This paper analyzed medical dispute litigation from the view of game theory.The adoption of mediation strategy for both hospital and patient was the Pareto optimal of this model.The adoption of court decision for both hospital and patient was the Nash equilibrium and its overall benefit was the Pareto suboptimal of this model.The communication of patient's lawyer can prompt the reconciliation between hospital and patient.On the one hand,it let the hospital realize the responsibilities they should bear,on the other hand let patients be willing to make concessions on the basis of the original claims,and finally made the two sides reach a reconciliation agreement,thus to make conflict between hospital and patient end in litigation and the overall benefits maximize.

Objective To determine whether strain and strain rate derived from velocity vector imaging ( VVI) allowed assessment of regional and global right ventricular ( RV) dysfunction and intra‐and inter‐ventricular dyssynchrony in patients with pulmonary hypertension ( PHTN) . Methods Ninety‐nine patients were enrolled , including 35 controls and 64 PHTN patients . All participants underwent echocardiography examinations and off line strain/strain rate analysis . Bi‐ventricular regional peak systolic strain ,strain rate ,and the time‐to‐peak systolic variables were measured at the RV free wall ,inter‐ventricular septum ,and LV lateral wall in apical four chamber views . Standard deviations of the time‐to‐peak systolic strain (SD‐Ts) and strain rate (SD‐Tsr) at six RV and three left ventricular (LV) segments were calculated to define intra‐and inter‐ventricular dyssynchrony . Results Compared with the controls , segmental and global peak systolic strain and strain rate decreased in the PHTN patients . And intra‐right ventricular dyssynchrony was present in the PHTN patients [SD‐Ts:(28 ± 20)ms in controls vs (61 ± 62) ms in patients , P = 0 .003 ] . The difference between the time‐to‐peak systolic strain rate at the basal segment of RV free wall and LV lateral wall indicated earlier RV free wall contraction in PHTN patients , relativetoLVlateralwall,particularlyinthoseseverePHTNpatients[(13±13)msincontrolsvs( -49± 14) ms in patients , P < 0 .01] . Conclusions PHTN impairs RV myocardial contraction and induces to ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony .VVI could monitor RV function during the treatment of PHTN .

Malignant tumors are highly heterogeneous in terms of molecular phenotypes such that personalized therapy will be-come the standard for tumor therapy. Molecular classifications of cancer based on differences in biological behavior are important for selecting treatment strategies and prognostication. The unique optical and chemical properties of quantum dots have been widely used in biomedical applications such as tumor diagnosis, monitoring, pathogenesis, treatment, molecular pathology, and heterogeneity based on biological markers. In this study, we discuss the application of quantum dot-based nanotechnology and the molecular classification of cancer in personalized oncology.

Objective To conclude the diagnostic methodology of unroofed coronary sinus (UCS) by two-dimensional echocardiography(2DE). Methods By analyzing the echocardiographic results of 16 UCS patients who were diagnosed by 2DE and confirmed by operation, the diagnostic methodology of UCS by 2DE was summarized. Results Sixteen patients with UCS were involved in this study. Among them, 12 cases were diagnosed as complete UCS,others were partial UCS(PUCS). Twelve patients were complicated with persistence of left superior vena cava (LSVC) that was connected to left atrium (LA) through UCS. All of preoperative diagnosis conducted by 2DE were finally confirmed to be consistent with the results of operation. With the analysis of acquired echo images,key points of diagnosis were concluded as follow: 1) normal coronary sinus (CS) could not be detected in the routine 2DE views referring CS. PUCS showed partial absence of CS roof,while complete UCS displayed as total absence of CS. 2)Inter-atrial shunt would definitely be found in UCS and the opening to right atrium must be coronary sinus orifice. The shunt direction was depended on the combined cardiac malformations. 3) With the occurrence of UCS,LSVC would be in junction with LA through UCS. 4) The inter-atrial shunt resulted in cardiac morphologic and hemodynamic changes. Conclusions Better understanding of the anatomic, morphological and hemodynamic characteristics of UCS would greatly contribute to accurate diagnosis on UCS.

