The hospitalpice enterprise has developed vigorously in China ever since 1980s.However,influenced by the long history and traditional Chinese culture,there are some ethical dilemmas in the issues of choice of death and palliative treatment.Choice of death and palliative treatment for the dying patients have been restricted by the traditional Chinese philosophy of death,traditional principles of filial piety,and the absence of support from euthanasia legislation.It is suggested that during the introduction of hospitalpice into china,the traditional Chinese value be respected.Meanwhile,people's cognition of hospitalpice should also be shifted to decrease the constraint of traditional ideas.The whole social power should be united and professional regulation construction should also be strengthened.Besides,it is also important to improve training for related professionals,promote the process of hospitalpice legislation as well as go abide by the current laws in order to achieve a high-quality hospitalpice.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and plausible mechanisms of attention network impairments in hyperthyroid patients.Methods 34 hypertyroid patients and 33 normal controls performed the attention network test (ANT),which was used for assessing three components of attentional networks including alerting,orienting,and executive control.Results The mean scores for alerting and orienting networks were significantly shorter (P ＜ 0.01) in hyperthyroid patients (respectively,(20.00 ± 22.47) ms,(35.26 ± 22.65) ms)than those in normal controls (respectively,(35.70 ± 17.62) ms,(50.61 ± 23.66) ms).The mean reaction time for executive control network was significantly longer(P ＜ 0.01) in hyperthyroid patients((116.71 ± 40.36)ms)than those in controls ((93.00 ± 29.34)ms).Triiodothyronine(T3) and thyroxine(T4) were positively correlated with the scores for executive control network (respectively,r=0.350,P＜ 0.05; r=0.417,P＜ 0.05) in hyperthyroid patients,whereas no relationship was found between thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH) and the value of executive control network.T3,T4 and TSH were not correlated with the value of alerting and orienting network in hyperthyroid patients.Conclusion Hypertyroid patients have extensive impairments in various kinds of attentional network,rather than a specific deficit.The recession of executive control network accompanies with enhancement of serum levels of T3,T4 in hyperthyroid patients.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of topical corticosteroids injection and systemic application in the treatment of sudden hearing loss.Methods Total of 58 patients with sudden hearing loss were ran-domly divided into two groups.The systemic application group:dexamethasone (DEX)was applied by intravenous injection in dose of 10mg ×3d,followed by 5mg ×4d.And the postauricular injection group:methylprednisolone sodium succinate of 40mg was injected into cortical bone of mastoid region every three days,until hearing back to normal,or 15 days.SPSS 13.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results The total effective rate of systemic application group was 67.7%,the total effective rate of postauricular injection group was 64.7%.There was no statistical differ-ence between the two groups (χ2 =2.58,P =0.316).The recovery rate in cases with postauricular injection group was significantly increased in comparison with the systemic application group,but no statistical difference between the two groups(t =2.71,P =0.062).Patients with hearing loss in low frequencies(250Hz,500Hz),the recovery rate in cases with postauricular injection group was significantly increased in comparison with the systemic application group (t =3.82,P =0.031;t =3.26,P =0.042).Conclusion Postauricular topical injection and systemic application of glucocorticoids in the treatment of sudden hearing loss are all have good curative effect.Systemic application is select-ed by conventional treatment,and topical injection has a better effect in the hearing loss of low -middle frequencies.

Objective To evaluate the effect of Chinese gentian extracts on the proliferation of,apoptosis and phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in HaCaT cells induced by epidermal growth factor (EGF).Methods Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was performed to evaluate the proliferation of HaCaT cells pretreated with EGF of 20 μg/L for 24 hours followed by 24 hours of treatment with various concentrations of Chinese gentian extracts.Flow cytometry was carried out to detect apoptosis in HaCaT cells pretreated with EGF of 20 μg/L for 24 hours followed by 4 hours of treatment with different concentrations of Chinese gentian extracts.Western blot was conducted to measure the level of phosphorylated EGFR in HaCaT cells treated with different concentrations of Chinese gentian extracts for 24 hours followed by treatment with EGF of 20 μg/L for 10 minutes.Results Chinese gentian extracts inhibited the proliferation (r =-0.991,P ＜ 0.01),but promoted the apoptosis (r =0.996,P ＜ 0.05) of HaCaT cells induced by EGF in a dose-dependent manner.At the same time,the extracts suppressed the phosphorylation of EGFR in HaCaT cells induced by EGF,and the suppressing effect increased with the rise in the concentration of the extracts.Conclusions Chinese gentian may inhibit the proliferation,but promote the apoptosis of keratinocytes by decreasing EGFR phosphorylation and blocking relevant intracellular signaling pathways.

Objective To explore the role of 256 CT iterative reconstruction in improving image quality and reducing radiation dose of carotid artery into cranial segment.Methods Sixty patients underwent head and neck CTA on a 256 CT scanner.Conventional dose scanning was performed in 30 patients using a filtered back projection (FBP) reconstruction (group A) and iterative iDose4 reconstruction (group B).Low dose scanning was performed in the other 30 patients using FBP reconstruction (group C) and iDose4 reconstruction (group D).The noise,SNR,CNR,score of image quality and effective radiation dose were evaluated in four groups.One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the image quality index between groups.Independent sample of Kruskal-Wallis test of ranked data was used to compare image quality score between groups.Paired t test was used to compare the effective radiation doses between the low dose group and conventional dose group.Results The image noise of four groups were 8.21 ±0.88,7.31 ± 0.33,11.17 ± 2.02 and 6.50 ± 0.49 respectively.SNR were 43.21 ± 4.49,5 1.83 ± 3.64,42.88 ± 9.19 and 53.47 ± 4.88,respectively.CNR were 37.88 ± 4.02,61.21 ± 6.31,36.63 ± 8.20 and 62.99 ±5.90,respectively.There were statistic differences (F =112.786,97.041 and 86.098,P ＜0.01).The differences of image noise between group A and B had no statistic significance,which was statistic different between group A and C (P ＜ 0.01).Except that the differences of SNR and CNR between group A and C,B and D had no statistic significance,the differences between other two groups had statistic significance (P ＜ 0.01).In case of image quality score of 1,2 and 3,there were 2,13 and 15 patients in group A; 0,7 and 23 patients in group B; 5,15 and 10 patients in group C; and 0,5 and 25 patients in group D.There was statistic differences of image quality score between each group (H =22.575,P ＜0.01).The effective radiation dose was (2.31 ±0.13) mSv in conventional dose group and (0.84 ±0.04) mSv in low dose group.There was statistic difference between the two groups (t =60.682,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Compared with conventional dose,iDose4 iterative reconstruction algorithms can obtain excellent images of CTA for carotid artery into the cranial segment with more than 50％ radiation dose decrease.
