1.Evolution and ethical considerations of therapeutic misunderstandings under the new design scheme of clinical trials
Chinese Medical Ethics 2024;37(8):885-889
Through the voluntary participation of subjects, strictly designed clinical trials have generated new generalizable scientific knowledge to benefit more future populations. However, subjects participating in clinical trials often cannot distinguish between trials and clinical treatments, and they expect clinical trials to be able to treat their diseases. This phenomenon is called therapeutic misunderstanding, which needs to be prevented because it cannot meet the requirements of research ethics. With the advent of precision medicine, the scenario of clinical trials has changed significantly, manifested as the integration of trials and clinical treatments, and the prominent clinical benefits of subjects. The new treatment-oriented design scheme blurs the boundary between trial and treatment, giving subjects participating in clinical trials more opportunities for clinical treatment while increasing the risk of therapeutic misunderstanding, changing the connotation of therapeutic misunderstanding, and triggering more ethical thinking. Ethics committees should pay more attention to content related to the review of the design scheme of clinical trials, the opportunities for patients to participate in trials and enrollment of subjects, changes in communication and informed consent between researchers and subjects, the definition of roles for clinicians and researchers, and other aspects, to ensure that clinical trials better protect the rights, safety, and well-being of subjects while generating new knowledge.

OBJECTIVEThe purpose of this current investigation was to describe the distribution characteristics of pesticides poisoning in Hangzhou during 2006-2013.
METHODSThe registration data of pesticide poisoning in Hangzhou during 2006-2013 were collected from health disserve surveillance information system which was part of China information system for disease control and prevention. The statistical analysis method included Pearson Chi-square test and Cochran-Armitage trend test.
RESULTSThere were totally 6232 cases with pesticide poisoning during 2006-2013, of which 414 cases died. The fatality rate of poisoning patients was 6.64%. The pesticides, especially organophosphorus pesticides, were the main poison that caused poisoning, and patients with pesticide poisoning accounted for 80.60% of all the poisoning patient. There was more female patients than male patients among non-productive pesticide poisoning, but on the contrary among productive pesticide poisoning. The incidence of pesticides poisoning had significant increase in the third season.
CONCLUSIONSOccupational pesticide poisoning and non-occupational pesticide poisoning had the different distribution character. Non-occupational pesticide poisoning was the chief reason of pesticide poisoning. The pesticides, especially organophosphorus pesticides, were the main poisons threatening the health of people in Hangzhou, and the effective prevention and control measures should be taken immediately.

Objective: To propose an automatic skeleton thinning algorithmfor accurate extracting the center line of coronary artery from CT images. Methods The region of coronary artery on CT images were segmented, and complete 3D data of coronary artery were obtained after 3D reconstruction. Then the center line of coronary artery was extracted using skeleton thinning algorithm. Dijkstra algorithm was introduced according to the characteristics of coronary artery to improve the accuracy of extraction. Results Compared with the skeleton thinning algorithm which didn't remove mini branches, the rate of overlap was increased by 2%, the average distance was reduced by 38.2%, and the average running time was 0.48 s. Conclusion Using improved skeleton thinning algorithm could effectively extract the center line of coronary arteries.

OBJECTIVETo summarize the experience with duodenal perforations to determine a systematic management approach.
METHODSA total of 11 250 patients who received endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) in The First People's Hospital of Hangzhou from January 2005 to December 2011 and 15(0.13%) patients developed duodenal perforation. The clinical data of these 15 cases were analyzed.
RESULTSThere were 6 males and 9 females. The age ranged from 45 to 87 years. Seven patients developed perforation after sphincterotomy of the duodenal papilla. Five patients perforated due to the endoscope, and 3 due to guide wire and net basket. All the patients presented varying degree of abdominal pain and distention. CT scan of the upper abdomen showed peripancreatic and retroperitoneal air or fluid. Diagnosis was confirmed in 7 patients using abdominal X-ray. Eight patients developed postoperative abdominal pain and distention, subcutaneous emphysema, and fever 3 hours to 5 days after surgery, and diagnosis was confirmed using plain abdominal X-ray or upper abdominal CT scan. Nine patients were managed conservatively, 4 of whom were diagnosed within 3 hours after perforation and were managed by endoscopic metal clip and nasobiliary drainage and no abdominal abscesses developed. The length of hospital stay ranged from 10 to 15 days. Five patients were diagnosed 10 hour to 5 days after perforation, of whom 2 had intestinal fistula, 4 had abscess, and one died, the length of hospital stay ranged from 15 to 105 days. Six patients were managed surgically, 4 received surgery within 4 to 8 hours after perforation and no abscess developed, and the length of hospital stay ranged from 18 to 21 days. The other 2 patients were operated at 24 hours and 30 hours after perforation respectively, one of whom had recurrent intra-abdominal bleeding after surgery and one died from intra-abdominal abscess and multiple organ failure.
CONCLUSIONSFor duodenal perforations related to ERCP, early diagnosis can be made by prompt intraoperative identification and postoperative CT scan. Endoscopic metal clip and nasobiliary drainage should be considered aside from surgical intervention.