Purpose To explore the expression of Aurora kinase A (Aurora-A), minichromosome maintenance protein 7 (MCM7) and human papillomavirus type 16 E7 protein (HPV 16 E7) in uterine cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) and to investigate their relationship with clinicopathological factors. Methods Immunohistochemical method was employed on 20 cases of low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN1) , 30 cases of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+3), 40 cases of CSCC, and 20 ca-ses of chronic cervicitis. Results (1) Aurora-A localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus. MCM7 protein positive staining localized in the nucleus. In the nucleus, and (or) the cytoplasm appeared brown particles positive for HPV 16 E7. (2) The expression of Aurora-A, MCM7 and HPV 16 E7 were higher in the group of CIN2+3 and CSCC than that in the group of chronic cervicitis or CIN1 ( P<0. 0083). (3) In cervical cancer, the expression of Aurora-A, HPV 16 E7 showed positive correlation (P<0. 001, rs =0. 657). The expression of MCM7, HPV 16 E7 showed positive correlation (P<0. 001, rs =0. 616). The expression of Aurora-A, MCM7 showed positive correlation (P<0. 001, rs =0. 597). (4) Aurora-A expression levels was associated with tumor cell differentiation, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis (P<0. 05). MCM7 expression levels was associated with tumor cell differentiation and clinical stage (P<0. 05). HPV 16 E7 expression had no correlation with patient age, tumor size, tumor differentiation, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis (P>0. 05). Conclusion Aurora-A, MCM7 and HPV 16 E7 expression are gradually increased with disease progres-sion, and closely related to the occurrence and development of cervical cancer, they are expected to be early diagnosis, early treatment of biological indicators of cervical cancer.

AIM:To study the effect of adiponectin (APN) on lipid peroxidation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in vitro. METHODS:The effect of H2O2 on apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC labeling. The concentration of malonaldehyde (MDA) in HUVECs was detected by thiobarbituric acid (TBA) method. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were measured by colorimetric assay. The scavenging rate on superoxide anion radicals in xanthine oxidase system and OH radicals produced by Fenton reaction were also tested. RESULTS:APN significantly inhibited H2O2-induced apoptosis. H2O2 increased MDA production and reduced the activities of SOD and CAT,which were inhibited by APN. APN did not alter the activities of SOD and CAT in normal condition. APN dose-dependently decreased the superoxide anion radicals,with the scavenging rate of 11.9%,21.4%,36.9%,respectively,and scavenged OH radicals. CONCLUSION:APN inhibits apoptosis and protects endothelial cells against lipid peroxidation insult by scavenging the free radicals.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of Sanhuang decoction combined with compound amino acid liposome healing membrane on treatment stage Ⅲ pressure ulcer. METHODS:According to the random number table,ninety cases of stage Ⅲ pres-sure ulcer were divided into control group A,control group B,and experimental group with 30 cases in each group. On the basis of the basic processing for each group,control group A was treated by dressing change with Sanhuang decoction only,control group B by dressing change with compound amino acid liposome healing membrane only,and experimental group by dressing change with Sanhuang decoction combined with compound amino acid liposome healing membrane. The results of treatment were observed and the curative effects were compared among 3 groups after 21 days or pressure ulcer healing. Three groups were com-pared with chi-square test and each two groups were compared with chi-square segmentation method. RESULTS:There was no dif-ference on total curative effect in control group A(62.1%)and control group B(66.7%)(P>0.05),however,there was statistical significance on total curative effect in experimental group(93.3%)and control group A(P<0.05),also in experimental group and control group B(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The effect of Sanhuang decoction combined with compound amino acid liposome healing membrane on treatment of stage Ⅲ pressure ulcer is better than the effect of dressing change with Sanhuang decoction only or compound amino acid liposome healing membrane only,and the healing time of wound is shortened. This research is deserved further study.
