Objective To study the advantages of rhytidectomy of W-shaped incisions combined with multiple suspension in temporal hair line. Methods 40 patients were divided into two groups: 16 cases in group A were treated by rhytidectomy of W-shaped incisions combined with multiple suspcnsion in temporal hair line;24 cases in group B were treatcd by traditional rhytidectomy. Results The inci-sions in group A, with an excellent repair under scar formation, healed well and some hairs on the timpo-ral hair line grew. Fishtail lines were obviously reduced, with nasolabial fold lifting the masseter area skin on parotid. Compared with group B, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions This approach is simple but convenient, safe and efficient. Therefore, it is valuable and applicable clinical-ly.

To probe the effect of paeoniflorin on periovular granuloma and liver fibrosis in mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum in different times of infection and the treatment with praziquantel (PZQ). The models of hepatic fibrosis induced by S.japonicum were established by exposure of BALB/c mice percutaneously through the tail to cercariae of S.japonicum. and mice with treatment were randomly divided into 3 groups: i.e. groups of pre-treatment (I), group of simultaneous treatment (Ⅱ) and group of post-treatment (III). All groups, except the normal control group, were orally introduced with PZQ. And mice in the paeoniflorin-treated group and control group were separately introduced with paeoniflorin and 0.5% sodium carboxymethycellulose respectively. The treatments in group I, II and III were started 30 days before PZQ usage, simultaneously with PZQ or 30days-after PZQ usage respectively. Mice in these groups were sacrificed on the 102, 132 or 162 days after infection. Then the serum levels of hyaluronic acid (HA), amino-terminal peptide of type III procollagen (PIIIP) and liver hydroxyproline (Hyp) were detected. The histopathology was examined by HE and Masson staining; the degree of hepatic fibrosis and the area of egg granuloma were analyzed. The expression of collagen I was examined by immunohistochemical method. It was found that the area of granuloma and degree of hepatic fibrosis in the paeoniflorin-treated groups in group I and III were significantly lower than those in the model control groups. Also, paeoniflorin could induce decreas expression of collagen I. Meanwhile the levels of serum HA, PIIIP and liver Hyp were all reduced in comparison with those in the control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). However, in group Ⅱ, no significant difference was noted between the treated and the control group in most data. Paeoniflorin also showed the effects to reduce the size of periovular granuloma and to reduce the expression of type I collagen, thereby to resist the development of hepatic fibrosis caused by S. japonicum.-It is evident that PAE shows an efficaciously therapeutic effect on the development of liver fibrosis of shistosomiasis, whenever it is administered before or after the usage of schistosomicides.

To determine the inhibition of IL-13 by recombinant sIL-13Rα2 in NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells for its potential therapeutic value in hepatic fibrosis caused by Schistosoma japanicum in mice . IL-13 and sIL-13Rα2 from liver of BALB/c mice infected with S.japonicum at different infection time (weeks 0,6,8,10 and 12) were analyzed by ELISA and RT-PCR. The recombinant sIL-13Rα2 expression plasmidwas constructed, followed by transfection into NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells. TypeⅠcollagen produced by NIH-3T3 cells were examined by RT-PCR and Western blotting. It was demonstrated that the expression of IL-13 increased gradually after infection, reached peak density (16.1586 pg/mL)at week 8 and then reduced but was still higher than the level of control mice(3.4146 pg/mL;P =0.017 ). The secretion of sIL-13R α2 reached to its peak 10 weeks after infection(4827.426 pg/mL)and then reduced slowly but still higher than normal(4057.112 pg/mL; P=0.021). Meanwhile, the changes in mRNA level of IL-13 and sIL-13R α2 were coincided with that examined by ELISA. Both IL-13 and sIL-13Rα2 reached their peak density (P=0.033) at week 8 and 10 (P=0.025) respectively, and they were followed by a slower degree of decrease. The sIL-13Rα2 could significantly inhibit the effect of IL-13 on NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells, showing decreased mRNA level(P =0.012)and protein level of typeⅠcollagen compared with normal groups(P =0.031). It is concluded that the sIL-13Rα2 can inhibit the effect of IL-13 on NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells which leads to a reduced production of typeⅠcollagen, demonstrating its potential therapeutic value in hepatic fibrosis of schistosomiasis.
