OBJECTIVE:To investigate the risk,advantages and disadvantages and countermeasures of new drugs,generic drugs and imported drugs in different transfer opportunities,and to provide basis for improvement of development strategy for phar-maceutical enterprises. METHODS:The analysis was done in accordance with relevant regulations on transferable projects in the process of applying for registrations of new drugs,generic drugs and imported drugs. The transfer period and risk were explored and countermeasures were put forward. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:Transferable projects included intellectual property rights (patents,patent application,technical secrets,application information,non-disclosed data,etc.)and ownership rights(clinical tri-al approvals,new drug certificates,drug approval number,pharmaceutical product registration certificates,imported product regis-tration certificates,etc.)in the process of applying for registrations. There are 4 opportunities for drug technology transfer,opportu-nity 1 is before applying clinical trial approvals after the completion of non-clinical research such as pharmacology,toxicology;op-portunity 2 is ahead of clinical trial after the acquirement of clinical trial approvals;opportunity 3 is new drug technology transfer;opportunity 4 is production technology transfer. The new drugs have 4 transfer opportunities,generic drugs and imported drugs can transfer in opportunity 1,2,4. Different transfer opportunities present different risks and profits. The risk gradually decreases with the further promotion of drug registration process,while the innovation decreases at the same time. Pharmaceutical enterprises should combine with the policy,market and their own features to select a suitable transfer period.

Acupuncture Research 2019;44(4):242-247
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on neurological behavior and activity of Toll-like receptor 2 / nuclear factor kappa B (TLR2/NF-κB) signaling of the ischemic cerebral area in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) rats, so as to explore its mechanisms underlying improvement of CIRI. METHODS: A total of 120 male SD rats were randomly divided into blank control, sham operation, model, EA and EA+NF-κB inhibitor (Pyrrolidine Dithiocarbamate Hydrochloride, PDTC, EA+PDTC) groups which were further divided into 3, 7, 14 and 28 d subgroups (n=6 in each subgroup). The CIRI model was established by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery for 90 min, followed by reperfusion. EA (1-20 Hz, 6 V) was applied to "Shuigou" (GV26), "Neiguan" (PC6), "Sanyinjiao" (SP6) and "Weizhong" (BL40) for 30 min, once a day for 28 days. For rats of the EA+PDTC group, PDTC solution (120 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected on the 3rd day after successful modeling and before EA intervention. The neurological deficit severity (Zea Longa score) was assessed 3, 7, 14 and 28 days after modeling. The expression levels of TLR2, Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK) and NF-κB mRNAs in the ischemic penumbra region of brain tissue were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. RESULTS: Following modeling, the neurological deficit scores were significantly increased from the 3rd day on after CIRI (P<0.05), the expression levels of TLR2 mRNA on day 3, 7, 14 and 28, and IRAK mRNA on day 3 and 7, as well as NF-κB mRNA on day 3, 7 and 14 were significantly up-regulated in the model group relevant to the blank control group (P<0.05). After EA intervention, the neurological deficit scores were significantly decreased in the EA group on day 3, 7 and 28 and in the EA+PDTC group on day 3, 7, 14 and 28 in comparison with those of the model group (P<0.05). In addition, the expression levels of TLR2 mRNA and NF-κB mRNA on day 3, 7 and 14 in the EA group, and on day 3, 7, 14 and 28 in the EA+PDTC group, IRAK mRNA on day 3 in the EA and EA+PDTC group were significantly down-regulated (P<0.05), but those of IRAK mRNA on day 14 and 28 in the EA group were significantly up-regulated in comparison with those of the model group (P<0.05). The effect of the EA+PDTC was obviously superior to that of simple EA in down-regulating the expression of TLR2 (on day 28), and IRAK (on day 3, 14, 28), and NF-κB (on day 3, 7 and 14) (all P<0.05). CONCLUSION: EA stimulation can improve the symptoms of neurological deficits in CIRI rats, which may be related to its effect in suppressing the expression of TLR2, NF-κB and IRAK mRNAs of the ischemic cerebral tissue, i.e., down-regulating the activity of TLR2/NF-κB signaling.
7. Comparison on three methods for identification of critical process parameters
Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2016;47(18):3193-3198
Objective: To investigate the characteristics of multiple linear regression method, stepwise regression method, and standardized partial regression coefficient method for the identification of critical process parameters. Methods: The acid precipitation and alkaline dissolution process of Scutellariae Radix (SR) water extract was investigated as an example. Results: Similar results were obtained using three different methods. The concentration of SR water extract, pH value of acid precipitation, pH value of alkali dissolution, and refrigeration temperature were considered as critical process parameters. Conclusion: The selection of threshold values of the three methods all are subjective. Multiple linear regression method is simple, but is not as sensitive as stepwise regression method. The effects of a parameter on several process indices can be considered simultaneously and easily weighted using standardized partial regression coefficient method.

Objective To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of different HbA1C cutoff points for diabetes diagnosis in high risk outpatients in Harbin.Methods A total of 2 122 high risk outpatients(male 1 032 and female 1 090)for diabetes screening in the Fourth affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from April 2013 to February 2015 were included in this study, with the average age of(49.26±13.00)year. Oral glucose tolerance tests(OGTT)were conducted and HbA1C levels were examined in these patients. The sensitivity and specificity of different HbA1C cutoff points were calculated and a receiver operator characteristic(ROC)curve was then built.Results The average level of HbA1C in these subjects was(6.45±1.72)%. The prevalence of diabetes was 41.85%. The area under ROC curve(AUC)was 0.89 with the optimal cutoff point of HbA1C 6.0% and 0.68 for the highest Yonden index. The sensitivity and specificity of HbA1C 6.0% were 84.01% and 83.67% respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of HbA1C 6.5% were 62.84% and 95.92%, respectively. The AUC of HbA1C≥6.5% was 0.732. Conclusion HbA1C works well as the diagnostic standard for diabetes in high risk outpatients of Harbin city. The cutoff point of HbA1C 6.0% is suitable for screening diabetes in high risk population, and HbA1C 6.5% is appropriate for diabetes diagnosis, with high sensitivity and specificity.
