[Observation on therapeutic effect of acupoint application on dysmenorrhea of excess syndrome and effect on prostaglandins].
    Zhongguo zhen jiu = Chinese acupuncture & moxibustion, 2009, Volume: 29, Issue:4

    To observe therapeutic effect of acupoint application on dysmenorrhea of excess syndrome and its effect on prostaglandins.. The patients with primary dysmenorrhea of excess syndrome were randomly divided into an application group and a medication group. The application group of 31 cases were treated with application of Chinese medicine composed of Zhinanxing (Rhizoma Arisaematis), Sanleng (Rhizoma Sparganii), Ezhu (Rhizoma Zedoariae), etc. at Zhongji (CV 3), Guanyuan (CV 4), Qihai (CV 6); and the medication group of 30 cases were treated with oral administration of Tianqi Tongjing Capsules. The scores for the pain degrees and the duration of dysmenorrhea were observed and prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) contents in peripheral blood were determined before and after treatment.. The total effective rate of 93.5% in the application group was significantly better than 73.3% in the medication group (P < 0.05); after treatment, the scores of the symptoms were significantly decreased in the two groups (both P < 0.01), with more obvious improvement in the application group than the medication group (P < 0.01). The PGE2 content was significantly increased, and the PGF2alpha content and PGF2alpha/PGE2 were significantly decreased in the application group (all P < 0.01).. Acupoint application has a better therapeutic effect on dysmenorrhea of excess syndrome and has benign regulative action on synthesis of prostaglandins in the patients with primary dysmenorrhea.

Isoprostane-8 and GDF-15 as novel markers of post-PE syndrome: Relation with prothrombotic factors.
    European journal of clinical investigation, 2022, Volume: 52, Issue:1

    Post-pulmonary embolism (PE) syndrome occurs in up to 50% of PE patients. The pathophysiology of this syndrome is obscure.. We investigated whether enhanced oxidative stress and prothrombotic state may be involved in post-PE syndrome.. We studied 101 normotensive noncancer PE patients (aged 56.5 ± 13.9 years) on admission, after 5-7 days and after a 3-month anticoagulation, mostly with rivaroxaban. A marker of oxidative stress, 8-isoprostane, endogenous thrombin potential, fibrinolysis proteins, clot lysis time (CLT) and fibrin clot permeability (K. Enhanced oxidative stress and prothrombotic fibrin clot properties could be involved in the pathogenesis of the post-PE syndrome. Elevated growth differentiation factor 15 assessed at 3 months might be a new biomarker of this syndrome.

Oxidative stress and increased formation of vasoconstricting F2-isoprostanes in patients with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome.
    Free radical biology & medicine, 2013, Volume: 61

    The pathophysiology of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is unknown. Oxidative stress is detrimental to endothelial function and vascular reactivity. We hypothesized that the oxidative stress marker 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α, which is also a potent vasoconstrictor, might contribute to the pathogenesis of RCVS. Recruited participants included 103RCVS patients, 53 patients with primary headache with acute severe attacks, and 54 healthy controls. Subjects recruited prior to 2009 were discovery cohort, whereas those after 2009, replication cohort. Urine samples were obtained from all patients at registration and from 79 patients with RCVS again at remission stage. Urine 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α was analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Patients with RCVS received magnetic resonance angiography and transcranial color-coded sonography. In RCVS patients, the urine 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α level was higher than that in the other groups in discovery, replication, and combined cohorts (RCVS, 0.29±0.18; primary headache with acute severe attacks, 0.21±0.19; control, 0.18±0.09ng/mg creatinine; P<0.001), and it was positively correlated with the flow velocities of major intracranial arteries, especially within the first week of disease onset (middle cerebral artery, Spearman's correlation coefficient [rs]=0.580, P=0.002; anterior cerebral artery, rs=0.472, P=0.042; posterior cerebral artery, rs=0.457, P=0.022; basilar artery, rs= 0.530, P=0.002). The 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α level decreased from the ictalto remission stage in RCVS patients (0.31±0.21 vs 0.16±0.10ng/mg creatinine, P<0.001). 8-Iso-prostaglandin F2α was higher in patients with RCVS and correlated with the severity of vasoconstrictions. Further studies are required to explore its potential pathogenic role.

