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 investigate the effects of normobaric hyperoxia intervention on learning and memory abilities of valproic acid(VPA) autism model rats and the morphology of pyramidal cells in hippocampus CA1 area.Methods Animal model groups of autism were obtained in male offspring of the Wistar rats that received intraperitoneal injection of 600 mg/kg VPA at the 12.5 day after pregnancy.According to the eye opening time,behavior,weaning weight and the learning and memory abilities which were evaluated by the Y electricity maze test at the 28th day after birth,40 male VPA autism model rats were randomly selected 20 only and divided into normobaric hyperoxia model group (group A,n =10),atmospheric air model group (group B,n =10).Normal control groups were obtained in male offspring of Wistar rats that received intraperitoneal injection of equivalent physiological saline at the same period pregnancy.(group C,n =10).Rats in group A were treated with oxygen for 1 h per day and lasted 1 week;group B and C were treated with normal air.The learning and memory abilities of three groups were assessed at the 35th day after birth.The immunohistochemistry methods and image analysis were used to observe the pyramidal cells of autism model rats in hippocampal CA1 region.The effect of normobaric hyperoxia therapy on pyramidal cell of autism model rats in hippocampal CA1 region were evaluated by HE staining technique.Results The trying times of group A after treatment were less than those before treatment (31.15 ± 0.99 vs 31.54 ± 0.97,t =2.739,P =0.018).The memory times were more than those before treatment (3.00± 0.58 vs 2.69 ± 0.48,t =-2.309,P =0.040).The trying times of group A after treatment were less than those in group B after treatment (P =0.016).The memory times of group A were not different from that in group B after treatment(P=0.810).The morphology of pyramidal cells in hippocampal CA1 region showed that the pyramidal cells of the autism model rats had apoptosised.The number of apoptotic cells reduced and the number of normal form cells increased after the normobaric hyperoxia intervention compared with the autism model rats.Conclusion Normobaric hyperoxia intervention can improve the learning and memory abilities of the autism model rats.The apoptosis of the pyramidal neurons in hippocampal CA1 might be reduced after the normobaric hyperoxia intervention.

BACKGROUND:Injection of isoproterenol is known to induce proliferation and hypertrophy of acinar cells in rodent salivary glands. However, the clonal proliferation ability of stem/progenitor cells of salivary glands by isoproterenol remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To study the proliferation and activation ability of stem/progenitor cells of submandibular gland with colony assay by intraperitoneal injection of isoproterenol.
METHODS:Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups, isoproterenol and control groups, respectively intraperitonal y injected with isoproterenol and normal saline for 5 consecutive days. The gland tissues were harvested, and the stem/progenitor cells of submandibular gland were obtained by enzyme digestion in vitro. The number of clonal colonies of each group was analyzed. The larger colony cells were col ected for immunohistochemistry staining with CD90.1, laminin andα6β1.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The number of middle and low proliferative potential colony-forming cells was less but high proliferative potential colony forming cells were significantly more in isoproterenol group compared with control group (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the total number of the colonies between two groups (P>0.05). The high proliferative potential colony forming cells were positive for CD90.1, laminin andα6β1. Results showed that isoproterenol treatment model cannot increase the cellnumber, but enhance the proliferation ability of stem/progenitor cells from the submandibular gland.

Objective To investigate the neuropsychological features of different mild cognitive impairment (MCI) subtypes.Methods A neuropsychology battery was applied in this study.Seventy MCI participants were enrolled in the test and classified as:28 amnestic MCI ( aMCI),21 vascular MCI ( V-MCI),and 21 Parkinson' s disease MCI (PD-MCI).Forty six normal old people were also evaluated as control.Results First,there were significant differences in the CAMCOG-C and CAMCOG-C subscales of each MCI subtype compared with the normal control. aMCI patients showed significantly impaired orientation,language expression,recent memory,attention,calculation,abstraction and perception (t =4.580,5.150,3.053,4.070,5.918,2.121,2.952,3.175 ; all P ＜ 0.05).However,the ability of language comprehension,remote memory and execution were relatively reserved.V-MCI patients scored lower in the cognitive function of orientation,language expression,attention and execution compared with the normal control(t =2.974,3.165,4.216,3.197; all P ＜ 0.05),with no significant difference in memory,calculation,abstraction and perception.A boarder cognitive impairment was observed in PD-MCI patients who showed significantly impaired language expression,recent memory,remote memory,learning memory,attention and execution(t =4.433,3.065,3.821,3.447,5.344,0.348 ; all P ＜ 0.05).Second,aMCI (3.07 ± 0.81,11.07 ± 2.28 ) and PD-MCI (3.00 ± 0.89,11.33 ± 1.91 ) patients scored significantly lower in CAMCOG scores and CAMCOG subscales including recent memory and learning memory compared with V-MCI(3.52 ±0.87,12.48 ± 1.83;aMCI vs V-MCI:t =1.868,2.381,PD-MCI vs V-MCI:t =1.921,1.980 ; all P ＜ 0.05 ).The remote memory and execution function in PD-MCI were significantly impaired compared to the other two subtypes(PD-MCI vs aMCI:t =2.498,4.257; PD-MCI vs V-MCI:t =1.684,1.492 ;all P ＜ 0.05 ).Third,the GDS scores were different among the four groups. aMCI grouphad significant higher GDS score compared to the normal control group( t =2.850,P ＜ 0.05 ),while there were no similar changes in V-MCI and PD-MCI groups.Comparing different MCI subtypes with each other,aMCI and V-MCI groups had higher GDS scores than PD-MCI group.Conclusions The features of cognitive impairment in the 3 subtypes are all multiple domains.The characteristic impairment domains are memory in aMCI,executive function in V-MCI,and both memory and executive functions in PD-MCI.aMCI may show greater depression tendency compared to the other two subtypes.The different features in the subtypes of MCI may represent different pathophysiololgical changes in each MCI subtype.

Objective This paper aims to make clear the post-disaster medical needs of residents in the disaster areas and changes among the poor population, for the purpose of policy recommendations on post-disaster medical assistance. Methods Such methods as in-home questionnaire survey and literature study were used to study the income, prevalence rate and mental health of 4 380 households in 10 counties (cities and districts) in the disaster areas. Results In the hardest hit areas, 80. 4% and 52. 8% of residents in rural and urban areas are dependent on government relief respectively;the proportion of poor population resulting from the disaster rose from 5% before the disaster to over 75% afterwards in the hard-hit areas, while such a population rose to 15% in the hardest-hit areas and about 10% in general disaster areas;It is estimated that the new medical aid funds in Sichuan Province will reach 350 million yuan, two-fold that of the budget for 2009;In the hardest hit areas, the two-week prevalence rate per thousand people is twice that found in the third survey of health services in 2003, characterized of acute respiratory illness and rheumatoid;In the hardest-hit areas, nearly 70% of the residents are exposed to high mental health risks. Conclusion Recommendations: Strengthening the raising and use of medical aid fund;dynamic management for the population in need of post-disaster medical aid;Developing appropriate medical aid packages to fit post-disaster health needs and postdisaster disease characteristics;and consolidating the connection between medical aid and primary medical insurance system.
