METHODS Initiated by PIVAS Group， Hospital Pharmacy Professional Committee， Shanghai Pharmaceutical Association， jointly led by Longhua Hospital， Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Shanghai Geriatric Medical Center， a writing group was established by PIVAS experts from multiple medical institutions to discuss the basic requirements and dispensing process of intravenous infusion drugs for clinical trials in PIVAS. The experts from the leading unit sorted out， summarized， analyzed， fed back and revised the opinions， and finally reached Expert Consensus on Dispensing Management of Intravenous Infusion Drugs for Clinical Trials in PIVAS. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The main contents of this consensus include information management， operation process， fund management and document management of intravenous infusion drugs for clinical trials in PIVAS. This consensus establishes a more standardized model for dispensing management of intravenous infusion drugs for clinical trials in PIVAS， by standardizing clinical trail drug management operational procedures， accurately recording and preserving drug-related information， with the aim of achieving standardized and meticulous management of PIVAS’s receipt of clinical trial drugs.

Access to the clinical application of medical technology is one of the core institutional contents of medical quality management， involving medical quality assurance， the achievement of patient safety goals， and medical service satisfaction. Medical technology is only permitted for clinical use after its safety and effectiveness have been verified through clinical research， as well as evaluated and reviewed by the medical technology clinical application management committee and ethics committee of this medical and health institution. Based on the relevant laws， regulations， and ethical principles， combined with the experience of ethical review in the clinical application of medical technology from some medical and health institutions， a thematic discussion was held to formulate ethical review guidelines for the clinical application of medical technology for references. These guidelines elaborated on the management system for access to the clinical application of medical technology in medical and health institutions， the system of ethics committees and the requirements of review norms， technical plans and their review points， key points for the implementation of informed consent， technical teams and conditions， and other aspects.

Investigator-initiated clinical trials （IIT） are an important part of scientific and technological activities involving human study participants. Among them， high-quality IIT can be used to support the marketing and registration application of drugs， medical devices， and other products when conditions permit. Currently， there is a huge gap between IIT and industry-initiated clinical trials. The use of unlisted products in IIT has problems， such as lack of regulatory support， insufficient research funding support， the need to improve the ability of clinical research management departments， the weakness of professional clinical research teams， and the difficulty of ethics review to match the demands. The challenges could be addressed by improving regulations and conducting pilot trials on a small scale， guaranteeing adequate research funding， strengthening the construction of clinical research management systems， building professional clinical research teams， ensuring the quality of ethical reviews and strict follow-up reviews， shifting from ethical reviews to a system for protecting research participants， and reinforcing training for researchers. Ethics committees should strictly review key points， such as the risk-benefit ratio， informed consent， research funding， compensation for damages， qualifications and equipment of research team members， and management of conflict of interest.

In September 2023， the Measures for Scientific and Technological Ethics Review （Trial Implementation） was issued， revising the provisions related to the simplified procedure for ethical review in Chapter 3， Section 3. This revision of these provisions provides systematic guarantees for further optimizing ethical review work， ensuring that ethical review procedure is well-regulated， and improving scientific research efficiency. The “simplified procedure” does not mean reducing the quality and requirements of the review. Instead， based on always following internationally recognized ethical standards and emphasizing not violating national laws and regulations， improving the efficiency of ethical review and subsequent research work， and promoting the development of life sciences and medical research involving humans. In practical work， it introduces numerous new opportunities and challenges for the improvement of ethics review ability， such as new tests on the judgment and decision-making power of ethics committees， how to ensure the reliability and controllability of the conditions related to the simplified review procedure， and how to determine the basic conditions for adopting the simplified review procedure for review. Therefore， to actively respond to the challenges and possible risks brought by the simplified procedure review， efforts should be made to achieve three “unifications”， including the unification of researchers’ moral autonomy and the heteronomy of supervision implemented by relevant departments； the unification of the standard formulation of the simplified procedure review and the review work in practice； and the unification of ethical responsibility and legal responsibility.

The academic development of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） originates from numerous clinical practices. The efficacy of TCM， its mechanism of action， and the unique value of TCM have been verified through clinical research， contributing to TCM’s inheritance and development. At present， there is an increasing number of investigator-initiated clinical trials （IIT）. The IIT projects involving TCM intervention have different designs in terms of basic theory， syndrome differentiation， prescription composition， dosage form， dosage， and other aspects， as well as even posing challenges to the project review of the ethics committee. The basic ethical principles followed by clinical research institutions of modern medicine and TCM are consistent. The ethical review of the IIT projects involving TCM intervention needs to reflect the development laws of TCM itself， as well as conform to the characteristics of TCM and the laws of new drug research and development. TCM medical institutions need to combine their professional characteristics， sort out clinical experience， guide researchers to conduct clinical research on TCM in an orderly manner with a patient-centered and clinical value-oriented， verify the clinical value of TCM’s new drugs， and improve the success rate of translating the results of TCM’s new drugs.

