2.Constructing a legal framework for minor organ donation: comparative insights from the United States and Germany and their relevance for China
Organ Transplantation 2026;17(2):287-295
Organ donation by minors has long been a highly controversial topic in both legal and ethical discussions worldwide. In the United States, case law has established a case-by-case review mechanism, allowing limited room for the practice of living organ donation by minors under specific conditions. Germany, with a strong emphasis on the protection of personal dignity, adopts a more cautious stance. In China, the law clearly stipulates that living organ donors must possess full civil capacity. However, some scholars argue that under strict conditions and with adequate safeguards, minors should be allowed to donate organs in emergency medical situations. Given the limited domestic experience in this area, China should develop a protective pathway that balances scientific validity, legal compliance, and humanistic concern, in line with its national conditions, legal traditions and cultural background, all under the guidance of the principle of caution. Based on a review of China’s current organ donation system, this article examines legislative philosophies, procedural designs and ethical review mechanisms in the U.S. and Germany. From a comparative law perspective, it extracts institutional elements that could serve as references, with the aim of improving China’s legal framework for organ donation by minors.

ObjectiveTo optimize the extraction method for polysaccharides from turnip(Brassica rapa), and analyze and evaluate the primary structure of the isolated and purified turnip polysaccharide fraction(BP-1) and its hypoglycemic effects in diabetic zebrafish. MethodsTaking polysaccharide yield as the evaluation index, a semi-bionic extraction method was employed. Single-factor experiments and Box-Behnken response surface methodology were used to investigate three factors of solid-to-liquid ratio, extraction time and extraction temperature, in order to optimize the extraction process. BP-1 was isolated and purified using the Sevage method and DEAE-52 cellulose column chromatography. Structural characterization of the turnip polysaccharides was performed using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry(UV), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS), Congo red assay, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR) to determine purity, monosaccharide composition, triple-helix structure, and functional groups. The microstructure of the polysaccharides was observed using scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and atomic force microscopy(AFM). Zebrafish were divided into the blank group(adding E3 medium), and BP-1-1, BP-1-10, BP-1-50, BP-1-200, BP-1-1 000 groups(adding BP-1 solutions at concentrations of 1, 10, 50, 200, 1 000 mg·L-1, respectively), and zebrafish embryos were subjected to a 96-hour exposure experiment. The maximum tolerated concentration of BP-1 in zebrafish was determined by evaluating its effects on phenotype, survival rate, malformation rate, and heart rate. Experimental animals were randomly divided into the blank group, model group, BP-1-10 group(10 mg·L-1), BP-1-50 group(50 mg·L-1), and BP-1-200 group(200 mg·L-1). The blank group was cultured in E3 medium, the model and treatment groups were induced to establish a diabetic model in 4 day-post-fertilization(dpf) zebrafish embryos using 10 g·L-1 of glucose combined with 500 µmol·L-1 of alloxan. The treatment groups received corresponding doses of BP-1 solution, while the blank and model groups received an equal volume of saline. Glucose and insulin(INS) levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) kits, the effects on the liver were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) histopathological sections. The mRNA expression levels of glucagon(Glucagon), insulin(Insa), and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1(PCK1) were detected with real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR). ResultsThe optimized extraction conditions were determined as follows:solid-to-liquid ratio of 1∶40(g·mL-1), extraction time of 66 min, and extraction temperature of 79 ℃. Under these conditions, the yield of turnip polysaccharides was (10.34±0.96)%. UV analysis indicated that BP-1 contained no proteins or nucleic acids, GC-MS analysis revealed that BP-1 consisted of six monosaccharides(arabinose, rhamnose, ribose, mannose, galactose and glucose). Congo red assay indicated that the molecular conformation did not exhibit a triple-helix structure, FT-IR analysis showed the presence of α-glycosidic bonds and uronic acids, SEM analysis revealed an irregular flaky structure with a flat and smooth surface, AFM analysis suggested that the aggregated structure might be formed by the entanglement of molecular chains and intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The maximum tolerated concentration of BP-1 in zebrafish over 96 h was determined to be 200 mg·L-1. Pharmacodynamic results showed that, compared with the blank group, the model group exhibited significantly increased glucose levels and significantly decreased INS levels(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the BP-1-50 group significantly reduced glucose levels and increased INS levels(P<0.05). Histopathological examination of liver tissue revealed that various doses of BP-1 had a certain reparative effect on damaged liver tissue. The liver tissue structure in the BP-1-200 group was nearly normal, with hepatocytes appearing plump. Real-time PCR results showed that, compared with the blank group, the model group exhibited significantly upregulated mRNA expressions of Glucagon and PCK1, and significantly downregulated mRNA expression of Insa(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the BP-1-50 and BP-1-200 groups showed significantly downregulated mRNA expressions of Glucagon and PCK1, and significantly upregulated mRNA expression of Insa(P<0.01). ConclusionThe semi-bionic extraction method for turnip polysaccharides yields a high extraction rate, is simple to operate, has low costs, making it suitable for large-scale industrial production. BP-1 consists of six monosaccharides, contains α-glycosidic bonds and uronic acids, exhibits hypoglycemic activity, and provides a certain protective effect on the liver of alloxan-induced diabetic model zebrafish.

