[Objective]To investigate the effect of surgical treatment of scapular fractures through posterior approach.[Method]From May 2000 to November 2007,14 patients(10 females,4 males;mean age 34.6 years)with scapular fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation through a posterior approach.Eight patients were injurred in traffic accidents,3 due to falling,2 by direct violence and 1 due to cut.There were eleven patients with close fractures and 3 with open fractures.According to Hardegger classification system,there were 8 cases of scapular body fracture,9 of scapular spine fracture,6 of scapular acromion,10 of scapular neck fracture,6 of glenoid rim fracture and 4 of glenoid fossa fracture.[Result]Fourteen patients were followed up,with a mean follow up time of 18 months.According to Rowe score system,10 patients showed an excellent result,2 showed a good result,the other two showed a fair result.[Conclusion]The posterior approach for fixing scapular fractures has advantages of wide exposure,safety,easy operation,and reliable effect.It is a choice of operation for most types of scapular fractures,especially for scapular body fracture,spina scapular fracture and scapular multiposition fracture.

Objective:Investigator Initiated Trials (IIT) play a key role in promoting comprehensively the development and homogeneity of clinical diagnosis and treatment, thus, this article aims to explore a set of recommendations for the construction and management of clinical research institutes that support IIT.Methods:Through the combination of literature review and institutional construction practice cases, based on the experience of domestic and foreign universities and well-functioning medical institutions in building clinical research centers, as well as summarizing the construction cases of the clinical research institute of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, to discuss the construction and management plan of such centers.Results:Propose recommendations for the construction and management standards of clinical research centers that support IIT, covering the principles of center construction, basic settings, organizational structure, functional departments, basic platforms, staffing, document management and institutional evaluation.Conclusions:We hope this study can provide reference to universities and medical institutions for the construction of the clinical research institute.

Effective supervision of the clinical research management department can guarantee and improve the quality of the investigator initiated trials(IIT). The authors analyzed relevant clinical research regulations and literature and summarized the current situation of risk-based IIT project process quality management. On such basis, they determined the risk-based IIT project process quality management method in combination with the previous research of the research group.From 2021 to 2022, this method was used to implement process quality management for 353 IIT projects in Shanghai′s tertiary hospitals. More than 3 000 risk points were identified through centralized supervision, and then on-site supervision was carried out to correct the problems found. As proven by the results, the method could find existing problems in time and define the risk level of the project, and also formulate an individualized risk supervision plan accordingly, so as to effectively ensure the data reliability and scientific results. It is suggested that the clinical research management department implement risk based management for the whole process of IIT projects, increase funding and staffing, and implement hierarchical management for the projects by research types, so as to promote the sustainable development of IITs.
