Objective: To analyze relevant ethical issues in safeguarding the right of informed consent among patients with cancer in the course of medical treatment and convalescence,so as to protect their legal right of informed consent and provide a more rational and humanistic medical treatment and nursing.Methods: Phenomenological method was adopted in this research and 13 subjects who met our criteria were interviewed randomly.Results: After reading,analyzing,introspecting,and classifying the data,8 themes of relevant ethical issues are concluded for the right of informed consent among patients with cancer in the course of medical treatment and convalescence,including the informed consent right of independent hospitalization,the informed consent right on one's own illness state,the informed consent right on medical insurance,the informed consent right on medical risks,the informed consent right on therapeutic schedule,the informed consent right on medical documents,the informed consent right on inspection,and family member's rights of informed consent.Conclusion: In order to provide a more rational and humanistic medical treatment and nursing for patients with cancer,relevant ethical issues of patients' informed consent right must be stressed and well settled,so as to better preserve patients' rights of informed consent.

AIM: To report the clinical manifestations of localized peripapillary detachment in pathologic myopia and to evaluate its underlying associations and causes.METHODS: From December 2002 to January 2004, 10eyes from 7 patients with high myopia were identified to have localized peripapillary detachment by optical coherent tomography (OCT). The features were described together with the fundus fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography and multifocal electroretinogram.RESULTS: Localised peripapillary detachments did not cause any symptoms by themselves and all the lesions were recognized because of other ocular problems. The areas of peripapillary detachment were all located within the posterior staphyloma. In the 5 eyes with type 1 staphyloma, the locations of detachment were all in the nasal half of the peripapillary area. In the other 5 eyes with type 2 and 3 staphyloma, the locations of detachment were all in the non-nasal peripapillary area. The difference between these two groups was statistically significant (Fisher's exact test, ,P= 0.01).CONCLUSION: Peripapillary detachment is probably a benign complication of posterior staphyloma in pathologic myopia. The site of peripapillary detachment is affected by the location of staphyloma and OCT is important in making the diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of scleral buckling operations on treating long-standing retinal detachment with subretinal proliferation. Methods The clinical data of 36 patients (40 eyes) with long-standing retinal detachment with subretinal proliferation who had undergone scleral buckling operation were retrospectively analyzed, and the clinical features, therapeutic methods and curative effects were summarized. Results The diagnosis of long-standing retinal detachment mainly based on the examination of ocular fundus. The features of the affected eyes were: flat retinal detachment, thin and transparent retina, and formation of subretinal cords. In 40 eyes undergone scleral encircling and buclking, 36 (90%) had one-off successful operation, and the visual acuities over 0.05 were found in 77.5% of the whole eyes. Conclusions Scleral encircling and buckling procedures can be used to treat long-standing retinal detachment with subretinal proliferation with fairish cured rate.

Objective To describe localized peripapillary detachment in highly myopic eyes, and to analyze the possible cause of this newly recognized fundus lesion. Methods From December 2002 to January 2004, 10 eyes from 7 patients with high myopia were identified to have localized peripapillary detachment by optical coherent tomography (OCT). The features were described together with the fundus fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography and multifocal electroretinogram. Results Peripapillary detachment was not the reason for any patient to be referred for examinations. The reasons of vision decrease or lower BCVA were relatively severe myopic chorioretinal changes, CNV, pre macular membrane formation, and amblyopia. The areas of peripapillary detachment were all located within the posterior staphyloma. The length of the detached retina was undoubtedly shorter than that of the corresponding RPE and inner layer of choroids, which attached to sclera, on OCT. Conclusion Peripapillary detachment is probably a benign complication of staphyloma

Cancer associated fibroblast (CAF) is the most important component in the tumor environment,and some researchers even propose that CAF can be the new target in cancer therapy.However what make it difficult for researchers are the various origins of the CAF,such as resident fibroblast,epithelium,endotheliocyte,mesenchymal cell,stem cell and so on.The various origins define their different phenotypes and functions.Further understanding about the origins of the CAF will help us to explore a novel approach for cancer therapy.

