1.The ralation Ship of SARS patients' rights and public interests
Chinese Medical Ethics 1994;0(05):-
Some of the SARS patients' rights( such as self-determination, privacy, personal freedom and body eminent domain) and social commonweal principle conflict, which restricts a SARS patient's rights. Meanwhile the SARS patients must carry out their obligations to safeguard public interests. It's revealed from one aspect that the public not only pay attention to the patients' legal rights and interests but also understand the patients' rights and obligations are relative and flexible.

Objective To evaluate the functional outcomes and complications of patients with bone tumors who were treated with the excision-alcoholization-replantation (EAR) method. Methods From August 1965 to August 2003, 191 patients treated with the EAR method who had suitable follow-up were evaluated in our department, including 102 males and 89 females with an average age of 20 years (range, 10-62). On the basis of Enneking tumor staging, 136 patients were identified II B stage, 25 I B stage, and 30 invasive benign tumors and tumor-like lesion. The length of the resected part ranged from 5 cm to 26 cm, with marginal resection in 30 cases, wide resection in 116. The oncological parameters that were evaluated included survival of the patients, local recurrence, and metastasis. Complications included non-union, infection, and fracture of the grafts. Mankin evaluation system was used to assess functional outcomes. Results The mean follow-up time was 32 months (range, 1-372), 52 patients died with disease at the final follow-up. Five-year survival rates of high grade sarcoma and low grade sarcoma were 59% and 90%, respectively, with statistical significance (P=0.02). Lung metastasis were demonstrated in 52 patients (27.2%, 52/191), 51 (26.7%, 51/191) had local recurrence. Except the tumor factor, the total complication rate was 50.3%(96/191). Local complications included 33 nonunion (17.3%, 33/191), 39 fracture of the grafts (20.4%, 39/191), 39 infections of the graft (20.4%, 39/191), 15 fracture of internal fixation (7.9%, 15/191), 5 instability or semiluxation of the joint (2.6%, 5/191). The 5-year survival rate of inactivated bone was 55%. On the basis of Mankin functional evaluation, the satisfied rate was 50.3%. At last there were 141 patients (73.8%, 141/191) preserved their extremities. Conclusion Compared to other methods in the same period, EAR method is considered on the same level of safety in oncology, which superiorities are economic-applicable to patients and the well fitness of bone graft with the defects.

Melanoma is a malignant tumor derived from the skin and mucous membrane, the epidemiological data showed that the incidence of melanoma elevated rapidly in the last decade. Early lymph node metastasis is a distinguishing characteristic of melanoma. The assessment of regional lymph nodes is a vital factor for melanoma staging and comprehensive therapeutic strategies. The sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) plays an important role in this comprehensive diagnosis and treatment system. Completion lymph node dissection (CLND) with positive sentinel lymph node was accepted by traditional theories. But it has recently been questioned via the latest global clinical trial. CLND limited the benefit for melanoma specific survival. However, SLNB is the reliable procedure for staging and prognostic evaluation of melanoma patients with positive sentinel lymph node, and CLND can significantly improve the local control and decrease the regional recurrence according to the evidence-based medicine. The authors summary the recently correlational research of SLNB and CLND in melanoma in this review.

