2014年伊始，医药上市公司延续了2013年的并购浪潮。多家上市药企因“筹划重大事项或重大资产重组”而密集停牌，拉开了马年并购重组“大戏”的帷幕，究其原因，产能过剩与标准提升是关键所在。特别值得关注的是，近期医药领域的并购热潮中有相当一部分比例集中于医疗服务和医疗器械两个板块。从短期来看，受益于行业整合和政策利好，医疗器械和医疗服务将迎来并购整合的高峰期。从中长期来看，鉴于医疗服务和医疗器械巨大的成长空间和市场开拓空间，这两大板块将进入黄金发展期。

全国人大代表、浙江华海药业股份有限公司总经理陈保华建议，国家加快药品审批制度改革，加大审评资源投入，提高药品注册管理的效率。陈保华说，在固化的审评体制下，审评资源和审评任务量存在较大失衡，造成大量的注册审评任务积压。审评耗时过长、临床急需药品无法及时批准上市，导致公众的用药需求和企业药品注册申请审评的诉求，都无法得到满足，制约医药产业的创新和发展。

Generic drugs are copies of patented brand name drugs that have identical dosage form, potency, route of administration, quality, and intended use. These drugs contain the same active ingredients as the original brand name drugs. They are available once the patent protections given to the original developers have expired and generally cost 50-70 percent less than their brand name counterparts. However, they meet the same standards for safety, quality, and effectiveness as innovator drugs because the manufacturers typically do not have additional expenses for developing and marketing a new drug. When a patent expires, manufacturers can apply for FDA approval to produce and sell generic versions of the drug. For the approval of generics, which requi marketing authorization and are exact or close copies of already approved drugs, manufacturers are required to apply for an ANDA approval .

An automated dispensing machine is a type of vending machine used for dispensing drugs and other medical supplies to patients. It is also known as a unit-based cabinet, automated dispensing device, and automated distribution cabinet. Automated dispensing machines allow medications to be deposited and distributed near the point of care while monitoring and tracking drug distribution. Technological advancements in pharmacy automation have led to innovations in dispensing machines such as centralized control and decentralized control methods of operation. Dispensing machines have also helped in elevating patient care and allowing extra time for patient counseling as automation saves pharmacists' time, which in turn encourages them to provide guidance to patients about their medications. Some other benefits of automated dispensing machines include enhanced nurse access to medications, more effective medication billing and inventory control, greater medication safety, and potential reductions in medication errors.

Dermatological disorders are skin diseases caused due to the imbalance in the physiological condition of the skin. Some of the common dermatological disorders are acne, psoriasis, and dermatitis. While psoriasis is a lifelong skin condition caused by changes in the immune system, acne is caused due to the changes in hormone levels in the body. Dermatitis is caused by both genetic and environmental factors. Topical medications, oral medications, new biologic drugs, or a combination of these are some of the treatment options available for dermatological disorders.

“十二五”初期，中国政府多项医药、卫生发展专项规划提出了医药产业“经济发展方式转变”、“结构调整和优化升级”的政策目标。对中国医药产业技术结构调整路径进行探索和研究，旨在为各级政府实现“十二五”期间的战略目标提供决策支持。方法梳理影响医药产业技术结构调整的相关因素；分析技术结构调整与经济增长、技术创新的关联性；对技术结构调整进行Panel Data（面板数据）模型的实证研究。结果与结论中国医药产业技术结构的基础力量不强，专利申请的贡献度不大，化学制药业和中药制造业属于粗放型增长方式。可采取制度创新、通用技术、企业信息化、创新活动等技术结构调整的路径，推进实现“经济发展方式转变”，“结构调整和优化升级”的政策目标。
