We experienced women's helpless plight of domestic violence and extramarital affairs through the data of survey and case records in Women's Federation.Women in modern society are still experiencing domestic violence from their husbands' abuse and spiritual betrayal that often can't be solved in time.All these cases fully reflected neglect of females and unfair treatment to women from social systems.According to the analysis based on realities,the above hurt women encountered in their lives goes against basic bioethical principles.Not only sufficient attention but also legal measures are required to promote the harmonious development of society.

AIM: To study effect of the Bushen Ningxin decoction, a Chinese medicine, on the adherence of monocytes to endothelial cells and its mechanism. METHODS: Using cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) as target cells, oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) was added to the endothelial cell culture to prepare the model of human endothelial cell injury. The serum of rabbits having been treated with Bushen Ningxin decoction was added to trial architecture, the adherence of monocyte-like cell line U937 to HUVECs was analyzed using Rose Bengal staining. In addition, the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(VCAM-1) and E-selectin in HUVECs was measured by flow cytometry. RESULTS: Treatment of HUVEC with ox-LDL (100 mg/L) for 24 hours significantly increased adhesion of U937 to HUVECs. If serum of the animal treated with Bushen Ningxin decoction was added to trial architecture, the adhesion decreased significantly. The flow cytometry analysis showed that ox-LDL could induce the expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selectin in HUVECs. Serum of the animal treated with Bushen Ningxin decoction significantly decreased the expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selectin in HUVECs. CONCLUSION: The Bushen Ningxin Chinese herb-containing serum has an inhibitory effect on the adherence of monocytes to endothelial cells, probably by way of down-regulating the expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E -selectin in endothelial cells.

OBJECTIVETo study the effects of Bushen Ningxin recipe (BNR) on atherosclerosis in ovariectomized rabbits.
METHODSTwenty-six female New Zealand white rabbits of three months old were randomly divided into four groups, the normal group, the sham operation group, the control group (ovariectomized) and the treated group (ovariectomized and treated with BNR). All rabbits, except the normal group, were fed with high-cholesterol diet starting from two weeks after operation, and to the treated group BNR was given additionally for 3 months. Levels of blood lipid (TC, TG, LDL-C and HDL-C) and NO were measured at the end of the 12th week, and at the same time, histomorphological and pathological examination of aorta under light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and the ratio of atherosclerotic area of lesion/endothelium ratio (AL/AE) and thickness of endothelium/medium ratio (TE/TM) were estimated using image analyzer.
RESULTSNo significant difference was found in levels of blood lipid between groups, except those in the normal group. As compared with the control group, in the treated group, level of serum NO was higher, AL/AE and TE/TM were lower and the pathological changes of aorta was milder.
CONCLUSIONBNR could inhibit the atherosclerosis formation in ovariectomized rabbits, it showed protection on vascular endothelial cells.

Objective:To analyze the distribution of clinically isolated fungal strains and their resistance to common antifungal drugs in Shandong province.Methods:Through the Shandong Children’s Bacterial & Fungal Drug Resistance Surveillance and Research Collaborative Network, a total of 1 030 fungi were collected in 46 hospitals of Shandong province from January 1 to December 31, 2018. The source and type of strains were analyzed, and antifungal drug sensitivity tests were performed by using the micro-dilution method. Whonet 5.6 and SPSS 22.0 were applied to analyze the data.Results:The overall main strains were Candida albicans (38.74%, 399/1 030), Candida tropicalis (16.99%, 175/1 030) and Candida parapsilosis (16.41%, 169/1 030); the main fungi strains in child patients were C. albicans (52.50%, 63/120), C. parapsilosis (12.50%, 15/120) and C. tropicalis (9.17%, 11/120); the main fungi strains in adult patients were C. albicans (36.37%, 331/910), C. tropicalis (17.03%, 155/910) and C. parapsilosis (15.27%, 139/910). The isolation rate of main Candida strains from January to March and August to December was much higher than that of other months. The drug resistance rates of C. albicans to fluconazole and voriconazole were 7.14% and 7.43%, respectively, and the drug resistance rates to itraconazole were 50.44%. The resistance rates of C. tropicalis to fluconazole, voriconazole and itraconazole were 29.05%, 23.29% and 48.65%, respectively. The sensitivity rates of C. parapsilosi to fluconazole, voriconazole and itraconazole were 93.06%, 93.75% and 94.44%, respectively. Candida glabrata showed a dose-dependent sensitivity rate of 2.33% to fluconazole. Analysis of 244 blood fungi strains showed that non-candida albicans bacteremia accounted for 70.08%. In the pathogen spectrum covering 92.22%, fluconazole was sensitive to 64.65% of the pathogens, voriconazole was 68.88%, and amphotericin B was 88.75%. After quantification, the effective rates of fluconazole, voriconazole and amphotericin B in the clinical treatment of fungal bacteremia were 70.10%, 74.69% and 96.23%, respectively. Among them, the sensitivity rate of voriconazole to C. tropicalis was lower than that of fluconazole. Conclusions:Candida is the main clinical fungus isolates in hospitals of Shandong province. The resistance rate of C. tropicalis to azole antifungal drugs is on the rise, and the sensitivity of other Candida species to clinically used antifungal drugs is basically stable.
