Résumé
Vulnerability is an inherent and ineradicable reality, and different contexts can exacerbate or induce different manifestations of vulnerability. By sorting out the meaning of vulnerability and identifying particular manifestations and attributions of children’ vulnerability in talent genetic testing situations, including the inherent vulnerability of children themselves, the situational vulnerability derived from talent genetic testing and educational environment, as well as the pathogenic vulnerability from the protection of minors. It was proposed that talent genetic testing of children should be guided by the principles of responsibility, no harm, and permission, so as to protect children from additional harm during testing and avoid exacerbating their vulnerability.
Résumé
To realize the education and training program of excellent doctors in China and meet the ethical requirements of clinical practice, it is crucial to carry out clinical medical ethics education for medical staff. Clinical medical ethics education is an important component of medical education and a necessary and important way for doctors to practice medical professional ethics. Starting from the concept of clinical medical ethics, this paper discussed the meaning, objectives, and content of clinical medical ethics education, and then distinguished its substantive differences from existing medical ethics education, which were manifested in clinical practice ability, situational embodiment, and action standardization. Furthermore, by summarizing and analyzing the current situation of clinical medical ethics education, it was found that it has shown its shortcomings in insufficient practicality. Finally, based on sorting out the previous countermeasures, this paper proposed strategies to strengthen the practicality of clinical medical ethics education, including adopting the integration approach of "time-space-teacher" and establishing a three-level responsibility system of "government-institution-teacher".
Résumé
With the maturity of genetic testing technology and the decrease of genetic sequencing cost, an emerging business model based on online platforms has emerged in direct-to-consumer genetic testing. This paper combed the process and methods of this type of genetic testing, and found that obtaining genome data is an indispensable part of the profit making of genetic testing companies. By analyzing the substantive and procedural ethical problems of genetic testing companies’ access to genome data, as well as the insufficient, hidden and misleading problems of informed consent, this paper proposed the principle of credibility, bottom line and minimum risk to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and promote the positive development of direct-to-consumer genetic testing.
Résumé
As patient autonomy is increasingly valued and respected in clinic,"patient participation" in clinical decision making has been gradually concerned, while it has been also questioned. Through reviewing the history of the concept of "patient participation", this paper expounded the meaning of "patient participation" in clinical decision making and its theoretical and practical significance from the perspective of deontology and utility theory. On this basis, this paper discussed the main practical ethical issues of"patient participation" faced in our country, including the ability and role of patient participation in clinical decision making, the challenge of"families involvement" in clinical decision making to "patient participation", to solve people' s doubts about the practical application of "patient participation" in clinical decision making.
Résumé
The differences of feelings and views of disease and logical thinking between doctor and patient lead to differences in values which might result in doctor-patient conflicts,and clinical ethics consultation ease the differences in values or moral conflict between doctors and patients using ethical adjustment function.Compared with the present mediation mechanism of doctor-patient relationship in China,clinical ethics consultation has the characteristics of preventing the doctor-patient conflict or dispute,multi-disciplinary experts' consultation and coping with the doctor-patient contradiction of value-laden.Although clinical ethics consultation has theoretical significance and practical value,it still faces the theoretical challenge of moral relativism,and the practical prob-lems such as competence of ethical committee,consultation effect and support system.

Résumé
As a heteronomy,the code of medical ethics plays an important role in sustaining the trust between physicians and patients.Based on a comparative analysis of the domestic and foreign codes of medical ethics,and field survey on such trust at tertiary hospitals in Beijing,as well as medical providers’moral characteristics,this article analyzed the causes that “goodwill”is insufficient in the trust in terms of internal and external factors;and then,in respect of heteronomy as a basis,it put forward suggestions to improve code of medical ethics in order to rebuild such trust.
Résumé
In order to study the the impact of cognitive difference between doctors and patients on doctor-patient relationship, five tertiary hospitals in city B were investigated with questionnaire and quantitative interviews, and the outcomes were analyzed with SPSS16. 0 software. Cognitive differences were found in the nature of the relationship, the main part of responsibility for the relationship, and principles for communication between the parties. By analyzing the causes of the difference and their impact on the relationship, it draw the conclusion that this cognitive difference found between the two parties functions as a key to the conflicts between doctors and patients. Return of health care back to non-profit nature, encouragement of patient-doctor communication and mutual understanding will be conducive to minimizing such a cognitive difference, and building a harmonious doctor-patient relationship.

Objective To explore the expression and significance of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, IV collagen and CD34 in epithelial ovarian tumor. Methods Eighty-two patients with epithelial ovarian tumor, among them,there were 48 malignant epithelial ovarian carcinomas, 23 borderline epithelial ovarian tumors and 11 benign epithelial ovarian tumors. The expression of MMP-9, IV collagen and CD34 were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results The expression of MMP-9 was strongly linked to the degree of malignant ovarian carcinomas (F= 39.306,P< 0.01). The expression of CD34 was also strongly linked to the degree of malignant ovarian carcinomas [benign epithelial ovarian tumors was (17.18±5.64)%,borderline epithelial ovarian tumors was (29.76±7.18)%,well-differentiated malignant epithelial ovarian carcinomas was (57.20±8.55)%,moderately-differentiated malignant epithelial ovarian carcinomas was (71.20±8.48)%, poorly-differentiated malignant epithelial ovarian carcinomas was(90.38±20.03)%](F= 100.072, P < 0.01). The expression of IV collagen in malignant epithelial ovarian carcinomas was different from that in borderline epithelial ovarian tumors and benign epithelial ovarian tumors (F = 11.554,P<0.0l). The expression of MMP-9 was positive correlation with the loss expression of IV collagen and the expression of CD34 (r=0.796,0.802,P< 0.01).Conclusions The positive expression of MMP-9,CD34 and the negative expression of IV collagen are obviously relevant to degree of malignant ovarian carcinomas.The combined testing on expression of MMP-9,CD34, IV collagen on ovarian carcinomas is significant to decide degree of malignant ovarian carcinomas and evaluate future development.

Résumé
Purpose:To set up a new method to screen hMSH2 gene mutations, to detect hMSH2 gene mutations in gynecologic tumor population and to find molecular biomarkers of tumor. Methods:The basic data and blood samples from 42 gynecologic tumor patients werre collected. The genetic mutations of the sixth exon and seventh exon of hMSH2 gene were investigated by multiple polymerase chain reaction single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR SSCP),followed by DNA sequencing. Results:The successes in setting up the multiple PCR SSCP method made it possible to detect hMSH2 gene mutations more quickly and more economically. Two samples of the seventh exon mutation was detected in the tumor population. The mutation is Leu→Phe missense mutation. No mutation of the sixth exon was detected by SSCP.Conclusions:The multiple PCR SSCP method is effective in detecting genetic mutations. There is a mutation site in the seventh exon of hMSH2 gene. It is probably a biomarker of gynecologic tumor. This discovery might offer the basis for further investigation of mutations in large amount population and studies of the function of the mutation.
