RESUMEN
Vaccine cooperation is an important means to deal with global infectious diseases. However, the cooperation cannot be achieved overnight. Ethical dilemma is one of the obstacles that hinders vaccine cooperation. Reviewing the history, the most successful vaccine collaboration to date has been the global smallpox eradication program. In the process of eradicating smallpox, there were also many ethical dilemmas, including the international pattern of the US-Soviet hegemony, which impacted the mutual help between countries, the ethical disputes of the vaccine itself hindering solidarity and cooperation among actors, and the vaccine coercion adopted to overcome vaccine hesitancy undermining the principle of proportionality among the freedom, equality and efficacy. The ethical dilemmas of vaccine cooperation were resolved by shaping professional and scientific consensus among medical professional groups, reaching consensus on cooperation between leading countries and developing countries, and integrating local culture to improve vaccination methods. Finally, in 1980, the world successfully eradicated smallpox. The case of smallpox eradication provides us lessons for vaccine cooperation against COVID-19 and the construction of a community of common health for mankind today.
RESUMEN
How medical resources can be fairly distributed in a public health emergency such as COVID-19. There have been mature or comparatively mature studies on this issue in both traditional ethics and contemporary ethics: the traditional ethics has the "maximum happiness principle" represented by utilitarianism, while the contemporary ethics has the new principle doctrine and the medical justice theory, which respectively put forward the methods suitable for the distribution of emergency medical resources, and defended their respective theories from different perspectives. However, when COVID-19 broke out, the actual medical resource distribution methods were still the traditional medical resource distribution methods, but did not use the contemporary mainstream ethical medical distribution approach, which was due to the limitations of the emerging medical ethics distribution theory. Therefore, in order to better provide ethical services to the medical and health field, the contemporary emerging theory of distribution of health care needs to introduce global bioethics, with its tolerance and respect, give full play to its advantages, and improve its shortcomings, so as to solve the problem of medical resources distribution.
RESUMEN
In order to explore the ethical review experience of organ donation and transplantation after the death of citizens, and provide reference value for medical institutions to carry out corresponding ethical review. By using descriptive research, purpose sampling method and the principle of data saturation, 10 members and secretaries of ethics committee on clinical application of organ transplantation technology were finally selected as respondents for semi-structured interviews. The Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was adopted to analyze, summarize and refine the theme. The results showed that the ethical review experience of organ donation and transplantation after the death of citizens included four themes: the responsibilities of ethics committee, the key points of ethics review, the form of ethics review conference and its advantages and disadvantages, and the construction of the ethics committee of organ transplantation. Therefore, there are defects in the ethical review of organ donation and transplantation in medical institutions at present. These can be remedied by enriching elements of the ethical review following the four principles of medical ethics, refining the laws related to organ donation after citizens’ death, constructing a reasonable and efficient pattern of ethical review conference, and establishing a robust and appropriate operation mode of organ transplantation ethics committee.
RESUMEN
The ethical governance of science and technology is a kind of practical ethics, which develops in the process of continuously solving the ethical problems and ethical conflicts arising from scientific and technological activities. Ethical governance has common requirements and professional standards. Health-related science and technology activities, including the application of life science and artificial intelligence in health and medical field, make the medical ethical governance face common and unique challenges. The supervision and ethical review should consider the speciality of life science and medical research, and bring the existing ethical review system into full play. However, the focus, emphasis and standards of ethical governance have changed with the application of some technologies (ex. the next-generation sequencing, gene editing, and artificial intelligence). Actions should be taken to strengthen the ethical governance and promote ethics in advance with science and technological implementation in health and medical field. Here in this article, the classified, hierarchical supervision and ethical review strategies are discussed; then some potential effective organization and mechanisms for regional ethics committees are introduced. Promoting the medical education and continuing education of ethical governance of science and technology is also recommended.

RESUMEN
From January 23, 2020 to May 29, 2021, there were 17,550 clinical research registrations on the China Clinical Trial Registry Platform. The index of clinical research on COVID-19 showed 840 registrations, accounting for 4.79% (840/17 550) of the total registrations. According to the trend chart of epidemic development, 487 clinical research projects of COVID-19 registered from January 23, 2020 to March 18, 2020 were set as the early stage of epidemic discovery in the region, the following 15 months were divided into stable initial stage, stable later stage and the later stage of the first wave of domestic epidemic every five months. The proportion of COVID-19 research projects registered in each stage was 29.80%, 5.87%, 0.76% and 1.15% of all registered projects respectively. The registration ratios of COVID-19 in each clinical stage was 57.98%, 28.81%, 5.95% and 7.26% respectively. Intervention studies were 61.60% (300/487) in the early stage of the epidemic, and most of them were in biological agent and drug therapy, which were 40.49%, 50.00% and 73.77% respectively in the later stages. Stable initial stage biological agent projects decreased. Then the vaccine research program became a focused research program. Among the 58 registration projects involving vaccines, 25 were clinical trials of vaccines in different stages, with the major research units being biopharmaceutical companies. Of the 487 clinical studies registered in the early stage, 10.23%(50/487) were withdrawn, of which 38 were intervention treatment studies, most notably drug studies (17) and blood biological products (16), but they were still registered in the stable initial stage. It is necessary to reflect on the scientific and ethical nature of early COVID-19 clinical trials or research, including whether the three core values of equal respect, help to alleviate pain and fairness can be achieved. Whether the "ethics review meeting should pay special attention to the scientificity, safety, fairness, subject protection, informed consent documents and informed consent process, avoidance of conflicts of interest, etc. of clinical trials or research" has been implemented. Competent government departments at all levels and all clinical medical research institutions should organize evaluation, and then establish an effective evaluation mechanism when new clinical trials or research projects are registered in the future.
