However, these information resources are often scattered in various retrieval systems, which brings some difficulties to the reference and use of this information. Therefore, we collected TCM clinical research protocols which were published in international journals and established Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinical Research Protocol Database (TCMCRPD), in order to promote the localization of high-quality researches and improve the ability of TCM clinical research in China. After analyzing the major existing problems of TCM clinical research protocols, this essay describes the necessities and feasibilities of building Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinical Research Protocol Database (TCMCRPD) and puts forward some basic technological ideas, so as to provide a theoretical foundation for building the database.展开更多

Methods: A total of 148 patients undergoing abdominal surgery from June 2013 to June 2014 in our hospital were randomly divided into observation group and control group, 74 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing and the observation group was treated with the pointer, acupuncture and external application of abdominal treatment on the basis of routine nursing, which is 2 times a day,7 days for a course of treatment. Results: The recovery time of bowel sound, the first anal exhaust defecation time the in the observation group and the hospital day was less than the control group. With the comparison of two groups, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The incidence of abdominal pain, abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting and constipation in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: On the basis of routine nursing, the implementation of traditional Chinese medicine characteristic nursing can effectively promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, reduce the occurrence of complications, shorten the length of stay and improve the clinical effect.展开更多

文摘With the internationalization and modernization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), TCM clinical research has accumulated a lot of research information resources. However, these information resources are often scattered in various retrieval systems, which brings some difficulties to the reference and use of this information. Therefore, we collected TCM clinical research protocols which were published in international journals and established Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinical Research Protocol Database (TCMCRPD), in order to promote the localization of high-quality researches and improve the ability of TCM clinical research in China. After analyzing the major existing problems of TCM clinical research protocols, this essay describes the necessities and feasibilities of building Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinical Research Protocol Database (TCMCRPD) and puts forward some basic technological ideas, so as to provide a theoretical foundation for building the database.
文摘Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has been improving human health for millennia.And for that,it has gradually gained the attention of the global scientific community.TCM clinical research progresses,but slowly.I see it as being held back by perverse incentive structures in science and regulatory politics.

The control group received routine nursing and the observation group was treated with the pointer, acupuncture and external application of abdominal treatment on the basis of routine nursing, which is 2 times a day,7 days for a course of treatment. Results: The recovery time of bowel sound, the first anal exhaust defecation time the in the observation group and the hospital day was less than the control group. With the comparison of two groups, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The incidence of abdominal pain, abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting and constipation in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: On the basis of routine nursing, the implementation of traditional Chinese medicine characteristic nursing can effectively promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, reduce the occurrence of complications, shorten the length of stay and improve the clinical effect.
文摘Thank you for your introduction,thank DIA inviting me to come to this conference.After knowing so many data,I am very happy to learn some details about traditional Chinese medicine (TCM),including China's efforts in TCM,and what has been done in Europe.I would like to tell you about some of the challenges of TCM from the perspective of the European Union (EU).Many of them are mentioned by previous speakers.In fact,there are ways to allow herbs to enter the European market.Traditional herbal products have been established.And there is a full market authorization.Traditionally,it is necessary to ensure their medicinal efficacy and safety.Clinical trials are not necessary for every circumstance,but 10 years of use history within the EU is necessary.This is the process of full marketing.The USA and Europe have a similar situation: 3 of the 4 phases are required before the marketing authorization.These are 3 examples: a newly developed drug in Europe,it is from gentian roots,primrose,sorrel and other drugs,mainly for rhinitis;this is from Switzerland,which is from an extract of coltsfoot flowers;Schwabe's is from lavender,used for anxiety,and this is its name in Australia.
文摘Good afternoon,everyone.I'd like to acknowledge DIA for the invitation.I will spend next 25 minutes to briefly talk about the research in Australia and complementary medicine (CM) there.Most importantly,I'd like to introduce a case that I was involved in the last 10 years,which was about developing a new herbal medicine for vascular dementia (VaD).I would actually highlight the issues in it as well as the experience and lessons.
