Stem cell has a prospective future in cells therapy.However,the harvesting of stem cells is a paradoxical issue.In fact.the essence of dispute on stem cell studies is a combat between utilitarianism and moralism.The point of view of Marx's Ethics about stem cell studies present dialectical harmony between utilitarianism and moralism.The development of an embryo is a developing process from cell mass to natural persons.but not social persons which have characteristics of sociality and consciousness.Embryo is not completely a person,so embryonic stem cell harvesting is consistent with Marx's Ethics.But the timing of harvesting stem cells and the way to deal with the embryo need further discussion.

Objective:To find the effect of the abnormity of hypothalamus-pituitary-hypothyroid axis on cerebral infarction onset. Methods: Objects were divided into 3 groups: cerebral infarction group(CIG)、persons with cerebral infarction risk factor group(CIRG) and control group(CG) .The concentration of serum T3、T4、TSH、TGA and TMA on an empty stomach in each group were measured respectively by radioimmunoassay,and results were compared between each two groups by using Student t test. Results:Compared with CIRG and CG,the levels of T3、T4 in the sample of CIG were lower,and the level of TSH were higher,and there was distinctly difference(P0.01). Conclusion:This study indicated that the function of hypothalamus-pituitary-hypothyroid axis was abnormity in patients with cerebral infarction and those persons with cerebral infarctive risk factor.

Objective:The efficacy and toxicity of anticancer drugs differ in different tumor patients. It could not meet the requirements of optimization of tumor treatment if only under the guidance of clinical and pathologic characteristics. More and more attention is focused on individualized therapy based on individual gene profiles. It has been identified that gene polymorphisms are responsible for different outcomes of individuals. Gene polymorphisms, including sequence polymorphism and single nucleotide polymorphism, will decrease the clinical efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs or increase adverse reactions by influencing the expression or activity of the corresponding proteins. In recent years several gene polymorphisms related to drug metabolism, transportation, or inactivation may affect the outcomes of chemotherapy and the frequency of adverse reactions. Identification of the polymorphism genes is important for individual therapy for tumor patients.

BACKGROUND:At present, there are many clinical trials concerning plate fixation and smal splint for distal radius fracture, but there is lack of systemic evaluation.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the curative effect of the plate fixation and smal splint in the treatment of intraarticular fractures of the distal radius.
METHODS:We retrieved the Chinese biomedical database (1979-2008), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (1979-2008), VIP database (1989-2008) and Wanfang Digital Periodical Group (1998-2008). Of them, China National Knowledge Infrastructure contained Chinese periodical databases, important meeting ful-text databases, and Master-Doctor thesis database. Foreign databases included PubMed (1966-2008), EMbase (1980-2008) and the Cochrane Library (2008, 4th). The ful text that could access was supplemented by manual search back issues of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tianjin University Library repository. Clinical randomized control ed trials addressing plate fixation with smal splint in the treatment of intraarticular distal radius fractures were col ected. The data were extracted independent by two evaluators and methodological quality assessment was performed. According to the search strategy and data col ection methods, 363 English articles and 488 Chinese articles were found, including 401 periodical literatures, 79 conference proceedings, and 8 theses. After reading title, abstract, ful text, 12 articles met the inclusion criteria. Meta analysis was conducted with RevMan 5.0.20 software provided by the Cochrane Col aboration Network.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The evaluation of this system involves locking compression plate, normal internal fixation with plate, smal splints and plaster external fixation methods. Meta analysis of the results shows that the curative effects of locking compression plate in the treatment of intraarticular fracture of distal radius were better than that of common plate, smal splint or gypsum. Moreover, there were few complications. There is no significant difference in the effects between common plate fixation in treatment of intraarticular fracture of distal radius and the fixation with smal splint or gypsum.

