FETAL DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY

《胚胎诊断与治疗》是第一本关注胎儿作为患者的杂志，它为众多生物医学专家提供了独特的单一来源的报告，旨在改善和/或预防先天性畸形。最初的论文涵盖了基础研究和临床调查的所有方面的胎儿诊断导致治疗，包括相关的技术进步和程序。该杂志强调在一个相对较新的领域展示实验治疗方案和记录早期临床经验，注定将在未来的研究中发挥重要作用，包括干细胞和子宫内基因治疗等领域。此外，还注意到宫内干预所涉及的有争议的道德和伦理问题、胎儿的法律权利和胎儿行为的新概念。

The first journal to focus on the fetus as a patient, ?Fetal Diagnosis and Therapyí provides a wide range of biomedical specialists with a unique single source of reports aimed at ameliorating and/or preventing congenital abnormalities. Original papers cover both basic research and clinical investigations into all aspects of fetal diagnosis leading to therapy, including relevant technical advances and procedures. With its emphasis on presenting experimental treatment protocols and recording early clinical experiences in a comparatively new field, the journal is destined to play a major role in setting the pace for future study including areas such as stem cell and gene therapy in utero. Attention is also given to the controversial moral and ethical issues involved in intrauterine intervention, the legal rights of the fetus and new concepts of fetal behaviour.
