Chinese Medical Ethics 1995;0(03):-
The forepassed socialized medicine system for urban workers has many ethical faults. The institutional reform on the social medical insurance for urban workers will readjust the relationships between government, hospitals, employers and patients. It means much to ethics, and impulses the basic health service towards self-determination, duty and justice. But it has some problems about the responsibility of government,the sanction of hospitals and the burden of patients. At last,the paper offers some suggestions for improvement.

6.Development in the study of the correlation between stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase 1 and cancer progression
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2014;(17):1131-1134
The curative effect of chemotherapy in malignant tumors has been unsatisfactory because of drug resistance and the toxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs. Extensive studies on the metabolism of tumor cells have been undertaken to determine a novel se-lective antitumor drug. An increasing number of studies have demonstrated the close relation between the malignant behavior of tumor tissues and their specialized energy metabolism. Hyper-lipogenesis is one of the metabolic characteristics of the rapid proliferation of tu-mor cells. Stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase 1 (SCD1) is a critical enzyme in fatty acid synthesis because it catalyzes the conversion of saturated fatty acids into monounsaturated fatty acids. This enzyme is closely related to obesity, fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, and a series of metabolic syndromes. It is also involved in the occurrence and progression of cancer. Determining the function of SCD1 in malignant tumors would provide a new therapeutic target in chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of surgical treatment of myocardial bridge. Methods Fifteen patients with myocardial bridge had been treated in our hospital from January 1999 to October 2006. Thirteen patients who had typical angina had been treated regularly by medication, but their symptom remission was not satisfactory. One patient suffered from acute myocardial infarction, and another 1 patient complained of palpitation and syncope. All the patients were given surgical treatment. Surgical strategies included minimally invasive off-pump surgery in 9 patients (supraarterial myotomy in 3 patients, coronary artery bypass grafting in 2, and coronary artery bypass grafting with supraarterial myotomy in 4) and on-pump surgery in 6 patients (coronary artery bypass grafting with supraarterial myotomy in 5 patients and supraarterial myotomy in 1). Results All the operations were successfully completed. The operative duration of off-pump and on-pump surgery was 2.8?1.9 h and 3.5?1.7 h, respectively. The extracorporeal circulation time was 59?37 min. No surgery related death or complications occurred. At 3 months after operation, all the patients were free from symptoms, and electrocardiogram returned to normal in 11 patients. During a follow-up for 0.5~7 years (1.9?1.2 years), recurrent palpitation was seen in 1 patient and others reported no angina. Conclusions Surgical treatment of myocardial bridge has good immediate and long-term results.

Objective To evaluate the safety of laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision (CME) in radical resection for right colon cancer. Methods From January 2012 to June 2013, laparoscopic CME was performed in 40 patients with right colon cancer. Another group of 38 patients underwent traditional radical resection from January 2011 to December 2011.Surgical outcomes were compared between the two groups . Results The number of lymph nodes retrieved in the laparoscopic group ( 22.1 ±7.8 ) was significantly more than that in the traditional group (18.6 ±4.3, t =2.436, P =0.017).In patients with stage Ⅲ cancer, the laparoscopic group was associated with higher lymph node counts (23.0 ±6.0 vs.18.2 ±5.1, t=2.699, P=0.000), however, there were no significant differences in those with stage Ⅱ cancer between the two groups (t=0.758, P=0.454).There were no differences in operation time and intraoperative blood loss between the two groups (t=0.716, P=0.476;t=-1.547, P=0.126), but in the laparoscopic group the time to pelvic drainage tube removal , time to first flatus, time to liquid diet intake , duration of hospital stay, and postoperative complications were significantly better than those in the traditional group (t=-2.950, P=0.004;t=-5.767, P=0.000; t =-7.817, P =0.000; t =-6.065, P =0.000; χ2 =4.504, P =0.034). Conclusions CME technique in laparoscopic radical right hemicolectomy is feasible , safe, and effective.CME improves the surgical quality with keeping the integrity of mesocolon , more harvested lymph nodes , and not increasing surgical risks and postoperative complications .
