Bioethics, one of the focus subjects in 21 century,attracts the attention in the worldwide.Originated from western developed countries,it has been branded with distinct western civilization,which is disadvantageous to the development of the subject.Some suggestions are put forward as following: 1.Communication between the East and the West should be promoted in order to form a solid multi-cultural base for bioethics. For instance, in America ethics bears the imprint of religious conventionality,while in China politics is infiltrated into traditional ethical ideas. Both of them are not perfect. So they cannot form the base of bioethics. 2.Research on the "base line" of the bioethics should be emphasized in order to provide freer academic atmosphere. Transplanting the western bioethical ideas to the developing countries will never work. As for the bioethical"base line",different countries should establish feasible ethical codes according to their own actual situations. 3.Scientists should be encouraged to adopt various technical ways to explore the problems in the field of bioethics.Such methods as tissue-engineering,antologous stem-cell replanting and cell diffrenttation inducing may bring about earlier breakthrough than fetus stem-cell.Equal attention,encouragement and support should be given to bioethics.

Objective To investigate the effects of medium-and long-chain fatty acid triacylglycerols on blood lipid in hyperltriacylglycerolemic subjects. Method A case-control clinical trial was carried out,in which 112 subjects with hypertriacylglycerolemia were enrolled and divided into two groups. These two groups were randomized to long-chain fatty acid triacylglycerol oil(LCT) ,and medium-and long-chain fatty acid triacylglycerol oil(MLCT) . All subjects were requested to ingest fixed energy intake and perform physical activity daily during the whole study. Both of the oils were asked to consume at 25-30g daily for consecutive 8w. Anthropometric measurements and blood biochemical variables were measured at the initial and final time of the study. Results Eleven subjects were excluded from the study because of various reasons. There were 50 and 51 subjects left in LCT and MLCT group,respectively. No difference of sex distribution was noted between two groups. There were also no significant differences in daily intake of energy,protein,fat and carbohydrate,as well as daily physical activity time between two groups at 0,2,4,6 and 8w. The subjects consuming MLCT demonstrated significant decreasesin body weight,BMI,WC,HC,WHR,body fat,body fat % compared with the initial values after 8w. A greater extent of decrease in body weight,BMI,WC,body fat and body fat% was found in MLCT group than in LCT group. The levels of TG,ApoB,ApoAII,ApoC2,ApoC3 in MLCT group were significantly lower than those in LCT group after 8 w,and the extent of decrease in these indicators was much greater in the former than in the latter. Conclusion Consumption of medium-and long-chain fatty acid oil may help to reduce body weight,body fat and concentration of blood triacylglycerol and improve apolipoprotein metabolism in hypertriacylgly cerolemic subjects under an appropriate dietary regime.

Objective To compare the effects of oil with medium-long-chain triacylglycerols (MLCT) on lipid metabolism in hypertriglyceridemic patients with different sex. Method One hundred and one subjects with hypertriglyceridemia were enrolled and divided into two groups. One group consumed oil with MLCT (50 subjects) and another group with long-chain fatty acid triglyceride LCT (51 subjects) for 8 w. No sex difference was noted between two groups. All subjects were informed to consume 25-30g oils daily with fixed energy and perform exercise informed. Anthropometric measurements of body weight,waist circumference (WC) body fat weight, total visceral and subcutaneous fat area in abdomen and blood biochemical variables of aspartate amino- transferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glucose, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), ApoB, ApoAⅡ, ApoC2, ApoC3 and ApoE were measured at initial and final time of the experiment. Results The decreases in body weight, BMI, WC, body fat weight, total and subcutaneous fat area, and blood TG, LDL-C, ApoAⅡ, ApoB, ApoC2, ApoC3, ApoE in male subjects consuming MLCT were much greater than those consuming LCT after 8 w. However, there were no significant differences in these parameters in female subjects between two groups. Conclusion Consumption of oil with MLCT reduces body weight, body fat and blood TG and improves apolipoprotein metabolism in male hypertriacylglycerolemic subjects, but not in female.

