench, Gel Imaging et al.
Cell culture
Eutopic endometrium were obtained from 16women with endometriosis as a group, 10 eutopic endometrium were obtained from women without endometriosis as controls. Isolated and culture primary glandular epithelial cells and stromal cells.Each was supplemented with 15% charcoal-stripped calf serum,1.5% penicillin/streptomycin .Placed in 37 ° C , 5 % CO2 cell incubator cultured overnight.

Endometriosis in women of childbearing age in the incidence rate of 10-15% , 30-50 % accompanied dysmenorrhea , 80% of patients with pelvic chronic pain , 50% with infertility[1] . With the increased incidence of endometriosis has become a veritable " modern disease " . Endometriosis and in-depth , but its incidence caused by lesions morphological diversity , internal specific pathogenesis of endometriosis is still not clear enough .With the the eutopic endometrium
decision proposed , for the study of the pathogenesis of endometriosis bring new ideas and direction of endometriosis occurs due to abnormal eutopic endometrium biological behavior expressed.
CAPN5 a neutral cysteinyl amino acid protease family , depending on the catalytic subunit , were classified as non -classical , is a calcium -dependent protease. Shows CAPN5 in man and rodents significant homology , there is 87% DNA and 95% of the same protein sequence , while , CAPN5 Caenorhabditis TRA-3 homology shows that this protein gene evolution reproductive function , in the current report , not yet see CAPN5 disease-related [3]D CAPN5 expression in multiple tissues of the human body , including the nervous system , uterus , placenta , etc. [4-5]Recently, academic studies show that CAPN5 expression go in both glandular epithelial cells and stromal cells , and its expression can be sustained throughout the menstrual cycle , and showed increased expression levels in the secretory phase.In1933 CAPNs was first reported to induce apoptosis , the researchers pointed out the , CAPNs participate in certain stimulation caused by the process of apoptosis , but the specific apoptotic mechanism mediated pathway remains unclear.The CAPN5 as a CAPNs family can participate in the activities of a variety of cells , including cell differentiation and apoptosis[6]. CAPN5 mediated pathway of apoptosis perform protein caspase3, and can be activated to induce cell apoptosis can also be induced pathway mediated by mitochondria ,cells-resulting in apoptosis of isletcells [7-10].
Research and investigate the expression levels of CAPN5 eutopic endometrium of endometriosis patients , is of positive significance for further discussion to address the endometrium of endometriosis pathogenesis and treatment strategies. The experimental research study results showed that the Endometriosis women reign the endometrial cells CAPN5 protein , both at the level of gene regulation in protein expression levels are significantly lower than the normal control group of women, CAPN5 low level of expression , including may be of great significance to the development of endometriosis , endometriosis eutopic endometrial cell apoptosis in abnormal regulation , resulting in reduced apoptosis , in ectopic pelvic activity , survival The ability proliferative capacity strengthening , resulting Benbingfasheng .
In summary , apoptosis the protein CAPN5 because the abnormal regulation of the gene , resulting in expression levels were significantly lower in endometriosis eutopic endometrial cells , causing inhibition of apoptosis of endometrial cells , the cells in the long-term survival perhaps plays an important role in the etiology and pathogenesis of endometriosis .

Abstract:Objective: To assess the clinical effect of electroacupuncture for treating prostatic hyperplasia.Methods: Sixty patients with prostatic hyperplasia were randomized into a treatment group and a control group,30 in each. The treatment group was treated byelectroacupuncture, and the control was prescribed with orallytaken Jing Zhu Qian Lie Long Bi Tong Capsule. After treatment, the two groups were compared with each otherinterms of treatment result, international prostate symptom score (I-PSS), quality of life index (QLI), maximumflow rate (Qmax), and residual urine volume (RUV). Results: The total effective rate was 96.7% in the treatmentgroup versus 70.0% in the control, and thedifference was significant (P<0.05). Both groups had markedimprovement in I-PSS, QLI score, Qmax and RUV (P<0.05). Conclusion: By improving I-PSS, QLI, Qmaxand RUV,electroacupuncture is an effective way for treating prostatic hyperplasia.