AIM: To investigate the refractive distribution and analysis risk factors for aircrew ametropia.
METHODS: The number of 49 cases with ametropia from 1031 aircrew during May 2013 to May 2014 were reviewed. Various types of refraction composition, age, type, position, time of flight with the subjective assessment of aircrew were analyzed and compared.
RESULTS:Of 49 cases, 43 cases (88%) were myopia, 6 cases ( 12%) were hypermetropia. , Detection rates were higher in age over 50 years aircrew and flight time more than 3000h. Detection rates were lower in self-conscious symptom heavy aircrew, fighter aircrew and good habit of using eyes.
CONCLUSION: The myopia incidence in aircrew with age >50 years and long flight time is higher, than that of fighter pilots and good habit of using eyes. We should pay attention to the increasing late-onset myopia of aviators and habit of using eyes, work intensity and time of using eyes about aircrew.

Objective To determine sexual function in 612 male addicts with methadone maintenance therapy (MMT),analyze its cause and explore the treatment strategies.Methods Self-made questionnaire and International Index of Erectile Function-5 ( IIEF-5 ) were used in 612male addicts receiving MMT.ResultsThe number of addicts who felt worse sexual function was significantly more than those who felt better sexual function (P ＜0.01 ).About 88.6％ addicts were dissatisfied with their current sexual function,90.7％ of whom were willing to continuously receive MMT.The number of addicts suffering from hyposexuality and erectile dysfunction (ED) was significantly increased at post-MMT than at pre-MMT ( P ＜ 0.01 ),while the number of addicts with normal sexuality and inhibitive ejaculation decreased significantly (P ＜0.01 ).Both the dose of methadone and the age of subjects were negatively correlated with IIEF-5 scores.Correlation between the duration of MMT and IIEF-5 scores was not found.ConclusionMMT might deteriorate sexual function in male addicts.To improve the compliance of MMT and sexual function in male addicts,the dose of methadone should be adjusted to minimally effective one.

Objective To study the effects of prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein ( Pup)-proteasome system on the growth of Mycobacterium strains.Methods The genes encoding Pup ( pup gene) and protea-someβsubunit ( prcB gene) were respectively knocked out from Mycobacterium smegmatis ( M.sm) strains by homologous recombination.The growth and viability of the wild-type and mutant strains of M.sm were an-alyzed under normal culture condition and under hypoxia as well as anaerobic conditions.Results The pup and prcB genes were completely and precisely knocked out from M.sm strains and the mutant strains were named △SM-Pup and△SM-prcB, respectively.The△SM-Pup strains grew faster than the wild type ( WT) and△SM-prcB strains.No significantly differences in the growth of M.sm were found between the WT and△SM-prcB strains.Conclusion The Pup-proteasome system was involved in the growth of M.sm, espe-cially the pup gene.There was difference between pup and prcB genes in regulating the growth of M.sm.The functions and influences of Pup-proteasome system still need further investigation.

Objective The purpose of this study is to evaluate Surgical Procedure and Prognosis for elderly stage 1NSCLC patients above 70 years old.Methods The patients who were stage Ⅰ non-small cell lung cancer from 2003 to 2007were enrolled ( n =71 ).The median age was 74 years ( ranged from 70 to 84 years).The median follow-up of patients was 30months( ranged from 2 to 81 months).Results The percentages of postoperative complications after sublobar resection and lobectomy patients were 36.4％ and 46.9％,respectively.The period in hospital were 11.36 days and 12.24 days.The 3 year survival was 85.9％ for patients undergoing sublobar resection and 78.8％ for lobectomy.The 5 year survival was 56.4％ and 56.9％ respectively.No significant difference was observed between two types of surgical procedure in the elderly.Staging is the independent factor of prognosis.Conclusion Lobectomy is still the main therapy method for elderly stage Ⅰ NSCLC patients.Especially,for those who can undergo radical resection.But sublobar resection also appears to be a viable surgical treatment for patients with cardiopulmonary physiologic impairment.
