RESUMO
OBJECTIVE To clarify the institutional logics of the dilemma of the use of national medical insurance negotiation drugs(referred to as “national negotiation drugs”), and promote the implementation and use of these drugs in medical institutions. METHODS Based on the complex institutional environment in which medical institutions were situated, the theory of multiple institutional logics was used to construct an analytical framework for the behavioral choices of medical institutions, and reveal the mechanism of the difficulty in the use of national negotiation drugs by clarifying the interaction and conflict of multiple logics in this process, so as to put forward some measures. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS There were contradictions and coupling among the state logic, market logic, social logic and professional logic in the use of national negotiation drugs. In the game of multiple logics, the market logic and professional logic tended to be risk-averse, the failed “pressure-type system” of state logic, and the social logic was weakened, which caused the lack of action in the use of national negotiation drugs with the goal of completing performance evaluations in the current medical institutions. Thus, it is suggested to unbundle the invisible policy restrictions on the use of national negotiation drugs, form the pressure and motivation of medical institutions by incentive and constraint mechanisms, respond to the clinical demand by establishing a green procurement channel, and construct the supervision mechanism on the use of national negotiation drugs by social force, etc., so as to enhance the effect of the national negotiation drugs.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE To analyze the public participation mechanism of National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) health technology assessment in England and to provide experience for the dynamic adjustment of Chinese medical insurance catalog. METHODS By retrieving related literature and official websites, types and mechanisms of public participation (management organization, selection method, participation mode, evaluation feedback) in NICE health technology assessment were analyzed comprehensively; and based on this, suggestions were put forward to adjust the public participation in Chinese medical insurance catalog. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The current public participation types of NICE health technology assessment were patient and carer organizations, HTA committee lay members, patient expert and public observers. At the management level, NICE has set up a public participation team and made guidelines on public participation matters. For different public participation types, NICE has established different selection procedures, such as expression of interest, NICE invitation, open recruitment, nomination, NICE decision, etc. The public participation types are various and in the whole assessing process from the initial determination of the scope of the health technology assessment to the final appeal. Also, NICE has established a flexible and dynamic evaluation feedback system to optimize the way of public participation and the health technology assessment process; NICE has undertaken extensive international cooperation and exchanges to promote public participation at the national and international levels. It is suggested that our country should combine the national conditions, clarify the channel of public participation in health technology evaluation, set up a working group of public participation affairs, strengthen patients’ participation in evaluation and feedback, improve decision-making transparency, and improve the public participation mechanism of health technology evaluation from the aspects of channel opening, management mechanism, evaluation feedback, information disclosure and so on.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE To provide reference for clarifying the action and development direction of China ’s drug safety governance. METHODS Based on governance theory ,an analysis framework of “Motivation-Sharing-Performance and Feedback ” was established to explain the mechanism of cross-sector collaboration governance of drug safety. By constructing the action framework of national drug safety governance of “3 stages+1 incubation period ”,the connotation of each stage and possible challenges were analyzed ,and improvement suggestions were put forward. RESULTS & CONCUSIONS The obstacles that restricted the effectiveness of drug safety governance in China were mainly due to insufficient information ,resource mobilization and power sharing. Therefore ,the“basic collaboration stage ”should expand the scope of information sharing and involve non-governmental entities ;the“legislative coordination stage ”should focuse on the provision of formal legal systems so that non-governmental forces can play a necessary role in governance activities ;the“deepening of the coordination stage ”should promote the formal integration of social forces into governance system ,and truly realize the transition from “passive participation ” to self-management. It is recommended to continuously improve the construction of drug safety governance system in China in terms of governance norms ,communication mechanisms ,capacity development based on a holistic perspective.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To learn from pedia tric drug pricing and price incentive policy in Japan ,and to provide reference for the improvement of pediatric drug price system in China. METHODS :The drug pricing strategy of Japan was analyzed ,and price incentive policy of pediatric drugs in Japan and its implementation status and effect were summarized. The suggestions of perfecting the price system of pediatric drugs in China were put forward . RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS :The pricing strategy of medical insurance drugs in Japan included two types ,such as access pricing of medical insurance list and price adjustment of drugs in medical insurance list. Among them ,price incentive policy for pediatric drugs mainly included the premium for initial pricing of new pediatric drugs ,the premium for drugs with newly added pediatric indication included in medical insurance list and other measures(such as eligible drugs could obtain indirect price compensation ,and children ’s factors could be considered in health technology assessment ). Overall ,these measures accelerated the R&D and marketing of Japanese pediatric drugs ,and effectively promoted the development of pediatric drugs in Japan. The author suggests that our country should carry out health technology assessment which reflects the particularity of pediatric drugs ,give appropriate direct price incentives to the payment price of pediatric drugs ,and reasonably set the price of drug specification suitable for children and give price incentives so as to promote the development of pediatric drugs in China.