1.Medical Ethics Challenges and Countermeasures under Different Internet Hospitals Operation Modes
Chinese Medical Ethics 2022;35(10):1094-1098
Internet hospitals played a huge role in meeting patients’ medical needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a new service model, it also brings new challenges to medical ethics. This paper analyzed the three key elements of behavior: actors, behavior process and action result, and found that apart from ethical challenges such as medical security, data security and privacy protection, different types of Internet hospitals show diversity due to different actors involved. The first type of Internet hospital represented the conflict of interest of doctors brought by the integration of offline and online working modes. The second type showed the challenge of fairness in medical treatment brought by the demand of personalized service provided by medical staff in public medical institutions. The third type manifested the medical security challenges brought by doctors with varying technical levels in an open platform environment. Combined with the current ethical governance of science and technology and the digital transformation of society, this paper put forward some countermeasures and suggestion, such as further clarifying the boundaries of rights and responsibilities of relevant subjects of Internet platform, formulating the code of conduct requirements for medical staff in Internet hospitals, and supervising doctors’ medical practice in Internet hospitals.

Objective:To assess impact of radiation from nuclear power on the surrounding environment, a dose assessment model was constructed and relevant dose coefficients were determined through refined animal models.Methods:Zebrafish is one of the most important aquatic model animals in the radiation hazard assessment of nuclear power liquid effluent. A geometric model of zebrafish containing internal bones and visceral organ was established for dose estimation. The internal and external dose coefficients (DC) of the zebrafish model were calculated by Monte Carlo method with seven nuclides as the source term, 3H, 40K, 58Co, 60Co, 110Ag, 134Cs, 137Cs, which are common in nuclear liquid effluents and environmental monitoring. Results:The level of nuclide gamma energy determines dose coefficients for external radiation. The dose coefficients of most nuclides in internal organs was higher than that in whole body, and the internal organ dose of 58Co was 165% higher than that in whole body. The internal radiation dose coefficients of the model established in this study was relatively high, and the internal radiation dose coefficients caused by 60Co was 2.6 times of existing ellipsoid model, which suggested that the different internal materials and the choice of different particle types would affect the energy deposition. Conclusions:Refining of model animals is important. Accurate assessment of the organs dose coefficients of model animals is helpful to assess the radiation effects on non-human species.

Objective:To examine the clinical effects of the treatment of knee osteoarthritis patients with kinematic alignment technique of total knee replacement (KA-TKA) assisted by patient-specific instrumentation (PSI).Methods:The clinical data of 14 patients with knee osteoarthritis treated with unilateral KA-TKA assisted by PSI at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from May 2018 to August 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 6 males and 8 females, aged 66.6 years (range: 56 to 79 years), 9 left knees and 5 right knees. The operation time, soft tissue release and extra varus or valgus osteotomy were recorded. The data of osteotomy blocks were measured and compared with the corresponding position of the prostheses. The hip knee ankle angle (HKA), the mechanical distal femoral lateral angle (mLDFA) and the proximal tibial medial angle (MPTA) were measured before and 3 months after the operation. The knee joint functional score (KS-F) , knee joint clinical score (KS-C) and the Western Ontario McMaster (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis Index were recorded and compared by paired t test or Wilcoxon non-parametric test. Results:The operation time was (81.8±16.9) minutes (range: 60 to 115 minutes), 2 cases were manually increased varus osteotomy by 2 mm and 1 patient received lateral retinaculum release. There was no extra medial or lateral soft tissue release. Intraoperative measurement of the resection showed that the femoral side mismatch was within 2 mm. The medial and lateral condyle, the medial and lateral posterior condyles were relatively overcut by 0.50 mm, 0.21 mm, 0.93 mm, and 0.71 mm, respectively. The tibial side mismatch was within 1.5 mm, the medial and lateral plateau were relatively undercut by 0.43 mm and 0.32 mm. HKA was corrected from (8.8±5.6) ° to (1.6±4.3) ° ( t=20.723, P=0.000) .KS-C improved from 28.21±13.47 preoperative to 78.07±8.01 postoperative ( t=-16.570, P=0.000); KS-F improved from 41.00±15.25 preoperative to 84.93±10.85 postoperative ( t=-14.675, P=0.000).WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index decreased from 53.5 (25.75) ( M( QR)) preoperative to 5.5 (5.25) postoperative ( Z=-3.297, P=0.001) .No statistically significant difference was found in mLDFA and MPTA before and after surgery. No significant patellofemoral complication was recorded during follow-up time. Conclusions:PSI assisted TKA resection has high accuracy. KA-TKA aims to restore the native anatomy of the knee joint, only corrects the malalignment of lower extremities caused by articular cartilage wear, with less interference to soft tissues, easy to obtain satisfactory knee joint laxity and has a promising early clinical effect.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2019;40(1):100-103
Objective:
To reveal the relationship between physical fitness and body fat percentage (BFP) among female college students.
Methods:
During March 2017, BFP and fat free mass were measured among 633 randomly selected healthy female college students. All subjects were divided into five groups based on BFP: low weight, normal weight, high body fat, grade I obesity and grade II/III obesity. Grip strength, leg strength, back strength, vital capacity, maximal oxygen uptake, reaction time, sitandreach, back scratch and standing on one foot with closed eyes were tested.
Results:
There were significant differences between all groups in grip strength, back strength, vital capacity, the absolute and relative value of VO2max, back scratch on both sides and standing on one foot with closed eyes(P<0.05). Grade I obesity group showed significant higher vital capacity, but lower relative value of VO2max, back scratch in both sides compared with normal group. Significant differences were observed in relative value of maximum oxygen uptake and back scratch in both sides between high body fat group and grade I obesity(P<0.05). Moreover, grade II/III obesity group showed significantly higher grip strength, back strength, vital capacity and absolute VO2max, but lower relative VO2max, back scratch in both sides and standing on one foot with closed eyes compared with normal and high body fat groups(P<0.05). There were significant differences in all the indicators except back strength and the relative VO2max between grade II/III obesity and grade I obesity group(P<0.05).
Conclusion
The results showed that physical fitness of female college students with normal body fat percentage is significantly better than that of obese peers. Body fat percentage confers damage for cardiopulmonary endurance fitness and upper limb flexibility fitness when higher than 30% and for balance fitness when higher than 35%.
