      Abstract:在中国传统文化里,诚与信可以互训,但从伦理学的角度,两者在内涵上还是有着细微的差异."诚"有两个层次的含义,首先从根本意义上说,它是一个本体论的概念,是道德的最高境界;第二个层次的含义是在本体论的指向下修身养性的道德意识."信"相对于"诚",更多的是在"诚心"的价值导向下为人处世的具体道德要求.受中国特殊的血缘文化、家族文化的影响,中国传统诚信观表现出自律性、重义轻利的特点;诚信在西方文化中可以追溯到两个源头,一个是基督教文化中的诚信观,另一个是古希腊文化延伸出来的契约伦理.与中国相比,西方诚信观产生起便与法律制度、交易关系紧密联系,更多的表现出一种他律性和经济性.

      Abstract:在知情同意原则的发展历程中,不管是对"同意"缺失还是"知情同意"缺失的关注,都彰显了对患者的自主权和自身权的尊重.在信息披露是否充分的判定方面,从以"医师"为导向的客观化披露标准到以"患者"为导向的主观化披露标准的演变也为患者自主权和自我决定权的保护做了一个很好的注脚.而在"伤害"诉因和"疏忽"诉因的选择上,支持者和反对者的立论基础也在于患者的自主权和自我决定权.从知情同意原则的发展轨迹中可以窥视出,知情同意原则所保护的权利是患者的自主权和自我决定权.患者的自我决定权是一种人格权,是一种可从国家宪法文本中找到落脚点的宪法权利,是一种在强制医疗场合可对抗国家政府行为无合法根据侵入的自由利益,是一种消极面和积极面两面一体的权利.

    • Serotonin in human skin

      Abstract (1947) HTML (62) PDF 0.00 Byte (107) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In this review the authors summarize data of a potential role for serotonin in human skin physiology and pathology. The uncovering of endogenous serotonin synthesis and its transformation to melatonin underlines a putative important role of this pathway in melanocyte physiology and pathology. Pathways of the biosynthesis and biodegradation of serotonin have been characterized in human beings and its major cellular populations. Moreover, receptors of serotonin are expressed on keratinocytes, melanocytes, and fibroblasts and these mediate phenotypic actions on cellular proliferation and differentiation. And the widespread expression of a cutaneous seorotoninergic system indicates considerable selectivity of action to facilitate intra-, auto-, or paracrine mechanisms that define and influence skin function in a highly compartmentalized manner. Melatonin, in turn, can also act as a hormone, neurotransmitter, cytokine, biological modifier and immunomodulator. Thus, Serotonin local synthesis and cellular localization could thus become of great importance in the diagnosis and management of cutaneous pathology.

      Abstract:Objective: To study the relationship between one polymorphism in the promoter of the DNA repair gene XPA and the susceptibility to lung cancer. Methods: Genotypes were determined by the PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP)method in 310 histologically-confirmed lung cancer cases and 341 age and sex frequency-matched cancer-free controls. Results: The XPA A23G genotype frequencies were 27.1% (AA), 42.9% (AG), and 30.0% (GG) in case patients and 21.1% (AA), 52.8% (AG),and 26.1% (GG) in control subjects. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that individuals carrying at least one 23G variant allele (AG + GG genotypes) had a significantly decreased risk for lung cancer (adjusted OR = 0.66; 95% CI = 0.44- 0.98) compared with the wild-type genotype (23AA). Stratified analysis showed that the protective effect was more evident in subjects with a family history of cancer. Conclusion: These results suggest that the XPA A23G polymorphism may have a role in lung cancer susceptibility in this study population.