Effect of mimicking prepartum concentration of estradiol-17 beta on the inflammatory response to endotoxin in gilts.
    American journal of veterinary research, 1994, Volume: 55, Issue:6

    The effect of mimicking prepartum concentration of estradiol-17 beta on the inflammatory response to endotoxin in gilts was studied. The study was performed in a split-litter design and comprised 5 pairs of littermates. A catheter was inserted into the jugular vein 2 days prior to the start of the study. In each pair, 1 littermate was treated IM with 2.5 mg of estradiol-17 beta/75 kg of body weight, and the other littermate was given peanut oil IM as a control. The day after treatment, all gilts were challenge-exposed with a Salmonella typhimurium-derived endotoxin (1 microgram/kg, IV) and the inflammatory response to challenge exposure was monitored. There was no effect of estradiol treatment on the transient clinical signs of endotoxemia or on the increase in rectal temperature. The increase in blood concentrations of prostaglandin F2 alpha metabolite and cortisol after endotoxin challenge exposure was not affected by estradiol. Decrease in number of circulating blood mononuclear cells and polymorphonuclear leukocytes was not changed by estradiol treatment. Taken together, mimicking prepartum concentration of estradiol did not affect either the magnitude or the kinetics of the inflammatory response to endotoxin in gilts. Relevance of these findings to development of endotoxin-mediated diseases, such as the postpartum agalactia syndrome, needs further study.

The syndrome of hypertension and hyperkalaemia with normal glomerular filtration rate: is there a deficiency in vasodilator prostaglandins?
    Clinical and experimental pharmacology & physiology, 1991, Volume: 18, Issue:5

    1. In Gordon's syndrome (GS; a syndrome of hypertension and hyperkalaemia with normal glomerular filtration rate), excessive proximal sodium reabsorption leads to suppression of renin and aldosterone, hyperkalaemia and hyperchloraemic acidosis. 2. Low urinary levels of vasodilator prostaglandins (PG) have been reported in GS, suggesting renal hypoprostaglandinism as a pathophysiological mechanism. 3. In four cases of GS, levels of vasodilator prostaglandins PGE2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha were low. 4. In one case of GS, low PGE2 levels were normalized by dietary salt restriction or diuretic therapy.

[Urine excretion of PGE2, PGF2 alpha in patients with deficiency-cold syndrome and deficiency-heat syndrome].
    Zhong xi yi jie he za zhi = Chinese journal of modern developments in traditional medicine, 1990, Volume: 10, Issue:10

    The 3 hours' urine excretion of PGE2 and PGF2 alpha in 32 patients and 19 healthy persons were determined by RIA. According to TCM, the patients were divided into two groups: 17 cases of deficiency-cold syndrome and 15 cases of deficiency-heat syndrome. The result showed that in patients with deficiency-cold syndrome, the excretion of urine PGE2 was lower than that of the normal control (P less than 0.05), while the excretion of urine PGF2 alpha higher than that of the normal control (P less than 0.01) and hence the PGE2/PGF2 alpha ratio was much lower (P less than 0.01); in those with deficiency-heat syndrome, the excretion of urine PGE2 was higher (P less than 0.01), the excretion of urine PGF2 alpha had no significant change (P greater than 0.05) from the normal, and the PGE2/PGF2 alpha ratio was higher (P less than 0.01). The above result indicates a close relationship between prostaglandins and the cold and heat nature of syndromes in TCM. In connection with our previous studies that showed decreased functioning of the sympathetic-adrenomedullary system and/or increased functioning of the parasympathetic nervous system with diminished catecholamines and reduced cAMP/cGMP ratio in deficiency-cold syndrome while increased functioning of the sympathetic-adrenomedullary system with augmented catecholamines and cAMP in deficiency-heat syndrome, the change of prostaglandins level can be considered as an intermediate link in the pathogenesis of syndromes different in cold and heat nature.
