    Doctor-family-patient relationship: The Chinese paradigm of informed consent

    No full text
    Bioethics is a subject far removed from the Chinese, even from many Chinese medical students and medical professionals. In-depth interviews with eighteen physicians, patients, and family members provided a deeper understanding of bioethical practices in contemporary China, especially with regard to the doctor-patient relationship (DPR) and informed consent. The Chinese model of doctor-family-patient relationship (DFPR), instead of DPR, is taken to reflect Chinese Confucian cultural commitments. An examination of the history of Chinese culture and the profession of medicine in China is used to disclose the deep roots of these commitments. The author predicts that the DFPR model will further develop in China but that it will maintain its Chinese character.EthicsSocial Sciences, BiomedicalPubMedCPCI-SSH(ISSHP)SSCI4

    Spin-Crossover in Supramolecular Iron(II)-2,6-bis(1 H-Pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine Complexes: Toward Spin-State Switchable Single-Molecule Junctions

    Spin-crossover (SCO) active iron(II) complexes are an integral class of switchable and bistable molecular materials. Spin-state switching properties of the SCO complexes have been studied in the bulk and single-molecule levels to progress toward fabricating molecule-based switching and memory elements. Supramolecular SCO complexes featuring anchoring groups for metallic electrodes, for example, gold (Au), are ideal candidates to study spin-state switching at the single-molecule level. In this study, we report on the spin-state switching characteristics of supramolecular iron(II) complexes 1 and 2 composed of functional 4-([2,2′-bithiophen]-5-ylethynyl)-2,6-di(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (L1) and 4-(2-(5-(5-hexylthiophen-2-yl)thiophen-2-yl)ethynyl)-2,6-di(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (L2) ligands, respectively. Density functional theory (DFT) studies revealed stretching-induced spin-state switching in a molecular junction composed of complex 1, taken as a representative example, and gold electrodes. Single-molecule conductance traces revealed the unfavorable orientation of the complexes in the junctions to demonstrate the spin-state dependence of the conductance.QN/van der Zant La

    LOWER RANGE OF STRINGOCEPHALUS

    No full text
    The lower range of Stringocephalus around the world is considered within the Givetian under the SDS (Subcommission on Devonian Stratigraphy) newly proposed definition of the Eifelian/Givetian boundary. However, in a measured section at Liujing (Guangxi, China), in which conodonts and silicified brachiopods occur in the same samples, Stringocephalus occurs in a shelf-edge fauna in beds that yield conodonts diagnostic of the lower part of the ensensis Zone of the uppermost Eifelian.GeologySCI(E)0ARTICLE273-773

    Highly fluorescent supramolecular gels with chirality transcription through hydrogen bonding

    No full text
    A highly fluorescent organogel with transparency was formed through a hydrogen (H)-bonding interaction between a non. fluorescent and achiral 2-(3',5'-bis-trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-4-yl)-3-(4-pyridin-4-yl-phenyl)-acrylonitrile (CN-TFMBPPE) monomer and chiral sergeant L-tartaric acid (TA) (or D-TA), with gel formation being accompanied by a drastic fluorescence enhancement as well as chirality induction.
