In association with its beneficial effects on gentamycin nephrotoxity in vivo study, it is indicated that CS could enhance the regeneration of injured tubular cells. In addition, sera obtained from 5/6 nephrectomized rats (5/6 NT) and rhubarb treated rats were studied to see their effects on tubular cells growth.

These PGs changes after gossypol acetate, progesterone, danazol and gonadotrophin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) treatment were studied. High PGs levels were observed in endometriotic cell, and higher in endometrial cell in situ of patients than in endometrial cell of healthy persons (P less than 0.01). After treatment with drug (but not GnRHa), the prostacyclin (PGI2) and TXB2 content were reduced in endometriotic cell, and the TXB2 contents were reduced in endometrial cell in situ (P less than 0.01). These results indicate that endometriotic cell and endometrial cell in situ can produce more PGI2 and TXB2--at least in vitro, which perhaps may provide an explanation for the puzzling clinical phenomenon of endometriosis. Gossypol acetate, progesterone and danazol inhibit PGI2 and TXB2 content in endometrial cell of patients with endometriosis.
