Objective To analyze the policy texts related to pediatric medications in China over the past decade,to explore the deficiencies in existing policy formulation from the perspective of stakeholders,and to propose reasonable optimization suggestions based on the current situation.Methods Collecting national-level policies related to pediatric drugs in China from 2013 to 2023,a two-dimensional policy analysis framework of"Policy tools-Stakeholder"were established.And the content analysis method was used to code,categorize,and statistically analyze the policy texts.Results A total of 54 pediatric drug policies were included in the analysis.In terms of policy tools,a total of 197 policy codes were formed,with environmental tools being the most prevalent with 92 codes(46.70%),primarily consisting of regulatory management tools(28 codes,30.43%).This was followed by supply-oriented tools with 53 codes(26.90%),mainly focused on the issuance of technical guidelines(21 codes,39.62%).Demand-oriented tools accounted for the least with 52 codes(26.40%),with inter-departmental collaboration tools having the highest proportion(17 codes,32.69%).In the dimension of stakeholders,a total of 223 policy codes were formed,with the government having the highest number of codes at 133(59.64%),followed by medical institutions with 56 codes(25.11%).The proportions for medical personnel,pharmaceutical companies,and patients were similar,with 14 codes(6.28%),11 codes(4.93%),and 9 codes(4.04%),respectively.Conclusions Pediatric drugs face challenges with policy tools where supply-oriented tools,particularly those providing financial support,suffer from insufficient policy depth and customization.The demand-oriented tools have a low proportion,leading to structural imbalance and underutilized effectiveness;the environment-oriented tools focus more on regulation than incentives,restricting the accessibility of pediatric drugs;the potential of multiple stakeholders is not fully activated,and there is a lack of policies centered around pediatric patients.To address these issues,supply-oriented policy tools need to establish a diversified financial support model and clearly define the scope of coverage.Demand-oriented policy tools require further adjustments to the catalog,procurement upgrades,and international collaborative research to reshape the pediatric drug security system.Environmental policy tools should enhance economic support,strengthen intellectual property rights,and implement targeted education to build a development ecosystem for pediatric drugs.Regarding stakeholders,it is essential to strengthen multi-stakeholder collaboration and optimize pediatric drug policy tools with a patient-centered approach.

Objective:
To explore the types of medication adherence and their influencing factors among inpatients with chronic diseases based on latent profile analysis, so as to provide the basis for improving medication adherence among patients with chronic diseases.
Methods:
The inpatients with chronic diseases admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University were selected as the study subjects. Demographic information, chronic disease status, and health education were collected through questionnaire surveys. Medication adherence was assessed using the Medication Adherence Scale and categorized based on the scores of its eight items through latent profile analysis. Factors affecting medication adherence among inpatients with chronic diseases were analyzed using a multinomial logistic regression model.
Results:
Totally 290 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.64%. There were 157 males (54.14%) and 133 females (45.86%), with a median age of 61 (interquartile range, 21) years. The median score of medication adherence was 4.75 (interquartile range, 4.50). Based on latent profile analysis, medication adherence was categorized into three types: subjective neglect with poor adherence (38.97%), subjective confidence with fluctuating adherence (28.28%), and self-reflective with good adherence (32.76%). Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that compared to the subjective confidence with fluctuating adherence, family monthly income (5 000-10 000 yuan, OR=2.981, 95%CI: 1.055-8.429), comorbidity of chronic diseases (OR=3.478, 95%CI: 1.579-7.661), number of health education sessions received in the past year (≤1 session, OR=0.329, 95%CI: 0.120-0.907; 2 sessions, OR=0.363, 95%CI: 0.138-0.950), and health information literacy scores (<60 points, OR=2.596, 95%CI: 1.209-5.573) were statistically associated with subjective neglect with poor adherence (all P<0.05).
Conclusion
Subjective neglect with poor medication adherence among inpatients with chronic diseases is associated with family monthly income, comorbidity of chronic diseases, the number of health education sessions received, and health information literacy.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of 1,25-(OH)2D3 analogs paricalcitol on proteinuriaindiabeticnephropathy (DN)rats, andtoinvestigateitspossiblemechanism.Methods DN model rats were established by intraperitoneal injection with streptozotocin.All the DN rats were randomly divided into the paricalcitol group(group P ) and DN group(group D).Healthy rats were chosen as healthy control group(group N).24-h urinary protein and serum biochemical indicators were examined after 12 weeks.ELISA was applied to detect the level of renin and Ang Ⅱ in the kidney.Immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR were used to detect the protein and mRNA expression of heparanases(HPA)and podoein.Results Compared with group N,24-h urinary protein,serum creatinine,renin and Ang Ⅱ in group D and group P were markedly increased,and they were significantly higher in group D as compared to group P (all P<0.05).Compared with group N,the expression of HPA protein and mRNA in group D and group P increased markedly,and higher expression was found in group D(all P<0.05).The expression of podocin protein and mRNA in group D and group P decreased markedly,and lower expression was found in group D(all P<0.05).Renin level was positively correlated with HPA protein expression (r=0.78,P<O.OS),negatively correlated with podocin protein expression(r=-0.63,P<O.05),and not correlated with their mRNA expression.Conclusion Paricalcitol can significantly reduce the proteinuria,which may be associated with the inhibition of renin by down-regulating protein expression of HPAin glomerular basement membrane and up-regulating protein expression of podocin in podocyte.
