1.Plastic Surgery and the Cultural and Time-Varying Differences of Physical Beauty
Chinese Medical Ethics 1996;0(01):-
Physical beauty does not only equal to the shape of body fit for the formal principles of aesthetics, but also the embodiment of culture, and its essence lies in body which embodies wisdom. So plastic surgery does not equal to shape body according to the formal principles of aesthetics, it has to be directed by somaesthetics. Prudence in dealing with the cultural and time-varying differences of physical beauty embodies and even creates the culture of physical beauty.

Objective:Use a new F-PCR method to develop a hepatitis C virus(HCV) diagnostic kit, test the kit through clinical trial and compare it with immunological method. Methods: Fluorescence PCR(F-PCR) is a method which combines PCR and fluorescence probe hybridization together to measure DNA/RNA. Because in-tube monitoring of fluorescence signal can be done to stand for the quantitity of PCR product. Electrophoresis and UV detection are eliminated, so after-PCR cross-contamination which causes false positive can be avoided. Results:A clinical diagnostic kit for HCV with this method is developed. 512 clinical serum samples were tested with this kit, using HCV FLISA kit from Abbott Co.and HCV Fluorescence RT-PCR kit from Biotronics Co. (B-PCR) as control. The results shows :positive rate is 30.5%,sensitivity 97.3 % and specificity 98.1% . Conclusion: F-PCR is obviously superior to ELBA, and higher than B-PCR in sensitivity. The specificity of those three kits have no statistic difference. F-PCR can be used to monitor RNA of HCV in serum, and could be useful for clinical diagnose and therapy effects monitoring.

Objective To retrospectively investigate the endoscopic characteristics and pathological features of colorectal polyps in over-aged patients (≥80 years). Methods The 1617 colonoscopies performed between January 2006 and December 2010 were enrolled in our retrospective analysis. The detection rate, size, location, form and pathological feature of polyps in 150 over-aged patients were investigated, and they were compared with those in 832 young patients (<60 years) and 635 old patients (60-79 years) with colorectal polyps. Results The detection rate of polyps was 62.0% in over-aged group, and was significantly higher than in young group and old group (30.2% and 48.7%, respectively, χ2=56.58 and 8.64,both P<0.001). The malignant transformation rate of ascending colon polyp was 5.4% in over-aged group, and was significantly higher than in young group (1.2%, χ2=4.90, P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between over-aged group and old group (3.9%, χ2=0.36, P>0.05). There were no statistical differences in canceration rate, polyp diameter, morphology and adenomatous polyp rate among the three groups. The malignant transformation rate was significantly increased in adenomatous polyps with diameter over 2 cm, but didn't reach statistical significance. Conclusions The polyp detection rate is noticeably higher in the over-aged than in the old and the middle-aged, and the malignant transformation probability is also increased. The colonoscopy indications in the high risk age groups should appropriately be broadened, they should receive regular intervals follow-up, and undergo polypectomy in time if necessary.

Changes of corneal properties induced by laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) results in low inaccurate intraocular pressure (IOP) readings by Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT). Before and after LASIK, the applied value of IOP, measured by dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) in comparison to GAT, was evaluated. Before and 1, 4 weeks after LASIK, the IOP in 30 cases (60 eyes) was measured by GAT and DCT respectively. The obtained results were statistically processed by SPSS11.5 statistical software. The results showed that central corneal thickness (CCT) could affect GAT measurements but not DCT measurements. The comparison of IOP one and 4 weeks after LASIK revealed that the readings from GAT was separately decreased by 5.00 +/- 1.12 and 5.45 +/- 1.13 mmHg as compared with those before LASIK, while those from DCT had no significant difference. It was concluded that LASIK-induced changes of CCT could influence the accuracy of GAT measurements, but had no influence on those from DCT. DCT was more beneficial to the measurements of IOP in normal eyes and those subject to LASIK surgery.
