ObjectiveTo probe into the influence of the zero price margin for drugs on the revenue-expenditure structure at primary healthcare organizations.MethodsOne of the pilot districts experimenting with this system in Ningbo city was earmarked as the research object.Within this district,the data of their revenue,expenditure and surplus were collected from 20 primary healthcare organizations prior to and after the zero price margin for drugs was in place for classification analysis.ResultsThe percentage of service revenue among the total revenue has dropped from 68.34％ before the system was in place to 65.44％ after,reducing 4.24％.The percentage of drug revenue has dropped from 71.68％ before to 63.57％ after,reducing 11.31％.The percentage of service surplus has dropped from 15.81％ before to - 23.07％ after,reducing 245.94％.The total standard workload has increased 61.77％.Average medical expense per outpatient and per inpatient has reduced 32.85％ and 57.18％,from 71.44yuan and 2642.08 yuan before to 48.33 yuan and 1131.28 yuan after respectively.ConclusionThe deficit rise and higher percentage of drug revenue at primary healthcare organizations deserve attention.A comprehensive reform is recommended to establish a regular government financial support mechanism,further adjust the revenue-expenditure structure,set up the system of rational drug use,and effectively reduce the medical expense of patients.

ObjectiveThrough a randomized， double-blind， double-simulation， positive-control， multicenter design， this study aimed to analyze the relationship between the dosage， efficacy， and safety of Pudilan anti-inflammatory oral liquid in treating acute pharyngitis/tonsillitis in adults caused by bacterial infection and validate the regulatory effect of Pudilan anti-inflammatory oral liquid on inflammatory markers such as serum amyloid A （SAA）， C-reactive protein （CRP）， white blood cells （WBC）， neutrophil percentage （NE%）， and erythrocyte sedimentation rate （ESR）， thereby exploring the feasibility of using Pudilan anti-inflammatory oral liquid as a substitute for antibiotics in the treatment of infectious diseases and providing a basis for rational clinical medication. MethodUsing a stratified randomized， double-blind， double-simulation， positive-control， multicenter design， 220 participants were enrolled from nine centers. The participants were randomly divided into three groups at 1∶1∶1 — a Pudilan anti-inflammatory oral liquid 20 mL group （73 cases）， a Pudilan anti-inflammatory oral liquid 10 mL group （73 cases）， and a control group （amoxicillin group， 74 cases）. The treatment course was 7 days. The study observed parameters including the total effective rate of sore throat， onset and disappearance time of sore throat， health status score， treatment time， and inflammation markers. Result①Dataset division： The 211 cases were included in the full analysis dataset （FAS）， 208 cases were included in the per-protocol dataset （PPS）， and 218 cases were included in the safety dataset （SS）. ② Efficacy evaluation： There were statistically significant differences （P<0.05） in the comparison of the three groups regarding the total effective rate of sore throat， disappearance time of sore throat， and health status. Both the 20 mL and 10 mL groups were non-inferior to the control group， and there was a statistically significant difference between the 20 mL and 10 mL dosage groups （P<0.05）. There was no statistically significant difference in the comparison of onset time of sore throat among the groups. CRP， WBC， and NE% of patients in all three groups significantly decreased on the 7^th day of treatment compared with those before treatment （P<0.01）. ③Safety evaluation： Adverse events mainly occurred in various examination indicators. There were no statistically significant differences in the comparison between groups， and no adverse reactions or serious adverse events occurred. ④Economic evaluation： The increased cost of the 10 mL and 20 mL dosage groups was entirely justified as compared with that in the control group. When comparing the 10 mL and 20 mL dosage groups， the 10 mL dosage group was deemed less advantageous. ConclusionPudilan anti-inflammatory oral liquid can be used alone as an alternative to antibiotics in the treatment of acute pharyngitis/tonsillitis caused by bacterial infection. It demonstrates good safety and can lower inflammation markers such as CRP， WBC， and NE%， suggesting its potential to reduce the body's inflammatory response. Its mechanism of action may be related to its multi-target regulatory mechanism.
