China has experienced the development and evolution from medical ethics education to medical humanities, and its research hotspots mainly focus on the topics of "medical ethics" "medical education" "practice teaching" "medical humanities" "teaching reform" and so on. While foreign countries focus on "medical education" "clinical ethics" "hospice care" "health care" "global public health" "science and technology ethics" "organ transplantation" "curriculum construction" "health policy" and other topics. Through the comparative analysis of the development trend and the evolution of hot spots of education, this paper put forward theoretical reference direction for improving the medical ethics education system in China and further perfecting the discipline construction of medical ethics in China.
ABSTRACT
@#Among the second round of “double first-class” construction universities, 12 universities are in the process of building first-class pharmaceutical and traditional Chinese medicine disciplines.The aim is to explore the innovative development trend of these 12 universities, based on their information related to pharmacy and traditional Chinese medicine in the past five years.The study used the PatSnap global patent database to search for pharmaceutical related patents applied by 12 universities from 2018 to 2022, and analyzed the information from perspectives such as application and authorization volume, technical themes, transfer and licensing status, and international patent situation.The results reveal that comprehensive universities and China Pharmaceutical University are superior to other pharmaceutical universities in terms of patent application volume and licensing rate.From the perspective of patent classification, most of the relevant patents involve the effective ingredients of drugs.Comprehensive universities and China Pharmaceutical University pay more attention to the research of anti-tumor drugs.Among all authorized patents, the quantity is insufficient, and most of them are exclusive licenses.The transfer of relevant rights mostly occurs between universities and enterprises.In terms of international patent applications, comprehensive universities dominate in terms of quantity, but the total amount is still insufficient.In the future innovation and development process of “double first-class” universities, it is necessary to improve the awareness of patent protection and layout, attract relevant talents, give full play to the advantages of university intellectual property information service centers, and promote the transformation of university achievements.
ABSTRACT
Objective To refine and summarize the research status and development trend of organ donation discipline in China. Methods Relevant Chinese and English literatures related to organ donation were searched from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science core collection database from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2022. Visual analysis was performed by the CiteSpace software from the number of published articles, keywords, journal source distribution, cooperation network of core authors, main research institutions, and citation of key literatures, etc. Results A total of 792 articles were published from 2018 to 2022, with an average annual number of 158 articles, which showed a rapidly upward trend. Among them, 182 articles were published in the form of postgraduate dissertation, accounting for 23%. Common keywords included organ transplantation, brain death, cardiac death, willingness/cognition/attitude, legal system, influencing factor/risk factor, infection/complication, Organ Procurement Organization, prognosis/quality, education for college students/medical students, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, children, ischemia-reperfusion injury, donor-derived infection, ethics, expended criteria donor, nursing and coordinator, etc. Keyword clustering hotspots focused on the theme of “organ donation” and branched into multiple disciplines. The publications of research results were characterized with pluralism and diversity, and the research contents were centered on medicine and spanned a wide range of disciplines. A large proportion of researches were published by the teams from large-scale organ transplantation institutions, and relatively close cooperative relationship was formed within the institutions. However, the intensity of cooperation among different institutions was relatively low, and the cooperative relationship among authors was insufficient, which failed to form an intimate academic network. The top five countries worldwide regarding the number of published articles were the U.S. (n=940), U.K. (n=377), Spain (n=263), Canada (n=241) and China (n=181), indicating that the achievements of Chinese researchers have been gradually recognized in the international academic community. Conclusions From the quantity and content of published articles in recent years, “organ donation” has laid certain research foundation in China. It is one of the topics concerned and widely studied by multiple academic communities in China. Relevant research issues have multidisciplinary, plural and diverse characteristics.
ABSTRACT
Vivid and abundant social practice constantly creates new understanding, which will inevitably lead to the emergence of new disciplines. Organ donation discipline is involved with multiple disciplines, such as ethics, law, medicine, sociology and psychology, etc. After entering a new stage of high-quality development, whether it is necessary to establish the discipline of "organ donation" is worthy of discussion. According to the basic standards for establishing a new discipline, groundbreaking achievements in organ donation could lay a solid foundation for the establishment of "organ donation" discipline. However, current conditions for the establishment of "organ donation" are not fully mature, and the process of discipline establishment will absolutely encounter resistance. In the future, the scope and orientation of organ donation should be further elucidated, and a series of measures should be taken, such as establishing independent academic organizations, offering organ donation courses, carrying out special research and innovation, and strengthening international cooperation and exchanges, aiming to promote the establishment of organ donation discipline. The cooperation between academic community and governments is the key to promote the establishment of the discipline of organ donation. Governments will make final decisions by comprehensively considering the investment of resources, development needs of the discipline and the relationship among existing disciplines.

