Off-label drug use is a global problem in clinical practice. The management status, attitude and medical insurance coverage of off-label drug use are different in various countries. By analyzing the management and reimbursement policy of off-label drug use in other countries, the authors suggested that China should speed up the institutional arrangements of off-label drug use and establish relevant management systems, and strengthen the supervision of off-label drug use, so as to guarantee the rights of patients to the best treatment.

Objective After implementation of new standard iodized salt,to comprehensively assess the iodine nutrition levels of different populations in Dali City of Yunnan Province.Methods From 2012 to 2015,in Dali City,there were 5 districts divided into east,west,south,north and middle,each district selected 1 township (town),and each township (town) selected 4 administrative villages,15 households for edible salt in each administrative village were sampled,and the salt iodine content was measured by "General Test Method in Salt Industry Determination of Iodine" (GB/T 13025.7-2012).In 2014,in the five districts of east,west,south,north and middle of Dali City,one township (town) was selected,and 20 pregnant women in the early,middle and late stages,respectively,20 lactating women,20 ordinary healthy adults and 20 children aged 0 to 4 were selected from each township (town);one primary school in each township (town) was selected in each district,and 40 students aged 8-10 years old were selected from each primary school as the survey objects.The urine samples of the survey objects were collected,and the urinary iodine content was measured by "Method for Determination of Iodine in Urine by As3+-Ce4+ Catalytic Spectrophotometry" (WS/T 107-2006).In 2015,in each administrative village of Dali,a water source with the largest number of drinking people was investigated,and water iodine was detected by the "Method of Water Iodine Detection Suitable for Iodine Deficiency and High Iodine Areas".Through questionnaires,the sources of iodine supplementation for pregnant and lactating women were investigated.Results The qualified iodized salt consumption rate of residents was higher than 90％ per year from 2012 to 2015,and median of salt iodine decreased from 29.38 mg/kg (2012) to 24.96 mg/kg (2015).The medians of urinary iodine in different populations were 136.85 μg/L for pregnant women (n =356),102.63 μg/L for lactating women (n =111),164.03 μg/L for adults (n =163),209.61 μg/L for 8-10 years old children (n =200),157.27 μg/L for children aged 0-＜ 2 years old (n =57),and 134.08 μg/L for 2-4 years old children (n =50).The median of iodine content of drinking water (n =142) in Dali was 0.62 μg/L,the range of iodine content was 0.00-9.92 μg/L.The average intake frequencies of iodine-rich seaweed for pregment women and lacting women were 0.99,1.07 time/month,respectively,only 1.99％ (9/453) of the population supplemented iodine through multivitamin and minerals tablets.Conclusions After reduction of salt iodine content,the iodine nutrition of populations in Dali City (a low water iodine region) is generally at an appropriate level.Maintaining a higher level of qualified iodized salt consumption rate,strengthening the monitoring of different populations and promotion of healthy behaviors are key steps in prevention and control of the disease in the future.

Objective To optimize the extraction process of main iridoid glycosides in Damnacanthus officinarum Huang and evaluate the antioxidant activity of Damnacanthus officinarum Huang in vitro. Methods The classical heating-reflux extraction method was selected. The volume fraction of ethanol, the volume of solvent and extraction time were taken as the evaluation factors. The comprehensive score of extraction yield and the monotropein content were used as the evaluation indexes. An orthogonal test was designed to select the best extraction conditions. The total reducing capacity, DPPH clearance rate and hydroxyl radical scavenging rate were measured to determine its antioxidant activity in vitro. Results The optimal extraction process was the reflux with 6 times volume of 60% ethanol for 2 hours. Damnacanthus officinarum Huang has certain antioxidant capacity, and the activity of ethyl acetate part had the best effect. Conclusion The optimized extraction process is stable and feasible, which can be used for extraction of the iridoid glycosides from Damnacanthus officinarum Huang. This study has proved that Damnacanthus officinarum Huang has certain antioxidant activity.

Remote pharmaceutical care refers to the process that pharmacists provide pharmaceutical care to patients remotely through information technology. Remote pharmaceutical care in China starts late and develops slowly. Therefore ，this paper discusses the pharmaceutical care modes that pharmacists at home and abroad can provide under the remote mode by collecting literature. The results show that foreign remote pharmaceutical care starts early and is relatively mature. The service mainly included remote follow-up and intervention ，24-hour online prescription and order review ，24-hour online drug reorganization ，and guidance on rational drug use in remote areas or community hospitals. The service population covers patients with cardiovascular disease ， diabetes，asthma，AIDS and so on. Some hospitals have established an integrated pharmaceutical care system of “Internet+Medical Consortium”in China ，with which pharmacists can provide patients with pharmaceutical care such as remote follow-up and intervention，drug consultation and so on. With the promotion of telemedicine ，domestic pharmacists can gradually expand the scope of services ，expand pharmaceutical services such as remote consultation and remote popular science push ，and realize the sharing of high-quality pharmaceutical care for the whole people.
