The relevant laws and regulations regarding the utilization of the deceased as medical research subjects are not yet fully developed in China nowadays. Taking the deceased as research subjects as a starting point, this paper discussed the definition of the deceased and the scope of their interest protection from multiple perspectives. It posited that the scope of interest protection for the deceased encompassed two components: spiritual personality interests and material personality interests represented by the remains. The spiritual personality interests of the deceased included identification information such as name, portrait, reputation, honor, privacy, and personal information, as well as medical and health information. The personal information of the deceased was not directly affected by the individual’s life and death status and remained relatively independent. In terms of ethical review, the research team approached from two perspectives: the remains and the personal information of the deceased. Based on the standard of whether the research subjects involve a human body, research with the remains of the deceased as the medical research subjects was classified as non-clinical research. According to the standard of whether a human body is clinically operated, research with the personal information of the deceased (including medical and health information) as the medical research subjects was recognized as clinical research without human research operation. This approach provided evidence for the application of existing laws and regulations in ethical review and record management. The ethical review of investigator-initiated clinical research conducted in medical and health institutions, as well as the regulatory conditions for exemption from ethical review, were examined. The forms, content, and acquisition of informed consent were summarized, and the risk-benefit characteristics of the research activity were evaluated, with a view to providing a basis for the smooth and compliant implementation of research activities involving the deceased as medical research subjects.

Objective:To develop a limb function exercise program for patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and provide theoretical guidance for clinical nursing staff.Methods:A research team was formed to systematically review domestic and international literature on functional exercise for ECMO patients, extracting relevant evidence to form the initial version of the limb function exercise program. From June to July 2023, the Delphi method was used to conduct two rounds of expert consultations with 18 experts from three provinces and municipalities directly under the central government, including Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Shanxi. Based on the experts' feedback, the program items were revised to form the final version of the exercise program.Results:In the first round, 18 experts were consulted, with a valid response rate of 94.44% (17/18); in the second round, 17 experts participated, with a 100.00% (17/17) response rate. The expert authority coefficient was 0.859 in both rounds. The coefficient of variation for each level of indicator in the second round ranged from 0 to 0.160, and Kendall's coefficient of concordance was 0.092 to 0.130 ( P<0.01). The final ECMO patient limb function exercise program consisted of four primary indicators (preparation, assessment, exercise methods, and safety monitoring), 13 secondary indicators, and 44 tertiary indicators. Conclusions:The ECMO patient limb function exercise program developed in this study is scientifically sound and reliable, offering a reference and guidance for the implementation of limb function exercises for ECMO patients.

Objective:To study the effects of Jianpi Qinghua Decoction on hepatocyte apoptosis under non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and to discuss its mechanism.Methods:Totally 29 C57 mice were randomly selected and fed a 60% high fat diet for 16 weeks, while the remaining 6 mice were given regular feed as the normal group. After successful modeling, 12 mice with larger body weight were divided into TCM group and model group using a random number table method, while continuing to receive high-fat feed. The TCM group was orally administered Jianpi Qinghua Decoction 20.961 g/kg. The normal group and model group were orally administered an equal volume of distilled water once a day, with continuous intervention for 4 weeks. The levels of GOT and GPT in blood were detected by ELISA, the deposition of triglyceride in liver was detected by oil red O, and the apoptosis of liver cells was detected by TUNEL fluorescence staining. Western blot was used to detect the expressions of cleaved Caspase-3, Caspase-3, Bax, Bcl-2, JNK and p-JNK.Results:Compared with the model group, the body weight and GPT in the TCM group significantly decreased ( P<0.05), TG deposition was significantly reduced, apoptosis range of liver cells was significantly reduced, and cleaved Caspase-3/Caspase-3, p-JNK/JNK and the expression of Bax significantly decreased ( P<0.05). The expression of Bcl-2 increased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Jianpi Qinghua Decoction can inhibit JNK protein phosphorylation and effectively reduce liver cell apoptosis in NAFLD mice, which may delay the progression of NAFLD towards cirrhosis and liver cancer.
