1.Cultural conflict, reconciliation, and pathway reflection on organ donation from the perspective of Confucian bioethics
Chinese Medical Ethics 2025;38(11):1379-1386
Confucian bioethics demonstrates a complex tension and potential in the cultural conflict and reconciliation of organ donation. While modern medical ethics takes autonomy and gratuitousness as core principles, Confucian bioethics is grounded in the values of family orientation, body integrity, and intergenerational responsibility. This ethical difference has triggered cultural conflicts, particularly manifested in the contradiction between voluntariness and family ethics, as well as the conflict between gratuitousness and the view of body integrity. Meanwhile, intrinsic values of Confucian ethics, such as “benevolence,” “filial piety,” and “sacrificing life for righteousness,” provide cultural support for organ donation and demonstrate its practical possibilities in terms of altruism, kinship responsibility, and ethical sublimation. However, the rigid interpretation of traditional ethics, the limitations of technological application, and the insufficiency of policy design have constrained the active role of Confucian ethics in organ donation. Through the modernization of traditional concepts, the deep integration of technology and culture, and the optimization of policies and social mechanisms, the reconciliation pathways of Confucian bioethics in organ donation have been clarified. This exploration not only addresses cultural conflicts but also provides a theoretical foundation for constructing localized ethical systems and advancing organ donation initiatives.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors for microvascular invasion (MVI) in hepatocellular carcinoma based on three-dimensional visualization and the construction of its nomogram model.Methods:The retrospective cohort study method was conducted. The clinico-pathological data of 190 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who were admitted to Henan University People′s Hospital from May 2018 to May 2021 were collected. There were 148 males and 42 females, aged (58±12)years. The 190 patients were randomly divided into the training set of 133 cases and the validation set of 57 cases by the method of random number table in the ratio of 7:3. The abdominal three-dimensional visualization system was used to characterize the tumor morphology and other imaging features. Observation indicators: (1) analysis of influencing factors for MVI in hepatocellular carcinoma; (2) construction and evaluation of nomogram model of MVI in hepatocellular carcinoma. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as Mean± SD, and independent sample t test was used for comparison between groups. Measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M( Q1, Q3), and non-parametric rank sum test was used for comparison between groups. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers, and the chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. Corresponding statistical methods were used for univariate analysis. Binary Logistic regression model was used for multivariate analysis. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted, and the nomogram model was assessed by area under the curve (AUC), calibration curve, and decision curve. Results:(1) Analysis of influencing factors for MVI in hepatocellular carcinoma. Among 190 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, there were 97 cases of positive MVI (including 63 cases in the training set and 34 cases in the validation set) and 93 cases of negative MVI (including 70 cases in the training set and 23 cases in the validation set). Results of multivariate analysis showed that alpha-fetoprotein, vascular endothelial growth factor, tumor volume, the number of tumors, and tumor morphology were independent factors affecting the MVI of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma ( odds ratio=5.06, 3.62, 1.00, 2.02, 2.59, 95% confidence interval as 1.61-15.90, 1.28-10.20, 1.00-1.01, 1.02-3.98, 1.03-6.52, P<0.05). (2) Construction and evaluation of nomogram model of MVI in hepatocellular carcinoma. The results of multivariate analysis were incorporated to construct a nomogram prediction model for MVI of hepatocellular carcinoma. ROC curves showed that the AUC of the training set of nomogram model was 0.85 (95% confidence interval as 0.79-0.92), the optimal fractional cutoff based on the Jordon′s index was 0.51, the sensitivity was 0.71, and the specificity was 0.84. The above indicators of validation set were 0.92 (95% confidence interval as 0.85-0.99), 0.50, 0.90, and 0.82, respectively. The higher total score of the training set suggested a higher risk of MVI in hepatocellular carcinoma. The calibration curves of both training and validation sets of nomogram model fitted well with the standard curves and have a high degree of calibration. The decision curve showed a high net gain of nomogram model. Conclusions:Alpha-fetoprotein, vascular endothelial growth factor, tumor volume, the number of tumors, and tumor morphology are independent influencing factors for MVI in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. A nomogram model constructed based on three-dimensional visualized imaging features can predict MVI in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective:To study the impact of the age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI) on the prognosis of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma following laparoscopic surgical resection.Methods:Clinical data of 136 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma undergoing laparoscopic surgery at Zhengzhou University People's Hospital between January 2013 and January 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, including 81 males and 55 females, aged (63.6±9.8) years. Patients were divided into two groups based on the median ACCI score of 4.0: the high ACCI group (ACCI>4.0, n=49) and low ACCI group (ACCI≤4.0, n=87). The prognosis was compared between the two group. