Infected by evil

In this paper I argue that there is good reason to believe that we can be influenced by fictions in ways that matter morally, and some of the time we will be unaware that we have been so influenced. These arguments fall short of proving a clear causal link between fictions and specific changes in the audience, but they do reveal rather interesting and complex features of the moral psychology of fiction. In particular, they reveal that some Platonic worries about the dangers of art cannot be dismissed lightly.     

Higher Extraversion and Lower Conscientiousness in Humans Infected with Toxoplasma

Toxoplasmosis is associated with specific differences in the personality of infected subjects relative to non‐infected subjects. These differences are usually considered to be a side effect of the manipulative activity of the parasite aimed to increase the probability of its transmission from the intermediate host to the definitive host by predation. The personality of infected subjects was studied mostly using the Cattell's questionnaire. However, this questionnaire is now considered outdated and has been mostly substituted with the Neuroticism–Extraversion–Openness Personality Inventory—Revised (NEO‐PI‐R) questionnaire in clinical practice. Here, we searched for the association between toxoplasmosis and the personality by screening a population of students with the NEO‐PI‐R questionnaire. We found that Toxoplasma‐infected male and female students had significantly higher extraversion and lower conscientiousness. The conscientiousness negatively correlated with the length of infection in men, which suggested that the toxoplasmosis associated differences were more probably the result of slow cumulative changes induced by latent toxoplasmosis, rather than transient side effect of acute Toxoplasma infection. The existence of this correlation also supported (but of course not proved) the hypothesis that Toxoplasma infection influenced the personality, rather than the hypothesis that the personality influenced the probability of the infection.

论艾滋病人及艾滋病毒感染者权利与义务的平衡

《艾滋病防治条例》,对于艾滋病病毒感染者和艾滋病人的权利和义务进行了精巧的设计。本着保护人权和预防疾病的需要,对艾滋病病毒感染者和艾滋病人在医疗活动、人身权益和社会经济各方面的权利与义务都进行了很好的平衡。     

治疗感染性骨不连伴大段骨缺损的探讨与思考

感染性骨不连伴大段骨缺损是目前临床骨科较为常见、多发、治疗极为棘手的病种之一,治疗方法多种多样,但疗效却不理想,且缺乏统一的诊治与疗效判断标准,总结、分析几种临床上主要治疗方法的利弊,为该病探寻一条微创、安全、并发症少及疗效确切的可靠治疗方法.随着对Ilizarov技术的基础与临床研究的不断深入,该技术在治疗传统方法难以治愈的疾病如四肢关节严重畸形、感染性骨不连或伴有骨缺损、皮肤软组织缺损等方面显示出自身的优势,为治疗疑难骨科疾病开辟了一条新的有效途径.

Medical Students' Perceptions of and Willingness to Treat Patients Who Are HIV Infected1

The purpose of this study is to examine the independent and joint influences of a patient's mode of acquisition of illness (blood transfusion vs. multiple sexual partners), attributions of responsibility (self-blame vs. chance blame), and sexual orientation (homosexual vs. heterosexual) on female and male medical students' attitudes toward and willingness to treat a patient who is HIV infected. One hundred nineteen 1st through internship-year medical students were randomly assigned to read and respond to case vignettes. Greater consistency between attribution of blame and mode of acquisition was related to more positive perceptions. Furthermore, the patient's sexual orientation influenced the providers' willingness to offer treatment, particularly for male medical students. Implications concerning health practices and medical education are considered.     

大转子延长截骨在THR术后感染一期翻修中的临床应用

评价大转子延长截骨并行单纯钢丝捆扎在人工髋关节置换（THR）术后感染一期翻修中的作用及对翻修假体的影响.选取2010年10月~2013年10月期间30例髋关节置换术后假体感染性松动并行一期翻修术的患者,随访时间（34.8＆#177;13.2）月,对患者手术时间、截骨长度和愈合时间、术前术后Harris评分及术后感染控制情况进行统计.30例患者髋关节术后评分明显高于术前,手术时间为（132.4＆#177;23.6）min,经大转子截骨长度为（11.4＆#177;2.6）cm,截骨愈合时间（3.8＆#177;1.3）个月.术后感染未见复发.因此THR术后感染的一期翻修术中应用大转子延长截骨方法能缩短手术时间,髋关节功能较术前明显改善.
