Abstract:Objective: To survey staff of biobanks in public medical institutions in Shanghai on the current construction status of biobanks in medical institutions, as well as the bottleneck problems encountered in specimen resource sharing and feasible suggestions. Method: A questionnaire survey was conducted on biobanks in representative hospitals in Shanghai, to understand the current situation of biological sample sharing among hospital related sample bank builders, as well as the obstacles, problems, and feasible suggestions encountered in resource sharing and sustainable development of sample banks. Result: 228 sample bank builders from 25 municipal medical institutions participated in the questionnaire survey. 48 people (26.50%) had shared experiences, while 133 people (73.50%) had no shared experiences. The possibility of clinical researchers sharing increases with the increase of years of work experience in sample library construction related to clinical biological sample collection, research, and management (t=5.074, P<0.001). As the establishment period of the constructed biological sample library increases, it will increase(Χ2=31.176, P<0.001). To promote the sharing of clinical biological sample resources, the top 5 necessary conditions are: medical ethics review (94.30%), ensuring the security of biological samples and data resources (94.30%), biological sample management information system (87.72%), setting standardized sharing processes (85.96%), intellectual property protection and accountability for breach of contract (85.09%). Conclusion: Strengthening the construction of clinical biological sample banks is the top priority for medical institutions. To improve the utilization value of clinical specimen, the most important work is to strengthen the standardization construction of biobank in hospitals. Medical institutions should strengthen the planning and management of clinical biobank, take the disease-specific biobank as the goal, strengthen the standardized collection, storage and quality control of specimen, constantly improve the research data derived from specimen and unified management, and the sharing needs to fully consider the fairness of the cooperation of stakeholders and the protection of rights and interests.