      Abstract:Objective: To investigate the effects of gene transfer of a β-adrenergic receptor(β-AR) kinase inhibitor(β ARKct)on pulmonary β2-adrenergic receptor and cAMP following β2-AR agonist treatment in asthmatic mice, and to analyze the relationship between the routes of gene delivery and the changes of β2AR and cAMP. Methods: BALB/c mice were sensitized and challenged by ovalbumin to establish the asthmatic model treated with βAR agonist ( salbutamol injected intramuscularly). The plasmid with the expression of βARKct was constructed and βARKct gene transfer was performed through intravenous injection or intratracheal instillation in asthmatic mice.The gene expression was measured with Western blot analysis, and the changes of pulmonary β-AR and cAMP evaluated by Radioimmunoassay. Results: The expression of tranfered βARKct gene was detectable in lungs and it was expressed more in the lungs of the mice receiving intratracheally plasmid than those receiving intravenously. The levels of βAR and cAMP were upregulated after using plasmid-βARKct to the asthmatic mice treated with β AR agonist. Conclusion: Our results indicated that there were down-regulation of βAR and cAMP in asthmatic mice treated with βAR agonist. Gene transfer of βARKct could inhibit the extent of the down-regulation of βAR and cAMP. The route of gene delivery could also affect the degree of up-regulation of βAR and cAMP. Gene transfer βARKct may provide a novel approach to the therapeutic strategy for asthma.

      Abstract (2437) HTML (60) PDF 0.00 Byte (109) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Objective: Bererine has been used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in Chinese traditional medicine because of its hypoglycemic effect. In this report, we compared the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activities of erythrocyte insulin receptors from type 2 diabetes mellitus with or without stimulation by berberine in vitro. Methods: Preparations containing insulin receptors were obtained from soluble human erythrocytes, and the insulin receptors were partially purified by affinity chromatography. The tyrosine kinase activity was measured by the exogenous substrate phosphorylation. Results: Both the membrane tyrosine kinase activity and the purified receptor tyrosine kinase activity from diabetics decreased significantly compared with those of normal individuals (reduced by 67.4 % and 47.2 %, respectively).After incubation with berberine, there is a statistical difference in the activity of membrane tyrosine kinase for diabetic patients (a 150% increase). Bererine had no effect on the tyrosine kinase activity of purified insulin receptors. Conclusion: We concluded from these results that berberine was able to improve the insulin sensitivity by increasing the protein tyrosine kinase activity of membrane-bound insulin receptors from type 2 diabetes mellitus.

      Abstract:Objective: Angiogennesis, the formation of new blood vessels from the existing vascular bed, is essential step for growth and invasion of primary tumor. Vascular endothelial growth-factor (VEGF) is known to play crucial role in tumor angiogenesis. In the present study, we investigate the expression of VEGF and VEGF-mRNA in the angiogennesis, metastasis and prognosis of lung cancer.Methods: The VEGF cellular distributions and expression in 38 specimens of patients with lung cancer were investigated with immunohistochemistry stain technology. The total RNAs in 38 tissues of lung cancer was measured, then the levels of VEGF-mRNA expression were analyzed by a reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay. The levels of VEGF in sera of patients with lung cancer, benign lung diseases and healthy controls were detected through Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Results: The VEGF positive stain was 76% in 38 cases of lung cancer specimens. The 89% rate of VEGF stain was found for clinical stage Ⅲ cases and 92%for stage Ⅳ lung cancers. The significantly higher expression of VEGF was evidenced in patients with lymph node metastasis (84 % ), distant metastasis (90%), and lung cancers with lower histological differentiation (89%), respectively. The expression level of total RNA was significantly higher in patients with lung cancers than that in their paracancerous or distant lung tissues. The VEGF expressions were tightly correlated with total RNA concentration of lung carcinoma ( P < 0.01 ). The predominant expressions of VEGF121 and VEGF165 gene fragments were found in lung cancer specimens by RT-PCR analysis. No significant difference of serum VEGF levels was detected between cases with lung cancer and patients with benign diseases. However, the VEGF level of cases with benign diseases was decreased significantly after patients with anti-inflammation medication. Conclusion: The present data suggested that the tumor tissue VEGF expression and VEGF-mRNA analysis in patients with lung cancer be a useful indicator for angiogenesis and metastasis of lung cancer.

