1.On Military Officers′ Ethical Responsibility and Ethics Construction
Chinese Medical Ethics 1996;0(01):-
Through all times and around the world,those who discipline themselves with high ethical standards can be regarded as truly noble men successfully taking advantage of moral authority of the people.Books on the art of war in ancient China raised a couple of ethical requirements for those superior military officers and governors.If officers want to affect his men′s mental state and generate the army′s spirit of combat effectiveness,they must assume a certain degree of ethical responsibility.Also,active share of ethical responsibility calls to take the initiative to develop a sense of ethical responsibility.Furthermore,to develop a sense of ethical responsibility calls for the building of ethical self-consciousness to participate in the training of ethical responsibility.However,the participation of ethical building consciousness can not be separated from the ethical sense of responsibility.In conclusion,each part of the three links,complementing each other,can not be biased and separated.

Objective To design and prepare recombinant mutant human high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1s) that can combine with HMGB1 receptors but cannot produce inflammatory effect, and accordingly lead to the creation of a new potential agent for anti-inflammatory therapy. Methods This experiment was based on successful clone and expression of human HMGB1.Six mutant HMGB1 cDNA were designed and constructed by one step inverse PCR. They were cloned into prokaryotic expressive vector pQE80L and followed with production of mutant HMGB1s and identification by Western blotting. Results Six mutant proteins were designed and constructed into prokaryotic expressive vector pQE80L. The recombinant HMGB1 proteins were obtained and identified by Western blotting. Conclusion Human HMGB1 mutants have been successfully constructed and the expression and characterization of intent proteins are identified. It will lay a foundation for further study on biological functions of HMGB1.

Objective To explore the efficacy of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods The literature about HRT in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis were searched.Eleven papers were subjected to a Meta-analysis and a heterogeneity test was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of HRT.Results HRT reduced the level of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in RA patients (P=0.016),the SMD was-0.22(-0.40,-0.04); improved bone mineral density (BMD) in RA patients (P=0.022),the WMD was 2.83(0.41,5.26); decreased clinical parameters for disease activity evaluations of RA patients (P=0.048),the SMD was-0.19 (-0.38,0.00); decreased the level of C-reactive protein (CRP) in RA patients,the SMD was-0.08 (-0.37,0.21),but the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.591).Conclusion The findings from this Meta-analysis indicate that HRT can reduce the ESR level,improve clinical indexes and improve BMD level of RA patients.HRT may suppress disease activity and osteoporosis of RA patients,so it may be used as an auxiliary therapy in the treatment of RA.

Objective To explore the function of autonomic nerves system in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) combined with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). Methods Fifty children having PSVT and no CHD (PSVT group), 30 children with both PSVT and CHD (CHD group), and 50 cases of healthy children (control group) were selected. The difference of 24-hour heart rate variability (HRV) among three groups was analyzed retrospectively. Results There were statistical differences in the long-range time domain HRV indexes, including SDNN, SDANN, SDNN Index, pNN 50 , and RMSSD among three groups (F=80.32-?263.18, P all?0.01). The SDNN, pNN50, and RMSSD in PSVT group were significantly decreased compared with control group (P all?0 . 05 ), and the SDANN and SDNN Index in PSVT group were decreased but the difference was not statistically significant compared with control group (P all?>?0.05). The SDNN, SDANN, SDNN Index, pNN50, and RMSSD were signiifcantly decreased in CHD group compared with PSVT group (P all?0 . 05 ). Conclusions Children with PSVT have the imbalanced autonomic nerves system which mainly manifests as decreased vagal function, and, if combined with CHD, have the increase of sympathetic nerve tension.

