Investigation and Strategic Analysis of Family Barriers to Organ Donation in China.

Background: Families play a prominent role in the eventual organ donation decision. Because the deceased cannot directly express their wishes, their families become the actual decision makers. In China, families are permitted to make decisions regarding organ donation that may not be in accordance with the wishes of the deceased family member, and objections by families are a main bottleneck in the donation process.

Anti-Myocardial Infarction Effects of Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata Extracts and Their Influence on Small Molecules in the Heart Using Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Mass Spectrometry Imaging.

Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata (fuzi) is the processed product of Debeaux tuber, and has great potential anti-myocardial infarction effects, including improving myocardial damage and energy metabolism in rats. However, the effects of Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata extracts in a rat model of myocardial infarction have not yet been fully illustrated. Herein, Radix Aconiti Lateral Preparata was used to prepare Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata extract (RAE), fuzi polysaccharides (FPS), and fuzi total alkaloid (FTA).
