Objective:To provide some suggestions for improving the pharmaceutical advertisement supervision system and standardizing the pharmaceutical advertisement market. Methods: Literature reviews, statistical analysis and interviews were adopted to study the status quo and difficulties of pharmaceutical advertisement supervision and pharmaceutical advertisement trends. Results:The top-level design of pharmaceutical advertisements supervision sys-tem has two defects:the separation between approval and penalty and the obstacles to cooperation at all levels of the drug administration. The worsening status quo of illegal drug advertising has elicited concern from scholars and regu-lators. However, there are still some difficulties in the supervision of drug advertisers, advertising agents, and pub-lishers. Conclusion:It is suggested that the drug advertising regulation system should be perfected by strengthening information supervision, establishing a coordination mechanism and consolidating self-discipline consciousness. Addi-tionally, laws and regulations should be promptly revised as an essential way to improve the effects of supervision.

Objective To study the application of ABCD3-I score in predicting the risk of early is-chemic stoke after transient ischemic attack (TIA) .Methods One hundred and eighty-two carotid TIA patients were divided into low risk group (n=40) ,moderate risk group (n=74)and high risk group (n=68) according to their ABCD2 ,ABCD3 and ABCD3-I scores .The incidence of ischemic stroke was observed within 7 days after TIA .Results The area under the ROC curve for ischemic stroke within 7 days after TIA was 0 .625 ,0 .713 and 0 .831 ,respectively .Twenty-seven patients (14 .8% ) developed ischemic stroke within 7 days after TIA .The incidence of ischemic stroke was significantly higher in moderate and high risk groups than in low risk group and in high risk group than in moderate risk group (6 .8% vs 0% ,32 .4% vs 0% ,32 .4% vs 6 .8% ,P< 0 .01) .The ABCD3-I socre was positively related with the incidence of ischemic stroke within 7 days after TIA (r=0 .486 ,P<0 .01) ,suggesting that ABCD3-I socre could significantly affect the incidence of ischemic stroke within 7 days after TIA (P<0 .05) .Conclusion ABCD3-I score can effectively predict the risk of early ischemic stroke after TIA ,and can thus be used in assessment and treat-ment of T IA .

In this study, a literature review was adopted to specify terminology of biosimilars and demonstrate the basic characteristic of biologics and relevant research and development ( R&D) procedures. The regulatory frame-work of the European Medicines Agency ( EMA ) guidelines on biosimilars was introduced. Explicitly, regulatory guidelines and scientific principles, regarding biosimilarity, safety and immunogenicity, extrapolation, labels and names, data protection, were systematically introduced, as well as interchangeability and pharmacovigilance, respec-tively. The purpose of the study is to provide regulatory references for Chinese legislators and recommendations on the R&D of biosimilars in the biopharmaceutical industry.

The paper summarizes the background, development history and current state of good review prac-tice ( GRP) in the United States of America. On this basis, the paper then focuses on measures for the realization of GRP policy objective and introduces the effects of GRP by using the statistical data of the median time to application approval and approval rates of New drug applications( NDAs) and Biological License Applications( BLAs) on the first cycle. Through research, the paper considers a set of scientific and comprehensive GRP that can effectively guarantee the quality of drug reviews and improve the efficiency of drug reviews. However, China’s GRP is not complete yet. So it also suggests that improving GRP in China further by detailing the timeline of drug review in China, developing workable review templates, emphasizing training and the continuous improvement of GRP.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the limitation of the current TRIPS due to local protection and to seek for a balance between drug patent protection and public health.METHODS: The related clauses in TRIPS in terms of protection on drug patent and public health were introduced,and Nordhaus' model was used to analyze the conflict between drug patent protection and public health.RESULTS: The area with minimum level of drug patent protection can't be enlarged infinitely geographically.CONCLUSIONS: Preferential policies should be given to the developing countries to secure the public health while strengthening the drug patent protection gradually.
