RESUMEN
By applying "homeostasis" to the study of the meridian and collateral system， the concept of meridian and collateral homeostasis has been proposed which refers to a balanced and stable state of meridian and collateral system， and plays an important role in maintaining body health and can provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Phenomics realizes the cross-scale correlation from micro-phenotypic data， such as genome， proteome， and metabolome， to macro-phenotypic data， such as physiological state， behavioral activities， and external manifestations. From the perspective of phenomics， this paper proposes a meridian and collateral homeostasis dynamic mapping model of "macroscopic signs and microscopic expression". This model combines macro signs such as the four examinations of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， biophysical indicators of acupoints， and micro expression information such as genes， proteins， and metabolism， and systematically investigates the relationship between meridian and collateral homeostasis and health and disease， thereby providing ideas and references for the identification of pre-disease states as well as precise diagnosis and treatment in TCM.
RESUMEN
Interpretation of syndrome differentiation is a necessary topic for the research on intelligent syndrome differentiation. The syndrome differentiation system of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） is huge， with diverse and interrelated interpretations， and non-standardized linguistic expressions， while detailed interpretations involve complex basic theories and literature of TCM， resulting in a challenging organization of the system. From the perspective of text mining， this article analyzed the limitations of existing intelligent syndrome differentiation research， clarified the importance and necessity of constructing a syndrome differentiation interpretation system， and proposed the idea of constructing an interpretation system including conceptual system， logical system， evaluation system， and visualization presentation. Future research can continue to refine the structure， logical and semantic relationships， as well as evaluation methods of the interpretation system based on this ideas， present concrete examples， and build the interpretation corpus by utilizing various data sources such as textbooks， medical records， medical discourse， and papers， to provide technicians with standard reference and data support for TCM syndrome differentiation interpretation.
RESUMEN
Systematic research on the quality evaluation methods of Chinese medicinal materials is an intrinsic requirement,which is beneficial to the clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine and the sound development of traditional Chinese medicinal industry.The intrinsic quality evaluation methods of Chinese medicinal materials have developed from chemical fingerprint to quality marker of Chinese medicinal materials,and it represents that the evaluation mode has developed from chemical component as research index to the combination of chemical component and pharmacodynamic components,chemical component and biological activity.The extrinsic character evaluation method of Chinese medicinal materials from"Quality Evaluation Through Morphological Identification"to the application of intelligent sensory technology make up for the accumulation of objective data.The trend of quality evaluation of the intrinsic quality and extrinsic traits of Chinese herbal medicines conform to the innovation strategy called integrated quality control of TCMs.This paper reviews the development and evolution of the research on the intrinsic quality and extrinsic traits of Chinese herbal medicines,systematically expounds the research status and development trend of"intrinsic and extrinsic combination",and facilitate the establishment of quality evaluation system of Chinese herbal medicines with standardization and informatization characteristics in accordance with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.
RESUMEN
Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)plays a unique role in preventive treatment of disease,treatment of chronic disease and recovery.Integrating modern science and technology and methods to carry out integrated and innovative research will help to bring the value of traditional Chinese medicine into full play.In recent years,with the rapid development of digital therapeutics such as artificial intelligence and wearable devices,digital therapeutics have emerged.Under the guidance of TCM theory,TCM integrates digital therapeutics technology methods,personalized treatment of patients through advanced program-driven software or combined with hardware devices,and improves patient compliance,gives full play to the advantages of TCM.This paper uses CiteSpace to visualize the research hotspots of digital therapeutics,combined with the literature and the website data of the Food and Drug Administration and the National Medical Products Administration,to sort out the application of digital therapeutics in the prevention,treatment and recovery of diseases,analyze the key technologies and core theories in the current application of digital therapeutics.And taking TCM pentatotherapy,kinesiatrics and aromatherapy as examples,this paper discusses the application forms of digital therapeutics under the guidance of TCM theory,and provides a preliminary paradigm for TCM digital therapeutics.
RESUMEN
Fenugreek is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine with great development prospects.At present,there are many modern reports on its components extraction,quality standards,processing technology and pharmacological effects.However,there is still a lack of research on sorting out and analyzing the relevant ancient records,and people's herbological cognition of fenugreek is still controversial and incomplete.In this study,through systematic review and analysis of ancient records,the names,original plant,processing methods and properties(including nature,flavor,meridian tropism,action,application,toxicity and contraindication)of fenugreek were comprehensively verified for the first time,which provided a herbological reference for further development,utilization and in-depth study of Fenugreek.It is found that fenugreek has several names such as Kudou,Luba,Huba and Jidou.Based on analyzing the descriptions and pictures of fenugreek original plant in ancient records,there is a strong likelihood that the ancient and modern medicinal fenugreek belong to the same species.In addition to the current common method of stir-frying with salt solution,the ancient books also recorded eight processing methods of fenugreek,such as stir-frying,steaming,baking,and calcining.According to the research of properties,it is found that fenugreek is warm-hot in nature,bitter,sweet,and pungent in flavor,and attributive to the kidney,stomach,liver and bladder meridians.In addition to the efficacy recorded in pharmacopoeia,this study also complemented fenugreek's actions of"improving hearing and eyesight,guiding fire to origin"and application of"fullness and discomfort in abdomen and hypochondrium".According to the textual research of toxicity and contraindication,fenugreek has been recorded as non-toxic in the past dynasties,but it should be used cautiously in the excess-heat syndrome,Yin deficiency syndrome,and pregnant women.
RESUMEN
The quality and safety of traditional Chinese medicines directly affect the development of the entire Chinese medicine industry. Establishing and improving traceability systems for Chinese medicine quality will play a decisive role in improving the quality of Chinese medicine. The traceability system of Chinese herbal medicines as an important part of the quality traceability system of traditional Chinese medicine overcomes the inability of existing technologies to achieve traceability, control, and queryability of information on the whole process of planting Chinese medicinal materials. The recording, inquiry and traceability of important information to track and supervise the whole process of cultivation of Chinese herbal medicines is an effective measure to realize the availability, retrievability and accountability of Chinese medicines, and to strengthen quality safety management and risk control throughout the entire process.
RESUMEN
Presently, there are many issues in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction, such as the uncertain sources of TCM, the lack of reminder for medication taboo, the nonstardard herb operation, and difficult supervision, etc. A digital service system of TCM decoction was established to solve the problems mentioned above. The digital service system mainly includes automatic coding for checking in & out, drug medication taboo database, digital operation in decoction, distribution through 2D code, the corresponding application for mobile phone, and the information supervision platform for TCM decoction. The digital service system of TCM decoction can track the quality & duty of the pieces, remind decoction medicine contraindications, improve the standard operation process of decoction, develop decoction distribution & tracking through cell phone, save the waiting time, and hence provides a new supervising method for TCM decoction. The digital service system of TCM decoction solves the key issues for the formula, operation, delivery and supervision of TCM. In the same vein, this system will expand the market share of TCM decoction and promote the development of TCM.
