做好医院实验动物福利保障工作的初步探讨

在医学研究中,实验动物常被用作研究对象,而动物福利和良好的科研结果有着千丝万缕的联系。在医院环境下,培养科研人员树立保护动物福利的观念具有重要意义。笔者尝试结合南京大学医学院附属鼓楼医院近年来在实验动物福利与伦理审查工作的实际,对医院动物实验的重要性、维护实验动物福利的意义、如何开展福利伦理审查工作等进行初步的探讨,旨在为医院科研人员做好实验动物福利工作提供参考。

A preliminary discussion on how to protect laboratory animal welfare in the hospital

Laboratory animals are commonly used as experimental objects in medical research, and laboratory animal welfare is closely related with good scientific outcomes. It is important for researchers in hospitals to establish a concept of protecting the welfare of laboratory animals. In this paper, combined with our experience concerning with the ethics and animal welfare in recent years in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School, we try to discuss the importance of animal experiments in the hospital, the significance of maintenance of laboratory animal welfare and the ethical review of the welfare of laboratory animals, etc., in order to provide a reference to the protection of laboratory animal welfare for researchers in hospitals.