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for further improving the establishment of drug registration applicant compliance management organizations in China. METHODS :Through introducing and analyzing the establishment ,responsibility configuration and operation mechanism of drug registration applicant compliance management organizations in the United States ,the suggestions were put forward for improving the establishment of drug registration applicant compliance management institutions in China. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS :There were two levels of compliance management organizations for drug registration applicant in the United States ;at Office of the Commissioner of FDA level ,the Compliance Policy Council was responsible for ensuring consistency in the implementation of all compliance policies in the FDA regulated area ;at the level of Center for Drug Evalution and Research (CDER)and Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA),the compliance management function was mainly undertaken by Office of New Drugs (OND),Office of Generic Drugs (OGD),Office of Compliance (OC) and Office of Communication (OCOMM)under CDER ,as well as Office of Policy and Risk Management (OPRM),OC,Office of Bioresearch Monitoring Operations(OBIMO)and Office of Pharmaceuticl Quality Operations (OPQO)under ORA ,which were responsible for developing compliance documents and procedures ,carrying out compliance education ,compliance guidance ,compliance inspection and punishment for violations. Before submission stage of drug registration application ,the compliance education function of OC and the compliance guidance function of OND/OGD played an important role ;in the application submission stage ,OND/OGD was responsible for the compliance review of application materials ;in the stage of reviewing the application materials ,OND/OGD and OC of CDER ensured drug compliance through collaboration with OC ,OBIMO and OPQO of ORA. The establishment of drug registration compliance management institutions in China was still in the preliminary exploration stage. It is suggested that China can learn from the relevant experience of the United States ,establish a multi-level or ganization structure ,set up an independent compliance education department , and strengthen thecooperation between evaluation department and compliance inspection department ,and to improve the level of compliance management of drug registration applicants in China.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for improving the supporting system of drug safety governance in China. METHODS:Through analyzing the main ways ,characteristics and effectiveness of drug safety governance in Australia ,the suggestions for building drug safety governance system in China were put forward initially. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS :The methods of Australia ’s drug safety governance are to conduct division of labor between the federal and state/territory governments , advanced-voluntary-bundled-payment-model. conduct policy consultations with different related entities separately ,guide industry self-discipline based on industrial development level,and support industry to participate in drug advertising supervision. Australia ’s drug safety governance has the characteristics of large information sharing channels ,increasing the transparency of government work ,carrying out targeted education and enhancing the governance capacity of participants etc. It has achieved significant improvement in the occurrence of drug recall events,and significant increase in the satisfaction of stakeholders in the communication activities of drug regulatory authorities. In contrast,the participation consciousness and ability of relevant entities in China are still not strong ,and the system to ensure the participation of these entities is not yet sound. It is recommended that China should pay more attention to the communication between the upper and lower levels of governments ,conduct targeted education or training for principals of non-government entities, implement the policy consultation rights of non-government entities , as well as guide self-discipline based on self-management ability of industry entities so as to initially establish drug safety governance system in China ,and enhance the governance efficiency.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To provide re ference for promoting the self-regulation development of China ’s pharmaceutical industry. METHODS :Through in-depth analysis of the self-regulation system of the UK pharmaceutical advertising industry ,this paper focused on the procedures and characteristics of the self-regulation of the UK pharmaceutical advertising industry ,and proposed the suggestions for improving the self-regulation system of China ’s pharmaceutical industry. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: Since the 1980s,the self-discipline of the pharmaceutical advertising industry in the UK has officially established its legitimacy in 2012,and distinguished the operation procedures of prescription only medicine and over-the-counter. The characteristics of the self-regulation of the pharmaceutical advertising industry in the UK are to issue guidelines to guide the industry self-regulation , select appropriate industry associations to become self-regulation institutions ,promote the effective connection between government supervision and industry self-regulation ,and ensure the continuous and effective communication between the government and industry associations. It is suggested that China should develop the guidelines for guiding industry associations to carry out self-regulation,focus on cultivating self-regulation capabilities of industry associations ,establish a cohesive mechanism between government supervision and industry self-regulation ,and build a platform for ensuring continuous and effective communication between the two parties ,thus promoting the development of self-regulation system in the pharmaceutical industry.
