The occurrence and progression of hepatic fibrosis are regulated by multicytokines and multiple molecular signal trans-duction pathways in cells. Currently,the molecular signaling pathway is the target for drugs to treat diseases. The study of the active ingredients of Chinese medicine to interfere with the sig-naling pathways of liver fibrosis is a hot topic. In the past ten years,it has been reported that hydroxysafflor yellow A,total flavonoids from litchi seed,ursolic acid,curcumin can interfere the signaling pathway of p38MAPK,TGF-β/ Smad,Wnt,Ras/ERK and Hedgehog liver fibrosis. The research on the active in-gredients of Chinese traditional medicine,which is targeted at signaling pathways,is expected to open new areas for Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of liver fibrosis.

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of flufenamic acid (FFA) on the solubility, dissolution and bioavailability of sorafenib (SFN) in the combined administration of the MSNM@SFN and FFA. The MSNM@SFN&FFA was prepared by mixing the MSNM@SFN with FFA. The solubility, dissolution and bioavailability of SFN in the MSNM@SFN&FFA complex was investigated in comparison with those of the MSNM@SFN. This study was performed following the National Institutes of Health guidelines for the use of experimental animals; all care and handling of animals were performed with the approval of the Experimental Animal Center of Peking University Health Science Center. The MSNM@SFN&FFA showed no significant influence on the solubility, dissolution and bioavailability of SFN when compared with the MSNM@SFN. These data indicated that FFA had almost no influence on the solubility, dissolution and bioavailability of SFN in the combined administration of MSNM@SFN and FFA, thus providing an experimental foundation for the subsequent formulation research on the combined usage of drugs.

Objective To evaluate and analyze the panel composition and conflict of interest management of clinical practice guidelines of rehabilitation.Methods Clinical practice guidelines of rehabilitation were systematically retrieved from PubMed, EMBASE, China Biology Medicine disc, CNKI, Wanfang Data and Medlive database, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, National Guideline Clearinghouse, The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, World Health Organization (WHO) and Guidelines International Network until January 11, 2020. Two researchers independently screened and cross-checked the literatures, and extracted the basic information of included guidelines, including the title, formulating institution, published journol, as well as the expert group, the number of expert group, the specific division of labor and their discipline, affiliation and the geographic location, the statement and management of conflict of interest, types of conflicts of interest, and whether to accept fund and the source of the fund.Results A total of 84 guidelines were finally included, 17 domestic ones and 67 foreign ones, in which, 52 (61.9%) reported the expert panel; 22 (26.2%) reported the number of expert panel groups, 21 (25.0%) indicated the specific division of work among the members of the expert panel, 74 (88.1%) reported the names of the members of the expert panel, 47 (56.0%) reported the subjects and specialties of the panelists, 70 (83.3%) reported the affiliation and location of panelists, 14 (16.7%) mentioned the management of conflicts of interest, and 25 (29.8%) reported if there were conflicts of interest. Only five of the 16 funded guidelines stated that there was no conflict of interest between the funding and the development of the guidelines. Among them, the reporting rate of expert panel was significantly higher in foreign countries than in China (χ2 = 9.542, P < 0.01), the reporting rate of name of expert panel members and specific division of labor were higher in foreign countries than in China ( χ2 > 4.155, P < 0.05), and the reporting rate of conflict of interest management was also higher in foreign countries than in China ( P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in whether there was a conflict of interest, whether it was funded and the type of funding at home and abroad ( P > 0.05). Conclusion In gerenal, clinical practice guidelines of rehabilitation published at home and abroad are necessary to be improved in the reporting quality of expert group formulation and division of labor, conflict of interest reporting and management. It is proposed that future guideline developers should follow the WHO Handbook for Guideline Development, assign roles of experts, strengthen the management and reporting of conflicts of interest, and standarderize the development process and reporting of the guidelines.
