1.Chen Shigong’s medical ethical thought and its contemporary value
Chinese Medical Ethics 2025;38(3):364-369
Chen Shigong is a renowned traditional Chinese medical surgeon in the Ming Dynasty, and his medical ethical thought is an important part of ancient Chinese medical ethical thought. The “five precepts of physicians” and the “ten essentials for physicians” in his book Orthodox Manual of External Diseases are regarded as the third monument in the history of the development of traditional Chinese medical ethics. Chen Shigong’s medical ethical thought was mainly influenced by the Song and Ming philosophies, forming the worldview of “unity of heaven and humanity” and a philosophy of life of “unity of knowledge and action.” He also advocated the values of benevolence among physicians and indifference to fame and fortune, the doctor-patient view of treating patients equally and preserving privacy, the medical view of respecting peers and spreading medical skills, and the diagnosis and treatment view of fulfilling duties and treating patients based on syndrome differentiation. Chen Shigong’s medical ethical thought advocated that medical ethics and skills should be given equal importance, which has a strong vitality and important reference value in strengthening medical ethical education, improving doctor-patient relationships, and cultivating the spirit of “benevolence” among physicians.

ObjectiveTo examine the public cognition, preferences, and values regarding organ allocation, thereby enhancing the public trust in China’s organ allocation system and providing a theoretical basis for human organ allocation in China. MethodsBy drawing on foreign questionnaires and finalizing the questionnaire after two rounds of expert discussion and evaluation, a nationwide online survey was conducted to investigate the Chinese public’s cognition, attitudes, and preferences towards organ allocation. ResultsNearly half of the respondents reported that they had only heard of (45.44%) or had never heard of (46.90%) the Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs). Most respondents expressed limited understanding of China’s organ allocation policy (68.42%) or specific procedures (67.89%). Only 9.65% of respondents expressed strong support for the current organ allocation policy, while 75.76% indicated that national allocation policies would influence their willingness or decision to donate organs. The public showed stronger endorsement of the principles of “prioritizing the sickest,” “first-come, first-served,” and “prioritizing those with better prognosis” for organ allocation. There were statistically significant differences in the public cognition, attitudes, and preferences for organ allocation by gender, age, education level, and occupation (all P<0.05). ConclusionThe Chinese public’s cognition regarding organ allocation is generally low, and their willingness to donate organs is not high. The public attitude towards organ allocation policy remains unclear and is still in a “wait-and-see” state; the public prefers an ethical distribution model that balances fairness and efficiency. Increasing the public understanding of organ allocation procedures and incorporating public opinion into national organ allocation guidelines could play a significant role in enhancing public willingness to donate organs.

Rosuvastatin(RVS)is an excellent drug with anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering properties in the aca-demic and medical fields.However,this drug faces a series of challenges when used to treat atherosclerosis caused by hyperhomocysteinemia(HHcy),including high oral dosage,poor targeting,and long-term toxic side effects.In this study,we applied nanotechnology to construct a biomimetic nano-delivery system,macrophage membrane(M?m)-coated RVS-loaded Prussian blue(PB)nanoparticles(MPR NPs),for improving the bioavailability and targeting capacity of RVS,specifically to the plaque lesions associated with HHcy-induced atherosclerosis.In vitro assays demonstrated that MPR NPs effectively inhibited the Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)/nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain(NOD)-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3(NLRP3)signaling pathways,reducing pyroptosis and inflammatory response in macrophages.Additionally,MPR NPs reversed the abnormal distribution of adenosine triphosphate(ATP)-binding cassette transporter A1(ABCA1)/ATP binding cassette transporter G1(ABCA1)/ATP binding cassette transporter G1(ABCG1)caused by HIF-1α,promoting cholesterol efflux and reducing lipid deposition.In vivo studies using apolipoprotein E knockout(ApoE-/-)mice confirmed the strong efficacy of MPR NPs in treating atherosclerosis with favorable bio-security,and the mechanism behind this efficacy is believed to involve the regulation of serum metabolism and the remodeling of gut microbes.These findings suggest that the synthesis of MPR NPs provides a promising nanosystem for the targeted therapy of HHcy-induced atherosclerosis.

The STAR tool was used to evaluate and analyze the science, transparency, and applicability of Chinese pathology guidelines and consensus published in medical journals in 2022. There were a total of 18 pathology guidelines and consensuses published in 2022, including 1 guideline and 17 consensuses. The results showed that the guideline score was 21.83 points, lower than the overall guideline average (43.4 points). Consensus ratings scored an average of 27.87 points, on par with the overall consensus level (28.3 points). Areas that scored above the overall level were "conflict of interest" and "working groups", while areas that scored below the overall level were "proposals", "funding", "evidence", "consensus approaches" and "accessibility". To sum up, the formulation of pathology guidelines and consensuses in 2022 is not standardized, and the evidence retrieval process, evidence evaluation methods and grading criteria for recommendations on clinical issues are not provided in the formulation process; the process and method for reaching consensus are not provided, the plan is lacking, and registration is not carried out. It is therefore suggested that guidelines/consensus makers in the field of pathology should attach importance to evidence-based medical evidence, strictly follow guideline formulation methods and processes, further improve the scientific, applicable and transparent guidelines/consensuses in the field, and better provide support for clinicians and patients.
