Yimu San improves obstetric ability of pregnant mice by increasing serum oxytocin levels and connexin 43 expression in uterine smooth muscle.

Prolonged farrowing remains one of the critical challenges in intensive pig farming. This study aims to explore the effects and mechanism of Yimu San (YMS), a Chinese veterinary medicine micro mist, on delivery ability with mouse models. Thirty-two pregnant mice were randomly divided into a control group and low-YMS, med-YMS, and high-YMS groups.

[Effect of immunotherapy on house dust mite allergen-specific IgG1 and igG4 antibodies in nasal secretion for patients with perennial allergic rhinitis].

Objective: To investigate the effect of immunotherapy on allergen-specific IgG1 and IgG4 in nasal secretion for patients with nasal allergy.

Methods: Nasal secretion was collected with suction from normal subjects, patients with allergic rhinitis untreated and treated with immunotherapy. Indirect, non-competitive streptavidin-biotin ELISA was applied to analyze allergen-specific IgG1 and IgG4 in nasal secretion.
