In modern world,bioethics has become an international social movement since its inception during the mid-twentieth century.In the practices of clinical bioethics,methodology is the most crucial issue concerned by western scholars.Briefly,the article introduces and analyzes the empirical approach in contemporary European world,as well as explains the interaction between bioethics and naturalism.Based on current development of mainstream ethics,the article also tries to answer the question about "is and ought" in the background of clinical practice.The research aims at providing the ideas and experiences for the development of Chinese clinical bioethics.

Pain is one of important topics in Bioethics.Pain,which looks like a simple physical symptom,involves the crucial ethical value.In Western bioethics,pain has been discussed for some decades.However,pain still hasn't been emphasized as an important topic in Chinese Bioethics world.Therefore,from bioethical perspectives,this article attempts to study pain under four subtitles: the notion of pain;some bioethical debates about pain;narrative of pain and illness,and pain: a way to go further for Bioethics studies.

MicroRNA (miRNAs) are endogenous,small and noncoding regulatory RNAs,which widely exist in eukaryotes.MiRNAs regulate the expression of target gene by translating inhibition or mRNA destabilization.MiRNAs have been recognized as a major regulatory fashion of post-transcriptional gene expression and play important roles in many cellular biological processes,including cellular proliferation,diffcrentiation,cell death.Alteration of expression and/or dysregulation of miRNAs are related to a wide variety of severe fundus diseases,such as diabetic retinopathy,age-related macular degeneration and retinoblastoma.This review aimed to provide a summary of the recent progress in the effect of miRNAs on fundus diseases.

The actuality of natural medicines in China,Europe,America,and Korea were explained, and analyzing existing problems of research and development of the natural medicines in China combing development trend of natural medicines,research trend,future direction,thought and methods for research of natural medicines were put forward in the paper.

Objective:To study the cognitive features of text anxiety. Methods: The cognitive features of text anxiety were explored by exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis on the basis of interview,questionnaire surveying and criterion.Results:There were 6 cognitive factors leading to test anxiety: self-test, worrying, magnifying conclusion, resistance, preparing, self-efficacy.Conclusion: The 6 factors of cognition about text are related to text anxiety

Objective: To explore the differences between the internal social adaptation and external social behaviors of freshmen. Methods: Make a survey of 198 freshmen on the internal adaptation and external by General Well-Being Schedule and Undergraduate Social Adaptation Questionnaires. Results:Freshmen' social adaptation mainly involves three factors: interpersonal communication, the state of campus life and performance of studies. The Cronbach alpha of 3 factors were 0.82, 0.87 and 0.90,and the re-test reliability was r=0.73 (P

Objective To investigate the effects of ?-aescin on nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) activities and tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) protein expression in the rat brain tissue following acute traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods A total of 62 SD rats were subjected to a lateral cortical impact injury caused by a free-falling object and divided randomly into four groups, ie, sham operation group (Group A), injury group (Group B), ?-aescin treatment group (Group C) and pyrrolidine dithocarbamate (PDTC) treatment group (Group D). Group C was administered with ?-aescin and Group D treated with PDTC immediately after injury. A series of brain samples were obtained directly 6, 24 hours and three days respectively after operation in four groups. The NF-?B activation of rat brain was determined by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and the levels of TNF-? protein in rat brain measured by radio-immunoassay (RIA). In the meantime, the water content of rat brain was measured and pathomorphological observation carried out. Results Compared with Group A, NF-?B activities, the levels of TNF-? protein and the water content of the rat brain were significantly increased (P

OBJECTIVE:To set up and improve the procedures and methods for the introduction of new drugs into hospital.METHODS:A supervising system on the introduction of new drugs was established and a programmed management on the introduction of new drugs was put into practice.RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:A series of measures such as establishing expert database for the evaluation of the introduction of new drugs,assuming supervision throughout the course carried out by discipline inspection committee,increasing clinical pharmacy evaluation and monitoring after the introduction of new drug,etc.have achieved good outcome in the management on the introduction of new drugs,which help promote hospital's fair,transparent and scientific introduction of new drugs.