Objective To explore the sleep characteristics of submariners during a long-term voyage, so as to provide scientific evidence for ensuring submariners with good sleep during long-term voyages. Methods The sleep status of submariners who participated in a long-term voyage was tested by Self-Rating Scale of Sleep (SRSS) before the voyage, and before and after each voyage section during the voyage. The sleep status variation of submariners who performed different types of tasks, from the beginning to the end of each voyage section and of each resting-on-the-sea section was analyzed respectively. Comparison of sleep scores was performed between submariners and surface ship crew in the second voyage section. Numbers of submariners with sleep problem were compared in each voyage section. Results Generally speaking, submariners' sleep status at the end of voyage section was significantly worse than that at the beginning of voyage section and that before the whole voyage (P<0.001, P<0.01), and the sleep status at the beginning of the third voyage section was significantly worse than that before the whole voyage (P<0.05). Submariners had a steady sleep status when taking a resting-on-the-sea before starting their first voyage section, which was no significant difference from that before the whole voyage (P>0.05). After finishing a voyage section and taking a resting-on-the-sea, submariners' sleep status returned to the level of pre-voyage (P>0.05), and was significantly better than that before the resting-on-the-sea (P<0.05, P<0.01). After finishing two voyage sections and then taking a resting-on-the-sea, the submariners' sleep status showed no obvious variation (P>0.05). Compared with that of surface ship crew who accomplished the same voyage section, submariners had an obviously better sleep status after taking a resting-on-the-sea (P<0.05). Meanwhile, submariners who finished a voyage section showed a significantly worse sleep status than those resting on the sea (P<0.01) and surface ship crew who finished a same voyage section (P<0.05). In each voyage section, submariners with sleep problems who finished resting-on-the-sea were significantly less than those who finished navigation (P<0.001, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the number of submariners with sleep problems between those who taking non-resting and taking resting-at-dock after finishing the first voyage section (P>0.05), but the latter was significantly more than the former when the second voyage section was finished (P<0.05). During the resting-on-the-sea period, the numbers of submariners with sleep problems in both the second and the third voyage section were significantly more than those in the first voyage section (P<0.05, P<0.01). The numbers of submariners with sleep problems who implemented the third voyage section were significantly more than those who implemented the first and the second voyage section (P<0.01). Conclusions Generally, the sleep quality of submariners is significantly worse after accomplished a voyage section task, and the degree of sleep problems may be accumulated to worse and worse along with the increase of long-term voyage time. Whereas, submariners may have a significantly better sleep status after taking a resting-on-the-sea, implying that resting-on-the-sea is an effective way to ensure submariners a good sleep during a long-term voyage.

Objective To reconstruct tissue-engineered 3D bronchial model using human bronchial epithelial cells and human embryo lung fibroblast as seeding cells, and liquid collagen mixed Matrigel as scaffold. Methods Human bronchial epithelial cells and human embryo lung fibroblast were mixed with liquid collagen supplementing with matrigel and casted in 12-wells plate to reconstruct cells-collagen sheet. Macroscopic observation, phase-contrast microscopy observation, routine HE staining and immunohistochemistry staining(CK ets) were employed to assess the engineered 3D model. Results We reconstructed engineered 3D bronchial model successfully in vitro by tissue engineering techniques and exerted static stretch onto the collagen sheet. From Macroscopic observation, we gained contracted well sheet. We also observed network structure in phase-contrast microscopy meanwhile the viability of cells was fine. HE staining showed the formation of 3D network structure. The immunohistochemistry staining of CK and Vimentin were positive.Conclusion We reconstructed engineered 3D bronchial model successfully in vitro and seeding cells could implement polarity growing in the scaffold materials then gained the network structure.

ObjectiveTo test and verify whether Ba-alginate-Poly-L-Ornithine-Alginate microcapsules(B-PLO-A) can improve the physical properties and biocompatibility of the traditional BPA microcapsules.MethodsThe B-PLO-A and Ba-alginate-Poly-L-lysine-alginate（B-PLL-A） microcapsules were made by the static generator. The physical property of the microcapsules was evaluated by observing the morphological changes of the microcapsules in the hypotonic environment, changes in diameter of microcapsules in vitro culture and calculating broken microcapsules ratio by shaking method. The biocompatibility was observed by transplanting into peritoneal cavity of rat.ResultsB-PLO-A microcapsules are stronger and more stable in a hypotonic environment than B-PLL-A microcapsules. After 96 h mechanism shaking, the unbroken microcapsules ratio of B-PLO-A and B-PLL-A microcapsules were (99.3±1.0)% and (96.2±1.5)% respectively. The microcapsules were retrieved from peritoneal cavity of rat at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after transplantation, most of the microcapsules were of integrity, rotundity, and surface smooth without obviously bundled by connective tissue. 8 weeks after transplantation the intact microcapsules ratio of B-PLO-A and B-PLL-A microcapsules were (97.3±2.1)% and (95.4±2.4)% respectively.ConclusionB-PLO-A microcapsules as a whole have bettermechanical strength compared with B-PLL-A microcapsules, while maintaining a good biocompatibility.

