The use of human biological specimen has great significance to the development of biomedicine. Meanwhile, the powerful electronic data set with sophisticated analytic techniques creates challenge to the protec-tion of private information. As for the research with human biological specimen, how to facilitate the research con-duct on the basis of ethical principles is one of the key considerations when the US Department of Health and Hu-man Service initiated the revision of Code of Federal Regulations ( CFR) -theCommon Rule for subject protec-tion. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ( NPRM) proposed:Respect for autonomy will be enforced by broad con-sent to enforce and waiver of consent intend to be rare;If the research risks only involve privacy protection, review process will be simplified under the premise of ensuring the implementation of privacy laws and other protective measures. The paper introduced the revisions related to the researches using human biological specimen in NPRM, analyzed the terms of broad consent, exemption and exclusion, and explored the elicitation to ethical review prac-tice in China.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of Yangyin Tongluo Pills combined with acupuncture for the treatment of cerebral infarction sequela. Methods One hundred patients with cerebral infarction sequela were evenly randomized into treatment group and control group. The control group was given acupuncture therapy combined with oral use of clopidogrel, and the treatment group was given acupuncture therapy combined with oral use of Yangyin Tongluo Pills (mainly composed of Fructus Lycii, Flos Chrysanthemi, Radix Rehmanniae, Cortex Moutan, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Flos Carthami, Semen Persicae, Pheretima, Rhizoma Gastrodiae, Ramulus Uncariae cum Uncis, Spica Prunellae, Radix Glehniae, Radix Ophiopogonis, Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis, Radix Pseudostellariae) . One month constituted a treatment course, and the treatment covered 2 courses. After treatment, the therapeutic effect of the two groups was evaluated, and the changes of National Institute of Health Stroke Scale ( NIHSS) scores and Barthel Index Scale for activities of daily living ( ADL) , and hemorrheology indexes were observed before and after treatment. Results (1) After treatment for 2 courses, NIHSS scores were decreased, ADL scores were increased in the two groups (P<0.01 compared with those before treatment) , and the improvement of the treatment group was superior to that of the control group ( P<0.01) . ( 2) After treatment, hemorrheology indexes were much improved in the treatment group ( P<0 . 05 or P<0 . 01 ) , but remained unchanged in the control group ( P>0.05) . The treatment group had better effect on improving hemorrheology indexes than the control group (P<0.05) . (3) The total effective rate of the treatment group was 90.00% and that of the control group was 64.00%, the overall therapeutic effect of the treatment group being superior to that of the control group (P<0.05) . Conclusion Yangyin Tongluo Pills combined with acupuncture are effective for the treatment of cerebral infarction sequela, and the effect is superior to that of acupuncture combined with clopidogrel.

Conclusion It was regulation of the variation of serum IL-6, IL-8 ,TNF-α and CRP in perioperative patients with pancreatitis, and tit could provide evidence for the treatment.

Objective: To investigate the combined examination of plasma levels of troponin T (TnT) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) for predicting the risk of peri-operative cardiovascular events in elder coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with non-cardiac surgery. Methods: A total of 200 patients from (60-82) years of age with elective non-cardiac surgery were enrolled. The patients were divided into 2 groups: CAD group,n=118 and Non-CAD group,n=82. Plasma levels of TnT and NT-proBNP were examined at 1 day before and 2 days after the operation respectively. The cardiovascular events were recorded in both groups and the best cut-off values for TnT and NT-proBNP in risk prediction were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Results:①CAD group had the higher levels of post-operative TnT and NT-proBNP than pre-operative; both TnT and NT-proBNP levels were higher in CAD group than those in Non-CAD group at the same time points, allP<0.05.②The total cardiovascular events in CAD group was higher than those in non-CAD group (χ2=5.85,P=0.016) and the individual event was similar between 2 groups.③In CAD group, the best cut-off value for pre-operative TnT in predicting peri-operative cardiovascular events was 18.5 ng/L with the sensitivity at 72% and speciifcity at 69.6%; for NT-proBNP was 98.0 pg/ml with the sensitivity at 90.8% and speciifcity at 74.6%.④The patients with the higher level of pre-operative TnT had the increased risk of total cardiovascular events than those with normal TnT (χ2=4.56,P=0.043), and the same as NT-proBNP (χ2=4.08, P=0.036). Likewise, the patients with higher levels of both pre-operative TnT and NT-proBNP had the increased risk of total cardiovascular events than those with normal TnT and NT-proBNP (χ2=13.32,P=0.000). Conclusion:Either plasma levels of TnT or NT-proBNP could be used as the biomarker for predicting the risk of peri-operative cardiovascular events in elder CAD patients with non-cardiac surgery, the combined examination would have the better predictive value.
