Meanwhile,type IV collagen decreased rapidly when modeling began and recovered after modeling stopped for 2 weeks.Laminin increased as soon as modeling began and did not recover when modeling stopped for 2 weeks.CONCLUSION:The pathological changes of the model were similar to that of human ALD,but mild in degree.It had typical peri-sinusoid fibrosis, however,capillarization seemed to be instable.It may be related with the reduction of type IV collagen in the basement of sinusoid during modeling.展开更多