RESUMO
Objective To compare the difference of T-stage between Chinese 2017 staging system and the 2008 staging system for nasopharyngeal carcinoma,and to investigate the optimization of T-stage and provide suggestions for further revision.Methods The MRI data of 183 patients with histology-proven newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal carcinoma in our hospital were enrolled from September 2009 to May 2017.All the anatomic sites mentioned in the two staging systems were marked,and all patients were staged according to the 2017 staging system and the 2008 staging system for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Comparisons of T-stage were made between the two staging systems.Results Involvement of oropharynx,nasopharynx,prevertebral muscles,cervical vertebra,hypopharynx and orbit were 100% accompanied with other same or more advanced T-stage classifications.The invasion rates of the cervical vertebra,orbit and hypopharynx were very low (all < 5.00%).The incidence of involvement of pterygoid structure was 15.30%,most of which incorporated with erosion of skull base,only 1 case was invaded alone.All cases of involvement of paranasal sinuses were incorporated with erosion of skull base.Compared with the 2008 staging system,the consti-tuent ratio of T1 + T2 in the 2017 staging system increased from 36.61% to 61.75%,and that of T3 + T4decreased from 63.39% to 38.25%,the constituent ratio of T-stage between the 2017 staging system and the 2008 staging system was significantly different (x2 =26.94,P < 0.001).There was moderate consistency of T-stage between these two staging systems (Kappa =0.514,P < 0.001).Conclusion The T-stage of 2017 staging system still has a larger simplification and optimization space.Therefore,according to the principle of concise,the T-stage parameters including oropharynx,nasopharynx,prevertebral muscles,paranasal sinuses,cervical vertebra,orbit and hypopharynx are recommend to delete,and it does not have an impact on the composition of T-stage.We suggest that the pterygoid structure shall combine with the skull base to be one anatomical structure.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference and basis for strengthening the drug quality supervision of medical institutions.METHODS:The problems about the drug quality supervision of the medical institutions were analyzed from the angle of legislation.Countermeasures for strengthening drug quality supervision of medical institutions in China as well as legislative suggestions on improving drug quality supervision of medical institutions in China were put forward.RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:At present,the existing problems about drug quality supervision in medical institutions include that pharmacy setting lack mandatory standards;routine drug quality supervision is mainly the formal regulation;the punishment of drug related illegal behavior in medical institutions is too light,etc.To strengthen drug quality supervision of medical institutions in China,it is suggested that the government should establish the mandatory standards for medical institution pharmacy setting,add administrative inspections,and formulate Good Using Practice applicable to the whole country.When perfecting the law of drug quality supervision in medical institutions in China,relevant provisions may be added in The Drug Administration Law of the PRC,Regulations for the Implementation of Drug Administration Law,and the subordinate laws and regulations of Management Regulation of Medical Institutions so as to strengthen drug quality supervision of medical institutions.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To perfect public participation system of food and drug safety in China and establish“society multi-governance”of food and drug safety. METHODS:The problems of public participation in food and drug safety administration were analyzed in China. Referring to the experience of USA,Japan,South Korea and other developed countries in stage of food and drug safety legislative decision-making,regulation and enforcement and dispute settlement,the countermeasures were put forward to perfect public participation system of food and drug safety. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The public is in a passive position and shows weak right of speech in legislative decision-making stage;the public is not active and shows weak awareness of partici-pating in management in regulation and enforcement stage;public interest litigation system in dispute settlement stage has not been established. Those problems impede the generation of“society multi-governance”of food and drug safety in China. In United States,Japan,South Korea and other developed countries,the position and right of the public participation can be guaranteed com-pletely through establishing complete legal system,strengthening government information transparency,improving complaints sys-tem and public interest litigation system,etc. Our country can perfect the system of public participation in the food and drug safety and promote the generation of“society multi-governance”of food and drug safety by detailing the regulations in legislative deci-sion-making,emphasizing the information opening and feedback,strengthening the propaganda of public responsibility conscious-ness,setting up scientific food and drug safety complaint and reparting system and establishing public interest litigation system.

Results and Conclusions:According to the findings of the present investigation, the availability and affordability of biosimilars have been improved, and the bio-medicine industry has achieved great development. On the other hand, it's recommended that the guideline for the de-velopment and evaluation of biosimilars should be amended on the principle of appropriate simplification, which means to simplify the research and development procedure and exempt partial application dossier. Besides, the regis-tration procedures should be adopted continuously to ensure the stability of biosimilars' R&D and registration.
RESUMO
This study focuses on comparing the 2015 edition of WHO model list of essential medicines for children with the 2012 edition of list of national essential medicines for children in respects of drug categories,dosage forms,specifications and medica?tion information. The number of essential medicines available for children in China roughly equals to that of WHO model list of essen?tial medicines for children. Though China′s list provides more specific and children-agreeable specifications,it lags behind the WHO list with respect to the number of dosage forms and information concerning pediatric weight limitation ,drug combination and alterna?tives. It is recommended that research and development on dosage forms for children should be strengthened to solve the problem of pe?diatric drugs shortage. Also,more clinical trials should be developed as supporting evidence. Based on adapting to the needs of basic health services of children,essential medicines list for children in China should be established.