【Objective】 To study the effect of different concentrations of heparin, ATⅢ or a mixture of heparin and antithrombin Ⅲ (ATⅢ) (1∶1)on the activity of human coagulation factor Ⅸ (FⅨ). 【Methods】 The heparin or heparin/ATⅢ with different concentrations were added into human coagulation Ⅸ products or human prothrombin complex (PCC) to prepare heparin or heparin/ATⅢ samples, containing 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1, 2 and 4 IU per unit. ATⅢ with different concentrations were added into FⅨ or PCC to prepare ATⅢ samples containing ATⅢ 0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1 IU per unit. The FⅨ activity of the samples prepared was tested by one-stage coagulation method. Then corresponding amount of protamine sulfate were added to neutralize heparin or heparin/ATⅢ to detect the FⅨ activity again. Their influence of heparin, ATⅢ and heparin/ATⅢ with different concentrations on the activity of FⅨ were analyzed. 【Results】 When the content of heparin or heparin/ATⅢ was 0, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 IU per unit of FⅨ, the detection results of FⅨ titer in samples were consistent. When the content of heparin or heparin/ATⅢ per unit of FⅨ was 0.8, 1, 2 and 4 IU, the detection results of FⅨ titer were all lower than those of samples without heparin. When the ATⅢ content was 0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1 IU, the FⅨ titer of the samples was consistent. 【Conclution】 When the content of heparin or heparin/ATⅢ in the product is less than or equal to 0.5 IU per IU of FⅨ, the step of protamine sulfate adding could be omitted as it has little effect on FⅨ activity. When >0.5 IU per IU of FⅨ, however, protamine sulfate adding, to neutralize heparin, is necessary before FⅨ activity testing.

【Objective】 To screen the sterilizing-grade filters applicable for production of human coagulation factor Ⅷ/von Willebrand factor complex(FⅧ/VWF)and study the sterilization filtration process. 【Methods】 Four sterilizing-grade filters for FⅧ/VWF were evaluated through indicators such as filtration capacity, filtration flux, recovery rate of FⅧ activity, recovery rate of VWF activity, recovery rate of VWF antigen, recovery rate of protein and VWF molecular distribution. The sterilizing-grade filter with the best filtration performance was selected for further study. The study was designed by general full-factor design to determine the appropriate filitered protein concentration and filitered speed range through evaluating the total filtered protein amount, recovery rate of protein and filtration efficiency, and then the process operation parameters was determined. 【Results】 The filtration flux of Sartobran P, Sartopore 2 XLG, Sartopore Platinum and Sartopore 2 XLI were 1.71±0.01, 1.80±0.01, 1.34±0.01, and 1.81±0.04 L·(m²)^-1·min^-1, respectively; the recovery rates (%) of FⅧ activity were 97.09±2.82, 99.22±0.99, 96.87±1.85 and 93.76±1.21, respectively; the recovery rates (%) of VWF activity were 98.12±1.42, 99.95±1.85, 94.80±1.62 and 92.09±1.67, respectively. Between Sartopore 2 XLG and Sartobran P, the difference of filtration flux (P<0.001) was statistically significant; between Sartopore 2 XLG and Sartopore Platinum, the differences of the filtration flux (P<0.001) and VWF potency recovery rate (P<0.05) were statistically significant; between Sartopore 2 XLG and Sartopore 2 XLI, the differences of FⅧ potency recovery rate (P<0.01) and VWF potency recovery rate (P<0.01) were statistically significant. The optimal process operating space of Sartopore 2 XLG was protein concentration of 0.45-0.58 mg/mL, and filtration rate of 1.48-2.95 L·(m²)^-1·min^-1. 【Conclusion】 Sartopore 2 XLG is the most suitable filter for the production of FⅧ/VWF and the DoE test proves that it has good process operation space.