The widespread application of medical artificial intelligence （AI） has brought technological breakthroughs to traditional diagnosis and treatment and has also altered the traditional doctor-patient interaction mode and formed a new doctor-patient relationship of “doctor-medical AI-patient” which faces a series of challenges. The intervention of AI may form a new “paternalistic style，” affecting the shared decision-making model. When its recommendations lack explanation， it may lead to clinical decision-making paralysis and affect the doctor-patient trust relationships. There may be confusion between the roles and responsibilities of AI and doctors in the process of medical practice， affecting the establishment of an emotionally responsible doctor-patient relationship. Through an in-depth analysis of the impact and causes of medical AI on the doctor-patient relationships， this paper proposed that a collaborative mechanism should be established between AI and professional doctors to complement each other， clarifying the auxiliary status of AI， reinforcing the dominant role of doctors， enhancing the regulatory mechanism， and dynamically improved the doctor-patient relationships to promote the healthy and orderly development of smart healthcare.

Intraoperative cell salvage (IOCS) has been widely applied as an important blood conservation measure in surgical operations. However, there is currently a lack of clinical practice guidelines for the implementation of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors. This report aims to provide clinicians with recommendations on the use of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors based on the review and assessment of the existed evidence. Data were derived from databases such as PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Wanfang. The guideline development team formulated recommendations based on the quality of evidence, balance of benefits and harms, patient preferences, and health economic assessments. This study constructed seven major clinical questions. The main conclusions of this guideline are as follows: 1) Compared with no perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (NPABT), perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (PABT) leads to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 2) Compared with the transfusion of allogeneic blood or no transfusion, IOCS does not lead to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 3) The implementation of IOCS in cancer patients is economically feasible (Recommended); 4) Leukocyte depletion filters (LDF) should be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Strongly Recommended); 5) Irradiation treatment of autologous blood to be reinfused can be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Recommended); 6) A careful assessment of the condition of cancer patients (meeting indications and excluding contraindications) should be conducted before implementing IOCS (Strongly Recommended); 7) Informed consent from cancer patients should be obtained when implementing IOCS, with a thorough pre-assessment of the patient's condition and the likelihood of blood loss, adherence to standardized internally audited management procedures, meeting corresponding conditions, and obtaining corresponding qualifications (Recommended). In brief, current evidence indicates that IOCS can be implemented for some malignant tumor patients who need allogeneic blood transfusion after physician full evaluation, and LDF or irradiation should be used during the implementation process.

Room temperature stored platelets are associated with a higher risk of sepsis and related fatality. The risk of bacterial contamination of platelets is a leading risk of infection from blood transfusion. U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently issued a guidance on bacterial risk control strategies for blood collection establishments and transfusion services to enhance the safety and availability of platelets for transfusion. The prevention and control strategies in the guidance would be informative and instructive for further development of risk control strategies of platelet bacterial contamination in China.

OBJECTIVE To investigate and analyze the current management of drug clinical trial institutions in Jiangxi Province and the situation of undertaking drug clinical trials after the implementation of the filing system. METHODS A survey was conducted on 38 new institutions （obtained qualifications during the implementation of the filing system） and old institutions （obtained qualifications during the implementation of the recognition system） that had completed drug clinical trial institution qualification filing for more than one year in Jiangxi Province. The survey focused on the basic information of the institutions， the number of registered principal investigator （PI）， institutional hardware and information construction， personnel allocation and training， and drug registration clinical trials undertaken by the institutions. RESULTS Of 38 institutions surveyed， there were 22 general hospitals and 16 specialized hospitals； there were 24 old institutions and 14 new institutions. Whether in general hospitals or specialized hospitals， the old institutions were better than the new institutions in the number of approved beds， the number of outpatients， the number of inpatients， the number of specialties， and the number of PI； both old and new institutions had separate offices； all new institutions were set up with GCP pharmacy. The adoption of clinical trial management system in new institutions is significantly less than in old institutions. In the general hospital， both the number of full-time managers and the number of quality controllers in old institutions were significantly more than in the new institutions， while the opposite was true at the level of specialized hospitals. In terms of centralized training on GCP， new institutions were all better than the old ones. Whether in general hospitals or specialized hospitals， the number of drug registration clinical trial projects undertaken by new institutions was significantly less than that of old ones. CONCLUSIONS The new institutions are worse than the old institutions in comprehensive strength and information construction of hospitals， and the number of clinical trials undertaken by new institutions is also less than old institutions.

Radiopharmaceuticals play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases， malignant tumors， central nervous system diseases， and other diseases. Under the urgent need for clinical diagnosis and treatment as well as medical development， the clinical research of radiopharmaceuticals has become a hotspot in international research. By analyzing the current situation of clinical research on radiopharmaceuticals in Europe， America， and China， the ethical issues of clinical research on radiopharmaceuticals were elaborated from four aspects， including lack of relevant laws and regulations， a higher risk of radiopharmaceuticals， dilemmas in ethical review， and insufficient radiation protection. Response principles and measures were proposed from four aspects， including improving regulations and policies， enhancing radiological protection for all parties involved in the research， strengthening ethical review， and reinforcing the training of relevant personnel， to enhance the quality and level of clinical research on radiopharmaceuticals.
