1.The Ethics Issues and the Relevant Countermeasures for Abortion of Disposal
Chinese Medical Ethics 2014;(2):238-240
In recent year , there are some questions about abortion of disposal .Though the aborted fetus is un-born, the aborted fetus in different stage has the different attribute of ethics .It should be considered with the hu-man right and the personality right .The value in embryonic stem research and organ transplantation of aborted fetus has raised some problems , such as ethical review , the choice of test sample .The existing legal provisions are not sufficient to solve practical problems .We should disposal aborted fetus of different stage through the way of more moral significance .

[ Objective ] To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture ( EA) on synaptic transmission in hippocampal dentate gyrus of rats with cerebral ischemic damage. [Methods] Sixty Wistar rats were enrolled into this study. Among them, 30 were given high-frequency stimulation (HFS) and the other 30 were not. Then the HFS rats were randomized into sham-operation group (group A), model group (group B) and acupuncture group (group C); so did the non-HFS rats. Bilateral carotid arteries were exposed but not blocked in Group A, while were blocked by traction with silk thread for modeling in group B. Group C were treated with EA before and after modeling. Effects of EA on synaptic transmission in hippocampal dentate gyrus of non-HFS rats were evaluated with in-vivo long-term potential ( LTP) recorded by electrophysiological technique. Effects of EA on LTP in hippocampal dentate gyrus of HFS rats were observed after LTP was induced by HFS. [Results] In non-HFS rats, no significant changes of magnitude of population spike (PS) occurred within 120 min in group A; magnitude of PS in group B decreased at 10th min after modeling ( P

Objective To discuss the application value of shear wave elastography (SWE) and superb microvascular imaging (SMI) in pathological grading of breast invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC).MethodsSixty patients with breast tumor were selected,which were totally 64 lesions.Before operation,SWE and SMI pattern were started to detect the lesions.And images in SWE and SMI pattern were saved.All lesions were proved to be IDC and pathological gradings were got according to the pathological result.The mean of Young′s modulus(AveT1) and maximum of Young′s modulus(AveT2) were recorded in SWE pattern,and degree of blood was recorded in SMI pattern followed Adler′s grading standard.Then differences of AveT1,AveT2 and degree of blood in different pathological grading of invasive ductal carcinoma were evaluated.Results ①In pathological grading 1 group,the average of AveT1 was (62.1±10.4)kPa,and the average of AveT2 was (93.0±20.1)kPa.In pathological grading 2 group,the average of AveT1 was (79.8±8.6)kPa,and the average of AveT2 was (120.6±18.7)kPa.In pathological grading 3 group,the average of AveT1 was (92.6±12.1)kPa,and the average of AveT2 was (137.3±21.5)kPa.The AveT1 and AveT2 were gradually growing with higher pathological grading of breast invasive ductal carcinoma,which were statistically significant (P<0.05).②In pathological grading 1 group,there were 7 cases in the degree of blood 0-Ⅰ and 14 in the degree of blood Ⅱ-Ⅲ.In pathological grading 2 group,there were 3 cases in the degree of blood 0-Ⅰ and 18 cases in the degree of blood Ⅱ-Ⅲ.In pathological grading 3 group,there were only 1 case in the degree of blood 0-Ⅰ and 21 cases in the degree of blood Ⅱ-Ⅲ.There were more lesions of rich blood with higher pathological grading of breast invasive ductal carcinoma,which was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusions There are differences of elastography and degree of blood in different pathological grading of breast invasive ductal carcinoma,SWE and SMI can prompt pathological grading and provide important clinical reference value.

Objective To clarify whether the NADPH oxidases (NOXs) family contributed to the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and subsequent interstitial fibrosis in unilateral ureter obstruction (UUO) rats.Methods Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (n =8),sham operation + apocynin treatment group (n =8),UUO operation group (n =8) and UUO operation+apocynin treatment group (n =8).Either vehicle or apocynin (100 mg/kg per day) were given by gavage for 7 days after surgery.Rats were sacrificed at 7th day.ELISA was used to detect the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT),and the level of 8-iso-prostaglandin F2alpha (8-isoPGF2α) in renal tissue.Western blotting was used to detect the protein expressions of NADPH oxidase subunit NOX2 and NOX4,α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA),collagen Ⅰ (COL-Ⅰ) and the level of ERK1/ 2 phosphorylation (p-ERK1/2).Results UUO rats with vehicle displayed increased oxidative stress,as measured by renal tissue 8-iso-PGF2α,accompanied with increased renal expression of NADPH oxidases (NOX2,1.5-fold and NOX4,1.7-fold,respectively),compared with sham-operated rats (P <0.05).Furthermore,vehicle treated UUO rats showed increased renal COL-Ⅰ and α-SMA levels,compared with sham-operated rats (P < 0.05).ERK1/2 was also activated as detected by p-ERK1/2 expression in UUO rats with vehicle (P < 0.05).Apocynin treatment significantly decreased renal tissue 8-iso-PGF2α level and expressions of NOX2 (-28.7%) and NOX4 (-31.0%) in UUO rats,respectively,compared with vehicle treated rats (P < 0.05).And significant decrease of COL-Ⅰ (-26.4%) and α-SMA expression (-80.0%) were also observed (P < 0.05).The activation of ERK1/2 in UUO rats was greatly inhibited by apocynin treatment (P < 0.01).Despite the pronounced dysregulation of pro-oxidative NOXs family,no compensatory increase of antioxidative enzyme activities occurred.Conclusion The NOXs family contributes largely to the production of ROS and subsequent interstitial fibrosis after ureter ligation,and inhibition of the NOXs family may be a choice for preventing interstitial fibrosis.
