The study and discussion of the establishment,continuance,and termination of physician-patient relationship from a legal point of view is of great significance for establishing a harmonious physician-patient relationship,standardizing the rights and duties on both sides,and regulating doctors' clinical practice.The physician-patient relationship is a special type of contractual relationship,whose establishment needs the patients' requirement,doctors' commitment,and the consistence and acknowledgement expressed or implied by both sides.But the patients with acute diseases or dangerously ill or the patients with Class A infectious diseases are exceptions.In the physician-patient relationship,patients enjoy more rights and doctors assume more duties.In the continuance of physician-patient relationship,principles of the bilateral equality and negotiated consensus should be followed.The physician-patient relationship should be terminated when the doctors have fulfilled their duties or the occurrence of statutory causes.

Objective To investigate therapeutic effects of CT-guided percutaneous minimally invasive treatment by using Herbert screws for wrist scaphoid fracture . Methods From September 2010 to October 2012, 21 patients with scaphoid fracture were treated by internal fixation by using Herbert screws under the guidance of CT .The results of the procedure were assessed in terms of osseous union , pain extent , grip strength , and active motion of the wrist .Postoperative outcomes were evaluated by wrist standard scores based on patients’ perception of functions. Results The operation time was 25 -55 min (mean, 35.3 min).The intraoperative blood loss was 8-40 ml (mean, 18.6 ml).Fracture fragments were cured with bone union , with an average healing time of 10.4 weeks (range, 8-17 weeks).All the 21 cases were followed up for 8 -13 months (mean, 9.8 months).The VAS scores at the last follow-up was (1.2 ±0.8) points, which was significantly lower than that before the operation (5.3 ±1.4) points (t=11.785, P=0.000).The grip strength was (39.6 ±3.5) kg, which was significantly higher than that preoperatively [(19.4 ± 2.4) kg, t=-21.624, P =0.000].The Angle of wrist flexion and extension was 115.2°±7.4°, significantly higher than preoperative measure (89.8°±10.4°, t =-9.103, P =0.000).The wrist ulnar radial deflection angle was 53.7°±5.5°, significantly higher than preoperative one (39.4°±3.4°, t =-10.116, P=0.000).At the last follow-up assessment of wrist functions, excellent result was recorded in 18 cases, and good in 3 cases, with a good-or-excellent rate of 100%. Conclusion Treatment of scaphoid fracture with Herbert screws under the guidance of CT is a minimally invasive method , bearing advantages of little incision, simple operation performance , and good effects .

2(38.2 vs 34.4 months, P=0.214).The 1, 2 and 3-year local control rates were 84.0%, 72.9% and 56.7%, respectively.Conclusion:When given a sufficient combination of modality treatment for selected elderly patients with esophageal carcinoma, the tolerance and therapeutic efficacy were not significantly worse than those of younger patients.Therefore, combined chemoradiotherapy for elderly patients is worthy of further study.

The de novo transcription of hTERT gene represents a rate-limiting step in the activation of human telomerase.The expression of hTERT is strictly regulated with several oncogene products and tumor suppressor gene products in normal cells.The construction of a reverse-transcriptional virus vector that contains the promoter of hTERT without losing its specificity can dramatically augment the expressions of anticancer genes in telomerase-positive cancer cells,which prompts the use of an hTERT promoter for anticancer gene therapies.Firstly,we briefly introduce the structure and regulation of hTERT gene,and then we also review the present knowledge of its biological function in cancer progression.

