Clinical trial, an important research method, plays a crucial role in the development of medicine. It provides important decision support for medical workers. Medical research proposal should be posted at clinical trial registries. Researchers should update original data and research results, which contributes to data sharing. Clinical trial registration can avoid repetitive research and make clinical trials more transparent and standardized. This paper briefly introduces the clinical trial registration, including the definition, the significance, the history, the scope of registration, the organization of registration, and some common problems in the process of registration. Taking the application of clinical trial registration in the field of neurological research as an example, the article describes the current application status of clinical trial registration and explores it’s value and deficiency in specific clinical research, to provoke the awareness on trial registration, which can help to improve the quality of clinical trials.
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of different wavelength krypton lasers on diabetic retinopathy. Methods A total of 55 eyes (35 cases) with diabetic retinopathy underwent different wavelength k rypton lasers photocoagulation treatment, according to the different manifestati on of the affected eyes. The visual acuity, intraocular pressure，visual field,visual evoked potential were examined, and slit-lamp, ophthalmoscopy, Bultraso nography, and fundus fluorescein angiography were performed preoperatively. The patients were followed up for at least 12 months after krypton laser treatment. Results The resulting effect on visual acuity after 12 months of photocoagulation in this series revealed that, 20 eyes (36.4%) i mproved, 34 eyes (61.8%) remained no change, and one eye (1.8%) decreased. Conclusions Different wavelength krypton lasers photoco agulation can be used in treatment of diabetic retinopathy and can improve the visual acuity at certain extent.

In the new era of development, countries in the world have realized the importance of cultivating interdisciplinary and innovative talents, and China is also paying more and more attention to the cultivation of medicine-engineering talents. Compared with the cultivation of single discipline postgraduates, the cultivation of medicine-engineering postgraduates involves effective integration of multiple disciplines, and its cultivation difficulty is greater. At present, China is still in the exploration stage of the medicine-engineering postgraduates training model. Therefore, this article intends to summarize the relatively mature and advanced medicine-engineering postgraduates training models at home and abroad, and extract experiences that are in line with China’s actual development, providing some suggestions for the establishment of postgraduates training systems of medicine-engineering interdisciplinary in China.
ObjectiveTo investigate the domestic and abroad hypertension-related clinical trial registration and to analyze the registration of hypertension-related clinical researches in China.MethodsUsing hypertension as the keyword, we searched ClinicalTrials.gov and Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) from January 2008 to December 2018. We analyzed the collected data on the distribution of registered clinical researches, annual trends, sample sizes, trial progress, research types, study designs, blind methods, clinical stages, the number of participating institutions, the leading institutions, etc.ResultsThe total number of registered hypertension-related clinical trails was 4 991 all over the world, and 551 items were conducted in China. Most of the sample sizes of Chinese hypertension-related clinical trials were 100 to 999. The main types of trials were interventional studies (393 items, 71.32%), followed by observational studies (126 items, 22.87%). Randomized parallel control studies (300 items, 76.34%) were the key component of interventional studies, while cohort studies (61 items, 48.41%) were the chief component of observational studies. The main stages of clinical trials were stage Ⅲ (80 items) and stage Ⅳ (122 items). There were 369 domestic single-center clinical trials (66.97%), 89 domestic multi-center clinical trials (16.15%), and 93 international multi-center clinical trials (16.88%). Among the 93 international multi-center trials of hypertension, only 25 were led by China.ConclusionsThe number of Chinese hypertension-related clinical trial registrations increased year by year and then decreased slightly, but the amount of registrations is limited. The quantity and scale of multicenter clinical studies were not as good as America. China should strengthen the awareness of clinical research registration, strengthen the publicity and supervision of the registration of clinical researches by the department of science and management, improve the number of clinical trial registrations, make Chinese clinical researches more transparent, and strive to lead more international multi-center clinical trials.
