The use of human biological specimen has great significance to the development of biomedicine. Meanwhile, the powerful electronic data set with sophisticated analytic techniques creates challenge to the protec-tion of private information. As for the research with human biological specimen, how to facilitate the research con-duct on the basis of ethical principles is one of the key considerations when the US Department of Health and Hu-man Service initiated the revision of Code of Federal Regulations ( CFR) -theCommon Rule for subject protec-tion. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ( NPRM) proposed:Respect for autonomy will be enforced by broad con-sent to enforce and waiver of consent intend to be rare;If the research risks only involve privacy protection, review process will be simplified under the premise of ensuring the implementation of privacy laws and other protective measures. The paper introduced the revisions related to the researches using human biological specimen in NPRM, analyzed the terms of broad consent, exemption and exclusion, and explored the elicitation to ethical review prac-tice in China.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of Yangyin Tongluo Pills combined with acupuncture for the treatment of cerebral infarction sequela. Methods One hundred patients with cerebral infarction sequela were evenly randomized into treatment group and control group. The control group was given acupuncture therapy combined with oral use of clopidogrel, and the treatment group was given acupuncture therapy combined with oral use of Yangyin Tongluo Pills (mainly composed of Fructus Lycii, Flos Chrysanthemi, Radix Rehmanniae, Cortex Moutan, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Flos Carthami, Semen Persicae, Pheretima, Rhizoma Gastrodiae, Ramulus Uncariae cum Uncis, Spica Prunellae, Radix Glehniae, Radix Ophiopogonis, Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis, Radix Pseudostellariae) . One month constituted a treatment course, and the treatment covered 2 courses. After treatment, the therapeutic effect of the two groups was evaluated, and the changes of National Institute of Health Stroke Scale ( NIHSS) scores and Barthel Index Scale for activities of daily living ( ADL) , and hemorrheology indexes were observed before and after treatment. Results (1) After treatment for 2 courses, NIHSS scores were decreased, ADL scores were increased in the two groups (P<0.01 compared with those before treatment) , and the improvement of the treatment group was superior to that of the control group ( P<0.01) . ( 2) After treatment, hemorrheology indexes were much improved in the treatment group ( P<0 . 05 or P<0 . 01 ) , but remained unchanged in the control group ( P>0.05) . The treatment group had better effect on improving hemorrheology indexes than the control group (P<0.05) . (3) The total effective rate of the treatment group was 90.00% and that of the control group was 64.00%, the overall therapeutic effect of the treatment group being superior to that of the control group (P<0.05) . Conclusion Yangyin Tongluo Pills combined with acupuncture are effective for the treatment of cerebral infarction sequela, and the effect is superior to that of acupuncture combined with clopidogrel.

The expression of c-erbB-1 and c-erbB-2 oncoproteins were investigated by immunohistochemical technique using monoclonal antibodies to c-erbB-1 and c-erbB-2 oncoproteins in 43 cases of hasal cell carcinoma (BCC) and 26 cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The results showed that: ① The expression of c-erbB-1 oncoprotein in BCC increased; the expression of c-erbB-2 oncoprotein in BCC reduced significantly, and lost in 16 cases (16/43). ② The intensities of c-erbB-1 and c-erbB-2 oncoprorein expression had negative and positive correlations to the degrees of SCC differentiation respectively. It is suggested that the abnormal expression of c-erbB-1 and c-erbB-2 oncoprotein in BCC and SCC may play a role in the development of skin tumors.

Objective To assess the inlfuence and safety of early atorvastatin sequential therapy in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients underdoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention on selected indicators of inflammation and serum lipids. Methods A total of 88 CHD patients who got ready to receive the elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were divided in two groups at random:The sequential dose group was called group A (atorvatatin 80mg as loading dose ,40 mg/d for 1 month after PCI and 20 mg/d subsequently, n=43), and the ordinary dose group was called group B ( atorvastatin 20 mg/d, n=45). During the follow-up, blood samples were taken at baseline, 3 days,1 month, 3 months and 6 months for myeloperoxidase (MPO), matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9), serum lipids, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glutamyl endopeptidase (GGT) and creatine kinase (CK) levels. Main adverse cardiac events and adverse effects were also analyzed. Results Compared with the baseline, the level of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and total cholesterol (TC) was signiifcantly decreased in both two groups after treatment (P < 0.05). The LDL-C and TC in both groups were all decreased after treatment, and the degree of LDL-C and TC decreased at 3 days had signiifcant differences between the two groups (TC:26.6%vs. 14.0%;LDL-C:36.9%vs. 19.4%, both P<0.05). The degree of LDL-C decreased at 1 month between the two groups also had signiifcant differences (45.0%vs. 26.9%;P<0.05). The changes in LDL-C and TC level were also signiifcantly different between the two groups at 3 and 6 months (P<0.05). While TG and HDL-C remained unchanged. MMP-9 and MPO were both reduced post medication compared to pre-treatment levels (P<0.05). MPO was decreased signiifcantly in group A after treatment (F=18.455, P=0.000). And the same differences in group B were also signiifcant (P < 0.05). MPO post medication between the 2 groups were not significantly different (P > 0.05). Reduction in MMP-9 also showed signiifcant in both groups after treatment (group A:F=46.911, P=0.00;group B:F=19.156, P=0.00). The adverse effects had no signiifcant differences between the 2 groups (P>0.05). Conclusions The atorvastatin sequential theapy in CHD patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention could decrease serum lipids signiifcantly. Pretreatment with atorvastatin for patients undergoing PCI could inhibit inlfammation. The MACE and adverse effects were similar between the two groups.
