3.Should Euthanasia be Legalized?
Chinese Medical Ethics 1994;0(05):-
Although there is a lot of movement for euthanasia legalization after the middle of the 20~(th)century,only Holland and Belgium pass the bill.The reasons include not only that general ethics consensus on euthanasia hasn't been achieved,but also the difficulties of legal definition and systemic arrangement as well as the unhealthy social consequence.To solve the problem,developing the health care system and hospice care is more practical than legalization.

Modern Clinical Nursing 2017;16(7):21-25
Objective To explore the effect of palliative care led by oncology professional nurses in the elderly patients with late tumor. Methods Ninety patients who were diagnosed with late tumor were randomly divided into control group and intervention group. Routine nursing care was conducted in the control group and in the intervention group, palliative care lead by professional nurses was conducted besides the routine nursing care for 8 weeks. The two groups were compared in view of life, symptom distress, and self-efficacy intervention effect. Result The quality of life and self-efficacy were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05) and the symptom distress was significantly lower than that of the control group eight weeks after the intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion The multi-disciplinary intervention led by the oncology professional nurses can improve the quality of life and self-efficacy of the patient and improve the symptoms of the patient.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical value of pleural biopsy in the etiological diagnosis of pleurisy in children.
METHODTotally 213 cases with pleurisy, who underwent pleural biopsy and hospitalized in Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2007 to April 2014 were enrolled into this study. Clinical symptoms, imaging manifestations, pleural fluid characteristics, the results of pleural biopsy and postoperative complications were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate the clinical value and security of pleural biopsy in making the etiological diagnosis of pleurisy.
RESULT(1) Of the 213 cases, 144 were boys and 69 were girls, their mean age was (6. 5 ± 4. 1) years. (2) Two hundred and thirteen patients had a surgical pleural biopsy under general anesthesia, the cause of 97 cases (45. 5%) were made clear by histopathological examination, including 35 purulent pleurisy, 55 tuberculous pleurisy and 7 paragonimus infection. For the remaining 83 (41. 3%) cases a final diagnosis was made based on the full analysis of clinical data, including 63 cases of purulent pleurisy, 3 cases of tuberculous pleurisy and 17 cases of paragonimiasis pleurisy but for 33 patients no exact cause was found at the end. (3) The mean operating time of the biopsy was (1. 4 ± 0. 6) hours. Seventy one (33. 3%) patients required blood transfusion during or after the operation. Thirty one (14. 6%) cases used the ventilator after surgery, and the ventilator supporting time was (6. 6 ± 5. 8) hours on average. The wound healing reached grade A in 200 cases (93. 9%), grade B in 13 cases (14. 6%). Postoperative complications included pneumothorax in 92 cases (43. 2%), subcutaneous emphysema in 18 cases (8. 5%), bronchopleural fistula in 3 cases(1. 4%). The average days of hospitalization was (17. 7 ± 7. 1) d.
CONCLUSIONPleural biopsy is of great diagnostic value in the etiological diagnosis and differential diagnosis of pleurisy in children, and it is considered reasonable to be used in the clinical practice when appropriate.