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to analyze the effect of ACCI on survival after laparoscopic surgery. Results:The 1- and 3-year cumulative survival rates in low ACCI group were 87.4% and 48.3%, respectively, compared to 53.1% and 4.1% in high ACCI group ( χ2=27.97, P<0.001). Univariate Cox regression analysis indicated that ACCI >4.0 was associated with prognosis ( HR=3.73, 95% CI: 2.44-5.68, P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis also indicated that ACCI >4.0 was associated with an increased risk of postoperative mortality in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma ( HR=2.69, 95% CI: 1.65-4.37, P<0.001). Conclusion:The ACCI is a significant risk factor for survival of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma following laparoscopic surgery, which could facilitate a precise preoperative assessment of patient status and choice of surgical approach.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of achieving textbook outcome (TO) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and to construct a nomograph model to explore its predictive value in TO.Methods:The clinical data of 205 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma treated by PD in Henan University People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022 were analyzed retrospectively, including 88 males and 117 females with the age of (61.3±9.8) years old. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they achieved TO after surgery: TO group ( n=113) and non-TO group ( n=92). Clinical data such as age, gender, intraoperative blood loss, operation time, blood transfusion volume, pancreatic CT value, and tumor differentiation degree were collected. Logistic regression analysis screened the influencing factors of PD postoperative TO and built a nomogram model. The performance of the nomogram model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration diagram, and decision curve analysis. Results:Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the higher the degree of tumor differentiation was in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (high differentiation to medium differentiation: OR=7.20, 95% CI: 1.20-43.28; high differentiation to low differentiation: OR=16.55, 95% CI: 2.01-136.11), CT value>38.45 Hu ( OR=0.29, 95% CI: 0.13-0.65), blood transfusion volume ≤350 ml ( OR=8.05, 95% CI: 2.94-22.01) and operative time ≤407.5 min ( OR=10.88, 95% CI: 3.90-30.41), the easier it was to achieve TO after PD (all P<0.05). Based on the above influencing factors, a nomogram model of the postoperative effect of PD on TO was established, and the consistency index of this column graph model was 0.863 (95% CI: 0.816-0.911). The sensitivity and specificity of ROC curve were 0.804 and 0.752, respectively. The calibration diagram showed that the calibration curve fits well with the ideal curve, and the decision curve showed that the model had obvious positive net benefit. Conclusion:The degree of tumor differentiation, CT value, blood transfusion volume, and operation time are independent influencing factors for the achievement of TO after PD in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and the nomogram model constructed based on which has good predictive performance for TO.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of modified arthroscopic Brostr?m procedure for the treatment of chronic ankle instability combined with multiple ligament laxity.Methods:A retrospective case series study was used to analyze the clinical data of 26 patients with chronic ankle instability combined with multiple ligament laxity treated at Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2016 to December 2020, including 10 males and 16 females; aged 18-48 years [(27.5±7.1)years]. All patients underwent arthroscopic repair of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) by the modified Brostr?m procedure. Healing of surgical incisions was observed after operation. The change of talus tilt angle for ankle stability evaluation, the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score for ankle function evaluation, and the visual analogue score (VAS) for pain evaluation were assessed before operation, at 3 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up. Complications were observed.Results:All patients were followed up for 18-47 months [(25.3±8.5)months]. All surgical incisions were healed at stage I. The talus tilt angle was decreased from preoperative (15.6±4.7)° to (4.1±1.3)° and (3.5±0.9)° at 3 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up (all P<0.01). The AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score was improved from preoperative (65.8±14.5)points to (86.5±5.6)points and (93.4±4.2)points at 3 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up (all P<0.01). The VAS was decreased from preoperative 3.0 (2.0, 4.0)points to 1.5 (0.0, 2.0)points and 1.0 (0.0, 1.2)points at 3 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up (all P<0.01). Significantly higher AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score and lower VAS were found at the final follow-up when compared with the scores at 3 months postoperatively (all P<0.05). One patient developed superficial peroneal nerve injury, which was recovered spontaneously without special treatment. Conclusion:For chronic ankle instability combined with multiple ligament laxity, the modified arthroscopic Brostr?m procedure has advantages of improved ankle stability, good ankle function recovery, obvious pain relief and less postoperative complications.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of abnormal 15-minute retention rate of indocyanine green (ICG R15) (≥10%) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, and to construct a nomogram model, and to evaluate the prediction efficiency of the nomogram model.Methods:The clinical data of 190 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma in Zhengzhou University People's Hospital from December 2017 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 148 males and 42 females, aged (57.8±9.9) years. According to ICG R15, the patients were divided into ICG R15 normal group ( n=134, ICG R15<10%) and ICG R15 abnormal group ( n=56, ICG R15≥10%). