Hepatic fibrosis is a wound-healing response to liver injury, which has complex celluar and molecular mechanisms. Animal models that similar to human hepatic fibrosis are important to explore further pathological mechanisms and more effective drug therapy for hepatic fibrosis. This article reviews recent progress in animal models and antifibrotic therapy related to hepatic fibrosis.

Indices of angiogenesis are increased in synovia from patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and vascu-lar proliferation may contribute to the pathogenesis of synovitis, pan nus growth, bone and cartilage destruction, and osteophyte formation. Many proan giogenic factors are expressed in the synovium in RA. They have been shown to ha ve important effects in the angiogenic process in RA. So the blockade of angioge nesis appears to be a promising avenue for the future treatment of RA.

Age-related macular degeneration ( AMD ) is one of the important eye diseases of the WHO present three big blindness, is one of the main blinding eye disease in people over the age of 50, people over the age of 65, about 2% of the disease caused by monocular blindness, as the population ages, AMD prevalence is increasing in our country. AMD with respect to its clinical manifestations can be divided into dry AMD and wet AMD, wet AMD is the most harmful for the vision of patients, at present there are many treatments for AMD ( mainly for wet age-related macular degeneration ) , mainly including laser treatment, drug therapy, surgical treatment, gene therapy, etc. The treatments of AMD would be illuminated in this article.

BACKGROUND:Reinfusion of autologous drainage blood could reduce al ogeneic blood demand after total hip replacement. The application of anticoagulant could ensure the safety of peri-operation period after total hip replacement. ＜br> OBJECTIVE:To investigate the application effect of reinfusion of autologous drainage blood after total hip replacement in patients taking anticoagulant. ＜br> METHODS:100 patients underwent initial unilateral total hip replacement in the Weifang People’s Hospital in China from January 2012 to January 2014. According to reinfusion of autologous drainage blood, the patients were divided into observation group and control group (n=50). ＜br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After replacement, total blood volume and the maximum mid-thigh circumference change were significantly larger in the observation group than in the control group (P＜0.05). No significant difference in hidden blood loss was detected between the two groups (P>0.05). Results indicated that under the application of anticoagulant, reinfusion of autologous drainage blood in patients undergoing total hip replacement does not affect hidden blood loss, but can cause an increase in limb swel ing.
