The effect of  SYRY-88” on Ureaplasma urealyticum 

       ABSTRACT: SYRY-88 is a complex herb medicine developed by Dr. Zhao Qian, a chief physician in china. The special composition of SYRY-88 makes it possible to treat effectively the majority of SexuallyTransmitted disease (ST disease). The results of the experimentsof pharmacological effect on Ureaplasma urealyticum (Uu.) infectingthe urinary system and reproductive system indicated that this medicine can effectively inhibit Uu at the dilution 1:161:32 of 20% solution. The tests were repeated three times, and the same results were shown. 

一、The experimental aim: The inhibitory effect of SYRY-88 on Uu infecting the human urinary and reproductive system were observed in vitro tests, and it made SYRY-88 to have enough evidence for clinical use. 

二、The experimental materials:

1. SYRY-88 is the powder of complex herb medicines (Lot No. 9201101, 9301115,940111, 94048) supported by Dr, Zhao Qian, a chief physician.

2. The Mycoplasma Strain: Ureaplasma urealyticum type-4 (Uu Type-4), International standard strain, was supported ty the Institute of Capital Pediatrics, Beijing.

3. The medium for mycoplsma: The special culture medium for Uu Type-4 was supported by The Supervisory Institute of Veterinary Medicines, in China.

4. The reagents: yeast extract, urea, phenolsulfonphthalein, horse serum, agrose, standard antiserum against Uu.

5. The equipments of the laboratory: an incubator (37, 5%CO2), a light microscope, a fluorescence microscope, ELISA assay equipment.

 三、The experimental methods:

1. The preparation of the component solution of  “SYRY-88”: The powders of SYRY-88 (Lot No, 921101, 9301115, 940111, 940408) were extracted by soaking in distilled water, then centrifuged and filtered, the solution was aliquoted and stored at-20.

2. Identification of Uu Type-4 and titre assay: Uu Type-4 and titre assay: Uu Type-4 was selected from Uu population, then passage in the culture medium and then the titre was detected.

3. The experimental group:

(1)          “SYRY-88” group: The 20% solution of  SYRY-88 was diluted with the culture mdium into 1:2,1:4,1:8,1:16 ,1:32 ,1:64, 1:128. Each ilution was setted 4 tubes (4ml/each tube).

(2)          control group: The sterilized distilled  water  was  diluted with the culture medum into 1:21:128. Each dilution  was also setted 4 tubes (4c1/each tube).

(3)               The group for the titre assay of Uu Type-4 strain: Uu type-4 was diluted with the culture medium into 10-110-7, and the titre of Uu Type-4 was determined,    1000   CCU was as the inoculation amount according to the results .

(3)          Inoculation ot Uu Type-4 : Uu type-4 were inoculated into the tube of each dilution for “SYRY-88” group and control group individually (1000 CCU/each tube at beginig time).  All  tube were incudated at 37 for severa/ days,  and the colour ofculture medium in each tube was  observed day by day . 

四、 The exper imental results: The tests were repeated for threetimes as describ\ed in the methods , and the results were significant and stable The minimal effective concentration of20% SYRY-88 solution for inhibiting Uu Type-4 is  1:  16 1: 32  dilution.  There was no significant differencd between theminimal effective concenttation of four lot No. of  SYRY-88 (1:16 tor  Lot No . 9201101 or Lot  No. 940111).
