Through learning philosophy,human beings can overcome the fear of death and gain the wisdom of life.With the rapid development of modem high-tech,some people advocate to pursue the immortality of individual life using science and technology.This is the most restless thoughts,originating from the false belief of dogmatic rationalism:with the development of science and technology,human beings are possible to fully grasp the mysteries of the nature (including human body).In fact,nature as well as human body is always hidden in infinite mystery.The pursuit of immortality is from the pursuit of meaning.Setting up morality,making contribution,and achieving glory by writing are the legitimate ways for human beings to pursuit immortality as cultural animals.One just can pursue immortality in the cultural sense,but cannot pursue the immortality of individual life.

Objective: To explore health resource allocation and optimization and evaluate the clinical departments efficiency in hospital. Methods: Taking a three level of first-class hospital in Beijing for example, the method of data envelopment analysis (DEA) was used for building a DEA model of clinical departments efficiency in hospital. Results: Based on the results of the DEA model, we drawn the technical efficiency and scale efficiency of the target clinical departments, obtained input redundancy rates and output deficiency rates of the non-effective decision-making units. Conclusion:By DEA evaluation results, the input redundancy and output deficiency of the target clinical departments are found. From the perspective of optimizing hospital resource allocation, measures to improve the hospital operational performance are proposed. There is important significance to improve the comprehensive competitiveness of the hospital.

Objective To evaluate the clinical results of phacoemulsification combined with pars plana vitrectomy for eyes with cataract and proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Design Non-controlled retrospective case series study. Participants 123 eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and cataract. Methods Phacoemulsification,posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation combined with pars plana vitrectomy were done in 123 eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and cataract. Postoperative vision,number of secondary procedures and surgical complications were analyzed. Main Outcome Measures Postoperative visual improvement and associated complications. Results All 123 eyes underwent combined surgery. The average follow-up was 10 months. 99 eyes (81%) experienced postoperative vision improvement of varying degrees. Vision improved by 2 lines or more in 93 eyes (76%). No apparent corneal edema or corneal decompensation were encountered. One patient with type 1 diabetes developed neovascular glaucoma 6 months after surgery. Retinal detachment occurred in 1 eye and reoperated. Vitreous hemorrhage requiring secondary procedure happened in 4 eyes. All 24 eyes (19%) without vision improvement were found to be with diabetic maculopathy. Conclusions Phacoemulsification combined with pars plana vitrectomy can be used as an effective surgical tool to improve visions in patients with PDR and cataract. Diabetic maculopathy is the major cause of poor visual improvement. (Ophthalmol CHN ,2006,15: 198-201)

Recent studies about the GCT are focusing on searching for new standards and indexes to prognose the biological behavior of the GCT because of the traditional standards and indexes have been realized often not agree with to the clinic. we review the lately research about the biological behavior of the GCT, then analyse and sum up the correlative indexes that could be significant in studying the prognosis of the GCT.

Objective To introduce the development of an adjustable and bed- type table for pleural puncture and observe its clinical effect. Methods 100 patients who were to undergo pleural puncture were divided into the experimental group and the control group with 50 cases in each group.The experimen-tal group adopted the adjustable and bed-type table for pleural puncture, while the control group used the conventional method.The pulse,respiration and artery blood oxygen saturation degree were observed. The ef-feet of puncture was also compared. Results The pulse and respiration increased and the artery blood oxygen saturation degree decreased after puncture,which were significantly different between the two groups. One- time success rate of puncture,comfort degree and satisfaction degree of patients in the experimental group were better than those of the control group. Conclusions Adjustable and bed- type table for pleu-ral puncture can reduce the uncomfort of patients and increase the success rate of puncture and satisfaction degree of patients.

Objective To explore the causes and surgical management of acute gangrenous cholecvstitis(AGC)after endoscopic sphincterotomy(EST).Methods Clinical and pathological data of 1066 patients who underwent EST from June 2003 to January 2007 were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsAGC was complicated in 16 patients(16/1066,1.5%),who underwent emergency operations and no death occurred.During the follow-up period of 4 to 36 months,no infection or obstruction was found.Conclusion Difficuitv in EST manipulation and biliary obstrucion might play a leading role in AGC after EST,and early surgical intervention is effective.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of montelukast combined with budesonide in the treatment of children with asthma. Methods 70 cases of children with asthma were randomly divided into group A and group B, included 35 cases in each group. Group A was treated with single budesonide and Group B was given montelukast combined with budesonide. The clinical efficacy of two groups of asthma was compared, the body temperature returned to normal time, the time of wheezing disappeared, the normal time of the laboratory index, the normal time of the chest radiograph, the inflammatory factors and the lung function indexes and the side effects. Results The clinical curative effect of group B was higher than that of group A(P<0.05); Body temperature in group B returned to normal time, the time of wheezing disappeared, the normal time of laboratory index was shorter than that of group A(P<0.05); Inflammatory factors and lung function were similar. After intervention, the inflammatory factors and lung function of group B were better than those of group A(P<0.05). There were no obvious side effects in the two groups. Conclusion The clinical efficacy and safety of montelukast combined with budesonide in the treatment of children with asthma can improve the symptoms of children, cause the symptoms to recite in a short time, reduce the inflammatory factors, improve lung function, no obvious adverse reactions, safety effective.
