Conducting ethical review of investigator-initiated trials （IIT） is one of the important links to ensure the quality of research projects. Currently， the quality of ethical review for IIT projects is greatly influenced by the personal factors of committee members， which to some extent affects the ethical review committee’s judgments of research risks and benefits. Based on the previously developed Risk-Benefit Assessment Scale for Clinical Research， this paper established an ethical review decision-making pathway based on risk-benefit assessment， that is， proposed the “four-step method” for ethical review risk-benefit assessment， including evaluating the research benefits， assessing the research risks， constructing a risk-benefit matrix， and establishing an ethical review pathway. The “four-step method” helps to reduce the impact of committee members’ subjective/intuitive judgments on the quality of ethical review， assists in promoting the implementation of multi-center ethical review policy， narrows the gap in the quality of ethical review among different medical institutions， and provides clearer guidance for the risk judgments of scientific research management and ethical review departments.

This paper elaborated the structural principles,structures and working principles of the A5 type passive training system for hand function through discussed the clinical application of passive training system for hand function in the rehabilitation of patients with stroke.It analyzed a series of occurring common faults during system operation,such as system errors caused by missing components,improper sensitivity settings for spasticity,abnormal connections for equipment,motor failures,jam and pause of robotic hand,and faults of lifting table,and conducted fault analysis for them.After that,this paper proposed corresponding handling strategies and solutions for faults,which included software configuration,calibration and detection of robotic hand sensors,repair of connection fault,and regular maintenance and replacement of system's components.It provided theoretical basis for the maintenance and optimization of the passive training system for hand function.Thus,it can rapid remove troubles,and reduce the equipment's failure rate of passive training system for hand function,and improve the equipment's normal utilization rate,and ensure favorable performance of equipment in long-term use.

Objective:The aim is to construct an evaluation framework for clinical research benefits,and provide a reference for the formulate of evaluation standards for clinical research benefits.Methods:The Delphi method was used to carry out expert consultation,and the mean,score of importance,coefficient of variation and coordination,etc.of evaluation indicators were summarized and calculated,to screen evaluation indicators for clinical research benefits.Results:Twenty-three experts in this field were selected for correspondence,and their enthusiasm was 100%in both rounds,the authority coefficients were≥0.90,and Kendall's coefficients of concordance were<0.25(P<0.001).By referring to the mean and coefficient of variation of the indicators,as well as combining them with expert suggestions,an evaluation framework for clinical research benefits was ultimately formed with 2 primary indicators,5 secondary indicators,and 8 tertiary indicators.Conclusion:The evaluation framework for clinical research benefits constructed in this paper can comprehensively evaluate the research benefits,as well as provide a basis for reasonably determining the research risk-benefit ratio and developing quantitative evaluation tools for clinical research benefits.
