With the development of techniques and methods of medical researches, the ethic review of clinical research has become essential for healthy development of medical research. This article analyseds the practice of ethic reviews of research projects involving human subjects in our hospital and the difficulties in the process are discussed.

Objective To investigate the current situation of the use of standard medical terminologies in journal, and analysis the reasons and then find the solutions.Methods Through searching the WANFANG database, we selected the nonstandard and standard terms of 100 common medical terminologies as Search Words, all the fields as Search Options to trace articles in periodicals from Jan.2011 to Dec.2013.After getting the top ten ranked words, the rate of use of the standard terms was analyzed.Results Some journals still use nonstandard terms, standard terms were mixed up with nonstandard terms in all of the 100 medical terminologies.Conclusions More attention should be paid to the use of the standard medical terms in periodicals to unify and standardize the use of medical terms.

Animal experiment is indispensable for biomedicine research,and contributes much to the development of biomedicine.With the development of society and advance of human civilization,the welfare of experimental animals and ethical issues of animal researches are drawing extensive attention.The current study investigated the application of experimental animals in the hospital researches,explored the relationship between animal experiment and ethics of animal welfare,and analysed the status of ethics of animal welfare.Further it discussed how to strengthen ethical review of animal experiment so as to promote the ethics management of hospital researches.

Objective To investigate the infection of human parvovirus B19 in Suzhou voluntary blood donors under the current blood screening model. Methods A total of 893 blood donor samples from September to December 2022 were randomly collected. Samples were tested to determine the seroprevalence (anti-B19 IgG and IgM) of B19 antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), and B19 DNA of positive samples was further detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR) assay. Results Among 893 samples, the total seroprevalence of B19 antibody was 20.7% (185/893), with anti-B19 IgG and IgM positive rate at 19.4% (173/893) and 1.9% (17/893), respectively, showing significant difference (P<0.05). No difference in the positive rates of B19 IgG and IgM (20.1%, 1.5% vs 18.0%,2.6%) was noticed by gender(P>0.05). The prevalence of anti-B19 IgG statistically increased with age (P<0.05), while there was no difference in the prevalence of anti-B19 IgM (P>0.05). No statistical difference was not found in anti-B19 IgG and IgM samples among different blood groups. The anti-B19 IgG in repeated blood donors was higher than that in first-time donors(21.5% vs 15.9%)(P<0.05) while there was no difference in the positive rate of IgM antibodies (P>0.05). Three cases were found to be positive for B19 DNA in the B19 antibody positive samples, with the positive rate at 1.6%(3/185). Conclusion Although the prevalence of B19 infection in Suzhou was lower than that in other areas and was mostly past infection, there was still a certain proportion of persistent infection and acute infection, which posed the potential risk of blood transfusion transmission. Therefore, attention should be paid to blood transfusions, especially for the high-risk and susceptible groups.