ABSTRACT
Discipline evaluation is an important measure to promote the virtuous circle of discipline construction, and is an indispensable link in the process of discipline development in public hospitals. After becoming a directly affiliated hospital of a " double first-class" university, in order to improve the comprehensive strength and influence, a hospital built and applied a disciplinary evaluation system in four directions: talent construction, clinical medicine, scientific research ability, and teaching work. According to the evaluation results, the hospital′s disciplines were divided into three categories, namely, advantageous disciplines, cultivating disciplines and potential disciplines, and development strategies were established at different levels, providing policy support and financial support, especially in the field of scientific research and teaching, to accelerate to make up for shortcomings. Through exploration and practice, the talent team, scientific research and teaching level, discipline reputation, and comprehensive strength of the hospital had been significantly improved, providing effective support for the high-quality development of the hospital.
ABSTRACT
Discipline construction is the core of hospital development. Under the initiative to build " first-class universities and disciplines" , in order to speed up the construction of first-class hospitals, a university-affiliated hospital carried out discipline construction management by optimizing top-level design, discipline differentiation development, evaluation index system construction and strengthening its application, and carrying out process management in the form of project system.In 2018, the hospital levelled its individual disciplines as leading ones, advantageous ones, backbone ones, backbone promising ones and potential ones, each granted with corresponding funding support. Medians of the disciplinary construction scoring of disciplines at various levels from 2015 to 2018 were used as the standard scoring in examinations in the next two years(2019 and 2020), guiding the disciplines to upgrade their design for discipline construction index system. The appraisal of discipline construction in 2019 and 2020 found 38 disciplines up to the standard scoring, including 16 twice higher than the scoring, while only 7 scored lower than the standard one. The hospital has made stage-based progress in discipline reputation, faculty, science research and social contribution, initially achieving effective guidance of disciplines of the hospital.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To establish an evaluation index system for the refinement management of respiratory specialties in four dimensions: medical care, teaching, scientific research and personnel training, to develop a refinement management system based on medical big data, and evaluate the effectiveness of its application.Methods:Based on evaluation indexes and literature of several domestic respiratory specialty influence rankings, an index system covering four dimensions (primary indexes), 16 secondary indexes and 73 tertiary indexes covering medical treatment (30%), teaching (15%), scientific research (40%) and personnel training (15%) was devised using brainstorming, Delphi, and hierarchical entropy weighting. Data from 13 professional groups and 248 respiratory discipline members integrated by the system in 2018 and 2019 were statistically analyzed using the refined index system embedded in the system to understand the system's application after a year of use with comparing the four dimensions of the discipline and the changes among specialty groups before and after implementation.Results:In 2019, respiratory medicine′s comprehensive score grew 30% compared to 2018. The subscores also grew, with scientific research showing the largest growth rate of 136% and talent cultivation showing the second highest. In 2019, ten of the 13 professional groups grew by 2% to 135%.Conclusions:An improved management system for respiratory medicine based on big data technology has provided a comprehensive, intuitive and quantitative view of the discipline′s development in four dimensions and the differences among specialty groups. It will be an effective decision-making tool for ensuring high-quality and balanced discipline development.
ABSTRACT
Objective:Established a Super-DEA model to calculate the efficiency of scientific research work of the hospital departments, statistically compared it with the evaluation results of scientific research work in discipline construction, and proposed improvement suggestions.Methods:Considering the characteristics of the input and output indicators, non-radial super-SBM model from the DEA methods was established to calculate the scientific research efficiency of 47 departments of the hospital in 2019, two independent sample t-tests were used to compare the differences in subject construction scores between effective and ineffective departments with super-efficiency values.Results:The average scientific research efficiency of 47 departments in the hospital was 0.70, with the highest efficiency being the scientific research department and the lowest being the internal medicine department; there were 18 DEA-effective departments and 29 DEA-ineffective departments; among the DEA-ineffective departments, the average human resource input was 1.13 people, the redundant scientific research funds is 854, 800 yuan on average; compared with the evaluation results of scientific research work in the discipline construction in 2019, the ranking of the same discipline is significantly different, the t-test results showed that there was no significant difference in the subject construction scores between DEA effective and ineffective departments. Using this model to calculate the data in 2021, the results show that DEAs in 21 departments are effective, with an effective rate of 42.86%.Conclusions:There is a big difference in the scientific research efficiency of the hospital departments, and the overall efficiency need to be improved; it should be improved according to the reasons for the lack of scientific research efficiency; the discipline construction evaluation system has not considered the input and other deficiencies, it is recommended to optimize the evaluation system to improve fairness and rationality. The results preliminarily show that the model can play a positive guiding role in the scientific research work of the department.

ABSTRACT
The implementation of the "Healthy China" policy is inseparable from public health. The improvement of the national health level, the control of health risk factors and the improvement of health service ability and other aspects need to rely on the talent training and discipline construction of public health and preventive medicine in medical colleges, which highlights that the public health discipline construction and development of our country has a certain lag and limitations: unprofessional public health academic team and disciplines; separation of teaching research and practice in public health; lack of public health expertise and insufficient personnel scale; health emergency and legal system that do not match economic development, etc. Therefore, in order to promote the construction of healthy China, we should promote the integration of public health disciplines, strengthen the teaching and practice of health emergency response, improve the health emergency response and dynamic monitoring system focusing on prevention so that we can make public health disciplines both scientific and contemporary.
