天使之吻还是魔鬼之恋--对"医学整形美容热"的哲学困惑和价值存疑

当代医学罔顾主体深层危机和机制缺损,正危险地迎合着"造美风潮",从而使整形美容医学不断走向极端化,很值得理论医学界及时反思.医学应当履行"解社会之痛"之使命,而不能满足于"搔社会之瘁"."人工美女"的横空出世,是商业化炒作和恶俗化的医疗技术相结合的"尤物",是对医学核心价值体系的恣肆扭曲和嘲弄,更会引起哲学上的困惑和招致重大医学问题.     

医学与艺术:临床医学和医学人文学关系探索

医学与艺术是医学人文学研究的重要课题.医学与艺术有着广泛的联系,涉及对临床医学性质的争论,医学人文学对临床医学教育与实践的作用,艺术对医学的表现与理解,以及作为治疗康复手段的艺术.     

"人文解剖学"视野中的医学创伤与医疗干预

医学发展至今,一直是"征服疾病"的干预手段,这种干预有着扩展和泛化的趋势,逐渐由修复向替代发展.随着医学人文思想的逐步觉醒,"人文解剖学"的引入,人们开始对医疗干预,尤其是创伤干预进行了反思.微创医学的兴起,从三个方面给予这种过度干预以新的思考.由此而得到的启示是,医学需要两盏灯引路,一盏是职业和技术的灯,一盏是人文主义的灯.     

转化医学与肿瘤诊治

转化医学是促进基础研究成果向临床应用转化和根据临床医学的需求从事应用基础研究的桥梁。本文以转化医学在肿瘤防治研究的实例,分析转化医学的意义,以期为使大家重视转化医学,提高肿瘤诊治水平。     

中药及其提取物防治血管内皮细胞损伤的研究概况

血管内皮细胞衬覆于血管内膜表面,不仅是血液与血管壁之间的屏障,更是重要的内分泌和效应器官,内皮细胞损伤和功能障碍是动脉粥样硬化发生的启动步骤。近年来的研究表明,中药及其提取物对血管内皮细胞具有保护作用,因此对防治动脉粥样硬化相关疾病有重要的意义。     

肝癌基础研究如何向临床转化

肝癌基础研究在过去数十年取得了长足的进步,而肝癌临床研究则相对滞后,二者间存在巨大的反差。如何将基因组时代发现的大量有重要意义的基础研究成果及时有效地转化为临床可用的技术方法,以进一步提高肝癌治疗效果是亟待解决的难题。转化医学研究为其搭建了一条重要桥梁。     

护理执行用药医嘱的伦理学思考

护理人员在医疗机构推行临床合理用药的过程中承担着十分重要的任务。加强护理人员的道德教育,提高护理人员的素质,提高药物使用业务知识水平,提高与药物临床使用相关的护理技能,真正体现医疗机构推行的"以人为本"的护理理念,为患者的健康、康复负责。     

“Bodyheartminding” (Xin 心): Reconceiving the Inner Self and the Outer World in the Language of Holographic Focus and Field

In this essay, inspired by the somatic turn in philosophy initiated by Richard Shusterman, I want to invoke the language of classical Confucian philosophy to think through the best efforts of William James and John Dewey to escape the mind-body and nature-nurture dualisms—that is, to offer an alternative vocabulary that might lend further clarity to the revolutionary insights of James and Dewey by appealing to the processual categories of Chinese cosmology. What I will try to do first is to refocus the pragmatist’s explanation of the relationship between mind and body through the lens of a process Confucian cosmology. And then, to make the case for James and Dewey, I will return to the radical, imagistic language they invoke to try and make the argument that this processual, holistic understanding of “vital bodyminding” is in fact what they were trying to say all along.     

William James’ <Emphasis Type="Italic">The Varieties of Religious Experience</Emphasis> Revisited

This essay addresses the familial, religious, and cultural context for the writing and presentation of William James’ classic work The Varieties of Religious Experience. The essay emphasizes the importance of the impact of Henry James, Senior, upon his son. This relationship along with a severe cardiac condition contributed to James’ taking on and carrying through with his exploration of religious experience. The article explores The Varieties and concludes with a discussion of the importance of James’ use of narrative to the study of mind–body medicine. This paper was originally presented at the Richardson Research Seminar in the History of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College.     

The Difficulty of Making Psychology Research and Clinical Practice Relevant to Medicine: Experiences and Observations

Psychology and medicine research and practice have demonstrated substantial and unique bodies of knowledge designed to both improve patient care and respond to contemporary health care needs for use of evidence and cost consciousness. At their full potential they represent a significant paradigm shift in healthcare. Despite impressive successes, it is clear that we are just on the cusp of such a change. These findings have had limited impact and penetration into medical practice, particularly outside of academic medicine and large, organized systems of health care, and there are multiple examples of such limitations in various arenas of health care. There also appear to be common themes to such examples which provide us opportunities to consider how psychologists might move things ahead. They also suggest how our unique position in academic medicine can both limit our impact and provide ways of creating continued shifts in the healthcare paradigm. This paper is based in part on the author’s presentation at the Association of Psychologists in Academic Health Centers 3rd National Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota, May 2007.
