Chinese Medical Ethics 1995;0(04):-
Based on the behavior and the social group,STD cases were devided into the active and passive STD cases. Even through,how the doctor take attidude to those cases, what the medical ethics should be taken by doctor,here we discussing in detail, those case should be treated not only in Bio-medical but also in Sociology. Otherwise, those cases should be pretected in human right, dignity, honour and the privacy.

Objective To evaluate the effects of B7-H3 gene transfection on 18F-FDG uptake and 18F-FLT uptake in prostate cancer cells.Methods The absorption (A) values of untransfected prostate cancer(RM1) cells and B7-H3 gene-transfected RM1 (RM1-B7-H3) cells were detected at different culturing time points (0.5,1,2,3,4 and 5 d) with cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) test.Cell cycle phase distribution of RM1 and RM1-B7-H3 cells was measured with flow cytometry.18F-FDG uptake of RM1 and RM1-B7-H3 cells was measured with γcounter and calculated under different conditions:5× 104-5× 106 cells; 0-11.0 mmol/L glucose; 20-120 min incubation in 37 ℃.18F-FLT uptake of RM1 and RM1-B7-H3 cells was measured in 1×106 cells under incubation for 100 min at 37 ℃.After administering anti-B7-H3 monoclonal antibody 4H7,18F-FDG uptake of RM1-B7-H3 cells was measured.The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and two-sample t test.Results The A values of RM1-B7-H3 cells after being incubated for 1,2 and 3 d were higher than those of RM1 cells(1.59±0.23,2.26±0.15 and 2.01±0.60 vs 1.22±0.14,1.10± 0.09 and 1.04±0.15,t=3.923,19.228,4.467,all P<0.01).There was no statistical significance between the 2 groups at other time points (t=-0.094,0.858,2.000,all P>0.05).The ratios of RM1-B7-H3 cells in G1,S and G2/M phases were(32.96±2.56) %,(39.11 ±2.57) % and (27.94±0.21) %,respectively.The ratio of S phase in RM1-B7-H3 cells was higher than that in RM1 cells ((32.76±1.90)%,t=3.442,P< 0.05).18F-FDG uptake of the both cell lines decreased with the increase of glucose concentrations,while the uptake went up with the increase of cell number and incubation time.With the cell number of 1.0× 106,incubation time of 100 min and temperature of 37 ℃,the 18F-FDG uptake of RM1-B7-H3 and RM1 cells was (55.07±3.99)% vs (44.16±3.60)% (t=4.977,P<0.01) ; and 18F-FLT uptake of RM1-B7-H3 and RM1 cells was (5.25±0.81)% vs (3.33±0.64)% (t=4.567,P<0.01).After treated with antibody 4H7,18F-FDG uptake of RM1-B7-H3 cells ((45.36±2.92) %) was lower than that of untreated group (F=10.001,P< 0.01).Conclusion B7-H3 gene transfection may promote the metabolism and proliferation of prostate cancer cells,and thereby increase the 18F-FDG uptake and 18F-FLT uptake.

Objective To detect mutations in the filaggrin (FLG) gene and expressions of FLG and loricrin in patients with ichthyosis vulgaris (Ⅳ),and to investigate their clinical significance.Methods Tissue specimens were resected from the skin lesions of 10 patients with Ⅳ and normal skin of 14 healthy human controls,and immunohistochemical SP method was used to detect the expressions of filaggrin and loricrin.The expression intensity was determined by the Image-Pro Plus (IPP) software,and expressed as positive units (PU).Blood samples were collected from 10 patients of Han nationality with Ⅳ and 100 healthy human controls followed by DNA extraction.PCR and DNA sequencing were performed to detect the presence of 13 mutations (3321delA,441delA,1249insG,E1795X,S3296X,R501X,2282de14,R2447X,S2889X,7945delA,3702delG,Q2417X,R4307X) in the FLG gene.Results FLG was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm of keratinocytes in the stratum corneum,granular layer,prickle layer and basal layer,and loricrin was observed in the cytoplasm and nuclei of keratinocytes in the granular layer,prickle layer and basal layer,in both the lesional and normal skin.Compared with the normal skin,the lesional skin showed significantly weaker expressions of FLG (0.208 2 ± 0.008 0 vs.0.230 0 ± 0.0228,t =3.30,P < 0.01) and loricrin (0.137 0 ± 0.011 2 vs.0.149 3 ± 0.007 3,t =3.07,P < 0.01).Sequencing analysis identified two mutations,including 3321delA in 7 patients and 441delA in 2 patients.No mutations were detected in the healthy controls.Conclusions The 3321delA and 441delA mutations in the FLG gene may represent the most frequent genetic cause of Ⅳ in patients of Han nationality.The low expressions of FLG and loricrin may be associated with the impairment of skin barrier function in patients with Ⅳ.

