Objective:The effectiveness of Bushen Huoxue(BSHX)Decoction was verified from both clinical research and animal experimental research,to explore the mechanism of BSHX Decoction in the treatment of recurrent spontaneous abortion(RSA)patients in prethrombotic state.Methods:Part 1: Clinical study of Bushen Huoxue Decoction in the treatment of RSA in prethrombotic stateFrom March 2019 to February 2021,98 patients who met the inclusion criteria in the outpatient department of Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine and the First Maternity and Child Health Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University were selected and randomly divided into 49 cases in the control group and 49 cases in the test group.In the same period,30 early-pregnant women and 30 non-pregnant women each had a history of at least one live birth were included.The study was carried out in three stages: In the first stage,the control group was treated with aspirin+dydrogesterone.The experimental group was treated with BSHX Decoction I on the basis of the treatment of the control group for a total of 3 months,strictly contraception during the treatment.In the second stage,self-pregnancy is tried for 6months after treatment,and drug treatment is suspended during the trial period.In the third stage,36 cases were included in the control group of confirmed intrauterine pregnancy patients,and 39 cases in the test group were treated.The control group was treated with low-molecular-weight heparin+aspirin+dydrogesterone,and the test group was treated with BSHX Decoction II on the basis of the control group.The observation time is up to 12 weeks of gestation.If the embryo stops developing,stop the observation and medication.The study observed the 12-week pass rate(main curative effect index)of the control group and the test group,and the secondary efficacy index mainly included(1)TCM syndrome scores,D-Dimer,PAGT,anti-β2GP1 antibody and ACA levels of the two groups before and after the first stage treatment;(2)6-7 weeks,10-11 weeks’ gestation,B ultrasound uterine artery blood flow(PI,RI,S/D)of the two groups;(3)Pregnancy 6-7 weeks,8-9 weeks,10-11 weeks embryo development(abnormal rate of gestational sac,embryo,sac bud)of the two groups;(4)Control group,test group,normal group before the first stage treatment and 6 weeks of pregnancy HA,VEGF,NO content.Using SPSS23.0 software for statistics,P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Part II: Experimental Study of Bushen Huoxue Decoction on Vascular Endothelial Barrier and Blood Flow in RSA Model MiceCBA/J♀ mice were mated with DBA/2J♂ mice to establish a spontaneous abortion model,and BALB/c♀ mice were mated with DBA/2J♂ mice to establish a RSA model.The spontaneous abortion models were randomly divided into traditional Chinese medicine group,western medicine group,and model group.The traditional Chinese medicine group was given 15.0g/kg/bottle/day of Bushen Huoxue Decoction from the0.5th day of pregnancy,and the western medicine group was given 3.1 mg/kg/bottle/day of Dydrogesterone water solution from the 0.5th day of pregnancy.The normal group and the model group an equal volume of distilled water was administered on the 0.5th day of pregnancy,and each group was given intragastric administration for 13 days.Placental tissue was taken after anesthesia on the 13.5th day of pregnancy,the embryo absorption rate of each group was observed,and the placental decidua of each group was observed by HE staining method.And trophoblast cell tissue morphology changes,ELISA method to detect peripheral blood TXA2 and PGI2 content,nitrate reductase method to detect placental tissue NO content,Western Blot method to detect placental tissue VEGF and VE-cadherin protein content,RT-PCR method to detect placenta Tissue HA synthase HAS-1,HAS-2,HAS-3 and HA enzyme Hyal-1,Hyal-2,Hyal-3 m RNA content.Results:Part 1:1.The pass rate at 12 weeks of pregnancy in the control group was 75%,and the pass rate at 12 weeks in the test group was 94.87%.The difference between the two groups was

level of anti-β2GP1 antibody in the peripheral blood of patients with RSA in the prethrombotic state,while inhibiting the decomposition of HA,and has the effect of maintaining the integrity of the vascular barrier before and after pregnancy.3.Bushen Huoxue Decoction can improve the uterine artery blood flow pulsation index and blood flow resistance index in prethrombotic RSA patients,which was beneficial to the blood supply of early embryos.4.Bushen Huoxue Decoction can balance the content of VEGF and VE-cadherin at the maternal-fetal interface of RSA mice,promote the release of NO,inhibit vascular endothelial cell dysfunction,and promote vascular remodeling.5.Bushen Huoxue Decoction can increase the transcription of m RNA HAS-1 and m RNA HAS-2,promote the expression of HA in polymer form,and specifically inhibit the inflammatory reaction of the maternal-fetal interface. |