BACKGROUND:Critical limb ischemia is difficult to be treated among the peripheral arterial occlusive diseases, and the application of transplanting autologous stem cells can bring a hope for the treatment of this disease.
OBJECTIVE: To review the autologous stem cells transplantation in the treatment of critical limb ischemia at present, and to study the mechanism and the existing problems.
METHODS:A computer retrieval of PubMed database, Wanfang database, and CNKI database was conducted to search the related articles with the keywords of“stem cell, transplant, critical limb ischemia”in English and Chinese. Final y, 47 articles were included in final analysis according to the inclusion criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Autologous stem cells transplantation for treatment of lower extremity ischemic disease is a latest and significantly effective treatment, but the mechanism is unclear and stil needs further study.

Objective To explore influence of electroacupuncture on somatostatin expression of newborn neurons in the hippocampus of chronic epilepsy rats.Methods The double-label immunofluorescence with confocal microscope was used to observe somatostatin expression of newborn neurons in the hippocampus of chronic epilepsy rats after electroacupuncture stimulation of Dazhui (GV14)' and Baihui (GV20)' in DuMai.Results Somatostatin expression of newborn neurons was found in the hippocampus.Moreover,in somatostatin expression of newborn neurons,epileptic rats with electroacupuncture had less than epileptic rats in the hippocampus.The former had an obviously significant difference compared with the latter (P

This study was to compare 104 cases of malignant midline lymphoma with 69 cases of malignant granuloma in their clinical course, initial symptoms, location of lesion, extension of disease, treatment and prognosis. The two groups were similar in sex and median age. As regard to the initial symptoms such as nasal obstruction, epistaxis and nasal discharge, they were present in more than half of the patients in both groups. The primary location of lesions was in the nose (60% in both groups). As the Ann Arbor staging system is unsuitable for this disease, we compared the treatment results by area of involvement. Treatment: 74% of malignant midline lymphoma was treated by radiation and chemotherapy. 27% of malignant granuloma was treated by chemotherapy. The radiation of the two groups were 45～55Gy and 50～60Gy, respectively. The 5-year survival rates were over 90% in both groups, for those of lesion with one area involvement, 87.8% and 68% for lesions with two area involvement. 52.3% and 51.5% for three area involvement, 26.6% and 29% for four area involvement patients. Besides local uncontrol, the failure was extra-nodal invasion, such as subcutaneous nodules, pleura-peritoneal or bone marrow extensions. The authors believe that these two groups of lesions actually belong to one disease entity.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacyand safety of intratympanic injection of steroids in the treatment of sudden hearing loss with diabetes.METHODS PubMed, Medline, CNKI, CBM, VIP, and Wanfang databases were searched by electronic retrieval to collect documents meeting the inclusion criteria and extract data.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3.RESULTS There were 9 articles included in the literature search,a total number of 587 ears, of which 294 ears accepted intratympanic injection of steroids as the experimental group. Another 293 ears was control group,of which 217 ears accepted systemic steroids and 76 ears accepted non-hormone therapy.Meta analysis results showed that the clinical effect of experimental group was more remarkable than that of the control group (Z=3.65, P<0.05;Z=3.70,P<0.05). The influence on blood sugar in experimental group was smaller than that of the control group (χ2=7.471,P<0.05). Other complications of intratympanic steroid injection were self-healing after tympanic membrane perforation, transient dizziness and so on.CONCLUSION There was a significant effect on patients with sudden hearing loss and diabetes through intratympanic steroid injection. It has little effect on blood glucose and slight complications, which is a priority in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the relationship of diabetic nephropathy with serum endothelin-1(ET-1) and C-reactive protein(CRP). Methods Levels of blood pressure, glucose, lipid, creatinine,ET-1,CRP and urinary albumin excretion(UAER) were measured and calculated in 86 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and 30 healthy subjects. Results Serum ET-1 and CRP were significantly higher in T2DM than in control(P<0.05，P<0.01).Serum ET-1 and CRP were increased with increment of serum creatinine and UAER(P<0.05，P<0.01). Conclusions Serum ET-1 and CRP may be involved in the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy.
