证-熵-方——中医药研究的新领域

The New Research Field of Chinese Medicine:Syndrome-Entropy-Formula

证候、方剂是中医药研究中的两大关键科学问题,用熵的理论方法研究证候、方剂的相关性,我们将此称之为"证-熵-方",已经成为中医药研究的新领域。本文在分析证-熵-方产生背景的基础上,对证-熵-方领域中常用的数理基础进行了介绍,对证-熵-方领域中的证候研究、方剂研究、方证相关研究和疾病、证候、方剂相关规律研究等几个方面进行了总结,为这一新领域的深入研究奠定了基础。

Syndrome and formula are two key scientific issues in traditional Chinese medicinal research,and Syndrome-entropy-formula is a new domain,which formed following the inletting of theory and method of entropy to research the relationship between syndrome and formula.Based on the analysis of background about Syndrome-entropy-formula,this paper introduced the mathematic foundation of this domain,and summarized the research advancement,including syndrome study,formula study,relationship study of formula-syndrome,and regularity study among disease,syndrome and formula,etc.,which will establish the foundation for deeper research of this domain.
