Objective To analyze the incidence of congenital syphilis in four regions of China from 2005 to 2020 and predict its change trend, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of congenital syphilis. Methods The incidence data of congenital syphilis in eastern, western, central and northeastern China from 2005 to 2020 were collected. The annual change percentage (APC) and average annual change percentage (AAPC) were calculated by Joinpoint software, and the change trend was analyzed. The ARIMA model was established by SPSS26.0 software to predict the incidence from 2021 to 2025. Results From 2005 to 2020, there were 107 504 cases of congenital syphilis, and the incidence reached the peak in 2011, which was 0.90/100 000, and decreased to 0.09/100 000 in 2020. The incidence of congenital syphilis in the eastern, central, western, and northeastern regions of China decreased to 0.07/100 000, 0.06/100 000, 0.12/100 000, and 0.15/100 000 in 2020, respectively. Joinpoint regression analysis found that from 2005 to 2020, the incidence of congenital syphilis showed a downward trend in the whole country (AAPC=-8.68%, t=-5.18, P<0.05), the eastern region (AAPC=-12.01%, t=-6.81, P<0.05), the central region (AAPC=-5.45%, t=-2.09, P<0.05), and the western region (AAPC=-6.05%, t=-3.00, P<0.05), while the incidence in the northeast region was relatively stable (AAPC=-1.66%, t=-1.18,P>0.05). The ARIMA (2,2,0) model was constructed to predict that the annual incidence of congenital syphilis from 2021 to 2025 would be 0.06/100,000, 0.03/100,000, 0.02/100,000, 0.01/100,000, and 0.01/100,000, respectively. Conclusion From 2005 to 2020, the incidence of congenital syphilis in China shows an overall downward trend. The western and northeastern regions are the key prevention and control areas, and the work of "eliminating mother to child transmission of syphilis" needs to be continuously promoted.

OBJECTIVE To draw upon the United States’ experience in charging for drug dispensing services and provide reference for designing China’s fee scheme for such services. METHODS Relevant literature and official websites were reviewed to systematically summarize the evolution of dispensing fees in the U.S., charging methods and standards across different health insurance plans, and factors influencing fee determination. The key characteristics of the U.S. fee system were summarized. Recommendations for improving China’s related practices were then proposed. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The U.S. dispensing fee system has undergone four stages of conceptual emergence, model exploration, system establishment, and professional development, forming a prescription-based charging model independent of drug prices. Under a unified federal framework, health insurance programs set a differentiated dispensing fee system based on actual costs and factors such as drug category, pharmacy type, prescription volume, and policy objectives, reflecting pharmacists’ professional value and ensuring sustainable service provision. Although China has recognized dispensing fees at the national level, implementation still faces barriers including insufficient value recognition and pressure on medical insurance payment. Drawing on U.S. experience and considering China’s national context, it is recommended to strengthen empirical research on the value assessment of dispensing services to support medical insurance decision-making; standardize the methodology for dispensing cost measurement and clarify the basis for fee setting by incorporating pharmacists’ professional and technical value as well as public interests; explore differentiated charging models at the provincial level with prescriptions as the basic unit, with emphasis on professional expertise and dispensing risks, and continuously strengthen pharmacists’ professional capacity to facilitate the scientific formulation and effective implementation of dispensing service fee policies.

OBJECTIVE To clarify the institutional logics of the dilemma of the use of national medical insurance negotiation drugs(referred to as “national negotiation drugs”), and promote the implementation and use of these drugs in medical institutions. METHODS Based on the complex institutional environment in which medical institutions were situated, the theory of multiple institutional logics was used to construct an analytical framework for the behavioral choices of medical institutions, and reveal the mechanism of the difficulty in the use of national negotiation drugs by clarifying the interaction and conflict of multiple logics in this process, so as to put forward some measures. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS There were contradictions and coupling among the state logic, market logic, social logic and professional logic in the use of national negotiation drugs. In the game of multiple logics, the market logic and professional logic tended to be risk-averse, the failed “pressure-type system” of state logic, and the social logic was weakened, which caused the lack of action in the use of national negotiation drugs with the goal of completing performance evaluations in the current medical institutions. Thus, it is suggested to unbundle the invisible policy restrictions on the use of national negotiation drugs, form the pressure and motivation of medical institutions by incentive and constraint mechanisms, respond to the clinical demand by establishing a green procurement channel, and construct the supervision mechanism on the use of national negotiation drugs by social force, etc., so as to enhance the effect of the national negotiation drugs.

There are certain limitations in the current clinical evaluation methods and evaluation modes of new Chinese herbal medicines for syndromes, and there is a lack of a clinical evaluation system that meets the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Based on the characteristics of TCM "syndrome differentiation and treatment" and "correspondence of formulas and syndromes", the target design model, hypothesis and its scope of application are proposed on the basis of the combination of diseases and syndromes. On the basis of fully considering the dual factors of diseases and syndromes, we distinguished the "centre of the target", "middle ring" and "outer ring" through the differences of different signs and symptoms in people with same syndrome, in order to determine the degree of conformity of the syndrome. Then, the population with same syndrome could be analysed according to the "centre of the target", "middle ring" and "outer ring", so as to achieve the precise positioning of new Chinese herbal medicines for syndromes, and try to provide research ideas and methods for syndrome differentiation and treatment of TCM and precise intervention.

China Pharmacy 2022;33(3):257-262
OBJECTIVE To provide reference for clarifying the action and development direction of China ’s drug safety governance. METHODS Based on governance theory ,an analysis framework of “Motivation-Sharing-Performance and Feedback ” was established to explain the mechanism of cross-sector collaboration governance of drug safety. By constructing the action framework of national drug safety governance of “3 stages+1 incubation period ”,the connotation of each stage and possible challenges were analyzed ,and improvement suggestions were put forward. RESULTS & CONCUSIONS The obstacles that restricted the effectiveness of drug safety governance in China were mainly due to insufficient information ,resource mobilization and power sharing. Therefore ,the“basic collaboration stage ”should expand the scope of information sharing and involve non-governmental entities ;the“legislative coordination stage ”should focuse on the provision of formal legal systems so that non-governmental forces can play a necessary role in governance activities ;the“deepening of the coordination stage ”should promote the formal integration of social forces into governance system ,and truly realize the transition from “passive participation ” to self-management. It is recommended to continuously improve the construction of drug safety governance system in China in terms of governance norms ,communication mechanisms ,capacity development based on a holistic perspective.
