Objective To investigate the effect of C-erbB-2 shRNA on chemosensitivity of mouse lung adenocarcinoma cells and its mechanism,and to find new therapy method for non-small cell lung cancer,especial lung adenocarcinoma.Methods The mouse lung adenocarcinoma Lewis cells were cultured regularly and divided into non-transfected group, pGPU6/RFP/Neo-shNC group and pGPU6/RFP/Neo-erbB-2 group. The plasmids were synthesized and transfected into Lewis cells in each group by Lipofectamine 2000.The expression levels of C-erbB-2 mRNA and protein in the cells in various groups were tested by RT-PCR and Western blotting method, respectively. The Lewis cells were divided into non- transfected group, pGPU6/RFP/Neo-shNC group, carboplatin group, pGPU6/RFP/Neo-erbB-2 group, pGPU6/RFP/Neo-shNC+carboplatin group and pGPU6/RFP/Neo-erbB-2+ carboplatin group. The apoptotic rates of the cells in each group were detected by flow cytometry;the expression levels of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins in each group were determined by Western blotting method.Results The expression levels of C-erbB-2 mRNA and protein in pGPU6/RFP/Neo-erbB-2 group were lower than those in non-transfected group and pGPU6/RFP/Neo-shNC.The apoptotic rate of the cells in pGPU6/RFP/Neo-erbB-2+carboplatin group was the highest in all of the groups (P<0.01);compared with the others, the expression of Bax protein in pGPU6/RFP/Neo-erbB-2+carboplatin group was increased, while the expression level of Bcl-2 protein was decreased.Conclusion C-erbB-2 shRNA can increase the Lewis cells’sensitivity to carboplatin.The mechanism may be that it can enhance the Lewis cells’apoptosis induced by carboplatin through increasing the expression of Bax protein and decreasing the expression of Bcl-2 protein.

OBJECTIVE: To provide references for improving the standard operating procedures of drug management in clinical trials and drug management in clinical trials. METHODS: According to Good Clinical Practice (GCP), Data On-site Verification Points of Drugs Clinical Trial, Qualification Examination Rules of Drug Clinical Trial Institution, based on the quality control project carried out in our hospital since July 2016, the matters needing attention in the non-standard operation and key process of drug management in clinical trial were summarized, and the improvement measures were discussed. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: Non-standard drug management is a high-incidence link of non-standard operation in the trial process. Among them, the acceptance, distribution and use of drugs are the three links with the highest incidence of non-standard operation of drug management in the trial process. Therefore, when formulating the relevant management system, each institution should pay attention to it according to its own situation; such as, when accepting drugs in clinical trials, attention should be paid to checking the intact degree of drug packaging; drugs transported in cold chain should also be checked for temperature records and rejected in case of over-temperature; the copies of the waybill should be kept in file with the original to avoid fading of the thermosensitive paper; whether the relevant characteristics of the control drugs and placebos meet the requirements. Institutions can standardize the key links of drug management in the trial process, the time of project establishment, project start-up, quality control and supervision, formulate and constantly improve the relevant drug management system and standard operating procedures (SOP). For example, when starting a project, attention should be paid to the participation of drug administrators in the training and signature of start-up meeting, whether the design of the form is complete, standardized and operable. It is necessary for clinical trial institutions to pay attention to the standardization and precision of drug management and the key links in clinical trials.

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for improving the relevant standard operating procedures (SOP) and biological sample management in drug clinical trials. METHODS According to Good Clinical Practice, Data On-site Verification Points of Drugs Clinical Trials, Human Genetic Resources Management Regulations Implementation Rules, Qualification Examination Rules of Drug Clinical Trials Institution, based on the experience of managing clinical trials programs, the irregularities in biological samples management were analyzed by using statistical quality control tables and protocol deviation (PD) reported by sponsors, in the context of the quality control of drug clinical trials projects managed by the author from July 2016 to May 2023. The precautions in various aspects of sample management were put forward. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS A total of 101 biospecimen- related irregularities were found in the 60 drug clinical trials projects. Biological sample collection, preservation, and handling were the aspects with the highest incidence of irregular operations in biological sample management, accounting for 37.62%, 25.74%, and 21.78%, respectively. Regulating the management of biospecimens requires multiple efforts. The institutional office and the ethics committee carefully reviewed the consistency of the protocols, informed consent, and genetic office application involving biospecimen collection and handling when the project was initiated. Institutional office quality controllers should pay attention to the attendance and training of authorized personnel at project initiation. The principal investigator, research nurse, collector, handler, transporter, relevant personnel of the central laboratory, and institutional office quality controller have their roles during the project implementation phase. On this basis, all parties involved in the management of biological samples should do a good job of effective communication, find problems and report them in time, and conduct special studies on key aspects.

OBJECTIVE To learn the common proto col deviation (PD)in the process of drug clinical trials and discuss the methods and precautions for preventing and reducing PD so as to provide reference for the standardization of drug clinical trials. METHODS According to Good Clinical Practice ,Notice on Issuing Guidelines for Planning and Reporting of Data Management and Statistical Analysis of Drug Clinical Trials ,Guidelines for Ethical Review of Drug Clinical Trials ,ICH E 3,ICH E 6(R2)and other regulations ,the PD reported in the relevant projects managed by the author from March 2017 to February 2022,as well as the PD found in the submission materials and project quality control ,were sorted out and statistically analyzed. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS A total of 39 drug clinical trials were included ,and 212 subjects were selected. In all projects ,258 PDs were reported,including 28 major PD (accounting for 10.85%)and 230 ordinary PD (accounting for 89.15%). The report of PD mainly included missed inspections/tests (93 reports,accounting for 36.05%),lack of visits (36 reports,accounting for 13.95%), inspection/testing out-of-window (29 reports,accounting for 11.24%),dosage and usage of test drugs (28 reports,accounting for 10.85%),drug over-temperature/missing temperature (21 reports,accounting for 8.14%),etc. Avoiding and reducing the occurrence of PD requires the efforts of multiple parties :the sponsor designs a reasonable protocol with appropriate interview rate and window period after listening to the opinions of multiple parties ;the investigators and clinical research coordinator should strengthen their own learning and training ,and be familiar with the protocol ,Good Clinical Practice and corresponding regulations;the compliance education of the subjects should be strengthened ;the institutional offices and ethics committees should conduct multi-angle and whole-process supervision and management when a drug clinical trial is approved ,in progress ,and jsyj- concluded,to ensure the safety rights and interests of the zdcxX0079) subjects and the quality of clinical trials. On this basis ,all parties should communicate effectively and timely ,report PD in time ,and conduct special studies on major PD that have com occurred and key links that are prone to PD.
