Newborn screening is known as a two-blade sword like science and technology.For on the one hand,newborn screening has brought human being incredible advantages,while on the other hand,it has also led to some ethics-related issues.Based on research on current situation of newborn screening in Yueyang city,this article analyzes major reasons for these ethics-related issues,further puts forward some feasible countermeasures and principles to solve the issues.

Objective To improve the animal model of hypertrophic scars for studying their pathology. Methods Twenty nude mice were divided randomly into two groups of 10. In group one every mouse received a full thickness piece of human skin grafted into the subcutaneous tissue of their hack. After the graft had survived 14d after transplantation, a burn was caused on the graft with a heated copper cylinder. The mice in the second group received the transplant but no burn. The status of the grafts and scars was observed, and histological examinations of the grafts were performed. Results Nine mice in group one survived, of which eight developed obvious and persistent hyper-trophic scars after the burns. These were hard and rose above the surrounding skin. Eight nude mice survived in group two, of which only six developed hypertrophic sear analogues after transplantation. Histological examinations showed abundant collagen deposition and inflammatory infiltration in all sears. Conclusion The similarity, repeat-ability, certainty, and survival rate of this improved hypertrophic scar model are superior to those reported previously. This improved animal model can induce obvious and persistent scarring that can be used to observe the whole proce-dure of hypertrophic scarring, so it is a useful tool for studying hypertrophic scars.

Objective To evaluate the effects of magnesium sulphate on the efficacy of postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with morphine. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes aged 45-60 yr weighing 48-70 kg scheduled for elective upper abdominal surgery were randomly allocated into 2 groups ( n = 30 each) : morphine group (group M) and magnesium sulphate-morphine group (group MS) . If the VAS score=3, PCIA was started. Patients in group M received morphine in a 0.015 mg/kg bolus dose. Patients in group MS received morphine 0.015 mg/kg and magnesium sulphate 0.9 mg/kg. The consumption of analgesic drugs was recorded at 4, 8, 16, 24 and 48 h after 1st attempt. The gastrointestinal function recovery time was recorded. Venous blood samples were taken before anesthesia induction and at the end of operation and analgesia to determine the serum magnesium and calcium ion concentrations. Results Compared with group M, the consumption of analgesic drugs was significantly decreased, and the gastrointestinal function recovery time after operation was significantly shortened in group MS (P < 0.05). The serum magnesium ion concentration in both groups was significantly lower at the end of operation and analgesia than before anesthesia induction ( P < 0.05) . The serum magnesium ion concentration in group MS was significantly higher at the end of analgesia than at the end of operation ( P <0.05) .There was no significant difference in the serum calcium ion concentration between M and MS groups. Conclusion Magnesium sulphate can ameliorate the efficacy of postoperative PCIA with morphine.

Objective The research is to study the temperature rising situation in the thermochemotherapy process of the domestic dog through the hepatic artery, and the bearing ability of heart, liver, and kidney during the process, as well as the biochemical and histological change of the liver after the procedure. Methods A thermostated container of water bath and an infusion pump, both designed domestically, were adopted. Ten domestic dogs were divided into 2 groups of A and B with 5 dogs respectively. Through hepatic artery infusion for group A, glucose solution (GS) was administered at 43?C for 30 minutes, with the flowing rate of 30ml/min, in group B 5% GS at 45?C for 30 minutes, with the flowing rate of 40ml/min added with chemotherapy drug MMC(0.2mg/kg) was administered to 3 dogs and 5% GS with the same flowing rate added with CDDP(1mg/kg) into other 2 dogs. Results The temperature of anus and liver was 0.3～0.5?C and 0.5～1.0?C higher than before the procedure respectively, there was no significant rate changes of heart and respiration during and before the procedure. Four dogs were radiographied after 15 minutes' infusion, showing different degrees of hepatic artery dilation accompanied with relevant increase of infusion. Six dogs were radiographied after 30 minutes' infusion, 5 of them showed arterial contraction astescal on accompanied with relevant decrease of infusion. There appeared slight or moderate increase of aminopherase after the procedure, but in actually returned to normal within a week. Pathologically, there appeared no acute effect on heart, lung and kidney other than slight and reversible damage to hepatic tissue. Conclusions Healthy dogs can endure the chemotherapy treatment of infusion through hepatic arterial fistula at 43?C 45?C for 30 minutes.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between MRI signal for infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) and pathological changes in knee osteoarthritis (KOA),and to analyze the role of IPFP in the development of knee osteoarthritis.Methods:A total of 114 subjects (without special knee disease) were enrolled for this study.The intensity of MRI signal for IPFP was determined by fat-suppressed proton-density-weighted turbospin-echo magnetic resonance imaging.Based on the cartilage defects and osteophytes of knee joint,the subjects were divided into a KOA group and a control group.The difference of MRI signal for IPFP between two groups was analyzed.Results:After excluding the potential confounders of age,gender and BMI,the intensity of MRI signal for IPFP was positively correlated with defections in patellar,medial femur,lateral tibial or knee joint (OR 1.333 to 2.168,P 0.006 to 0.023);the intensity of MRI signal for IPFP was also positively correlated with osteophytes in patellar,medial femur,lateral tibial or knee joint (OR 1.309 tol.781,P 0.004 to 0.046);the intensity of MR/signal for IPFP in the KOA group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P=0.028).Conclusion:The increase in the density of MRI signal for IPFP is an imaging manifestation for knee degeneration.IPFP inflammation and endocrine abnormalities may play an important role in KOA.

