Objective To identify the differences inneuropsychological characteristics between amnestic(AMCI)and vascular mild cognitive impairment(VMCI).Methods Totally 297 old community residents with mild cognitive impairment(MCI)were divided into amnestic MCI(AMCI)and vascular MCI(VMCI)subgroup from Guangzhou MCI prevalence survey.The elderly with MCI were interviewed and tested with the Chinese version of Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA),the Mini-Mental state examination(MMSE),Auditory Verbal Learning Test(AVLT),the Clinical Dementia Rating scale(CDR),Functional Activity Questionnaire(FAQ),the Modified Hachinski Ischemic Scale(M-HIS),Center for Epidemiologic Studies(CES-DC)to evaluate neuropsychological characteristics.Results AMCI versus VMCI group showed that the total scores of MoCA were(9.63±5.17 vs.9.98±6.02),total scores of MMSE were(16.90±4.84 vs.16.90±6.19),AVLT immediate memory was(2.35±1.39 vs.2.91±1.84),AVLT delayed recall was(2.23±2.09 vs.2.47±2.20),AVLT delayed recognition was(7.33±3.98 vs.6.85±4.02)and total scores of CDR(0.5 vs.0.5),with no differences between the 2 groups(all P>0.05).Based on MoCA survey,AMCI versus VMCI group showed statistically significant differences(all P<0.05)in parameters of visual space and execution(0.71±1.02 vs.0.92±1.26),language function(0.34±0.56 vs.0.50±0.80)and abstract thinking(0.25±0.49 vs.0.15±0.43),but based on MMSE survey,no difference was found in the various cognitive domains between the two groups.The AMCI versus VMCI group showed statistically significant differences(all P<0.05)in parameters of CES-DC scale(1.75±4.27 vs.2.76±6.72),FAQ scale(4.42±4.66 vs.8.71±7.03),M-HIS scale(0.40±0.64 vs.7.59±3.53).Conclusions There is no significant difference in general cognitive impairment between AMCI and VMCI,but the visual space and execution,language function are more impaired in AMCI than VMCI,and the abstract thinking,social function are more impaired with more depressive symptoms in VMCI than in AMCI.

Objective:This study is to understand the hot spots and trends in the recruitment of clinical trial subjects in China over the past 20 years, explore the existing problems and countermeasures, and provide scientific ideas for domestic clinical trial institutions to effectively solve the problem of subject recruitment.Methods:Bibliometric analysis was used to study the relevant literature from three major domestic databases from 2001 to 2021, analyzing key indicators such as annual publication volume, journal distribution, institutional distribution, regional distribution, and high-frequency keyword co-occurrence.Results:A total of 162 articles were selected. The results showed that the overall publication volume in this field showed an upward trend, and the research institutions were diversified, with a concentration of medical and pharmaceutical institutions and universities. The current research hotspots in this field focused on quality and efficiency improvement of subject recruitment, with themes of subject protection, ethical review, regulation development, standardized management, etc.Conclusions:The research in this field has made significant progress, but the overall research level is still relatively weak. Therefore, it is suggested that the country should play a role in macro-regulation, on the one hand, starting with top-level design, promoting the construction of a standardized management system for subject recruitment, continuously strengthening subject protection, and enhancing the effectiveness of scientific recruitment. On the other hand, releasing the potential of grassroots institutions and giving full play to the volume advantage by promoting the sinking of advantageous resources. Meanwhile, great importance should be attached to the development of Phase I clinical trials, giving full play to the strong internal energy of traditional medicine and promoting the development of Chinese traditional medicine. These multi-measures should provide a theoretical basis for exploring the transformation of ′clinical research hospitals′, and promote the high-quality development of new drug research and development in China.

Strengthening clinical research is an inevitable requirement for expediting the development of the medical and healthcare services, as well as enhancing the capability of the hospitals in China. On the basis of sufficient argumentation of the significance and the internal and external environment of developing clinical research according to structure-conduct-performance analysis model, Henan Cancer Hospital set the aim of transforming from clinical hospital to clinical research hospital. By constructing a high-level phase Ⅰ clinical trials center, establishing the department of clinical research management, promoting the collaborative innovation and cooperation among medical institutions, research institutions, and enterprises, and developing the accessory clinical trial management system, Henan Cancer Hospital has turned abundant patient resources into advantages of clinical research. The quality and quantity of clinical trials have been elevated significantly, which could provide strong impetus for hospital′s discipline construction and high-quality development.

Promoting the transformation and development of public hospitals into clinical research-oriented hospitals is the necessary way for China to deepen the reform of medicine and health system. In August 2019, Henan Cancer Hospital deeply combined the key elements of clinical research management with the concept of multidisciplinary collaborative governance, created an offline operating end of collaborative governance (including the front collaborative recruitment system, the middle collaborative quality management system, and the terminal collaborative transformation system), built a supporting internet plus intelligent auxiliary end (including the intelligent recruitment manager, the intelligent quality manager and the intelligent transformation manager), and built a clinical research intelligent management mode covering the trinity of subject recruitment, clinical research quality control, and innovation achievements transformation. The hospital focused on management elements such as " focusing on quality, improving efficiency, and increasing motivation" , and drove the front, middle, and terminal ends of the model to work together, to ensure the quality and efficiency of clinical research and achieve a comprehensive improvement in the hospital′s clinical research level. As of December 2023, the hospital had undertaken over 2 000 clinical research projects of various types, with a cumulative amount of clinical research conversion contracts exceeding 53 million yuan. This practice had achieved good results and could provided references for other tertiary public hospitals to promote high-quality development of clinical research.
