1.Research progress in medical treatment of primary biliary cirrhosis
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2014;31(5):462-465
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC)is an autoimmune disease.Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)is the only safe and effective drug for the treatment of PBC,as proved by randomized controlled clinical trials,so it is advocated as first-line therapy.Alternative therapies are urgently needed for patients with poor response to UDCA.In addition to the efficacy of UDCA,the classification of alternative and adjuvant therapies for UDCA nonresponders and the latest research progress in these therapies are reviewed;the efficacy of existing drugs and treat-ment prospects are evaluated,but more long-term clinical studies are needed to confirm the efficacy of immunosuppressants such as budes-onide and etanercept and other drugs.A number of novel molecular therapies for PBC are also undergoing clinical trials.There is currently no consensus on the medical treatment for patients with poor response to UDCA.Although studies have shown that some drugs can improve liver function and liver biochemistries,there is no definitive evidence that they improve long-term outcome.

BACKGROUND:Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement can impose elevated mechanical loading in the hip, and may eventual y result in hip osteoarthritis, while mechanical mechanism on how this deformity leads to osteoarthritis is stil unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze intra-articular mechanical environment of Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement in hip joint using three-dimensional finite element method, and to further understand the features of pathological mechanics.
METHODThree-dimensional geometry models of normal and Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement joints were constructed using Mimics and Hypermesh software with the CT data of normal hip joint. These hip models were imported into LS-DYNA analysis system, then dynamic loads and motions for standing up and sitting down were applied to al joint models. Intra-articular cartilage contact pressures and stresses were analyzed in normal hip joint and hip joint with Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Based on CT data, models of normal hip joint and hip joint with Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement including articular cartilage for three-dimensional finite element analysis were accurately constructed. Peak contact pressures were 4.43 and 4.59 MPa at the anterosuperior region of the acetabular rim during sitting down and standing up. The peaks of Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement hip joint were 14.96 and 14.86 MPa. Peak pressures and stress concentration were found at the anterosuperior area of acetabular rim. High contact pressure at the acetabular cartilage may be the mechanical mechanism of osteoarthritis induced by Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement.

Objective To study the expressions of some apoptosis related to genes in lung tissues and their relationship to the pathogenesis in rats to hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH). Methods A total of 60 rats were employed and equally divided into 5 groups, i.e. control, HPH, hemin, Tin Protoporphyrin (Snpp) and low concentration CO groups. Of them, the rats from middle 3 groups were treated with hypoxia under normal pressure for 7 h in every day, 3 weeks except Sunday. Hemin and Tin Protoporphyrin (Snpp) were given half an hour before hypoxia while low concentration CO after 2 h of hypoxia. The expression of bcl-2, bax, Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) were detected with immunohistochemical staining, in situ cell death detection, DNA fragment detection, and in situ hybridization. Results In low concentration CO and hemin group, typical DNA ladder bands and apoptotic cells were found in lung tissues, and the expressions of Fas, FasL, bax, and bcl-2 mRNA were increased in the epithelial cells of alveoli, vascular and bronchial walls. And the expression of bcl-2 mRNA was decreased than in hypoxic group. Conclusion CO can regulate the expression of bcl-2, bax, Fas and FasL, these apoptotic genes may involve in the regulation of cell apoptosis of lung tissues under HPH and play important roles in the genesis and development of chronic obstructive lung disorders.
