1.Legal issues on organ donor rescission prior to organ removal from the body
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2013;29(9):669-671
Encouraging voluntary donation of citizens' organ is the best institutional solution for the severe shortage of organ transplantation.The policy incentives should allow donors to rescind their donation of their organ anytime before the organ is removed from their body.As long as the donor does not commit subjective offence,he/she shall be released from any legal responsibilities.This arrangement is highly significant legally and practically.

In 2008,the Ministry of Health,UNAIDS and the World Health Organization held a press conference,stating that sexual transmission had become a major route of transmission in China.Epidemiological research has shown that circumcision can be efficacious for males in reducing their risk of HIV acquisition via heterosexual activity.This article analyzes male circumcision as a HIV/AIDS prevention strategy from medical,public health and ethical perspectives.

Objective To evaluate the construction of scFv-psm-ETA immunotoxin and to study its antitumor effect on human prostate cancer cells. Methods The genes encoding the heavy and light chain Fv regions of the monoclonal murine antibody Ed-5,which recognizes prostate specific membrane antigen on the surface of human prostate cell,were cloned by PCR technique and were used to generate single-chain immunotoxins containing Pseudomonas exotoxin A(ETA).The light and heavy chains were connected by a flexible linker to form a single-chain antigen-binding protein,which was in turn fused to truncated forms of ETA.The resulting plasmid,pSW200-psm,was transformed intoE.coli CC118 and the recombinant immunotoxins,scFv-psm-ETA,were expressed and purified to near homogeneity.The cell killing activity and in vivo antitumor activity of scFv-psm-ETA were tested using human prostate cancer cell line LNCaP. Results scFv-psm-ETA was shown to be cytotoxic specifically to 80% of LNCaP cells,which expressed the PSM on their surface at a dose up to 100 ng/ml.In athymic nude mice, administration of the scFv-psm-ETA inhibited the growth of human prostate cancer cells LNCaP.The size of the tumors was 153 mm3 and 272 mm3,respectively, in treatment group and control group (P

Objective To determine the detection rate of duodenal papilla and the diagnostic rate of small bowel diseases by capsule endoscopy(CE)and its possible influencing factors.Methods A total of 369 cases with suspected small bowel disease who had undergone CE were retrospectively reviewed. The de- tection rate of duodenal papilla and that of small bowel disease were calculated respectively. The detection rate of duodenal papilla in another 369 patients having received gastroscopy was also counted in order to findout the miss detection rate of forward-viewing endoscopy. The CE findings were reviewed at the rate of 1 im-age and 15 images per second by hand-motion respectively. The detection rate of duodenal papilla was calcu-lated,and the number of frames showing duodenal papilla was counted. Differences of detection rate of duo-denal papilla were also analyzed by different age and gender groups. In addition,the potential difference in detection rate of duodenal papilla between different bowel preparations before CE of two different reviewing approaches was also investigated respectively. Results The miss detection rate of duodenal papilla with for-ward-viewing gastroscopy was 22. 0%. The detection rate of duodenal papilla reviewed at the rate of 1 image by hand-motion,where less frames were needed to visualize duodenal papilla(3. 7vs7. 0),was significantly higher than that at the rate of 15 images per second(32. 2%vs13. 6%,P=0. 001). The diagnostic rate of small bowel diseases was also significantly higher than that of duodenal papilla by CE(67. 2%vs32. 2%,P=0. 000). Age and gender were not significantly correlated with the detection rate of duodenal papilla. No significant correlation was found between various kinds of bowel preparation before CE at different viewing rate and the detection rate of duodenal papilla. Conclusion It iS relatively difficult to identify duodenal pa- pilla by CE,as they are peculiarly positioned in anatomy,so the detection of duodenal papilla does not nec- essarily represent the detection rate of small bowel diseases. The major factors that influencing the detection of duodenal papilla by CE include local anatomy,viewing rate and technical limitations of CE.

The development of the imaging technology enables diagnostic methods of detect intracranial aneurysms diversified. In recent years, the diagnosis of aneurysms was confirmed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) which was regarded as the "gold standards". However, CT angiography (CTA), which appears as a fast, non-invasive, and easily achievable examination, is becoming as a new option in clinic. With the development of the CT facility and upgrade of the workstation software, CTA is more widely used in both diagnosing and treating intracranial aneurysm. This article reviews the sensitivity and specificity of CTA in the detection of intracranial aneurysms, and systematically analyzes its advantages and disadvantages as well as its development, imaging methods.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of false-positive serological reaction of syphilis.Methods:A total of 166 patients with false-positive serological reaction of syphilis (false-positive group), 145 patients diagnosed with early syphilis without treatment (positive control group) and 124 persons undergoing entry physical examination (negative control group) were included from January 2017 to February 2020 in Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University. The gender, age and underlying diseases of the three groups were compared. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of false-positive serological reaction of syphilis. The efficacies of chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) and toluidine red unheated serum test (TRUST) were compared. Paired t test or chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results:In the false-positive group (166 cases), the age of 117 cases were more than 50 years old and 49 cases <50 years old. There were significant differences in age ((53.1±13.8) vs (24.7±2.8), t=22.56, P<0.01), autoimmune disease (36.7%(61/166) vs 6.5%(8/124), χ2=35.93, P<0.01), hepatitis (9.6%(16/166) vs 3.2%(4/124), χ2=4.92, P=0.026) and tumor (6.6%(11/166) vs 0.8%(1/124), χ2=4.68, P=0.030) between the false-positive group and the negative control group. There were significant differences in gender (there were 91(54.8%) males and 75(45.2%) females in the false-positive group, and 103(71.0%) males and 42(29.0%) females in the positive control group, χ2=8.67, P=0.003), age ((53.1±13.8) vs (34.4±12.9), t=20.13, P<0.01) and autoimmune disease (36.7%(61/166) vs 6.9%(10/145), χ2=39.14, P<0.01) between the false-positive group and the positive control group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender (odds ratio ( OR)=2.692, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.504-4.816, P=0.001), age ≥50 years old ( OR=30.512, 95% CI 15.959-58.335, P<0.01), autoimmune disease ( OR=2.677, 95% CI 1.258-5.695, P=0.011) and hepatitis ( OR=4.408, 95% CI 1.799-10.799, P=0.001) were the influencing factors of false-positive serological reaction of syphilis. In the false-positive group, the positive rate of TRUST was 84.9% (141/166), which was higher than that of CLIA (23.5%(39/166)). The difference was statistically significant ( χ2=126.25, P<0.01). CLIA was 1.0-10.0 cut off index (COI) in 36 patients, and >10.0 COI in three patients.The difference was statistically significant ( χ2=52.51, P<0.01). The titers were ≤1∶4 in 139 patients and≥1∶8 in two patients with TRUST positive.The difference was statistically significant ( χ2=262.35, P<0.01). The sensitivity and specificity of CLIA were 95.2% and 96.0%, respectively, and those of TRUST were 77.2% and 91.1%, respectively. Conclusions:The influencing factors of false-positive serological reaction of syphilis include patients age ≥50 years and with autoimmune disease or hepatitis. The false-positive rate of TRUST is significantly higher than CLIA.
