Systemic Sclerosis(SSc) is a fibrotic disease characterized by immunological abnormalities,vascular injury and increased accumulation of extracellular matrix.The etiology has not been fully elucidated yet,so we need to establish a suitable animal model for research.This review is to introduce murine model of bleomycin-induced SSc,and summarize research works on the pathogenesis and treatment of SSc based on this model.

OBJECTIVE:To study pharmacokinetics of cyclosporine in healthy volunteers, and to investigate the relationship of drug exposure with blood sampling time after treatment. METHODS: The data of trial at the first 12 blood sampling time points after medication were collected from bioequivalence test in 24 healthy volunteers (trial preparation vs. reference preparation). Multiple linear regression analysis was used to study the blood concentrations of cyclosporine at different sampling time points and the area under the blood concentration-time curve (AUC). RESULTS: The concentrations at two points were adopted to estimate AUC. The correlation coefficient of different cyclosporines could reach 0.9 with estimation deviations less than 15%. The AUC of cyclosporine of trial preparation could be estimated by C8 and C12, and that of reference preparation by C2.5 and C12. CONCLUSION: The AUC estimated by concentrations at two points can meet clinical demand. There is great difference in estimate point among different preparations.

Objective To provide references for building the medical rehabilitation system in China by learning the progress and compliance of rehabilitation departments construction at tertiary hospitals. Methods Comparative and quantitative methods were used for dynamic analysis qualitative interview to learn the index compliance of the hospitals in question in 201 1-2012.Results Compared with 201 1, average days of stay of the rehabilitation departments declined in general,yet with insufficient therapists;introduction of early rehabilitation intervention was but 57.1%,and the functional assessment rate of rehabilitation service was less than satisfactory.Conclusion Lack of manpower,varying levels of medical rehabilitation services,and neglect for functional assessment were found to be the main problems in construction of medical rehabilitation departments for the time being.

Objective To observe the effects of long term injection sodium salicylate on the auditory brain-stem response(ABR)and expression of glutamic acid decarboxylase -67(GAD67) in rat inferior colliculus .Methods Eighteen healthy Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups :the sodium salicylate group (intramuscular injection of 10% sodium salicylate ,175 mg/kg ,twice daliy for 28 days) ,the saline group (intramuscular injection with saline on same does at the same time) ,the control group (without any treatment) .The rats received ABR after modeling ,then were decapitated and inferior colliculus tissues were stripped .Western blot was used to study the dif-ferent expression of GAD67 protein levels in the three groups .Results Compared with the saline group and control group ,ABR thresholds of the sodium salicylate group were significantly elevated and latency of wave Ⅲ was aslo sig-nificantly prolonged(P<0 .01) ,while there was no significant difference between the saline group and the control group(P>0 .05) .The inferior colliculus GAD67 protein expression level of sodium salicylate group was significantly higher than the saline group and control group(P<0 .01) ,while there was no significant difference between the saline group and the control group(P>0 .05) .Conclusion Long term injection of sodium salicylate can cause a change in the inferior colliculus of GAD67 protein expression and the up regulation of GAD67 expression may occur as a com-pensatory response to increase inhibiting effect .The change of GAD67 protein expression is likely as a compensatory and regulatory mechanisms for sodium salicylate ototoxicity .

Objective To explore the community elderly depression effect on quality of life and provide the basis for the elderly mental health intervention. Methods Adopting stratified random sampling method, using the SF-12,CES-D and psychological capital questiennaire of elder to survey among 500 community elderly people and established the structural equation model. Results The age, degree of education, income situation, depression and the old psychological capital of the community elderly can be used to predict the quality of life, can explain 88.6%variance of life quality(P<0.05);depression on quality of life has a direct effect of-0.21(P < 0.05); depression through psychological capital indirect effect on quality of life for-0.64(P<0.05). Conclusions The elderly depression through psychological capital intermediary effect on the quality of life.

Recently,thesituationofchemicalsubstancesillegallyaddedinTCMandhealthproductsismoreandmorecomplex and subtle, which not only results in latent danger and harm to customers, but also induce supervision difficulty and challenge for su-pervision departments. The variety and composition of chemical substances added illegally, analytical methods and relative state laws and regulations were illustrated in detail in the paper, which can provide the basis for the rational and safe use of TCM and health prod-ucts, and provide the reference and technology support for the supervision departments.

Objective To explore the polysomnography(PSG) characteristice of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OS-AHS) and primary snoring(PS) in children and clinical value of PSG in children with sleep disorders. Methods We analyzed 74 children with OSAHS and 62 with PS, every patient being monitored with PSG for 7 hours at night for 16 parameters, including apnea hypopnea index(AHI), periodic leg movement index(PLMI),and the lowest oxygen saturation(LSaQ2) etc. The parameters of the 2 groups were comparaed. Results Comparaed with PS group, there was statistically significant difference in parameters such as PLMI, AHI,LSaQ2,the moderate oxygen saturation(MSaO2).AHI in non- rapid eye movement (NREM)(P

The stable and controllable quality of decoction pieces is an important factor to ensure the efficacy of clinical medicine. Considering the dilemma that the existing standardization of processing mode cannot effectively eliminate the variability of quality raw ingredients, and ensure the stability between different batches, we first propose a new strategy for Chinese medicine processing technologies that coupled with individuation processed and cybernetics. In order to explain this thinking, an individual study case about different grades aconite is provided. We hope this strategy could better serve for clinical medicine, and promote the inheritance and innovation of Chinese medicine processing skills and theories.
