Through learning philosophy,human beings can overcome the fear of death and gain the wisdom of life.With the rapid development of modem high-tech,some people advocate to pursue the immortality of individual life using science and technology.This is the most restless thoughts,originating from the false belief of dogmatic rationalism:with the development of science and technology,human beings are possible to fully grasp the mysteries of the nature (including human body).In fact,nature as well as human body is always hidden in infinite mystery.The pursuit of immortality is from the pursuit of meaning.Setting up morality,making contribution,and achieving glory by writing are the legitimate ways for human beings to pursuit immortality as cultural animals.One just can pursue immortality in the cultural sense,but cannot pursue the immortality of individual life.

Recent studies about the GCT are focusing on searching for new standards and indexes to prognose the biological behavior of the GCT because of the traditional standards and indexes have been realized often not agree with to the clinic. we review the lately research about the biological behavior of the GCT, then analyse and sum up the correlative indexes that could be significant in studying the prognosis of the GCT.

Objective The aim of this paper is to develop a holistic mathematical model to quantify the correlation between skin thermal sensation and noxious stimuli,since skin thermal pain is one of the most common problems in everyday life and the understanding of the underlying physical mechanisms is still not clear.Methods The model is developed by considering the biothermomechanical behaviour of skin tissue and by incorporating the current understanding of biophysical and neurophysiological mechanisms of pain sensation.Results The proposed model consisted of three interconnected sub-models: peripheral modulation of noxious stimuli,which converts the energy from a noxious thermal stimulus into electrical energy via nerve impulses;transmission,which transports these neural signals from the site of transduction in the skin to the spinal cord and brain;and modulation and perception in the spinal cord and brain.The model predictions agree well with existing experimental data.Conclusion With this model,a direct relationship has been built between the level of thermal pain sensation and the character of noxious stimuli.

Clinical tutors' personality manifesting during the process of clinical practice and daily communication with medical interns has a series of influences on medical ethics formation of medical interns,including influences of direction,demonstration,contraction,and halo effect.Thus,clinical tutors should pay attention to cultivating a decent moral personality,and hospitals should value the proper combination of moral evaluation and supervision for medical staff in order to achieve the unity of heteronomous morality and self discipline,and effectively promote the formation of decent morality and personality of clinical tutors.

Objective To explore the controlling level of fasting blood glucose(FBG) and glucosylated hemoglobin(GH) in order to stop occurrence of nephropathy in diabetic mellitus.Methods Data was collected by retrospective study,analyzed by non-conditional Logistic regression.Then the controlling levels of blood glucose and glucosylated hemoglobin were studied by regression equation.Results It was regarded that under 6.8 mmol/L of FBG and 5.9% of GH,diabetic nephropathy can be prevented;while under 6.0 mmol/L of FBG and 5.3% of GH,the onset of diabetic nephropathy was strictly controlled.Conclusion it is more important to control strictly on the threshold of fasting blood glucose and glucosylated hemoglobin for prevention of diabetic nephropathy.

Objective To introduce the development of an adjustable and bed- type table for pleural puncture and observe its clinical effect. Methods 100 patients who were to undergo pleural puncture were divided into the experimental group and the control group with 50 cases in each group.The experimen-tal group adopted the adjustable and bed-type table for pleural puncture, while the control group used the conventional method.The pulse,respiration and artery blood oxygen saturation degree were observed. The ef-feet of puncture was also compared. Results The pulse and respiration increased and the artery blood oxygen saturation degree decreased after puncture,which were significantly different between the two groups. One- time success rate of puncture,comfort degree and satisfaction degree of patients in the experimental group were better than those of the control group. Conclusions Adjustable and bed- type table for pleu-ral puncture can reduce the uncomfort of patients and increase the success rate of puncture and satisfaction degree of patients.

Objective To explore the causes and surgical management of acute gangrenous cholecvstitis(AGC)after endoscopic sphincterotomy(EST).Methods Clinical and pathological data of 1066 patients who underwent EST from June 2003 to January 2007 were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsAGC was complicated in 16 patients(16/1066,1.5%),who underwent emergency operations and no death occurred.During the follow-up period of 4 to 36 months,no infection or obstruction was found.Conclusion Difficuitv in EST manipulation and biliary obstrucion might play a leading role in AGC after EST,and early surgical intervention is effective.