Objective To investigate the effect of one-lung ventilation (OLV) on the occurrence of subcutanous emphysema during retroperitoneal laparoscopic urologic surgery (RPLUS).Methods Twenty-seven ASA Ⅰor Ⅱ patients,aged 29-64 yr,with body mass index 19-25 kg/m2,scheduled for elective RPLUS,were randomly divided into 2 groups:two-lung ventilation (TLV) group (group Ⅰ,n =15) and OLV group (group Ⅱ,n =12).In group Ⅰ,the patients were tracheal intubated and TLV was performed.In group Ⅱ,the left-sided double lumen endobronchial tube was inserted and TLV was performed,OLV on the non-operated side was performed starting from 10-15 min before pneumoperitoneum and TLV resumed at the end of pneumoperitoneum.The end-tidal CO2 partial pressure and minute ventilation volume were measured before pneumoperitoneum (T1),at 30 and 60 min of pneumoperitoneum (T2,3),and at 30 min after the end of pneumoperitoneum (T4).The CO2 absorption capacity was calculated.The degree of pneumoderma was assessed and the occurance of pneumoderma was recorded at the end of pneumoperitoneum.Results Compared with group Ⅰ,the CO2 absorption capacity was significantly reduced,and the degree and incidence of pneumoderma were significantly decreased in group Ⅱ (P < 0.05).Conclusion OLV on the non-operated side can reduce the CO2 absorption capacity,decrease the degree of subcutaneous emphysema and reduce the occurrence of subcutanous emphysema during pneumoperitoneum in patients undergoing RPLUS.

Objective To review the clinical manifestation,pathological characteristics,treat ment and prognosis of malignant mesothelioma of the tuniea vaginalis testis.Methods A case of ma lignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis was reported and relative literature was reviewed.A34 year old man was admitted to hospital with a history of aggravated hydroeele for 5 years.A hardtumor was palpated above the right testis,which was smooth and slight tenderness.The level of β-hCG and AFP was normal.Ultrasonography revealed a 2.05 cm× 1.97 cm,well demarcated,mixedecho tumor.Results An operation was performed to incise the tumor and tunica vaginalis undersubarachnoid space block anesthesia.The tumor was histologically diagnosed as low potential malig nant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis.Microscopic examination showed that the tumor wasmalignant with a biphasic pattern composed of epithelial and stromal components.The former compo nent was dominant.The epithelial cells proliferated obviously with atypia and mitosis.Immunohisto chemical staining showed cytokeratin and vimentin were strongly positive.The capillary,lymph ves sel,spermatic cord and testis were not infiltrated.Right radical orchiectomy and right scrotectomywas performed one month after the first operation.There was no evidence of relapse during 38 monthfollow up after operation.Conclusions The major symptom of patients with malignant mesotheliomais hydrocele,malignant mesothelioma is diagnosed by histopathology.Due to the invasive potential ofthis disease and the risk of tumor recurrence,radical orchiectomy and close follow up are strongly rec ommended.

ObjectiveTo explore the role of ERK1/2 in the expression of the type-1 plasminogen activator inhibitor(PAI-1) induced by parathonnone (PTH) in human renal tubular epithelial cell line HK-2 cells.MethodsVarious concentrentions of PTH and manifold durations were applied in the test.The expression of PAI-1 mRNA and protein in HK-2 cells was measured by RT-PCR and Western blotting,respectively.Besides,ERK1/2 protein was detected by Western blotting before the ERK1/2 inhibitor incubated with the HK-2 cells or after.Results The expression of PAI-1mRNA and protein was gradually up-regulatad along with the increasing concentrations of PTH(10-12-10-10 mol/L).The maximum level of PAI-1 mRNA and protein was detected in 10-10 mol/L PTH and was 4.01 and 3.81 times of control group.Otherwise,the decreased expression of PAI-1 was found while the concentrations of PTH were beyond 10-10 mol/L.The levels of PAI-1 mRNA and protein were increased in pace withtime from 12 to 72 hour,in time-dependent manner,which was 4.06 (12 h) and 4.03 (72 h) times of 0 hour group.The levels of ERK1/2 and PAI-1 were ascended after 10-10 mol/L PTH incubated with the HK-2 cells (all P<0.01).Howerver,both of them decended after cells were pretreated by the ERK1/2 inhibitor (all P<0.01),but were still higher than those of control group(all P<0.05).ConclusionERK1/2 kinase system partly participates in the regulation of PAI-1 induced by PTH in HK-2 cells.
