Skeletal muscle has high regenerative capability. It is able to regenerate completely after acute traumatic damage, while the repairing process often accompanied by fibrosis in the chronic degenerative conditions such as muscular dystrophy and repeated muscle fiber damage. Through in-depth study on the mechanisms of skeletal muscle fibrosis in the past decade, it has been found that a variety of cells and regulatory molecules involved in the process, especially muscle satellite cells-derived myofibroblasts, transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) and other fibrosis promoting growth factors. This review focused on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the skeletal muscle fibrosis and relevant antagonistic strategies.

Objective To explore the effect of clinical nursing pathway(CNP)on allergic rhinitis in patients with subcutaneous immunotherapy.Methods One hundred and twenty patients with allergic rhinitis treated with subcutaneous immunotherapy were equally randomized into the observation group and the control group.The former group were managed with clinical nursing pathway and the latter received only routine nursing care.The curative effect of subcutaneous immunotherapy was compared between the two groups including local adverse reactions,treatment compliance,patients' satisfaction and quality of life.Results The scores by symptom assessment at time points of half a year,years 1,2 and 3 showed the symptoms at different time points between the groups were significantly different by the comparison between time and the interactive effect of main effect(F=678.24,P<0.01),and the symptoms in the two groups were both alleviated with the extension of treatment due to the compared time effect at F=47.16, P<0.01.The scores on the symptoms in the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group at different time points(P<0.01).The experiment group was better than the control group in terms of local adverse reactions,treatment compliance, quality of life and patient's satisfaction(P<0.01)Conclusion Clinical nursing pathway can improve patient's compliance,improve immunotherapy,reduce adverse reactions and improve the quality of life of patients as well as patients' satisfaction.

Objective To evaluate the value of 2D ultrasound and elastic strain ratio (SR) in diagnosis of thyroid nodule by fine needle aspiration (FNA).Methods 196 thyroid nodules were analyzed retrospectively with 2D ultrasound,elastography and FNA results,pathology results as the golden standard.A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to identify the best cut-off point of SR.The Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the variables effectiveness on age,nodule echo,calcification and SR.Tried to discuss how to use SR before or after US-FNA in diagnosis of thyroid nodule.Results The SR of the malignant nodules group was significantly different from the benign nodules group,and the best cut-off point was 0.5 with sensitivity 91.7％,specificity 90.2 ％ and accuracy 90.8 ％.The Logistic analysis results were SR,age,echo,calcification according to the odds ratio.SR can screened nodules without puncture necessary before FNA,and increase the FNA sensitivity,specificity and accuracy after FNA.Conclusions SR has good application value in diagnosis thyroid malignant tumor.SR can reduce unnecessary FNA and make a supplementary diagnosis of FNA.

Objective To explore the inhibitory effect of pulsed ultrasound on skeletal muscle fibrosis after injury.Methods Thirty elderly male rats with gastrocnemius muscle injury were divided into an ultrasound group (UG) and a control group (CG) using a random number table.The injured muscles in the UG were treated using pulsed ultrasound (frequency 1 MHz,average strength 40 mW/cm2,duty cycle 20％) for 10 min daily from day 3 after the injury.The CG was given no treatment.On days 3,7,14,21 and 28 after the injury,histological and immunohistochemical analyses of the gastrocnemius muscles of both groups were performed.Results The collagen fiber mean optical density of the muscles increased gradually after the injury and reached its peak on day 21.It was significantly lower in the UG than in the CG on each test day.The expression of α-SMA increased gradually after the injury,but it too remained significantly lower in UG than that in CG.Conclusion Pulsed ultrasound may reduce collagen formation and α-SMA expression in injured skeletal muscle,and then inhibit muscle fibrosis.

AIM: To investigate the influence of Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb761) on c-jun expressions and motoneurons survival following root avulsion. METHODS: One hundred and eighty adult Sprague-Dawley female rats were randomly divided into control and EGb761 groups. Immediately after avulsion of C5-T1 nerve roots, the rats were injected ip with either 1 mL of EGb761 25 mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1) or the same volume of normal saline, and the treatment repeated everyday. At 4 h to 6 weeks following avulsion, the C7 spinal segments of all rats were collected and prepared for c-jun immunocytochemistry and neutral red stain. The numbers of (c-jun) positive and survival motoneurons were counted and compared between two groups at each time point. RESULTS: In control rats following avulsion, c-jun positive motoneurons appeared at 4 h, reached its maximum at 1 d and declined to 2 weeks. Avulsion-induced motoneurons death started at 2 weeks, climbed to its maximum at 4 weeks-6 weeks. In EGb761 treated rats, both numbers of c-jun positive and survival motoneurons were more than that in control group at each time point. CONCLUSION: EGb761 attenuates avulsion-induced motoneurons death, and this effect may be related to up-regulation of c-jun gene in avulsed motoneurons. [
