Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) originated from intermittent hemodialysis. Over the past 40 years, its application scope has gradually expanded from the initial treatment of kidney diseases alone to the support of multi-organ functions. As a safe, adequate, and flexible therapeutic modality, CRRT has become one of the main means of treating critically ill patients. Continuous innovation in technology, biomaterials and other technologies provides important driving force for the sustainable development of CRRT. This paper reviews the technological innovation and development of CRRT devices. With continuous technological updates and iteration, CRRT can better adapt to clinical needs. Biofeedback, portability, and intelligence are several directions of the development of CRRT, which can provide more accurate and personalized treatment for critically ill patients in different scenarios.
Surgical innovation is an important part of surgical research and practice. The evaluation of surgical innovation through the stages is similar to those for drug development, but with important differences. The Idea, Development, Exploration, Assessment, and Long-term follow-up (IDEAL) Framework and Recommendations represent a new paradigm for the evaluation of surgical intervention and devices which was developed in 2009. The IDEAL is a five-stage framework involving the nature stages of surgical innovation, together with recommendations for surgical research pathway. The Framework and Recommendations were updated and published in 2019, which added a pre-IDEAL stage if necessary. The updated IDEAL also underlines the purpose, key question and ethical issues for each stage. In the first paper of IDEAL Framework and Recommendations series, we conducted a comprehensive introduction of IDEAL (e.g. the development, updates and application of IDEAL) to promote the dissemination and application of IDEAL in China.
The pharmaceutical industry is characterized by the intensive capital and knowledge. Its international competitiveness and sustainable development should be established on a complete national drug innovation system. At the same time, the development of new drug innovation system in China can be really promoted by the accurate location of pharmaceutical enterprises as research and development (R & D) and production, the improved R & D strength, as well as the increased investment in innovation. This paper reviews both the development of Chinese drug innovation system and the orientation of pharmaceutical enterprises innovation during this process. Furthermore, the changes of innovation capability and positioning of pharmaceutical companies have been investigated before and after the launch of the Drug Innovation Major Project. Although, the construction of Chinese pharmaceutical innovation system has greatly promoted the progress of our pharmaceutical companies, a wide gap in the level of drug innovation still exists between Chinese pharmaceutical enterprises and international leading drug companies in the world.

As an important part of social governance, the health poverty alleviation plays a key role in promoting Healthy China Strategy. This paper reviews the practice progress of health poverty alleviation in China, and summarizes it's four action logics. It is found that the governance effect is restrained by several issues, such as pessimistically external governance environment, single governance subject, poor leading role of the pilot areas, specific practices inconsistent with conceptions, and the research has not paid enough attention to the incentive system and supervision mechanism of the practitioners. Based on the above, this paper proposes five governance principles on the governance of health and poverty alleviation: evidence-based principle, systematic principle, economic principle, dynamic principle and people-oriented principle. Lastly, we hope to provide some preferences to promote the governance practice of health poverty alleviation.
