- Abstract：To conform to the college English teaching reform from English for General Purposes （EGP） to English for Academic Purposes （EAP） in the vital transfer era, the Foreign Language Department of Second Military Medical University （SMMU） launched an English for Medical Academic Purpose （EMAP） curriculum with English Forum on Medical Humanities （EFMH）, a project-based teaching practice. Based on Rogers’ learner-centered humanistic teaching approach which emphasizes students’ involvement and experiences in learning, EFMH puts students and their practice in a central place. After four-year exploration and operation, the Forum has developed from a small-scaled embryo into an internationalized, standardized and professionalized event, having produced fruitful outcomes. It is expected that the success of EFMH will provide inspiring experiences and enlightenments for higher medical education in terms of academic English teaching and teachers’ responsibilities to foster high-quality medical students.2|52|2Updated：2026-03-12
- Abstract：The development of the heart-lung machine made repair of intracardiac lesions possible. One of the key requirements of the heart-lung machine was anticoagulation. Heparin was discovered by a medical student, Jay McLean, working in the laboratory of Dr. William Howell at Johns Hopkins. John Gibbon contributed more to the successful development of the heart-lung machine than anyone else. His interest began as a young doctor since 1930s. Gibbon’s work on the heart-lung machine took place over the next 20 years in laboratories at Massachusetts General Hospital, the University of Pennsylvania, and Thomas Jefferson University. In 1937, he reported the first successful demonstration that life could be maintained by an artificial heart and lung, and the native heart and lungs could resume function. After World War Ⅱ, Dr. Gibbon resumed his work and received support from IBM to build a heart-lung machine on a more sophisticated scale. Eventually, the team developed a larger oxygenator that the IBM engineers incorporated into a new machine. On May 6, 1953, Dr. Gibbon performed the first successful operation using an extracorporeal circuit on an 18-year-old girl with a large atrial septa1 defect. It wasn’t until 1958, when a system that involved bubbling blood was perfected, that "heart-lung" machines came of age. Despite so many chill winds and cold rains, "heart-lung" machine, the budding rose of surgery, was eventually blossom brightly in the radiant rays of sunlight. John Gibbon’s dream had become a reality. His work serves as an important example to surgeons who are struggling today with the surgical therapies and technologies of tomorrow.2|22|0Updated：2026-03-12

- Abstract：Exactly how can we become a successful doctor in the future? It has been widely accepted that chasing perfection in our field of expertise alone is not enough. Here in China, doctors have the liability to do more. Chinese doctors are relatively more prone to confronting difficult situations in a more complex manner. Therefore, the humanity factor in medical practice is discussed, and some essential communication skills are suggested for medical practitioners, with heartfelt anticipation for a better medical environment as well as a more pleasant Doctor-Patient relationship.2|30|1Updated：2026-03-12
- Abstract：If a patient is dying and still suffering great pain, what is the least harmful alternative? Here we prefer continuous sedation until death （CSD）. CSD differs from physician-assisted death （PAD） in many aspects. Firstly, CSD is not used to shorten life or cause death, but instead its intention is to relieve suffering. Secondly, once CSD is associated with a reduction in or suspension of food intake, the duration of sedation is too short to have an impact on survival rate. Thirdly, CSD is titrated while PAD is often overdosed. Fourthly, the sanctity of life could be maintained since sedation is used merely as a means of quelling suffering. Last but no least, for unconscious patients, the same medicines are frequently used for both palliative sedation and standard surgical procedures.2|9|0Updated：2026-03-12
- Abstract：We make some efforts to find some connections between religion and medical science. Medical science can be regarded as sacred and holy as a religion for doctors to believe. The common points between them are the basis to successfully integrate them into doctors’ faith. Furthermore, we explain that doctors need a faith to believe so as to meet the demand of humanitarian traits we should have and to do better in the scientific work and win in the battles with the diseases.2|26|0Updated：2026-03-12

- Abstract：A questionnaire research in ethics was conducted to get the view of students of medical universities in Shanghai on genomics and genetic discrimination. We find that 66% respondents indicated their willingness to understand the genetic information and 79% of respondents mind their own genetic information be aware of by other people. In contrast, 77% of the respondents believe that medical organization are not able to protect personal genetic information from disclose. Hence, it is significant to take some measures to preserve citizen’s genetic information privacy. Depending on our results, we put forward our suggestion to this problem.2|15|1Updated：2026-03-12
