Objective To investigate the clinical features of patients with superinfection of HEV and HBV related acute on chro-nic liver failure(ACLF) .Methods Clinical data of 35 patients diagnosed with superinfection of HEV and HBV related ACLF and 37 patients diagnosed with HBV related ACLF were collected for this retrospective study .The liver and kidney function ,HBV DNA level ,blood platelet count(BPC) ,coagulation function ,model for end-stage liver disease(MELD)score and mortality at 24 weeks were analyzed .Furthermore ,comparison of the clinical data between the survival patients and died patients in superinfection group was made .Unconditioned binary response logistic regression model was used to determine the corresponding risk factors .Results The level of total bilirubin(TBIL) ,MELD score ,incidence rate of hepatic encephalopathy and mortality at 24 weeks were signifi-cantly higher and prothrombin activity(PTA)was significantly lower in superinfection patients(P<0 .05) .The level of serum creat-inine(Cr) ,MELD score and incidence rate of hepatic encephalopathy were significantly higher and PTA was significantly lower in died patients than that of superinfection group(P< 0 .05) .Logistic regression analysis identified TBIL(P= 0 .024 ,OR= 1 .006) , BPC(P=0 .019 ,OR=0 .983) ,PTA(P=0 .001 ,OR=0 .795) ,MELD score(P=0 .005 ,OR=1 .497)and hepatic encephalopathy(P=0 .001 ,OR=4 .147)as prognostic factors for patients with superinfection of HEV and HBV related ACLF .Conclusion The clini-cal features of patients with superinfection of HEV and HBV related ACLF were more serious .The higher level of TBIL ,MELD score and hepatic encephalopathy and the lower level of BPC and PTA ,the worse prognosis .

SUN Shu-chun,the chief researcher,is one of the famous expert of osteo-traumatology of TCM.He makes systematic sort and study on chirismus on basis of succeeding experience predecessors and his own years of clinic experience.He is good at treating cervical syndrome with TCM chirismus,especially combine it with drugs.In osteo-traumatology academic circles,he is called "the best doctor at home".Professor SUN advocates that the rule of applying various therapies according to different conditions,combination of rigid-flexible,light,skill,gentle,harmony should be obey when we use chirismus.His diagnostic and therapeutic methods and thoughts are original and ingenious.In this article,the author analyzes the academic experience of tendon trauma of professor SUN.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory dermatosis with a variety of clinical manifestations and difficult to cure. Currently, many AD drug candidates have entered the research and development pipeline. In order to provide technical specifications for the clinical development of AD drugs, the Center for Drug Evaluation of National Medical Products Administration released the "Technical Guidelines for Clinical Trials of Drugs for AD Treatment" (Draft for Comments) in November 2022. Non-clinical pharmacodynamics evaluation is an important research before the drug enters clinical trials. Oxazolone (OXA)- and 2,4-dinitro-fluorobenzene (DNFB)-induced models are the most popular classical hapten-induced AD murine models, but variations of modeling are existing in the methods from different studies, including sensitization sites, haptens' dosages, the period of challenges, and the skin lesions severity evaluation as well. In this study, the investigation of OXA- and DNFB-induced AD murine models with various conditions of modeling was performed to compare the characteristics of hapten-induced AD murine models in the pathological process and severity according to the appearance of AD patients, and the guidance of pharmacodynamics evaluation of AD-therapeutic drugs in clinical trials as well, which may provide a proposal for AD treatment drug candidates in the non-clinical pharmacodynamics evaluation. All animal experiments were approved by the Animal Care & Welfare Committee of Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College (approval No.: 00007782 and 00007784).

Objective To establish animal model for hypertrophic scar and study the characters of its morphology and collagen metabolism. Methods A total of 64 round wounds (diameter of 6 mm each) with total skin loss were made on the ventral side of rabbit ear using a trephine. Morphology and collagen metabolism of scar wounds were studied at 14,21,35,70 and 98 days after operation, respectively. Results There were 76% elevated scars developed (45/59 wounds) on the ventral side of rabbit ear at 21 days and 46% elevated scars disappeared (11/24) at 98 days after operation. There were numerous fibroblast proliferation and whorl-arranged collagen fibers at 21 and 35 days. The number of fibroblast decreased, but irregular-arranged fibers still presented in the elevated scars at 70 and 98 days after operation. Hydroxyproline content in elevated scars at 21 days was higher than that in normal skin (P<0.05), and at 35 days was 3 times as that in normal skin and at 98 days was also markedly higher than that in normal skin (P<0.05). Conclusion Excessive deposition of collagen is a characteristic of hypertrophic scar in rabbits. The conversion of normal scarring to hypertrophic scarring in rabbits occurs at 14~21 days after operation. Both development and regression of hypertrophic scar in rabbit are quicker than that in human.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) in patients with HBV related acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) .Methods The serum and clinical data of patients with ACLF (ACLF group ,n=214) ,patients with mild chronic hepatitis B (mild chronic hepatitis B group ,n=196) were collected from outpatient and inpatient in the hospital ,and control group(n=200) people were the blood transfusion healthy blood donors .The level of ALR was measured by ELISA method .The correlation between ALR and MELD score of patients with ACLF were analyzed by linear regres-sion analysis .Unconditioned binary response logistic regression model was used to determine the correlation between ALR and mor-tality at 24 weeks of patients with ACLF .Results Serum ALR level was higher in ACLF group than in mild chronic hepatitis B group and control group(P<0 .05) .There were negative correlations between the serum ALR level and MELD score of patients with ACLF(r2 = -0 .249 ,F=13 .955 ,P<0 .01) .Serum ALR level of patients with ACLF was more significant in survival group than in dead group(P=0 .004) .Logistic regression analysis identified that high serum ALR level was related to the good prognosis (P=0 .012 ,OR=0 .807) .Conclusion The serum ALR level was significantly increased in patients with HBV related ACLF which played an important role in liver regeneration and improve the prognosis of patients .
