1.Mutual Benefit and Win-win:the Economic Ethical Basis of Harmonious Physician-patient Relationship
Chinese Medical Ethics 1994;0(06):-
It was undoubted that doctor-patient relationship was becoming more and more worse,and this condition lead the doctors,patients,governments feel ve ry awkward.Every related side would be Faliures.Nowadays,the tensional doctor patient relationsh i p is a result of improper value choice and institutional arrangement in the back ground of market economy and high technology development.Building a harmonious doctor patient relationship and become double win is a key issue to affect medical service.It needs government,hospital,doctor and patient to work together.Therefore,we should promote the harmony of doctor-patient relationship in the respects of value choice and institutional arrangement.The action of benefiting others at the medical market includes benefiting for others unselfish and benefiting for others for self under the condition of market economy.Seeking patients' interests even at the expense of the professionals' own interests is the most essential moral criterion and professional obligation.

INTRODUCTION:
In recent years, () has emerged as the predominant cause of pyogenic liver abscess in Asia. - as the causative microorganism in other visceral organ abscesses-is less described. In this study, we seeked to describe the clinical characteristics of visceral organ abscesses in our institution and evaluated the prescription practices of physicians with regard to antibiotic therapy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A retrospective analysis of patients with culture positive (blood or abscess aspirate) visceral organ abscesses from May 2014 to April 2016 requiring hospitalisation in Changi General Hospital was conducted.
RESULTS:
A total of 140 adult patients with visceral organ abscesses were identified. The commonest site of involvement was the liver (77.9%), followed by genitourinary tract (20.7%). Diabetic patients were more likely to have liver abscesses, genitourinary abscesses, abscesses in 2 or more organs, genitourinary disease with abscess formation outside of the genitourinary tract, and endovascular infection. Patients with extended spectrum beta-lactamase producing , were more likely to have an obstructive lesion related to the site of the abscess. Overall mortality rate was 7.1%. Amongst survivors, the mean total duration of parenteral antimicrobial therapy was 2.5 weeks before switching to oral antimicrobial agents.
CONCLUSION
Genitourinary tract is the commonest extra-hepatic site for visceral organ abscess in infections. Parenteral to oral switch of antimicrobial agents appears to be a safe and effective treatment option.

Objective To investigate the effect of different enteral nutrition (EN) preparations on nutritional status and glucose metabolism in elderly heart failure (HF) patients. Methods Eighty-two elderly HF patients were consecutively admitted to Taizhou Enze Medical Center Group Enze Hospital from January 2017 to March 2018, and they were randomly divided into a study group and a control group, each group with 41 cases. The basic treatments were the same in two groups, while the patients in study group were treated with TPF-D emulsion, and those of control group were treated with SP emulsion. Nutritional status [serum albumin (Alb), proalbumin (PA) and transferrin (TF)], glucose metabolism indexes (glucose, Betatrophin and insulin dose), cardiac function [N-terminal B-type pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)], high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in serum were compared between two groups after treatment, and the incidences of adverse reactions (gastric retention, diarrhea, constipation, electrolyte abnormality, pulmonary infection, dysfunction of liver) were also observed in the two groups. Results In the aspect of nutrition, no statistical significant differences in indexes were found at each time point between the two groups during the therapeutic course (all P > 0.05). In terms of glucose metabolism, the blood glucose levels in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group on day 5 and day 7 after treatment (mmol/L: 9.73±3.69 vs. 11.56±3.78 on day 5, 8.35±2.17 vs. 10.41±2.38 on day 7, both P < 0.05); the serum Betatrophin levels in the study group were also significantly lower than those in the control group on 5 days and 7 days (μg/L: 5 days was 1.36±0.49 vs. 1.89±0.74, 7 days was 1.31±0.47 vs. 1.62±0.59, both P < 0.05); the doses of insulin used in the study group were obviously lower than those in the control group on 3, 5 and 7 days (U: 3 days was 37.86±8.49 vs. 47.84±10.33, 5 days was 29.33±7.45 vs. 38.56±9.69, 7 days was 13.35±8.56 vs. 28.49±9.77, all P < 0.05). In terms of cardiac function, the study group showed significant lower NT-proBNP levels on 3, 5 and 7 days (μg/L: 3 days was 5.8±0.8 vs. 6.2±1.0, 5 days was 3.7±0.7 vs. 4.4±0.9, 7 days was 1.9±0.5 vs. 3.1±0.7, all P <0.05]; significant higher level of LVEF in study group on 7 days (0.50±0.02 vs. 0.48±0.03, P < 0.05) and significant lower hs-CRP levels in study group on 5 days and 7 days (μg/L: 5 days was 27.12±10.58 vs. 34.41±12.69, 7 days was 15.33±9.87 vs. 22.71±11.45, both P < 0.05). In addition, compared with the control group, the incidence of gastric retention [17.07% (7/41) vs. 36.59% (15/41)], so of diarrhea [14.63% (6/41) vs. 34.15% (14/41)] and of electrolyte abnormalities [14.63% (6/41) vs. 39.02% (16/41)] were significantly lower in study group than those in the control group (all P <0.05). Conclusion Compared with SP, TPF-D not only can effectively improve the nutritional status, but also can superiorly control blood glucose, improve cardiac function and lower the incidence of adverse reactions in elderly HF patients.

To conduct genetic analysis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma tissues and analyze the correlation between targeted microRNA (miRNA) and pathways in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
Methods: We collected 19 samples of peripheral venous blood serum from patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in Hainan Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine, and also collected 21 blood serum samples as a control group of non-pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. We used the bioinformatics analysis of literature GCBI data platform for screening and analyzing the genetics of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma samples. Through GCBI data platform of hierarchy clustering analysis and the enrichment of gene function analysis, the relevant miRNA was screened as a research object in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The miRNA was screened by literature analysis and pancreatic cancer gene analysis. Real-time PCR and Western blotting were carried out to study the relationship between the selected miRNA and TGF-β1 by overexpression and suppression of the gene in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells.
Results: MiRNA-21 was screened as a gene associated with pancreatic ductal carcinoma via hierarchy clustering analysis and gene function analysis. MiRNA-21 was highly expressed in the pancreatic ductal carcinoma patients. Expressions of TGF-β1 were inhibired in miRNA-21 overexpressed PANC-1. While the expression of miRNA-21 was inhibited, TGF-β1 expression increased obviously.
Conclusion: MiRNA-21 is highly expressed in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, can regulate the expression of TGF-β1, which may be a mechanism of miRNA-21 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

BACKGROUNDThe high blood homocysteine (Hcy) levels found in patients with hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) have been implicated in an increased risk of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This study investigated the association of HHcy with progression of IgA nephropathy.
METHODSWe analyzed 108 participants newly diagnosed with IgA nephropathy between August 2005 and August 2007 in the Department of Nephrology, Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital. The association between clinicopathological factors and the Hcy levels were analyzed by Logistic regression and those with ESRD risk were analyzed by Cox regression.
RESULTSPatients were aged (35.71 ± 10.73) years and included 45.71% women and 12.04% patients with HHcy. In multivariate Logistic regression analysis, HHcy was associated with arterial lesions (OR 2.60; 95% CI 1.55 ± 4.34; P < 0.001) even when age, body mass index, estimated glomerular filtration rate, mean arterial pressure, and initial proteinuria were taken into account. Mean follow-up was (67.37 ± 16.21) months. HHcy was also associated with worse ESRD-free survival (HR 4.71; 95% CI 1.45 to 15.31; P = 0.010).
CONCLUSIONHHcy is associated with the risk of intrarenal arterial lesions and may be useful for estimating the prognosis of IgA nephropathy.
