    Objective: To compare the regulatory policies of various provinces on the storage and transportation of drug third-party logistics, and to put forward feasible suggestions for strengthening the supervision of drug third-party logistics. Methods: By searching the websites of the National Medical Products Administration and provincial medical products administration, the regulatory policies on drug third-party logistics storage and transportation were obtained, the policies of diff erent provinces and the relevant provisions of the Good Supply Practic were compared and analyzed, and suggestions were put forward. Results: Through comparison, it was found that the policies of various provinces on storage and transportation mainly focused on the storage area, storage facilities and equipment, cold storage quantity and volume requirements, cold storage power supply guarantee, temperature and humidity monitoring system, storage management system, vehicle quantity and vehicle equipment, transportation vehicle management, special drug transportation, transportation management system and other aspects. However, there were some diff erences in the specifi c regulations of diff erent provinces. Moreover, the policy documents of most provinces still had problems: storage management policies were not unifi ed, storage areas were not clearly divided, storage facilities and equipment provisions were not specific, transport-related policies were not comprehensive, and provisions were not made to ensure the normal temperature environment during the transportation of normal temperature drugs. Conclusion: Drug regulatory authorities should strengthen the scientifi c supervision of drug third-party logistics, and establish a unifi ed third-party logistics management system. Drug third-party logistics enterprises should strengthen the construction of infrastructure and equipment, and strive to improve their own storage and transportation level. All relevant parties should make joint eff orts to promote the healthy and orderly development of the pharmaceutical third-party logistics industry.

    Objective: To conduct the in vivo toxicity study of repeated administration of oncolytic virus drug HSV-1/hPD-1 in cynomolgus macaques, and to find out the safety dose range, so as to provide informative references for subsequent clinical trials. Methods: Thirty cynomolgus macaques were randomly divided into three groups including control group, HSV-1/hPD-1 low and high-dose groups (1.0×108 , 4.0×108 pfu), with five animals per sex per group. The monkeys were intramuscularly injected twice a week for consecutive six weeks following an eight-week recovery phase. Animals were observed clinical symptoms daily and irritation of injective sites on days 1 and 2 post injection. Body weight was measured once weekly and food consumption was visually estimated daily. Other toxicological parameters including safety pharmacology (body temperature, blood pressure, electrocardiogram), clinical pathology (hematology, coagulation, biochemical, urinalysis), immunology (T lymphocyte, cytokine, immunogenicity), histopathology and organ weight were scheduled to be detected at the quarantine period, after the fi rst dosing, the end of dosing and recovery period. Results: All animas tolerated well and didn’t show obvious changes in clinical signs, injective irritation, body weight, food consumption, and pharmacology and clinical pathology indexes. On day 41, increased CD3+ CD4+ T lymphocytes were inspected in low dose animals. From days 13 to 97, antibody against HSV-1 vector, expressed PD-1 protein and antiantibody were continuously detected in low and high dose animals, which were considered correlation with immunostimulation and immunogenicity attributed to test articles. The histopathological fi ndings were recoverable minimal to moderate mixed cell infiltration in injection site of low and high dose animals and unrecoverable minimal myelin/axonal damage in sciatic nerve of high dose animals. The change of organ weight wasn’t detected in both groups. Conclusion: After repeated administration of oncolytic virus drug HSV-1/hPD-1, cynomolgus macaques showed good tolerance in vivo, and the no-observed-adverse-eff ect-level (NOAEL) of the test substance was 1.0×108 pfu. Our research data could be used to support subsequent clinical trials.

The interviews showed that the drug management personnel of medical institutions did not have a proper understanding of the Red-Yellow-Green price monitoring policy, and some medical institutions had not established a complete and transparent internal management system. Conclusion: The drug price control policy has been effectively implemented, maintaining reasonable prices in the drug market and promoting rational drug use in medical institutions. However, the complexity of different drug regulatory policies has a certain limiting effect on doctors' prescribing behavior. It is suggested that different policies should be well coordinated and refined, medical institutions should establish a transparent price monitoring system, and strengthen the training of medical staff .

    Objective: To investigate the impact of different production processes on insoluble particles and explore methods to improve the control level of insoluble particles in imported and domestic infusion through the analysis of quantity and morphology of insoluble particles in 36 batches of sodium chloride basic infusion. Methods: The number of insoluble particles between 2-10 μm was analyzed by light obscuration method and microflow imaging (MFI), and the results were statistically analyzed. Results: The percentage of insoluble particles in 2-10 μm channels was greater than 90%. The average and range of insoluble particles in products made by ISBM were smaller than those made by BFS, however, there was no significant difference between them. The packaging had a significant impact on the number of insoluble particles. The average value of insoluble particles in the upright polypropylene infusion bag (double valve) samples was the lowest, which showed a significant difference compared to the other three kinds of packaging. The production line had a significant impact on insoluble particles. Under the same process method and packaging conditions, the results of different production lines were different. The average value of insoluble particles analyzed by MFI was linearly correlated with the light obscuration method. The sources of insoluble particles may include rubber plug debris, plastic particles, and fibers. Conclusion: There is a significant difference in the number of insoluble particles in different products between 2-10 μm, indicating that attention should be paid to the control of insoluble particles (<10 μm). This study provides strategies to improve the safety of domestic and imported basic infusion.

    Hepatitis B is a contagious disease that poses a severe threat to human health, caused by the infection of the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV). HBV infection is a prevalent worldwide, resulting in significant public health issues. Currently, with the administration of vaccines, and the treatment of antiviral drugs, the infection rate of HBV has been reduced. However, the eradication of HBV remains a major challenge. HBV markers are the primary indicators for diagnosing HBV infection, monitoring the progression of the disease, and evaluating the efficacy of antiviral treatment. Clinically, HBV markers mainly include traditional serological markers, virological markers, and new markers. In recent years, new markers have been developed which can more accurately evaluate the activity of HBV infection and the efficacy of antiviral therapy, and are of great value in monitoring the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. In this paper, the clinical significance and research progress of HBV markers, especially new markers, are reviewed, in order to provide references for accurate diagnosis, treatment and clinical prognosis of HBV.
