Ankylosing spondylitis(AS)is a typical spinal arthritis characterised by inflammatory back pain,which seriously affects the health and quality of life of patients.The clinical efficacy of Chinese medicine in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis is clear,but the mechanism is not clear,and the existing animal models cannot be well applied to the evaluation of Chinese medicine in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis.Therefore,this paper summarizes the existing animal models based on Chinese and Western medicine clinical diagnosis,disease characteristics,etiology and Chinese medicine evidence,and finds that among the existing animal models,the proteoglycan-induced arthritis mouse model has a higher Chinese and Western medicine clinical fit than the other models,but lacks the corresponding Chinese medicine evidence model evaluation.The other animal models had a higher Western clinical match,but lacked the characteristics of the Traditional Chinee Medicine(TCM)syndrome.As ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease with complex pathogenic factors,the existing animal models cannot better simulate the clinical symptoms.Therefore,the establishment of animal models of ankylosing spondylitis with the characteristics of Chinese and Western clinical evidence is a future research priority for AS TCM.

Patients with Crohn's disease (CD) are often complicated with malnutrition and enteral nutrition is the preferred option for nutritional support. Enteral nutrition is the first-line therapy to induce remission of CD in children, but its application in adults has not been well established. In recent years, studies have found that enteral nutrition can not only improve the nutritional status in adult CD patients, but also induce and maintain CD remission through various mechanisms. Given its favorable nutritional efficacy and safety, enteral nutrition has been considered as the basic treatment for adult CD patients and often used in combination with other treatment approaches. However, any combination therapy should be assessed in terms of benefit and risk. This review aims to describe the efficacy and safety of enteral nutrition combined with other treatment approaches in adult CD patients and enumerate common applicable clinical settings, so as to better inform clinical treatment.

Objective:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth most dominant cancer in the world and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the China. With the increase in the incidence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in the population, the correlation between MS and HCC has gradually been recognized. MS manifests as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (shortly known as NAFLD) in the liver. A large number of research results has shown that the development of fatty liver is closely related to the occurrence of HCC, in which lipid metabolism plays a key regulatory role, and lipid metabolism is regulated by fatty acid binding protein (FABP). This study signifies the lipid metabolism analysis and the key FABP expression conditions in HCC.Methods:Data of patients who were first diagnosed with primary HCC between January 2016 to July 2019 were collected, and were divided into two groups according to the etiology, namely the viral and non-viral hepatitis-related HCC group. The relationship between MS-related factors and HCC was analyzed by t-test and chi square test. The expressions of FABP1, FABP4 and FABP5 were detected in cancer and adjacent tissues by immunohistochemistry, and the expressions of FABP1, FABP4 and FABP5 in HCC with fatty liver were detected by immunofluorescence. Finally, the expressional characteristics of the above-mentioned FABPs in HCC patients were analyzed with different clinicopathological features.Results:There were statistically significant differences in the rate of abnormal lipid metabolism and the number of abnormalities in MS-related factors between the viral and non-viral hepatitis-related HCC group. FABP1, FABP4, and FABP5 expression in HCC tissues were lower than the corresponding adjacent tumor tissues. Compared with simple HCC, FABP1, FABP4, FABP5 expression were increased in HCC tissues with steatosis, and the expression of FABP was closely related to the clinical characteristics of patients.Conclusion:Abnormal lipid metabolism is closely related to non-viral hepatitis-related HCC. The expression of lipid metabolism regulatory proteins FABP1, FABP4, and FABP5 are down-regulated in HCC tissues, but up-regulated in HCC with fatty liver, suggesting that the relationship between MS, especially dyslipidemia, and HCC should be paid attention to in clinical practice for early intervention. FABP1, FABP4, FABP5 may regulate HCC occurrence and development.

Anxiety and depression are common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), especially in patients with complex and active disease. IBD promotes the occurrence of anxiety and depression, while anxiety and depression also affect the progression of IBD. However, the pathogenesis has not been fully clarified, which is related mainly to inflammation, immune activation and brain-gut axis. Clinically, psychological disorders could be screened and identified by quantifiable assessment tools. Appropriate psychotherapy and psychiatric drugs can reduce the level of anxiety and depression and improve the quality of life of patients. This article reviewed the anxiety and depression related to IBD and its intervention.

Objective To investigate the effect of exercise diary on arm exercise compliance ofpatients with peripherally inserted centralcatheter (PICC). Methods Thirty patients with PICC hospitalized in our hospital from June to August in 2017 were selected as the control group, where the patients received guidance on functional exercises through arm exercise videos and routine methods. Another thirty-two patients hospitalized in our hospital from September to November of 2017 were selected as the observation group, where in addition to the same treatment as in the control group and these patients received interventions using their self-designed exercise diary for a total of 31 days. Their compliance with functional exercises before and after intervention and the incidences of venous thrombosis after intervention were compared between the two groups. Results After interventions, the compliance rate of arm exercises in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (90.6% vs. 26.7%, P<0.05). The incidence of venous thrombosis in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (3.1% vs. 30.0% , P<0.05). Conclusions Exercise diary can improve the arm exercise compliance of PICC patients and prevent the occurrence of venous thrombosis. It is worthy of clinical application and promotion.

Tumor microenvironment is the key factor that influences the invasion and metastasis of tumor cells.Exosome is the particle by which cells can make communication in microenvironment.MicroRNA (miRNA)is widely involved in physiological processes,and plays an important role in the stability of tumor environment.MiRNAs in exosome play roles in tumor cell proliferation,extracellular matrix remodeling,and then promote the metastasis,invasion and angiogenesis of tumor.Thus,the expression of oncogenes can be blocked by regulating the exosome production and secretion.It may shed light on the development of a thera-peutic strategy for tumor treatment.
