ObjectiveTo explore the current situation of forensic ethics practice and education by designing a questionnaire on forensic ethics, with a view to exploring the path of forensic ethics education construction. MethodsA total of 667 valid questionnaires were collected using the online survey method, basically covering various regions across the country and all sub-specialties of forensic medicine. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the relevant data. ResultsMost practitioners had relevant ethical reflections in the process of forensic practice. 69.12% of the respondents indicated that they had studied the relevant rules, but approximately half stated that there were no corresponding ethical norms or standard operating manuals. The specific behaviors violating ethics in different units were diverse. 23.04% of the respondents reported that they had encountered unethical behaviors, but only 4.9% of them reported such violations. In terms of forensic ethics education, 87.75% of the respondents believed that there were issues with the current model of forensic ethics education. Meanwhile, the respondents showed a high degree of recognition for receiving forensic ethics education, with 84.15% of respondents expressing willingness to participate in relevant courses. More than half of respondents were willing to participate in forensic ethics education during undergraduate studies, new employee training, and regular post-employment training. ConclusionCurrently, there is a problem of ethical neglect in forensic work in China. Combining ethics courses with professional courses at the practitioner training stage and providing regular training at the practice stage are effective measures to popularize forensic ethics knowledge, enhance ethical awareness, and improve the quality of practice.

Objective: To explore the balance of peripheral blood T helper 17 cells/regulatory T cell (Th17/Treg) ratio and the polarization ratio of M1 and M2 macrophages in lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO). Methods: A rat model of lower extremity ASO was established, and blood samples from patients with lower extremity ASO before and after surgery were obtained. ELISA was used to detect interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-10, and IL-17. Real-time RCR and Western blot analyses were used to detect Foxp3, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-17 expression. Moreover, flow cytometry was applied to detect the Th17/Treg ratio and M1/M2 ratio. Results: Compared with the control group, the iliac artery wall of ASO rats showed significant hyperplasia, and the concentrations of cholesterol and triglyceride were significantly increased (P<0.01), indicating the successful establishment of ASO. Moreover, the levels of IL-6 and IL-17 in ASO rats were pronouncedly increased (P<0.05), while the IL-10 level was significantly decreased (P<0.05). In addition to increased IL-6 and IL-17 levels, the mRNA and protein levels of Foxp3 and IL-10 in ASO rats were significantly decreased compared with the control group. The Th17/Treg and M1/M2 ratios in the ASO group were markedly increased (P<0.05). These alternations were also observed in ASO patients. After endovascular surgery (such as percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and arterial stenting), all these changes were significantly improved (P<0.05). Conclusions: The Th17/Treg and M1/M2 ratios were significantly increased in ASO, and surgery can effectively improve the balance of Th17/Treg, and reduce the ratio of M1/M2, and the expression of inflammatory factors.

Abstract: Objective To evaluate the performance of QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) in screening the prison population for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI), and analyze the related influencing factors of latent infection, so as to provide the basis for screening the prison population for latent tuberculosis infection. Methods The basic characteristics and screening results of the newly admitted prison population were collected, using QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT-GIT) assay as the gold standard. The kappa value and the area under the ROC curve were used to evaluate the detection performance of QFT-Plus. At the same time, Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the difference of IFN-γ production between tubes. A logistic regression model was established to analyze the influencing factors of latent tuberculosis infection in the prison population. Results A total of 100 valid subjects were included in this study, and 24 LTBI patients were screened. The median age of the participants was 38 years, with a median LTBI age of 44 years and a median healthy age of 37 years. In addition, the education level was mainly concentrated in college and above. Consistency checks of various screening methods revealed that the highest coincidence rate of QFT-Plus and QFT-GIT detection results was 0.917, with the largest area under the curve at 0.958. The K-W analysis showed that the amount of IFN-γ in QFT-Plus TB tube was significantly higher than that in QFT-GIT TB tube, and the variation range of IFN-γ in QFT-Plus tube was greater. In addition, multivariate analysis showed that increasing age (aOR: 1.046, 95%CI: 1.004-1.089) was a risk factor for LTBI in the prison population, while having an education level of college or above (aOR: 0.263, 95%CI: 0.071-0.972) was a protective factor. Conclusions QFT-Plus, as a newly developed method for detecting LTBI, showed basic consistency with QFT-GIT, and the consistency was higher than that of other skin test methods. However, due to the large variation of IFN-γ production in QFT-Plus, it is still necessary to further explore the diagnostic threshold. In the screening of LTBI in prisons, special attention should be given to the elderly population and the population with low education levels.
