Objective To understand the distribution of medicine related Beijing key laboratories.Methods Based on the lists of Beijing key laboratories published by Beijing Municipal Commission of Science and Technology between 2010 and 2012,the number and supporting organizations of medicine related Beijing key laboratories were analyzed and compared with the state key laboratories in medical field.Results Among 265 Beijing key laboratories,92 (34.7％) were related to medicine.In the 92 medicine related laboratories,43 (46.7％) were supported by hospitals,24 (26.1％) were supported by research institutes,17 (18.5％) were supported by universities,and 6 (6.5％) were supported by companies.Conclusions Although the supporting organizations are various,medical institutions are the main supporting organizations of medicine related Beijing key laboratories.

As human subject protection become more and more significant in China,it' s imperative for China to learn more experiences from U.S for which developed a normative and well designed HRPP system during past decades.In this article,we gave a brief introduction of the Human Subject Protection Program at Duke University to help us have a better understanding of the HRPP at institutional level.After which we have further discussion of the status quo and challenges facing in HRPP construction in China,especially,Peking University as an example.

Translational medicine appears as a new branch of medicine, aiming at quickly transforming the basic research products into clinical application. Nowadays there is a trend that laboratory researches do not have a close relationship with clinical reality, which is facing the present medical research and education field. Herein translational medicine appeared to solve this fundamental conflict.In this paper, we will analyze the essence and status quo of translational medicine, and provide suggestion on the development of translational medicine from the perspective of medical research management.

Research collaboration and interdisciplinary integration is anecessary trend of the development of science and technology,and is especially true in biomedical field.This paper describes the interdisciplinary practice of the projects at Peking University Health Science Center in recent years.Problems and the efficiency of the management is also analysed.

Objective To understand the current situation of scientific and technical innovation bases about medcine in China,provide evidence for further policy-making and reforming.Methods Based on the information from websites and the lists of laboratory evaluation,analyzed the types,research fields and the supporting units of these bases.Results Among the 347 bases,there were 160 national level bases and 187 ministerial-level bases.In terms of the research areas,clinical medicine accounted for 34.9 ％,pharmaceutical sciences accounted for 26.5 ％,basic medicine / biology accoun ted for 20.5％,public health accounted for 8.1％,translational medicine accounted for 1.4 ％,medical equipment accounted for 1.4％ and medical materials accounted for 0.9％.About 95.4％ of bases were supported by single unit.Conclusions The research areas of medicine related scientific and technical innovation bases are unbalanced,and the number of industry-university-research cooperation bases is quite small.The government should strengthen the top-level design and optimize the layout.