      Abstract:Objective: To evaluate the recent curative efficacy and security of High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in combination with chemotherapy(PFC) in patients with advanced gastric carcinoma. Method: Sixty patients with measurable advanced gastric carcinoma,proved pathologically, were divided into Group A and Group B. Group A: Patients were treated by HIFU(FEP-BY01) in combination with chemotherapy(PFC, paclitaxel, cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil). Group B: Patients were treated with the single regime of PFC. Results: All cases could be evaluated. In group A, 5 patients achieved complete response, 17 patients achieved partial response,and a response rate was 73.3 %. The stable disease(SD) and the inefficiency all were 13.3 % (4/30) respectively, and msurvival time(MST)was 13.9 months. In group B, 2 patients achieved complete response, 14 patients achieved partial response, and a response rate was 53.3%. The stable disease(SD) was 23.3%(7/30). The inefficiency all were 23.3%(7/30) respectively, and median survival time was 9.6 months. There was significant difference between two groups' MST( P < 0.05). Major toxicities included bone marrow depression,nausea, vomiting and alopecia, without significant differences between two groups( P > 0.05). Conclusion: This study shows that HIFU in combination with chemotherapy(PFC) was a new efficent and secure therapy for the patients with advanced gastric carcinoma. It was observed that the MST was prolonged. Prospective trials should be warranted to determine the result.

      Abstract:Objective: To compare carotid catheters blooddrawing and tail-cut blooddrawing in traumatizing rats and changing their internal L-selectin. Methods: Two ways of bloodletting were selected to produce hemorrhagic shock models. Monoclonal antibody sign and flow cytometer were used to test neutrophil L-selectin dynamic expression in rats. Results: No remarkable differences were shown among different time points in neutrophil L-selectin expressing amount (average fluorescence index)( P > 0.05). Compared with the normal control group, all cell surface expressions in empirical control group increased. Cell surface expressions reached the summit at 3 hours and kept the high level at 4-5 hours. A progressive increase of the mRNA expression peaked at 5 hours; the expressions in both groups of carotid catheters blooddrawing increased compared with normal control group, and remained stable after 3 hours compared with the Tail-cut Blooddrawing Group. Conclusion: L-selectin expressions changed little in tail-cut blooddrawing rats, while carotid catheters resulted moderate or sever trauma. Therefore, it was suggested that it should not be set as hemorrhagic shock control model. As neutrophil L-selection expressions increased after trauma, the adhesion of leucocytes to the venule wall may be beneficial to the healing of wound and enhance the ability of anti-infection. The immediate increasing of neutrophil surface L-selectin expressions in this study was likely due to the direct release of Lselectin from cytoplasm granules that do not depend on protein synthesis.

Methods: After selecting the living examples for independent sample T-Test, Epi Info 5.00, 5.01a(Chinese), 6.00, 6.04 b, 6.04 d, 2000, 2002(Chinese)were used to do the independent sample T-Test on the two living examples. Then, Intercooled Stata7, Microsoft Excel(2002) and SPSS 10.0 for Windows were used to verify the results. Results: The statistical results from the Epi Info 5.00, 5.01a(Chinese) and 6.00 were the same while that from Epi Info 6.04 b, 6.04 d, 2000,2002 (Chinese), Intercooled Stata7, Microsoft Excel(2002) and SPSS 10.0 for Windows were identical In independent sample T-Test,. But the former result is different with the latter. Conclusion: There was an error in the result of T-Test from Epi Info 6.00 and former versions. Thus, it's important to be alert to select the versions of Epi Info to manage and analyze disease data. On the other hand, it's also quite pivotal to distinguish the adopted Epi Info versions when referring to the articles ane use the statistical results.

      Abstract:Objective: To review the epidemiological feature, clinical, and diagnostic data of post-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia (TDH) associated with pelvic fractures patients reported in recent 10 years. Methods: One case of delayed presentation of TDH after pelvic fractures taken place one month later was present, with a review on the literature of this kind of patients in our country. Results:The incidence of TDH associated with pelvic fractures was relatively rare, and the diagnosis were often delayed or missed. Although the trans-thorax approach was preferred for surgical closure in the acute phase, its mortality was 8.51%. Conclusion: TDH associated with pelvic fractures is difficult to diagnose because of their varied clinical and radiological signs and the patients may not present with symptoms for a long time following the injury. In clinical, a high index of suspicion with appropriate examination is the mainstays of management,which can also increase the prognosis.
