Hepatic fibrosis is a wound-healing response to liver injury, which has complex celluar and molecular mechanisms. Animal models that similar to human hepatic fibrosis are important to explore further pathological mechanisms and more effective drug therapy for hepatic fibrosis. This article reviews recent progress in animal models and antifibrotic therapy related to hepatic fibrosis.

Indices of angiogenesis are increased in synovia from patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and vascu-lar proliferation may contribute to the pathogenesis of synovitis, pan nus growth, bone and cartilage destruction, and osteophyte formation. Many proan giogenic factors are expressed in the synovium in RA. They have been shown to ha ve important effects in the angiogenic process in RA. So the blockade of angioge nesis appears to be a promising avenue for the future treatment of RA.

Objective To investigate the'expression of Survivin in breast cancer tissue microarray, and its implication to clinic pathology and prognosis. Methods The expression of Survivin was studied in 80 cases of breast disease tissues ( 18 cases of hyperplasia of mammary glands and 62 cases of breast canc-er) and 20 cases of adjacent normal tissues by S-P immunohistochemisty to analysis the relationships be-tween its expression and history grade, clinic stage and lymphaden metastasis. Results The positive rates of Survivin were 0(0/20) in normal mammary glands, 33. 3% (6/18) in hyperplasia of mammary glands and 72. 5% (45/62) in breast cancer. There were significant difference between them (X~2= 34. 62, P <0. 01 ). The expression of Survivin was closely correlated to the stage and lymphaden metatasis and survival time ( P <0.05 or P <0.01), and it was negatively correlated to the histological grade ( P >0.05).Conclusions The expression of Survivin shows an ascending tendency in the carcinogenesis and progres-sion of breast cancer. The Survivin can promote the invasion and the metastasis of the cancer cell, and it is closely correlated to the prognosis.

Objective To analyze the clinical curative effect and the impact for denture health by using a fixed denture to repair denti-tion defect of the elderly.Methods A total of 90 elderly patients with dentition defect(118 with tooth)were selected in our hospital from January 2012 to September 2013,who were divided into control group and observation group after the relevant examination,45 cases in each group.The patients in control group were treated by removable dentures,and patients in observation group received fixed denture repair.All patients were followed up for 2 years,the health status and the denture bleeding index between two groups were compared and evaluated by patients feedback and chewing ability tests.Results The clinical total effective rate of observation group after treatment was obviously higher than that of control group,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05).The health effective rate of abutments of the observation group after 2 years was significantly higher than that of the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05).Bleeding index of two groups after repair were significantly lower than those before,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05),which reduced more obviously than control group,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05).Conclusion The fixed denture has high clinical value for elderly patients with dentition defect,which can effectively repair the complex tooth and tooth defect,with good effect and high safety.

BACKGROUND:Reduction and fixation are presently used for middle and inferior humeral fractures. The methods of fixation approach include anterolateral (including modified upper arm anterolateral), posterior and medial approaches. The repair approach of middle and inferior humeral fractures remains controversial. OBJECTIVE:To compare efficiency and safety of anterolateral and medial approach fixation with compression plate and screw for middle and inferior humeral fractures. METHODS:A total of 90 cases of middle and inferior humeral fractures treated in Chongqing Red Cross Hospital were equaly and randomly divided into experimental group and control group. In the control group, patients were subjected to compression plate and screw through anterolateral approach. In the experimental group, patients were subjected to compression plate and screw through medial approach. Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, complications and the recovery of shoulder joint and elbow joint function were compared in patients of both groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Intraoperative blood loss was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (P < 0.05). No significant difference in operation time and fracture healing time was found between the two groups (P > 0.05). During 6 months of folow-up, no significant difference in shoulder joint function Neer score and elbow joint function Mayo score was detected between the two groups (P > 0.05). During the folow-up period, no wound infection, bone nonunion or chronic osteomyelitis appeared in both groups. These data confirm that the effects of medial approach and anterolateral approach for middle and inferior humeral fractures are similar. Medial approach leads to less blood loss, can effectively make up for the defects of the traditional repair scheme, and can be considered as one of fixation approach for middle and inferior humeral fractures.

Objective To investigate the effects of compound danshen dripping pill (CDDP) on carotid intima￣media thickness (CIMT) and cardiac function in patients newly diagnosed as hypothyroidism. Methods The total of 40 subclinical hypothyroidism patients and 40 hypothyroidism cases was enrolled.The clinical hypothyroidism patients were treated with L￣T4 as the conventional treatment, and comprehensive CDDP plus levothyroxine (L￣T4 ) as treated groups (CDDP group) for 6 months. The therapeutic effect was evaluated by combining with data of thyroid function, blood lipid profile and ultrasound.The 40 healthy subjects were chosen as normal control group. Results Compared with normal control group, the levels of TC and LDL￣C were higher (P<0.05) in subclinical hypothyroidism group, which were more obvious in the clinical hypothyroidism group (P<0.01), CIMT increased markedly (P<0.05), the left ventricular systolic functions (ejection fraction) and diastolic functions (mitral flow velocity E and A wave ratio) were markedly decreased (P<0.05) in the clinical hypothyroidism group.Upon treatment, the blood￣lipids were improved (P<0.05), CIMT were reduced (P<0.05), the left ventricular functions were restored to near normal with the attainment of euthyroidism in both groups of clinical hypothyroidism;the reduction of CIMT and the improvement of the left ventricular functions were faster in CDDP group than that in the conventional treatment group (P<0.05). Conclusion Disturbance of blood lipid in hypothyroidism patients, CIMT growth and impaired left ventricular function objectively indicate the existence of cardiac and cerebral vascular risk, while CDDP helps improving lipid metabolism, reversing CIMT and cardiac function, reducing cardiovascular risk, blocking or delaying cardiovascular event chains.