Objective To investigate the effect of cryotherapy of employing Argon/Helium assisted with TACE for the unresectable primary liver carcinoma. Methods 124 cases with primary liver carcinoma were randomly divided into two groups:60 cases were treated by TACE and cryotherapy; the other 64 cases were simply done by TACE as control. In general, TACE was undertaken once a month and altogether three times for a course. Cryotherapy was undergone 1-3 times for a course. Results The total effective rates (CR+PR) were 45.3% for the control group and 68.3% for the combined therapy group, with an obvious difference between the two groups, 0.5,1,1.5 years survival rate were 81.3%,62.5%,43.8% respectively in the control group;93.3%,83.3%,63.3% respectively for the combined group. There was an obvious difference between the two groups of 1,1.5 years of survival rates. Conclusions Cryotherapy of employing Argon/Helium assisted with TACE for the unresectable primary liver carcinoma is feasible with raising the effective rate and prolonging survival time.

Objective To explore the effects of inhibiting DDR2 expression by siRNA on hepatic stellate cells and evaluate the role of DDR2 gene in hepatic fibrogenesis. Methods (1) Three pairs of chemically synthesized siRNAs targeting DDR2 were respectively transfected into HSC-T6 cells for evaluation of silence efficacy, and the most effective siRNA was used. (2) HSC-T6 cells were divided into three groups, group A served as normal controls, group B served as negative control and group C was RNA interference DDR2 (siRNA-DDR2) expression of HSC. The most effective RNA interference sequences targeting DDR2 gene was chosen to transfect HSC-T6 cells by plasmid transfection. The tendency of DDR2, α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA) and collagen-Ⅰ mRNA expression were estimated using RT-PCR, and the protein expression of DDR2 was evaluated by Western blot. Meanwhile, MTT assay was employed to analyze the proliferation of HSC. Results (1) DDR2 siRNA, which began at nt 868, inhibited DDR2 gone expression stronger than the other two siRNAs. (2) After transfection of siRNA-DDR2, the mRNA expression of DDR2 (P<0.01) and α-SMA (P<0.01) significantly decreased compared with the normal group, and the protein expression of DDR2 also significantly decreased (P<0.01). In addition, the proliferation of HSC was also markedly suppressed as compared with the normal group (P<0.01). However, compared with the negative control group, none of them was markedly suppressed. Conclusion SiRNA targeting DDR2 significantly suppresses the activation, proliferation of HSC, and thus attenuates hepatic fibrogonesis in vitro.

Objective To investigate the effects of hepatic pedicle exclusion and low central venous pressure (LCVP) on blood loss in right lobe tumor resection and evaluate its influence on hepatic and renal function. Methods Forty-eight patients with right lobe tumor admitted from December 2006 to June 2008 were randomly allocated to the LCVP group (23 cases) and routine hepatectomy, (control group 25 cases). During the parenchymal transection phase of surgery, CVP < 5 mm Hg ( 1 mm Hg = 0.133 kPa) and SBP ≥90 mm Hg were maintained in the LCVP group by drugs. However, no special management of CVP and SBP was done in control group. The parenchymal transection blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative hepatic and renal function changes between two groups were compared, and the incidence of comphcation was also observed. Results There were no significant difference in type of hepatectomy, time of vascular clamping, period of operation, postoperative complication rate, postoperative hepatic and renal functions between two groups. Parenchymal transection blood loss in the LCVP group was significantly lower than that in the control group (326.67 ± 109.13 ) ml vs (538.33 ± 177.07 ) ml, (P < 0.01 ). Postoperative hospital stay in the LCVP group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (8.52 ± 1.78) d vs (9.40±1.68) d, (P < 0.05). Conclusions Hepatic pedicle exclusion and LCVP during hepatectomy is safe. It can reduced blood loss during parenchymal transection and decrease postoperative hospital stay. It is no detrimental effect to hepatic or renal function.

The clinical data of 585 patients with connective tissue diseases (CTD) were retrospectively analyzed. Thyroid diseases were detected in 236 cases (40.3%) , in which the prevalence of hypothyroidism was the highest (47.9%) , followed by euthyroid sick syndrome (33.1%), Hashimoto thyroiditis (11.4%) and hyperthyroidism (5.1%) ect. Determination of thyroid function and autoantibodies to thyroid gland were essential in these patients.
