2.A study on the transformation of scientific research function for medical institutions
Chinese Journal of Medical Science Research Management 2015;28(5):366-370
Objective To analyze the transformation of the function of research management department in medical institutions based on the knowledge management.Methods The value chain is introduced to portray the functions of research management department, and a survey is employed to collect existing problems in research management.Results Lack of knowledge management is main reason that limits the research development in medical institutions.Conclusions It is very important to re define the strategy for conducting the research in the medical institutions and to improve the knowledge management in those medical institutions.

Many specific therapeutic antibody drugs have been developed for different indications. In drug development, it has been found that the antibody isotype framework can not only affect the physical and chemical properties of therapeutic antibodies, but also influence the activity and therapeutic effect. As a result, IgG isotype selection should be considered carefully in antibody drug development strategies. Because of the unique biological characteristics, IgG4 isotype has been used in some therapeutic antibodies for which effector functions are not desired. In order to provide new ideas for the development of antibody drugs, the research and application progress of IgG4 isotype in therapeutic antibody drug development has been reviewed.

Objective To investigate the serum calcium absorption level ,distribution level and nutritional status of 25‐hydroxy vitamin D and parathyroid hormone (PT H ) in pregnant and puerperal women .Methods A total of 740 healthy pregnant women and puerperal women in the perinatal clinic of our hospital from September 2014 to August 2015 were recruited as the observation group and divided into second trimester group ,third trimester group and puerperal group .Contemporaneous 100 healthy non‐preg‐nant women were chosen as the control group .The levels of serum 25‐hydroxy vitamin D and PTH in all research subjects were de‐tected by using the electrochemiluminescence method .Then the differences of detection results were compared among various groups .Results The serum 25‐hydroxy vitamin D level was (57 .9 ± 18 .2)nmol/L in the second trimester group ,(39 .4 ± 15 .0) nmol/L in the third trimester group ,(65 .1 ± 19 .6)nmol/L in the puerperal group and (78 .6 ± 16 .2)nmol/L in the control group , the differences among groups were statistically significant (P<0 .05) .The serum PTH level in the third trimester group was higher than that in the second trimester group ,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .Serum calci‐um ,magnesium and alkaline phosphatase levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group with statistical‐ly significant (P<0 .05) .Conclusion Pregnant and puerperal women usually have low levels of calcium and magnesium ,and 25‐hy‐droxy vitamin D deficiency .It is necessary to supply vitamin D and other mineral elements when taking calcium supplement .

miRNA is a kind of endogenous non-coding short RNA. Mature miRNA was formed through the process of shearing and transporting after genetic transcription. miRNA exhibits many important biological functions through regulating expression and translation of target mRNAs. Different miRNAs may act as oncogenes or antioncogenes, and have tissue specificity. The progress of the tumorigenesis is usually accompanied by expression-profile changes of miRNAs. MiRNA regulates many tumor biological behaviors such as differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, metastasis, and drug resistance of tumors. Furthermore, some miRNAs have clinical significance in predicting prognosis of tumor patients.

Objective:To analyze the rationality of off-label drug use in nephritic syndrome prescriptions to provide scientific basis for clinical rational drug use and further regulate the off-label drug use in our hospital. Methods:Totally 1 908 outpatient prescriptions of nephritic syndrome selected from our hospital during November 2014 to April 2015 were analyzed, and all the off-label drugs were listed . The rationality of the off-label drug use was analyzed and evaluated by searching the related kidney disease guidelines and litera-tures. Results:The off-label drug use of tacrolimus capsules, mycophenolate mofetil capsules, cyclophosphamide for injection, ciclos-porin soft capsules, dipyridamole tablets, hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablets and warfarin sodium tablets were recommended by domes-tic and overseas guidelines with better evidence of evidence-based medicines. Tripterygium glycosides tablets and leflunomide tablets were supported by the literatures on clinical studies at home and abroad. The above 9 kinds of off-label drugs were rational drug use. Lumbrokinase enteric-coated capsules, salvia miltiorrhiza and ligustrazine injection and pidotimod dispersible tablets were reported only by a handful of journals. Bacteria lysate capsules and boric acid powder had no related information support, which belonged to the em-pirical prescriptions of physicians. The above 5 kinds of off-label drugs were not rational drug use. Conclusion:It is a widely existing phenomenon that the medication in nephrotic syndrome is beyond the instruction, the most of off-label drug use are reasonable, and cli-nicians should prescribe medicines carefully. Our hospital needs to further standardize the management of off-label drug use supported by higher evidence in order to improve the level of clinical rational drug use and the reasonable rate of prescriptions.
