Fibrosis is a pathological process characterized by tissue scars and can occur in many organs of the human body. Organ fibrosis is manifested by increased fibrous connective tissue and reduced parenchymal cells in organ tissues, which can lead to destruction of organ structures and reduced function, which seriously endangers human health. Current strategies for treating organ fibrosis include: blocking the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)/Smad signaling pathway, anti-inflammatory, regulating the sphingosine kinase 1/sphingosine-1-phosphate (SK1/S1P) signaling pathway, antagonizing vasoactive peptide receptors, enzyme inhibitors, kinase inhibitors, inhibitors of cellular signaling pathway, regulation of metabolic pathways, and mesenchymal stem cell therapy. In the review, the treatment strategies for organ fibrosis and the latest developments in the research of anti-organ fibrosis drugs are summarized to provide a reference for the development of anti-organ fibrosis drugs.

AIM: To investigate the effect of mfn2 on mitochondrial function in steatosis hepatocytes. METHODS: Plasmid pEGFP-mfn2 was transfected into hepatocyte strain L02 by Lipofectamine 2000 in vitro, then the steatosis model of hepatocytes was establish by oleic acid induction. RT-PCR was used to evaluate mRNA expression and Western blotting was use to detect the protein expression. ATP level was determined by firefly luciferase bioluminescent. ROS production was measured by fluorescence probe DCFH-DA. Chondrosome transmembrane potential of L02 was observed by labeling of JC-1 and FCM. RESULTS: The stable expression of ectogenesis mitofusin2 in L02 cells was confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blotting. In the model of oleic acids induced lipid formation, Mfn2 obviously inhibited the descent of chondrosome transmembrane potential and ATP level, and increased ROS production in L02 cells. CONCLUSION: Up-regulated expression of mfn2 attenuates mitochondria dysfunction caused by oleic acids induced lipid formation.

Objective To investigate the effect of tetramethylpyrazine pretreatment on the expression of cfos and heat shock protein (HSP70) during hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) in cultured fetal rat hippocampal neurons. Methods After the neurons were cultured and identified, they were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n = 24each): control group (group C), H/R group, and low, median and high concentration of tetramethylpyrazine pretreatment groups (group L, M and H). The neurons were exposed to 2 h of hypoxia followed by 24 h of reoxygenation. Tetramethylpyrazine was added with the final concentrations of 60, 200 and 800 μg/ml in group L, M and H respectively, and then the neurons were incubated for 1 h before H/R. The apoptosis rate, cell viability and expression of c-fos and HSP70 were detected. Results The cell viability was significantly lower, while the apoptosis rate was significantly higher in group A/R, L and H than in group C (P ＜0.01). The cell viability and HSP70expression were significantly higher, while the apoptosis rate and c-fos expression were significantly lower in group L, M and H than in group A/R, and in group M and H than in group L (P＜ 0.05). The cell viability and HSP70expression were significantly lower, while the apoptosis rate and c-fos expression were significantly higher in group H than in group M ( P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusion The mechanism by which tetramethylpyrazine pretreatment inhibits the apoptosis in cultured fetal rat hippocampal neurons during H/R may be related to the dowm-regulation of c-fos expression and up-regulation of HSP70 expression.

Objective To compare the cervical intervertebral movements produced by posteroanterior cervical mobilization and posteroanterior cervical mobilization combined with cervical traction by using the radiographic measurement.Methods The study recruited 12 normal volunteers (6 men,6 women),aged 18 to 25 years (22.9±4.7 years),heighted (164± 7)cm and weighed (54.7 ± 7.6)kg.All the subjects were administered with posteroanterior cervical mobilization followed by posteroanterior cervical mobilization while having cervical traction,or vice versa,with an interval of 2 days in between.The X-ray films were collected before and after the treatment,using 4 static cervical lateral views.The axial displacement of posterior and anterior intervertebral separation (IVS),and the shear displacement of vertebral body as well as the rotation and displacement rate of the motion segments in the sagittal plane before and after the treatment were measured on the radiographic images and compared.Results It was shown that the posteroanterior cervical mobilization produced greater C2-C7 rotation range of motion in the sagittal plane,as compared to that by the posteroanterior mobilization while having cervical traction (P ＜ 0.05).The posteroanterior mobilization produced a significantly greater increase of anterior IVS of the C5 segment and the summation of C2-C7 posterior IVS than those by posteroanterior mobilization while having cervical traction (P ＜ 0.05).However,the posterior IVS and the posterior zygapophysial joints separation of C2-C7 produced by the posteroanterior mobilization during traction were more prominent (P ＜ 0.05).There was no statistical difference between anteroposterior displacements of the vertebral body produced by the two interventions.Comparing with the baseline,the posteroanterior mobilization caused posterior movement of the vertebral bodies of C5 to C2,while the posteroanterior cervical mobilization during traction produced posterior movement of C5 to C2 vertebral bodies and anterior movement of C6 body.Conclusion The cervical posteroanterior mobilization significantly increased the lordosis from C3 to C7,and reduced posterior IVS and zygapophysial joints separation.However,the posteroanterior mobilization during traction changed the intervertebral movements.

Objective To investigate the effect of calcipotriol on melanin synthesis by human melanocytes and its possible action mechanism.Methods Primary melanocytes were cultured with various concentrations(10~(-5),10~(-6),10~(-7),10~(-8),10~(-9),10~(-10) mol/L)of calcipotriol for 24 or 48 hours.Subsequently,MTT assay,NaoH assay.Dopa-oxidase assay,Western blot and semiquantitative RT-PCR were used to measure the cell proliferation of,melanin synthesis by.tyrosinase activity,protein and mRNA expression levels in the melanocytes.respectively.Those untreated melanocytes served as the control.Results The calcipotriol between 10~(-9) and 10~(-5) mol/L had no significant effect on the proliferation of cultured melanocytes(P＞0.05).while that of 10~(-9) and 10~(-8) mol/L increased tyrosinase activity by 137%and 123%,and enhanced melanin synthesis by 40.63%and 18.75%,respectively,compamd with untreated melanocytes(both P＜0.05).Moreover,the tyrosinase protein level increased by 270.4%(P＜0.05)in melanocytes treated with calcipotriol at 10~(-9) mol/L for 24 hours.The strongest tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis was observed in melanocytes treated with calcipotriol of 10~(-9) moI/L.Conclusions The proliferation of melanocytes is unaffected by calcipotriol at 10~(-9) to 10~(-5) mol/L,but it can elevate the expression of tyrosinase protein,enhance tyrosinase activity,and promote melanin synthesis in melanocytes.
