Method: Make stochastic visit to the dwellers in Wuchang district of Wuhan and then study the statistical data. Content: Legal system, sensibility, traditional ideas and public opinions etc. Result: The most notable factors are legal system and sensibility. Conclusion: In order to implement the new law,we should strengthen the dissemination of donation of cadaver.

Objective To observe the effects of lycopene on fibrinolytic activity and nitric oxide in atherosclerosis rabbits. Methods 30 New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into three groups. They were individually housed in metal cages. Throughout the experimental period, they were given restricted amounts of food. Control group was fed with normal diet,model group was fed with 1% cholesterol,10% lard and 89% normal diet, lycopene group was fed with 1% cholesterol,10% lard and normal diet plus 6% lycopene.At the time of the first day and the 8th week, blood samples were drawn from ear edge vein of rabbits. The activity and content of plashaa tissue type plasminogen activator(t-PA)and plasminogen activator inhibitor(PAI-1)were detected. The levels of serum Nitric oxide (NO)were determined.At the end of the study, the plaque areas were measured. SPSS 10.0 software was used to evaluate the differences among the three groups. Results Compared with control group, atherosclerosis rabbits had lower content and activity of t-PA, higher content and activity of PAI-1 and lower content of NO. Compared with model group, lycopene group had no significant difference about the content and activity of tPA and PAI-1.But lycopen increased the levels of serum NO, significantly diminished the area of lipid plaque. Conclusions The experimental results suggested that lycopene had antiatherogenic effects. The possible mechanisms might be that lycopene could decrease lipid peroxidation injure, maintain the concentration of NO and protect vascular endothelium. The antiatherogenic effects of lycopene had no correlation with the fibrinolytic activity.

【Objective】 To observe the clinical effects of syringo-pleural shunt as a supplementary in the treatment of syringomyelia. 【Methods】 Eleven patients with syringomyelia were treated with syringo-pleural shunt from December 2017 to December 2019. Tator’s postoperative evaluation standard was used to determine the clinical effects of improvement of clinical symptoms. MRI and the Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score were used to evaluate the improvement of syringomyelia and neurological function. 【Results】 After 3 months, 6 months and 12 months of follow-up, the clinical symptoms and JOA score improved in 10 cases, and 1 case had no improvement and developed severe pleural effusion. MRI showed that syringomyelia was significantly improved in 10 cases, and there was no improvement in 1 case. 【Conclusion】 Syringo-pleural shunt is a safe, direct and effective supplementary treatment method for patients with syringomyelia.
