1.Exploration on the Ethical Issues of Nanotechnology in Medical Application
Chinese Medical Ethics 2017;30(5):553-555
The nanotechnology has been successfully applied in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and develops rapidly.As a cutting-edge technique,there exist a series of ethical issues when applying nanotechnology in human body,such as risk management,benefit assessment,privacy protection and informed consent.Clinical trials initiated by researchers also face ethical challenges.Therefore,it should study on the ethical issues when using nanotechnology in medicine.To insure the healthy development of nanotechnology in medical application,the regulations and rules should be improved,the assessment of risks and benefits should be strengthened,the ethical review should be reinforced,and the awareness level of the researchers should be enhanced.

Practical Oncology Journal 2015;(3):231-234
Objective To investigate the role of HMGA2 expression and epithelial to mesenchymal cell transformation in the regulation of TGF -β1 in human gastric cancer cells .Methods Human gastric cancer cell SGC-7901 was treated by TGF-β1 at different time points(0,3,6,24,48,72 h).We observed the changes in cell morphology of SGC-7901 through the microscope;HMGA2 assay,E-cadherin,Vimentin protein expression wereperformedbyWesternblot;cellinvasioncapabilitywasanalyzedbytranswellchamberassay.Results (1) With the prolonged duration of action of TGF -β1,SGC-7901 changes in cell morphology ,cells gradually be-came longer and larger.(2)In the role of TGF-β1,gastric cancer cells SGC -7901 are varying degrees of HM-GA2 expression and E -cadherin、Vimentin.HMGA2 protein begun to express from 0h to 6hrs.and HMGA2 pro-tein became the strongest at 6hrs and decreased slightly from 24hrs.E-cad protein expression at 0h begun at 3hrs highest expression ,and the reduction started from 3hrs.Vimentin protein was the highest at 48hrs then gradu-ally decreased.Conclusion In the TGF-β1 induced the process of epithelial to mesenchymal cell transforma-tion in gastric cancer cells SGC -7901 ,HMGA2 protein play an important role .HMGA2 can be used as snail pro-moter,combined with Smads ,promotes the process of epithelial -mesenchymal transformation .HMGA2 may also be regulated by Wnt /β-Catenin signaling pathway on growth and apoptosis of tumor cells .

AIM: To observe the effects of irbesartan and perindopril on pressure-overload cardiac hypertrophy in rats. METHODS: 40 male adult Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups. One was sham operation group, other four were aortic banding groups. One week after operation, all rats were gavaged with normal saline, perindopril, irbesartan or combination of perindopril and irbesartan. Morphometric determination, calcineurin (CaN) expression, CaN and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca 2+-ATPase activity were performed at the end of 6 weeks of drug intervention. RESULTS: Left ventricular mass index (LVMI), transverse diameter of myocardical cell (TDM), CaN activity were remarkably decreased after drug intervention and this decrease was most remarkable in the combination group. SR Ca 2+-ATPase activity increased after drug intervention, especially in the combination group. CaN expression in myocardium were remarkably decreased after drug intervention. LVMI was positively correlated with TDM and CaN, negatively correlated with SR Ca 2+-ATPase. CONCLUSION: Both irbesartan and perindopril decrease CaN activity, increase SR Ca 2+-ATPase activity and combination of them has synergic effects on regressing of ventricular hypertrophy.

This study was aimed to generalize the therapeutic rules in“Bentun qi” disease treatment through data mining, in order to show a general picture of“Bentun qi” disease by ancient physicians. Furthermore, it was aimed to reveal the nature of“Bentun qi” disease. Frequency statistics, factor analysis and association rules wereused to summarize the therapeutic rules of“Bentun qi” disease by data mining of therapeutic rules from ancient prescriptions. And then, the etiology and pathogenesis of“Bentun qi” disease were deduced. The results showed that besidesyang deficiency and cold accumulation, pathogenic fire derived from liver-qi stagnation, and drink dynamic due toyang deficiency,“Bentun qi” disease also had the etiology and pathogenesis ofqi stagnation and blood stasis due to depression of the liver-qi, blood stasis and cold stagnation due toyang deficiency, qi stagnation in the middle-jiao, and centralqi deficiency and so on. In addition, the herbs in these ancient prescriptions also related to five internal organs. It was concluded that based on theNan Jing(The Classic of Difficult Issues) andJin-Gui Yao-Lue(Essentials from the Golden Cabinet), the knowledge of“Bentun qi” disease began to show a diversity trend after theHanDynasty.

Objective To analyze the impact of health service and some other factors on the improvement of health. Methods The production function model introduced by Auster was employed. With the age adjusted mortality taken to be the output of health and factors like health service, life style, living environment, economy, and education taken to be the input, the two-stage least square was used to analyze the impact as well as the degree of the impact of the various factors. Results The impact of health service, the contribution of which to the age adjusted mortality was around 0.37, was greater than that of education but smaller than that of economy. Conclusion The result indicates that health service is an important influencing factor in the improvement of health. Full attention ought to be paid to it so that investment into health, especially public health, will be expanded and the health of the people better protected.