Objective Through studying the apoptosis induced by stichopus japonicus acid mucopoly saccharide in the hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 in vitro, analysing the expression of Bcl-2 and nm-23in HepG2, to provide the theory foundation and its feasibility on whether it can be used for the chemotherapy of hepetocellular carcinoma. Methods The cells of HepG2 were cultured in vitro and treated with SJAMP at different doses(0.25,0. 5,1.0,2.0,4.0 g/L). MTT was used to observe the inhibitory effects of SJAMP on cell growth, Western blotting was used to detect apoptosis, and the apoptosis related change of expression of protein Bcl-2 and nm23-H1. Results (1) MTT identified that SJAMP produced an obvious time-and-dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the HlepG2 cells. (2) Western blot showed that SJAMP could induce the apoptosis of HepG2 cells through changing the expression of the protein of Bcl-2 and nn23-H1 (P<0.05). Conclusion (1)SJAMP produced obvious inhibitory effects on HepG2 cells and induce HepG2 apoptosis. (2)SJAMP can enduce the anti-tumor function in the method of changing the expression of protein Bcl-2 and nm23-H1.

Objective:
To examine the associations of sleep with overweight/obesity and central obesity in adults, so as to provide insights into improving sleep quality and preventing obesity in adults.
Methods:
Demographics, height, body weight, waist circumstance and sleep status were collected from the Hubei Provincial Surveillance Program for Adult Chronic Diseases and Their Risk Factors in 2020. Subjects' sleep condiction, overweight/obesity and central obesity were descriptively analyzed. The associations of sleep with overweight/obesity and central obesity were examined using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 17 789 participants were recruited, with an average age of (56.21±13.05) years, 61.50% women, and mean duration of (7.18±1.56) h/d. There were 7 019 participants with snoring/asphyxia/suffocation (39.46%), 6 108 participants with sleep difficulty (34.34%), 8 064 participants with night waking at least twice (45.33%), 268 participants taking hypnotics (1.51%), and 6 267 participants with early morning awakening and difficulty in sleep again (35.23%), and there were 8 960 participants with overweight/obesity (50.37%) and 6 148 participants with central obesity (34.56%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that sleep duration of <7 h/d (OR=1.081, 95%CI: 1.007-1.159), snoring/asphyxia/suffocation (OR=2.367, 95%CI: 2.222-2.521), and night waking at least twice (OR=1.106, 95%CI: 1.028-1.191) significantly correlated with overweight/obesity, and sleep duration of >8 h/d (OR=0.834, 95%CI: 0.761-0.913), snoring/asphyxia/suffocation (OR=2.153, 95%CI: 2.019-2.297), and night waking at least twice (OR=1.193, 95%CI: 1.105-1.288) were statistically associated with central obesity.
Conclusion
Sleep duration, snoring/asphyxia/suffocation and night waking are associated with overweight/obesity and central obesity.

In recent years, the category of atopic dermatitis (AD) has been updated in domestic and foreign guidelines, and elderly AD has been added as a subtype. The pathogenesis of elderly AD is related to heredity, skin barrier dysfunction, immune dysregulation and lifestyle. Most elderly AD patients have atypical clinical symptoms, and misdiagnosis is very common. To fully understand the pathogenesis and clinical characteristics of elderly AD, and to formulate individualized diagnosis and treatment plans based on clinical characteristics, are particularly important for improving the quality of life of patients and reducing the burden of the disease.