Objective:To explore the mid-term efficacy of liquid nitrogen-inactivated autologous tumor segment bone replantation for repairing bone defects after resection of malignant tumors in the long bone shaft.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 16 patients treated with liquid nitrogen-inactivated autologous bone graft at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from July 2015 to June 2017 to repair defects caused by malignant tumour resection of the diaphysis. There were 10 males and 6 females with a mean age of 23.4±11.6 years (range, 8-44 years), including 8 classic osteosarcoma, 2 high-grade surface osteosarcoma, 4 Ewing's sarcoma, 1 periosteal osteosarcoma, and 1 undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. Tumors were located in the humerus in 2 cases, in the femur in 8 cases and in the tibia in 6 cases. The mean length of tumor was 12.4±4.8 cm (range, 5.5-26 cm). Postoperative imaging examination was performed every 6 months, and the healing status of the transplanted bone-host bone was evaluated based on the imaging assessment method of the International Society of Limb Salvage (ISOLS) imaging assessment after allogeneic bone transplantation, and the complications were assessed using the Henderson classification. The five-year survival rate for patients and grafted bone was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve.Results:The median follow-up was 64 (60.3, 69.8) months. At the end of follow-up, 13 patients were tumour free and 3 patients died of multiple metastases at 19, 20 and 33 months after surgery. There were 32 osteotomy ends in 16 patients, of which 30 healed, including 11 metaphyseal osteotomy ends, and the healing time was 9 (6, 12) months after replantation of the tumour segment with liquid nitrogen-inactivated autologous bone; 19 osteotomy ends in the diaphysis took 13 (9, 21) months to heal, with a statistically significant difference in healing time between different sites ( Z=-2.25, P=0.025). Sixteen patients had six complications, including two cases of non-union at the diaphyseal site, one case of failure of internal fixation due to non-union, three cases of recurrence, and no soft tissue complications or infections. One patient with failed internal fixation was treated with a vascularized tip iliac bone graft that healed 6 months after surgery. Another patient died of multiple metastases with 1 unhealed diaphysis left. Three cases of recurrence were all located in the extracranial soft tissue of the autologous tumor segment inactivated by liquid nitrogen. Among them, one case underwent reoperation and local radiotherapy, and there was still no tumor survival after 65 months of surgery, and two cases died due to multiple metastases. The five-year survival rate of patients was 81% as calculated using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve, and the graft survival rate was 100%. There was no amputation and the limb salvage rate was 100%. Conclusion:The use of liquid nitrogen-inactivated autologous tumor segment bone replantation for reconstruction of bone defects after resection of malignant tumors in the shaft has advantages of higher healing rate, shorter healing time at the metaphyseal end compared to the osteotomy end, fewer complications, and higher survival rate of the replanted bone.

Objective:To investigate clinical significance and related factors of magnetic resonance hyperintense vessel sign (HVS).Methods:The clinical data and related imaging parameters of 109 patients with acute anterior circulation occlusion cerebral infarction, who admitted to Northern Theater Command General Hospital of People′s Liberation Army from April 2017 to August 2019, were analyzed retrospectively. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations including fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and three dimensional time of flight magnetic resonance angiography (3D TOF MRA) sequences within 24 hours of onset were performed. According to the distribution range of HVS in FLAIR sequence, the patients were divided into four grades (0, 1, 2 and 3), grades 0 and 1 belonging to HVS low grade group, and grades 2 and 3 HVS high grade group. Univariate and multivariate analyses were made to explore related factors of HVS. Fifty-two patients who completed baseline CT within six hours of onset before MRI examination were performed CT-Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (CT-ASPECTS) and DWI-Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (DWI-ASPECTS).The difference between CT-ASPECTS and DWI-ASPECTS was calculated. When the difference of ASPECTS ≤1, they were categorized as ASPECTS unchanged group (AN group); when the difference of ASPECTS>1, they were categorized as ASPECTS changed group (AY group). These two groups were compared to explore whether there was any difference in HVS grade, and Spearman correlation analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between HVS grade and the difference of ASPECTS.Results:The difference of hyperlipidemia, TOAST classification (large artery atherosclerosis (LAA), other etiology (SOE) or undetermined etiology (SUE)) and Willis circle classification (types Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ) between HVS groups were remarkable (58.6% (34/58) vs 37.3% (19/51), χ2=4.959, P=0.026; 23/5/23 vs 43/1/14, P=0.004; 3/14/12/22 vs 7/29/14/8, χ2=13.124, P=0.004). Other clinical factors and the locations of vessel occlusion did not show significant difference ( P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that LAA in TOAST classification (LAA vs SOE or SUE, OR=3.054, 95% CI1.257-7.422, P=0.014), Willis circle type Ⅰ (type Ⅰ vs type Ⅳ, OR=5.494, 95% CI1.074-28.091, P=0.041), and type Ⅱ (type Ⅱ vs type Ⅳ, OR=5.571, 95% CI1.895-16.372, P=0.002) were independent related factors to stimulate wide distribution of HVS. The grades of HVS were significantly different between the AN group and the AY group (1/15 vs18/18, χ2=9.114, P=0.002). Spearman correlation analysis showed that HVS grade was negatively correlated with the difference of ASPECTS ( r=-0.573, P<0.001). Conclusions:Both TOAST and Willis circle classifications are crucial factors affecting HVS distribution. HVS distribution range reflects the status of collateral compensatory. Recognizing HVS may help to evaluate the progress of early cerebral infarction volume.
