From the patient’s perspective, taking the control right of artificial intelligence (AI) in the analysis of pregnant and postpartum women’s health data as the entry point, this paper constructed a patient-centered governance framework for AI medical data control. It defined the different stages and scenarios of applications related to the health data analysis of pregnant and postpartum women, conducted a comparative analysis that combines existing ethical issues concerning AI data control in the medical field, and discussed autonomy issues in health management scenarios from three dimensions, namely, voluntariness, purposiveness, and steadfastness. Based on these discussions, this paper highlighted the reflection on autonomy under the behavioral research paradigm. Starting from the basic actions such as provision, deletion, analysis, triggering, presentation, revision, and response, it regarded technical behaviors as a form of instrumental communication and emphasized ensuring patients’ ample opportunities to participate in interactive links such as “information provision and adoption” “analysis and judgment” “presentation and summarization,” and “feedback and revision.” This will lay a foundation for expanding the existing discussion on medical AI autonomy to the ethical category of information usage.

Innate lymphoid cells are an important part of innate mucosal immunity and participate in immune response by secreting effector cytokines and regulating the functions of other immune cells.They are similar to T helper cells in transcription factors and secretory cytokines,but they also have some unique functions.Different innate lymphocyte subsets play different roles in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)according to their respective characteristics.Compared with adaptive lymphocyte,innate lymphocyte is relatively less in lymphoid tissue,accounting for only a small part of lung immune cells,but these lymphocyte cells play a crucial role in the development and progression of COPD.In this paper,the role of innate lymphoid cells in COPD and the related research progress were reviewed.

Objective To establish a cellular model of Parkinson disease by treating retinoic acid(RA)-differentiated SH-SY5Y cells with α-synuclein preformed fibrils(α-Syn PFF).Methods SH-SY5Y cells were divided into undifferentiated and RA-differentiated groups.The expression levels of tyrosine hydroxylase(TH),dopamine transporter(DAT),lymphocyte activation gene 3(LAG3),and Nestin proteins in the cells were detected using Western blotting,whereas those of microtubule-associated protein 2(MAP2)and neu-ronal nuclei(NeuN)were detected using immunofluorescence staining.Furthermore,RA-treated SH-SY5Y cells were divided into control and α-Syn PFF groups,and their levels of chromatin condensation were detected using Hoechst 33342 staining.Nitric oxide(NO)levels were measured using a NO assay kit.Additionally,the protein levels of TH,poly(ADP-ribose)(PAR),and poly(ADP-ribose)poly-merase(PARP)in these cells were detected using Western blotting,whereas their expression levels of phosphorylated α-Syn(pS129-α-Syn)and phosphorylated histone H2AX(γH2AX)were detected using immunofluorescence staining.Results Treatment with RA resulted in a reduction in cell body size and the elongation of protrusions in SH-SY5Y cells.The results of Western blotting showed that RA treatment could increase the TH,DAT,and LAG3 levels and decrease the Nestin level in SH-SY5Y cells(P<0.05).α-Syn PFF treat-ment decreased the TH protein level and increased the PAR,PARP-l,and cleaved PARP-1 levels in differentiated SH-SY5Y cells(P<0.05).According to the immunofluorescence results,RA treatment increased the expression levels of MAP2 and NeuN in SH-SY5Y cells(P<0.001).The α-Syn PFF treatment increased the expression levels of γH2AX and pS129-α-Syn in RA-differentiated SH-SY5Y cells(P<0.01).The Hoechst 33342 staining results showed that α-Syn PFF treatment led to chromatin condensation in the differentiated SH-SY5Y cells(P<0.001)and increased the NO levels(P<0.01).Conclusion A cellular model of Parkinson disease can be established by treating RA-differentiated SH-SY5Y cells with α-Syn PFF.

In order to understand the actual needs and influencing factors of cancer patients to participate in medical decision-making, 29 cancer patients were selected for semi-structured interviews by purpose sampling from September 2020 to February 2021, and the data were analyzed by substantive coding step by step according to interview method. The results showed that the quality of patient-clinician interaction was an important factor influencing the decision quality. The elements for cancer patients to participate in medical decision-making include: patients’ disease knowledge, awareness of choice, communication duration, support from family members and doctors, and mutual trust between doctors and patients. Medical staff should respect patients’ preference to participate in medical decision-making, break the medical-centered system arrangement, help patients obtain services matching their preferences for participating in decision-making, and achieve a pattern that is beneficial to both patients and the medical system.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the role of laparoscopic ultrasonography(LUS) in prevention of bile duct injury(BDI) and residual common bile duct (CBD) calculi during complicated laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).
METHODSOne hundred and four cases of LC were defined complicated because of anatomic aberrance of the extrahepatic biliary system, unconfirmed exposed cystic duct, suspected CBD calculi or BDI, adhesion or inflammation in the Calot's triangle, acute cholecystitis, and atrophic gallbladder. LUS was performed to scan the extrahepatic bile duct. LC was carried out with assistance of the LUS.
RESULTSAssisted with the LUS demonstrated anatomic relationship between the extrahepatic bile duct and cystic infundibulum or cystic duct, 85 cases of LC were accomplished successfully. 19 were converted to open cholecystectomy because of LUS-indicated potential risk of BDI, CBD calculi, and suspected BDI.
CONCLUSIONSWith the extrahepatic bile duct visualized by LUS and contrast of the cystic infundibulum and cystic duct, operators can precisely identify the anatomic relationships between the cystic infundibulum, cystic duct and extrahepatic bile duct. Preoperatively unpredicted choledocholithiasis may be recognized.

Objective To investigate the way of closed establishment of pneumoperitoneum(CEPP) in patients with peritoneal cvity adhesion in laparoscopy cholecystectomy(LC). Methods CEPP experiences of 1046 patients in 6600 cases LC in our hospital from September 1991 to September 1999 were retrospectively analysed. The difficulty in establishing pneumoperitoneum was divided into two kinds: real establishment pneumoperitoneal difficulty(REPPD) and false establishment pneumoperitoneal difficulty(FEPPD). REPPD was due to Veress needle penetrating into visceral or extensive adhesion in peritoneal cavity resulting in CO2 flowing into difficulty. FEPPD was due to Veress needle pentrating in the fat out of peritoneum, in round hepatic ligament or in greater omentum. The formal situation needed to open laparotomy as a change, and the latter situation could establish pneumoperitoneum successfully by regulating the Veress needle penetrating direction or depth in the second penetration. Results Of the 1046 patients, 1028 cases had been establishedpneumoperitoneum successfully though CEPP; 6 cases of REPPD and 18 of FEPPD were required opening laparotomy as a change. The successful rate of CEPP was 98.3%. Conclusions CEPP is a safe and feasible method in patients with peritoneal adhesion in LC. It is the main reason for CEPP failure regarding REPPED as FEPPD made by the deficiency in LC experience and loss confidence in laparoscopist.