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of abnormal ICG R15, and the nomogram model was established. The predictive ability of the model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and C-index, and the model was verified by calibration curve and decision analysis curve. Results:Abnormal ICG R15 group the proportion of liver cirrhosis, albumin ≤35 g/L, hemoglobin ≤110 g/L, platelet count ≤100×10 9/L, prothrombin time >13 s, alanine aminotransferase >40 U/L, aspartate aminotransferase >40 U/L, total bilirubin >34.2 μmol/L, and the largest tumor diameter >5.0 cm, spleen volume >383.1 cm 3, spleen volume to of non-tumor liver volume (SNLR) >0.276 and liver tumor volume >117.2 cm 3 were higher than that of ICG R15 normal group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that liver cirrhosis ( OR=3.89, 95% CI: 1.28-11.80, P=0.016), spleen volume >383.1 cm 3( OR=5.17, 95% CI: 1.38-19.38, P=0.015), SNLR >0.276 ( OR=5.54, 95% CI: 1.44-21.26, P=0.013) and total bilirubin >34.2 μmol/L( OR=10.20, 95% CI: 1.88-55.39, P=0.007) increased the risk of abnormal ICG R15. A nomogram model was constructed based on the above risk factors. The C-index of the model was 0.915 (95% CI: 0.872-0.957), and the area under the ROC curve predicted by the nomogram model was 0.915 (95% CI: 0.871-0.958). The calibration curve showed that the correlation index of the abnormal ICG R15 predicted by the nomogram was similar to actual situation. Decision analysis curve showed high returns. Conclusion:Liver cirrhosis, spleen volume >383.1 cm 3, SNLR>0.276 and total bilirubin >34.2 μmol/L were indepentlent risk factors for abnormal ICG R15 in patients with hepatocellur carcinoma. The clinical prediction model of ICG R15 abnormality constructed by nomogram has good prediction efficiency, which can provide a reference for evaluating preoperative liver reserve function of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE To develop a whole-process intelligent model of pharmaceutical care for peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, and to provide a reference for clinical pharmacists to provide standardized PD pharmaceutical care. METHODS The pharmaceutical care mode of PD patients at home and abroad was investigated and analyzed. Based on the actual situation of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University (hereinafter referred to as “our hospital”), with “home→PD center outpatient→ inpatient department” as the main node, the recycling process of medication reconciliation was optimized. The whole-process intelligent pharmaceutical care model of PD was illustrated by improving the Chinese version of the drug-related problems (DRPs) classification tool, developing the corresponding pharmaceutical care process, and presenting specific cases. RESULTS Based on the medication therapy management (MTM) platform, our hospital had built a closed-loop PD whole-process intelligent pharmaceutical care model of “in-hospital pharmaceutical care (building document)-PD outpatient MTM-home pharmaceutical care (online App management)”. A “double cycle” workflow of “admission→discharge→outpatient” medication reconciliation cycle and “discovery-analysis-intervention-follow-up-record-evaluation” DRPs cycle was formed. CONCLUSIONS The establishment of the whole-process intelligent pharmaceutical care model for PD in our hospital provides experience for standardizing pharmaceutical care for PD patients, and can reduce DRPs.

Objective:To report the efficacy of arthroscopic medullary decompression combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of bone marrow edema of the talus.Methods:A retrospective case series study was used to analyze the clinical data of 17 patients with bone marrow edema of the talus admitted to Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2018 to July 2020. There were 11 males and 6 females, with the age range of 15-56 years [(45.7±4.3)years]. All patients were subjected to arthroscopic medullary decompression combined with the administration of PRP. Operation time and wound healing were recorded. Maximum area of bone marrow edema was measured by MRI preoperatively and at 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Ankle range of motion (ROM), visual analog score (VAS) and American Association of Foot and Ankle Surgery (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score were measured preoperatively and at 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Complications were also detected.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-41 months [(16.7±2.1)months]. Operation time was 45.2-68.5 minutes [(53.4±12.4)minutes]. All wounds were healed at stage I. The maximum area of bone marrow edema decreased from (28.2±6.9)mm 2 preoperatively to (16.3±5.7)mm 2 at 6 months postoperatively and to (7.1±1.7)mm 2 at 12 months postoperatively (all P<0.01). Ankle ROM increased from (52.2±8.9)° preoperatively to (72.3±3.1)° at 6 months postoperatively and to (83.1±2.8)° at 12 months postoperatively (all P<0.01). VAS decreased from (8.2±0.6)points preoperatively to (6.5±0.4)points at 6 months postoperatively and to (3.1±0.8)points at 12 months postoperatively (all P<0.01). AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score increased from (32.4±4.8)points preoperatively to (54.4±6.5)points at 6 months postoperatively and to (88.7±4.3)points at 12 months postoperatively (all P<0.01). There were significant differences in maximum area of bone marrow edema of the talus, ankle ROM, VAS and AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score at 12 months postoperatively when compared with those at 6 months postoperatively (all P<0.01). One patient showed the symptom of localized skin numbness postoperatively, and improved with nerve nutrition therapy. Conclusion:Arthroscopic medullary decompression combined with PRP therapy for bone marrow edema of the talus presents good short-term clinical benefits in terms of reduced extent of bone marrow edema, improved ankle ROM, attenuated pain, improved ankle joint function and few postoperative complications.