Background As one of the primary operational methods in the power grid industry, the insulated glove working method imposes significant physical demands due to the constraints of insulating equipment and specific required postures, resulting in substantial occupational health hazards among workers in this sector, which have garnered widespread social attention. Objective To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in the neck, shoulder, and lumbar regions among workers wearing insulated gloves, and to provide targeted measures to reduce occupational hazards. Methods Using stratified cluster sampling, 1079 frontline workers were randomly selected from power supply enterprises across 3 provinces in China. The revised Chinese version of the Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire was used to investigate the 1-year prevalence of WMSDs in the neck, shoulder, and lumbar regions among workers wearing insulated gloves, and to collect factors associated with multi-site WMSDs (defined as involvement of ≥2 sites among the neck, shoulder, and lumbar). Results The 1-year prevalence of WMSDs in the neck, shoulder, and lumbar regions was 39.9%, 30.0%, and 25.3%, respectively, with a multi-site WMSDs prevalence of 32.0%. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that, compared to workers with technical secondary school education or senior high school education and below, workers with junior college education or bachelor’s degrees and above had a higher risk of multi-site WMSDs (OR=2.12, 95%CI: 1.47, 3.06). Compared to workers with <10 years of work experience, those with 10-<20 years of work experience had a higher risk of multi-site WMSDs (OR=1.96, 95%CI: 1.45, 2.67). Working in uncomfortable postures "sometimes" (OR=1.64, 95%CI: 1.14, 2.36), "frequently" (OR=2.75, 95%CI: 1.76, 4.29), and "very frequently" (OR=3.55, 95%CI: 2.04, 6.19) were significantly associated with an increased risk of multi-site WMSDs compared to never working in such postures. Frequent repetitive movements of the low back (OR=2.05, 95%CI: 1.48, 2.84) increased the risk of multi-site WMSDs, while sufficient rest time decreased the risk (OR=0.45, 95%CI: 0.34, 0.61). Conclusion The prevalences of single-site and multi-site WMSDs in the neck, shoulder, lumbar regions are relatively high among workers wearing insulated gloves. Factors associated with multi-site WMSDs include 10-<20 years of work experience, junior college education or bachelor’s degrees and above, uncomfortable working postures, frequent repetitive low-back movements, and lack of sufficient rest time.

Background A large number of power supply workers are involved in live working and are exposed to multiple risk factors for long periods of time during outdoor work, which in turn causes occupational health problems. Objective To identify potential ergonomic factors related to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) and estimate the ergonomic risk of electricians. Methods A total of 31 workers were randomly selected from a training base under a power supply enterprise in Guangxi, and their operation processes were recorded by video. Using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) method, the workers were scored by the posture of their arms, neck, and torso during operation, and the final scores were summarized to assess their risk level. Two independent samples t-tests were used to compare the differences in RULA scores. Results A total of 31 videos for mounting/dismounting insulation mask and 29 videos for breaking/connecting contact terminal were collected. The RULA score for mounting/dismounting insulation mask was 6.6 ± 0.7 (left side) and 7.0 ± 0.2 (right side), most of the workers had a score of 7 (71.0% on the left side and 96.8% on the right side), and the upper limb and overall scores on the right side were higher than those on the left side (P < 0.05). The RULA score for breaking/connecting contact terminal was 6.9 ± 0.4 (both right and left sides), most of workers had a score of 7 (89.7% on the left side and 93.1% on the right side), and the difference of the overall scores between the right and left side for this operation were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The ergonomic risk levels for both operations were level 3 or higher. Conclusion Mounting/dismounting insulation mask and breaking/connecting contact terminal are typical upper limb operations, and have a high level of ergonomics risk, requiring effective preventive and protective measures.
