Immunoinflammation mediates the development of hypertensive nephropathy,and aberrant activation of the complement system,an important component of the innate immune system,plays an important role in the development of hypertensive nephropathy.Complement inhibition is expected to be a potential strategy for the treatment of hypertensive nephropathy.In this article,we summarized and reviewed relevant studies on the complement system in the development of hypertensive nephropathy,and complement-targeted drug therapy,aiming to provide new ideas for clinicians on the clinical diagnosis and treatment of hypertensive nephropathy.

The number of investigator-initiated trials(IIT)projects in medical institutions has increased rapidly,yet there are certain issues such as uneven quality and insufficient consideration of research design.The scientific review and ethical review of IIT complement each other.To improve the research quality and review efficiency of IIT and reduce review repeatability,this paper described the current situation of scientific review and ethical review of IIT in a tertiary A hospital.Combined with literature analysis,the common issues in scientific review and ethical review were summarized into four types:standardization,reliability,safety,and lag.Corresponding to these common issues,the reasons for their occurrence were analyzed as the lack of unified review points,the ambiguity of each review focus,the lack of review communication and exchange,and the lack of ability and awareness of relevant personnel.The explored solutions included establishing a collaborative review mechanism,by unifying the key points of collaborative review,clarifying the review responsibilities of each committee,building a review communication mechanism with the help of information technology,strengthening training and publicity,and other means.These solutions aimed to promote the organic combination of scientific review and ethical review,fully leverage the synergistic effect,improve the efficiency of review,and promote the high-quality and healthy development of IIT.

Objective:This study aims to improve the management level and quality of horizontal scientific research contracts in hospitals, reduce the risk of contract management, and explore an efficient mode of information management of horizontal scientific research contract management.Methods:Taking a Tertiary Grade A hospital as an example, this study described and summarized the management status of horizontal scientific research contracts from 2018 to 2022, sorted out the potential risks and prevention and control nodes of the review, signing, performance, and archiving of horizontal scientific research contracts in the whole cycle management process, and designed an information management model according to the relevant elements of risk prevention and control and the standardized requirements of contract management, thereby developing information platform related functions.Results:The horizontal research contract management function of the clinical research platform based on the integration concept was available to meet the requirements of risk prevention and control of horizontal research contracts, and the contract review and signing cycle of the information management mode was shortened by 33.33% and 31.95% respectively compared with the traditional management mode. The platform realized a standardized whole process management of contract submission, review, repair and revision, signing, performance, and filing.Conclusions:Information management can effectively reduce the risk of horizontal scientific research contract management. It is necessary to strengthen the docking and interaction function with other information platforms and further explore the information auxiliary function to improve the refined management effect of horizontal scientific research contracts.

Objective:To explore the management strategies of conflicts of interest(COI) by analyzing the definition, manifestations, and implications of COI related to clinical research.Methods:This study summarized the definitions and types, manifestations, and implications of different groups of COI in clinical research. It explored the management response of medical institutions to the COI related to clinical research.Results:Conflicts of Interest could be divided into economic and non-economic conflicts of interest, showing different manifestations in different groups. COI occurs in a variety of links involved in clinical research, and the overall disclosure ratio of COI is low, which might have adverse effects on institutions, investigators, clinical research quality, and subjects.Conclusions:COI management should be implemented by strengthening the construction of the COI management system, strictly following the principle of public disclosure, and strengthening education and training, to improve the quality and credibility of clinical research.

Objective To investigate the population composition,seasonal dynamics,and infestation levels of cockroaches in Lanzhou,China,and to provide information for the scientific development of cockroach control strategies.Methods Monitoring was conducted at three locations using the sticky trap method.Habitats included farm product markets,catering establishments,hotels,hospitals,and residential areas.Results From 2016 to 2023,the average cockroach density was 0.77 insects per board,with an average infestation rate of 10.84%.Blattella germanica was the dominant species.Seasonal density of cockroaches showed an approximately unimodal distribution,peaking in September.The highest average density and infestation rates were observed in farm product markets.Conclusions Cockroach density and infestation levels in Lanzhou remained relatively low.A comprehensive prevention and control strategy focusing on environmental management in key areas should be implemented according to the seasonal fluctuations.

Objective:To assess the current situation, advantages, and difficulties of standardized management in Investigator-Initiated Clinical Trials (IIT).Methods:This article summarized the requirements and policies for clinical research management, the development of clinical research domestically and internationally, the achievements and advantages of clinical research management development in China, and the main problems and difficulties with the standardized IIT management in China, and compiled the experiences and models of several medical institutions in IIT management.Results:While China has a large number of clinical medical publications and is ranked high in the world, the quality of the publications needs to be further improved. Domestic management requirements for IIT were gradually improving, providing a basis for medical institutions to implement standardized management throughout the lifecycle of IIT, and achieve certain progress. However, there were still challenges in the departmental divisions, the unification of management standards, whole-process management and quality control, the scientific review, high-risk project management, and registration.Conclusions:Drawing on the excellent experience of domestic medical institutions, measures including identifying a primary responsible department, establishing unified supervision and inspection standards, and implementing a whole life cycle management may help overcome the challenges in IIT management and improve the quality and efficiency of IIT management.
