OBJECTIVE: To discuss whether the "Trusteeship of Hospital Drugstore" of mode is conducive to drug price reduction and reduction of patients' medical expense for the benefit of patients and whether this model is helpful for hospital management. METHODS: It analyzed the possible problems involved in "Trusteeship of Hospital Drugstore": such as it may lead to a "new monopolization of drug management", emergence of new "type medicine representatives", formation of "benefit league", physicians' prescribing "big prescription", thus failing to pose a threat to the "false high" price of drugs in the price chain but bringing about difficulty to hospital drug control and decreasing of drug quality etc. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: In view of the fact that current medical level and service income being unable to embody their actual value and the misalignment between supply and demand information of drugs,"Trusteeship of Hospital Drugstore" is still unable to free hospital from the trivial and complicated pharmaceutical affairs, nor can it surely bring down the "false high" drug price and reduce patients' medical expenses for the benefit people.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the extraction process for Sihuang paste.METHODS:The Radix et Rhizoma Rhei,Radix Scutellariae were extracted with ethanol,and the effects of the concentration and dosage of ethanol,and the ext-racting time,extraction times on the content of emodin were investigated by orthogonal experiment.The Rhizoma coptidis and Cortex Phellodendri were extracted by water decoction method,and the effects of amount of water,the soaking time,the decoction time and decoction times on the content of tannin were investigated by orthogonal experiment.RESULTS:The optimum alcohol extracting condition for Radix et Rhizoma Rhei,Radix Scutellaria was as follows:adding 60% alcohol at a dose of 6 times that of the total medicinal substances and extracting for 1 h/time for 3 times.The optimum water extracting condition for Rhizoma Coptidis and Cortex Phellodendri was as follows:soaking medicinal substances in water(with the ratio of medicinal substances to water at 1∶6)for 0.5 h,decocting for 2 h and extracting for 3 times.CONCLUSION:The optimized methods are simple and stable,which provide theoretic basis for industrial production.