BACKGROUND:Umbilical cord blood as a source of hematopoietic stem cel s has become a hot topic. Adjuvant therapy of umbilical cord blood transfusion has been used in China to correct renal anemia of uremia patients. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel s in the treatment of renal anemia, and to compare with the effects of different sources of mesenchymal stem cel s with different transplantation methods on the treatment of kidney diseases. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was conducted on six renal anemia patients in the Department of Outpatient, Henan Red Cross Blood Center between January 2010 and December 2012. The experiment was approved by Medical Ethics Committee, six patients were informed consent for treatment programs, and parturients and their families have signed the informed consent. The newborns umbilical cord blood of 80-140 mL were col ected with closed sterile plastic blood bags, and then the separated umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel s were transfused into the renal anemia patients through the superficial vein in the back of the hand with the number of≥1×108/copy, two copies per time, and re-transfused after 4 days, a total of three times. The blood hematocrit, hemoglobin, red blood cel s in urine, renal blood flow changes were observed before and after treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The hemoglobin, blood hematocrit, red blood cel s in urine and renal blood flow were significantly increased before and after treatment (P<0.05). Transfusion of multiple copies of umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel s through the superficial vein in the back of the hand is convenient and safe, which is considered as a new method for the treatment of renal anemia. But there are certain limitation in the data and the conclusion as the clinical research was designed as self-control, so further confirm is needed.

Objective To analyze clinical effects of gastric tube operation for treatment of esophageal cancer in elderly patients and evaluate its clinical efficacy and safety.Methods A total of 171 patients aged 60-72 years with esophageal cancer in our hospital were selected.They were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.Treatment group was treated with gastric tube operation,and control group was traditionally treated with complete replacement of esophagus with stomach.The quality of life,patient satisfaction and safety of operation were evaluated after 3 weeks,6 months and 12 months after operation,respectively.Results The operation for esophageal cancer in 171 patients were successful.At 3 weeks after the operation,the score of life quality in treatment group and control group were both low [(67.3±9.6) vs.(65.3±8.4)],and there were no significant differences between the two groups (P＞0.05).At 6 months and 12 months after operation,the scores of life quality were (89.2±8.3) and (90.3±9.6) in treatment group,and (66.5± 10.4) and (60.5 ± 11.2) in contol group,respectively.There were statistical differences between the two groups after 6 months and 12 months of operation (P＜0.05).The complication rate in treatment group (6.9％) was much lower than that in control group (30.6％),and there were significant differences between the two groups (x2 =18.43,P＜0.01).The patient satisfaction was in no differences between the two groups at 3 weeks after operation (P＞ 0.05),while there were statistically significant differences at 6 and 12 weeks after the operation (P＜0.05).Conclusions Gastric tube operation in treatment of elderly patients with esophageal cancer,can effectively improve the life quality,and prevent the occurrence of postoperative complications,which is worthy of clinical application.
