The Evolution of Morality

Here, in textbook style, is a concise biological account of the evolution of morality. It addresses morality on three levels: moral outcomes (behavioral genetics), moral motivation or intent (psychology and neurology), and moral systems (sociality). The rationale for teaching this material is addressed in Allchin (2009). Classroom resources (including accompanying images and video links) and a discussion of teaching strategies are provided online at: http://EvolutionOfMorality.net.

老年人冠状动脉狭窄程度与超敏C反应蛋白及脂蛋白(a)水平的研究

目的:探讨老年人冠脉狭窄程度与超敏C反应蛋白(hs-CRP)及脂蛋白(a()LP(a))水平的关系。方法:分析研究260例年龄>60岁的经行冠脉造影检查明确诊断冠心病的患者的冠脉狭窄程度,以及术前空腹采血测定其hs-CRP及LP(a)的水平。结果:①冠脉病变组(186例)与对照组(76例)比较,冠脉病变组Lp(a)和hs-CRP水平分别为(3.30±4.30)mg/L和(146.30±3.21)mg/L,对照组分别为(1.32±2.32)mg/L和(40.26±2.44)mg/L,二者存在差别(P<0.01),差别有统计学意义。②各个亚组病与对照组比较各亚组(单支病变组、双支病变组、三支病变组)hs-CRP和LP(a)与对照组相比较存在明显差异,单支病变组51例,双支病变组72例,三支病变组63例。单支病变组hs-CRP和Lp(a)水平分别为(2.11±1.31)mg/L和(41.58±2.32)mg/L,双支病变组分别为(2.97±2.11)mg/L和(47.12±1.21)mg/L,三支病变组分别为(3.42±2.16)mg/L和(60.13±3.54)mg/L,P<0.05,差别有统计学意义,且随着病变支数的增加,hs-CRP和LP(a)呈增高趋势。并行单因素相关分析,hs-CRP和LP(a)与冠脉病变支数有正相关关系(P<0.05)。③男性病变组(107例)和女性病变组(79例),男性组hs-CRP和LP(a)水平分别为(1.87±2.11)mg/L和(43.60±2.18)mg/L,女性病变组hs-CRP和LP(a)水平分别为(3.33±1.70)mg/L和(50.77±2.47)mg/L,二者存在差别,P>0.05,差别无统计学意义。结论:老年人冠脉狭窄程度与血清Lp(a)和hs-CRP水平变密切相关,呈正相关,老年男性冠心病患者与女性冠心病患者相比,血清Lp(a)和hs-CRP水平无显著差异。
