Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF), as one of the chronic and complex diseases, is with high incidence and mortality rate. It is also a difficult to treat disease in modern medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation and treatment embodies characteristics and advantages. In recent years, the collateral disease theory guiding the prevention and treatment of the chronic and complex diseases has become a hot point and frontier in medical research, and achieved certain effects. This article is to summary the structures and functions of pulmonary collaterals based on the collateral disease theory. Combined with clinical manifestations of IPF, we put forward Fei-Re Luo-Y u as the fundamental role in the pathogenesis of IPF in its acute phase to lay the theoretical foundation to the further exploration of syndrome prevention and differentiation on IPF in its acute exacerbation.

Objective:Research on establishing a better experimental arthritis rat model of cold-dampness arthraligia on rheumatoid arthritis(RA) research.Methods:In order to induce arthritis,the rat's feet were injected with different concentrations of type Ⅱ collagen mixed with Freund's adjuvant;measure the feet swelling degrees of rats,then calculated swelling rate;detect the level of serum sialic acid(SA);observ the synovial histopathology and ultrastructural of rats.Results:The rat joints swell of the group with low concentration of type Ⅱ collagen and completed Freund's adjuvant was rapid and severe,while that of the group with high concentration of type Ⅱ collagen and incompleted Freund's adjuvant was moderate and lasting.The level of serum SA of model groups was higher than the normal group.The histopathology changes of rat's synovium conform to RA.Conclusion:The group injected with high concentration of type Ⅱ collagen and incompleted Freund's adjuvant is the ideal RA model.It is belonged to the symptom of cold-dampness arthralgia,compared with this model,the AA approaches the symptom of heat-dampness arthralgia.

BACKGROUND:Human femur medul ary cavity has torsional anatomic structure. If the femur medul ary cavity’s torsional structure is copied to the stem of the prosthesis, the prosthesis wil transform the force loaded to torque between femur medul ary cavity and prosthesis stem, and the torque is transmitted to the proximal femur when the prosthesis is inserted in the medul ary cavity and load force on the prosthesis. OBJECTIVE:To optimize the force transmission of the proximal femur, and to avoid the stress shielding at the proximal end of the prosthesis. METHODS:We reconstructed a three-dimensional (3D) model of the femoral canal with the CT images of specimen femur and took the 3D model as the design model for prosthesis stem. The customized stem model and the proximal model of standard prosthesis could be put together to form customized prosthesis. We took advantage of robot grinding technology to manufacture the customized prosthesis, and matched it with specimen femur canal. Finite element analysis simulation and experimental methods were used to analyze the relationship between the loading force on the prosthesis and the micromotion of proximal end of the prosthesis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The simulation and experimental results showed that the torsional structure matching by femoral canal and stem could effectively transmit the force on the prosthesis to the proximal end of the prosthesis in the form of torque. The torsional fretting of the proximal end of the prosthesis was related to the movement of the handle body. However, stem micromotion can be control ed by varying the matching size between stem and medul ary cavity.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is defined as a specific form of chronic and progressive fibrosing inter-stitial pneumonia. Till now, it is lack of effective and safe treatment. In recent years, more and more clinical trials of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have been conducted with different evaluation criteria and indexes. The knowl-edge is disunity and unsystematic. From the perspective of combination of disease and TCM syndrome model, this ar-ticle summarized and organized the current data and medical standards, and then come up with the new evaluation system of clinical effect and describe important indexes and methods. This article was aimed to improve the clinical trial design and provide high quality evidences for evidence-based medicine.

This study was aimed to discuss the anti-inflammatory and immunization properties ofRe-Du-Ning (RDN) injection in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) with phlegm-heat stagnated in the lung syndrome. A total of 110 in-patients were collected from January 2012 to December 2013. Cases were randomly divided into the treatment group (basic treatment plan + 20 ml RDN injection + 250 mL of 5% GS injection, once a day, intravenous injection) and the control group (basic treatment plan + 20 ml of 0.9% NS injection + 250 mL of 5% GS injection, once a day, intravenous injection), with 55 cases in each group. The treatment course was 14 days. Observations were made on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score, clinical effect, blood routine examination, blood gas analysis and T lymphocyte subgroups before and after the treatment in both groups. The results showed that in the aspects of TCM symptom score and clinical effect, the posttreatment TCM symptom score and total integration in the treatment group were obviously improved compared to the control group except for shortness of breath, dry mouth and thirsty, flushing (P < 0.05). The total effective rate was obviously better than that of the control group. In the aspect of anti-inflammation, the total white blood cell (WBC) count and the normal neutrophil percentage of both pretreatment and posttreatment in the treatment group were obviously decreased compared to pretreatment (P < 0.05). However, there were no statistical differences on WBC count and normal neutrophil percentage compared to posttreatment in the control group. In the aspect of blood gas analysis, the posttreatment PaCO2 and PaO2 of the treatment group were obviously better than the control group (P < 0.05). In the aspect of immune regulation, the posttreatment T lymphocyte subgroups CD3+ and CD4+ of the treatment group were higher than the control group. The expression inhibition / cytotoxic lymphocyte (CD8+) was obviously lower than the control group (P < 0.05). The CD4+ / CD8+ was back to the normal reference level. It was concluded that in the treatment of AECOPD with phlegm-heat stagnated in the lung syndrome, on the basis of western medicine symptomatic treatment plan, RDN injection was assisted to clear heat, relieve toxin and remove phlegm. It can obviously improve patient’s clinical symptoms and increase the clinical therapeutic effects. The treatment was especially targeted to infection-induced respiratory failure patients combined low immunity with possible identified therapeutic effects.

This article elaborated the theory of chronic and complex disease treatment based on collaterals. It put forward that complex virtual evil stasis was the common pathogenesis of chronic and complex disease treatment. Combined with articles published in recent 5 years, from the perspective of cytokines and genes, it summarized traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compound targets in chronic and complex disease treatment. It put forward the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs), matrix metalloproteinases/tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (MMPs/TIMPs) were its high-frequency targets. It provided a basis for future experiment design on chronic and complex disease treatment based on collaterals as well as new drug development.

To observe the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in rats with pulmonary fibrosis (PF) induced by bleomycin, and to explore the mechanisms of Shenlong Decoction in preventing and treating PF.
