In the macrocosmic perspective,the development trend of the rights and obligations of doctors and patients is regarded as changes in the healthcare mode.In the microcosmic perspective,it is regarded as a clarification and emphasis of the informed consent of the patients as required by laws and regulations.However,medical workers tend to neglect their obligation of informing the patients of the medical expenses to be paid out of their own pocket.In this consideration,informing the patients in writing of their self-payment in medical expenses is obligatory and important,i.e,the self-payment agreement is highly important in clinical work.This paper analyzed the legal at-tributes of self-payment agreement in the aspects of both the informed consent and the signing of the medical service contract,with discussions of the tining of signature,in the hope of inspiring and helping medical workers in their clinical practice.

A variety of views and approaches were found in the appraisal and judgments of the people's courts in various provinces and cities,on medical disputes involving absence of a hand or foot of newborns,which result in different or event contradictory court decisions.This study made an analysis of the characteristics,nature,and classification of such cases as well as countermeasures of medical institutions,with recommendations on rational and appropriate handling of such cases,for the purposes of legitimate rights maintenance of both doctors and patients,and promotion of mutual understanding between the two parities,and establishment of a harmonious doctor-patient relationship.

Objective To explore the characteristics and biological functions of epigenetic treatment to DNMT1 expression in NSCLC cell lines. Methods Lung cancer cells were divided into 4 groups , and drugs with different concentrations. The effect of epigenetic treatment on NSCLC cell line was detected by CCK-8 and MTT. The effect of epigenetic treatment on the expression of DNMT1 in NSCLC cell line was detected by Western blot. Results CCK-8 and MTT assay showed that treatment with 5-Aza-CdR and MS-275 inhibited the proliferation of NSCLC cells. Western blot showed that treatment with 5-Aza-CdR and MS-275 inhibited the DNMT1 expression in NSCLC cells. Conclusion The expression of DNMT1 gene in the NSCLC cell lines may be suppressed effectively by epigenetic treatment , and the gene may inhibit the proliferation and growth of NSCLC cell lines.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness,safety and economy of the clinical application of levetiracetam(LEV)concentrated solution for injection generic drug and the original drug in the national centralized volume-based procurement.Methods The information of inpatients using original LEV concentrated solution for injection in the Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University(original drug group)and inpatients using generic LEV concentrated solution for injection in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College(generic drug group)was retrospectively analyzed after the implementation of the procurement policy(from November 2021 to March 2022).To compare the effectiveness,safety and economy of the two in the prevention and treatment of epilepsy.Results In the original drug group and the generic drug group,18 and 17 patients were enrolled in the treatment of epilepsy respectively,the effective rates were 50.00%and 58.82%,the incidence of adverse reactions were both 0%,and the median daily cost was 255.00(255.00,510.00)yuan and 131.78(131.78,131.78)yuan.After propensity score matching,both the original drug group and the generic drug group had 76 patients each received preventive medication,the effective rates were 97.37%and 100%(P>0.05),and the incidence of adverse reactions were both 0%.The median daily fee for the original the generic drug group was 170.00(170.00,170.00)yuan and 131.78(131.78,131.78)yuan,there were significant difference(P<0.01).Conclusion The clinical effect of generic and original LEV concentrated solution for injection in preventing epilepsy is basically the same,the clinical safety are equivalent,the generic has better economy than the original.The effective rate of the treatment of epilepsy is similar,while the sample size needs to be further expanded to verify the results.

Background Salidroside (SAL) has a protective effect on multiple organ systems. Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the atmosphere may lead to disruptions in gut microbiota and impact intestinal health. The regulatory effect of SAL on the gut microbiota of mice exposed to PM2.5 requires further investigation. Objective To evaluate gut microbiota disruption in mice after being exposed to PM2.5 and the potential effect of SAL. Methods Forty male C57BL/6 mice, aged 6 to 8 weeks, were randomly divided into four groups: a control group, an SAL group, a PM2.5 group, and an SAL+PM2.5 group, each containing 10 mice. In the SAL group and the SAL+PM2.5 group, the mice were administered SAL (60 mg·kg−1) by gavage, while in the control group and the PM2.5 group, sterile saline (10 mL·kg−1) was administered by gavage. In the PM2.5 group and the SAL+PM2.5 group, PM2.5 suspension (8 mg·kg−1) was intratracheally instilled, and in the control group and SAL group, sterile saline (1.5 mL·kg−1) was intratracheally administered. Each experiment cycle spanned 2 d, with a total of 10 cycles conducted over 20 d. Histopathological changes in the ileum tissue of the mice were observed after HE staining. Colon contents were collected for gut microbiota sequencing and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) measurements. Results The PM2.5 group showed infiltration of inflammatory cells in the ileum tissue, while the SAL+PM2.5 group exhibited only a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared to the control group, the PM2.5 group showed decreased Shannon index (P<0.05) and increased Simpson index (P<0.05), indicating that the diversity of gut microbiota in this group was decreased; the SAL+PM2.5 group showed increased Shannon index compared to the PM2.5 group (P<0.05) and decreased Simpson index (P<0.05), indicating that the diversity of gut microbiota in mice intervened with SAL was increased. The principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) revealed a significant separation between the PM2.5 group and the control group, while the separation trend was less evident among the control group, the SAL group, and the SAL+PM2.5 group. The unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA) clustering tree results showed that the control group and the SAL group clustered together first, followed by clustering with the SAL+PM2.5 group, and finally, the three groups clustered with the PM2.5 group. The PCoA and UPGMA clustering results indicated that the uniformity and similarity of the microbiota in the PM2.5 group were significantly decreased. Compared to the control group, the PM2.5 group showed decreased abundance of phylum Bacteroidetes and Candidatus_Saccharimonas (P<0.05) and increased abundance of phylum Proteobacteria, genus Escherichia, genus Bacteroides, genus Prevotella, genus Enterococcus, and genus Proteus (P<0.05). Compared to the PM2.5 group, the SAL+PM2.5 group showed decreased abundance of phylum Proteobacteria, phylum Actinobacteria, genus Prevotella, and genus Proteus (P<0.05), and increased abundance of Candidatus_Saccharimonas (P<0.05). The PM2.5 group showed reduced levels of propionic acid, valeric acid, and hexanoic acid compared to the control group (P<0.05), while the SAL+PM2.5 group showed increased levels of propionic acid, isobutyric acid, butyric acid, valeric acid, and hexanoic acid compared to the PM2.5 group (P<0.05). Conclusion Exposure to PM2.5 can cause pathological alterations, microbial dysbiosis, and disturbing production of SCFAs in intestinal tissue in mice. However, SAL can provide a certain degree of protective effect against these changes.
