This article deals with the relationships between doctors and patients in the ethical and legal perspective.It emphasizes that doctors should envisage,solve and settle new problems even conflicts with patients.Meanwhile,it points out that in China's tradition of ethical standard,the harmony between doctors and patients could not copy the legal system of the West.Adoption of ethics and laws as well as social responsibilities could result in good relationships between doctors and patients which could improve the service of hospitals.

Objective To investigate the effect of continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP) on nocturnal polyuria in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS). Methods The number of nocturia, the nocturia output, the osmotic pressure of nocturia and the nocturia excretion of Na＋ . Plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in night were measured in 8 patients. After treatment with CPAP, the patients were recorded or measured by those index again. Results The number of nocturia ， The nocturia output， The osmotic pressure of Na＋ ,and the plasma leels of NAP in night decreased significantly after tretment with CPAP.The osmotic pressure of nocturia rose significantly.The reduction of ANP corrected with the reduciton of the nocturia output,addition of the osmotic pressure of nocturia and the reduction of the nocturia exeretion of Na＋ .Conclusion CPAP can reduce the number of nocturia, the nocturia output and the nocturia excretion of Na＋ , increase the osmotic pressure of nocturia. The changes probably relate with the reduction of plasma level of ANP.

To introduction the biological function of vascular endothelial growth factor and to explore the role of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and in the pathogenesis of endotoxin,ischemia-reperfusion,hyperoxia,ventilator-induced lung injury(ALI)/acute respiratory distress(ARDS).

Objective To differentiate the sequences of Cyt b gene Agkistrodon from its adulterants sold in the market in order to provide molecular evidence for identification of Agkistrodon. Methods Cyt b gene was used to sequence and analyze Agkistrodon and its adulterants sold in the market. Results There was a mixed phenomenon in Agkistrodon species. The differences of Cyt b gene sequence between Agkistrodon and its adulterants sold in the market are significant: the difference rates among the species of Agkistrodon are 0%—0.91%, the difference rates between Agkistrodon and its adulterants are 18.57%—23.78%. Conclusion The characteristics of Cyt b gene sequence can be used as a better molecular marker for authenticating Agkistrodon from its adulterants.

Pyroptosis is a way of programmed cell death which is newly discovered in recent years. Animal studies have shown that pyroptosis is involved in the occurrence and development of brain injury from various causes. Inhibition of pyroptosis plays a protective role in the nervous system in animal models by reducing the neurological symptoms. Pyroptosis may provide a target for clinical treatment of neonatal brain injury. This paper reviews pyroptosis's mechanism and its role in the pathogenesis in brain injury in various conditions for a better understanding of neonatal brain injury.

Impaired recognition of foreign nucleic acid initiates abnormal mucosal immune responses in intestine.Very little is known on how microbial DNA activates intracellular DNA sensors and controls the function of antigen-presenting cells to shape mucosal immune responses in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).In current review,we will introduce mucosal dendritic cell population,describe newly identified cGAS-cGAMP-STING complex,and identify certain IBD susceptibility genes that associate with impaired microbial DNA recognition in human.

Objective: To determinate the content and stability of 2,3,5,4′ stilbene glucoside in prepared Radix Polygoni Multiflori from differet areas.Methods:The content of 2,3,5,4′ stilbene glucoside was determined by HPLC, and the test of its stability was carried out on high temperature and 60 Co ? ray radiation. Results: The contents of 2,3,5,4′ stilbene glucoside in prepared Radix Polygoni Multiflori from different areas varied from 0.127% to 4.150%. 2,3,5,4′ stilbene glucoside was unstable under high temperature especially in solution, but it was stable under 60 Co ? ray radiation. Conclusion: The qualities of prepared Radix Polygoni Multiflori are different in different areas.

Objective To investigate the role of peroxynitrite in induction of apoptosis in non-heart-beating donor (NHBD) liver grafts. Methods Rat livers were harvested and perfused via the portal vein with 60 ml of cold 4℃ HTK solution from heart beating donors (HB) or 60 min after car-diac arrest from NHBD. A third group consisted of NHBD livers which were perfused with HTK con-taining 7500 IU of superoxide dismutase (SOD) (n=6, resp.). After cold storage for 24 h, the func-tional integrity of the liver was evaluated by isolated reperfusion with Krebs-Henseleit Buffer in a re-circulating system at 37℃ for 45 min. Results Compared to the NHBD livers, HB and SOD groups were characterized by a significantly reduced hepatic enzyme leakage(P<0. 05) as well as decreased portal venous pressure(P<0.01). Bile production upon reperfusion was increased significantly (P< 0.01). Prominent decreasing nitrite oxide(NO) (P<0.05), nitrotyrosine(P<0.01, P<0.05) and apoptosis(P<0.05) in effluent perfusate was encountered. Slight nitrotyrosine staining was concen-trated on the endothelial cells. Conclusion Peroxynitrite may play a fundamental role in the apoptosis caused by enhanced oxygen free radical production in NHBD livers.

Objective To study the different effects of hypertensive putamen hemorrhage with two different treatments of decompressive craniotomy and small bone window(keyhole) surgery. Methods Retrospective analysis of 120 cases of hypertensive putamen hemorrhage in patients with operation data was carried out. They were randomly divided into two groups according to the different surgical procedure, and then compared the incidence of postoperative complications, close and long-term effects and so on. Results There was no significant difference in early complication rate and postoperative GOS score after a week between two groups(P＞0.05). The difference was significant between two groups in close and long-term effects (P ＜ 0.05 ). Conclusion Small bone window (keyhole)surgery had characteristics such as surgical time-saving ,less damage and more rapid recovery with removal of hematoma, and made played a significant role in promoting the recovery of close and long-term effects with patients.

Aspirin is a primary and secondary preventive medication for ischemic cerebrovascular diseases .Artery thrombotic events are still possible to occur after taking aspirin for a long time,and this indicates aspirin resistance(AR).At present, there is still lack of gold standard for the diagnosis of AR. It is usually interpreted as the loss of the biological effect of aspirin's antiplatelet aggregation and the role of preventing cerebral thrombosis events. Once AR occurs, other safe and effective altematives to antiplatelet agents should he used timely. This article reviews the concept, epidemiology, mechanisms, laboratory methods for detection and clinical intervention of AR.
