ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the management of human genetic resources in our university,propose relevant suggestions for promoting the appropriate protection and scientific management of human genetic resources.Methods Based on the existing regulations and policies,discuss the potential problems relevant to how to strengthen management of human genetic resources in China at institute level.Results Main problems identified including the management scope of human genetic resources is not clear,the inconsistence of application materials,the informed consent and its process involved in biobank and lack of the management of whole process of human genetic resources exploration.Conclusions With the rapid development of biotechnology,the economic value and strategic significance of human genetic resources have become increasingly prominent.Enhancement of training and whole process management,as well as the improvement of informed consent for biobank play important roles in effectively improve the protection of human genetic resources.
ABSTRACT
Objective Summarize and share the working practice of Investigator Research Ethics and Research Integrity Training conducted at Peking University Human Research Protection Program (PKU HRPP) ,to further explore continuing quality improvement of investigator ethical training at university level .Methods Conduct systematic review of the archiving files of PKU HRPP investigator training activities during 2012-2018 ,summarize feedback information from investigators to i-dentify possible experiences for sharing and space for improvement .Results There are some positive experiences for sharing a-bout the training mechanism and practices at PKU HRPP .Conclusions Based on the previous ethical training work and experi-ences at PKU HRPP ,possible proposals for continuing quality improvement may including :strengthening the requirements of ethical training of investigators ,encouraging and recognizing ethical training conducted by research teams ,emphasizing training Quality and the promotion of sharing and mutual recognition mechanisms for ethical training .
ABSTRACT
With dramatic decline of genome sequencing cost,high-throughput sequencing technologies have been applied in clinical laboratory field,and play an increasingly important role in clinical diagnosis and treatment in complex diseases.Based on omics techniques,clinical laboratory data recording patient's diagnosis information has become the important independent medical research resources of the major health industry.Because these data include the patient's identity information,there are a series of ethical issues to be solved,such as protection of patients' informed consent right,patient privacy protection,information security protection,when carrying out the medical health big data research.Based on these problems,it proposed clinical laboratory data should be standard extraction,establishment of clinical laboratory data base for teaching,training,in order to improve the utilization of medical resources.Moreover,it is best to implement the written informed consent during the process of sample collection,informing the patient the data collected in diagnosis and treatment process may be used in related research in future.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the changes in lung injury and oxidative stress of sprague-Dawleyy (SD) rats at different times after single intratracheal instillation of potassium dichromate.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 50 healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into control group and potassium dichromate group. The potassium dichromate group and the control group received 3 ml/kg intratracheal instillation of K2Cr2O7 (1.5 mg/kg) and normal saline, respectively. Rats in these two groups were sacrificed in batches at 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days after exposure. The changes in the following indices were observed and analyzed: body weight, lung coefficient, alkaline phosphatase (AKP) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in lung homogenate, and reduced glutathione (GSH) in serum.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The rats in the potassium dichromate group had significantly decreased body weight on day 1 and day 3 after exposure than the control group (P<0.05). Lung coefficient increased significantly on day 7 (P<0.05) and kept increasing until the end of the experiment. The potassium dichromate group had a significantly higher activity of AKP than the control group on day 1 and day 7 after exposure (P<0.05). However, the potassium dichromate group had a significantly lower activity of GSH-Px than the control group on day 1 and day 3 after exposure (P<0.05). And the potassium dichromate group had a lower activity of reduced GSH than the control group on day 3 and day 7 after exposure.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Single intratracheal instillation of 1.5 mg/kg potassium dichromate could result in lung inflammatory injury. of SD rats, and the injury is more severe on day 7 after exposure. Body injury is related to antioxidant activity, and the antioxidant.activity cannot recover completely on day 28 after exposure.</p>
