中药系统的方法学──中药系统原理

The key of the modernization of the Chinese materia medica is the methodology of the enormous and complex system of the Chinese materia medica itself, that is the methodology of the comprehensive chemical constituents and the whole pharmacological effects of the system. The systematic principle in Chinese materia medica is just the methodology dealing with the general rules of the enormous and complex system. The core of the systematic principle is how to wxpress and obtain the quantitative and controllable comprehensive chemical active constituents in stead of a single compound, and how to evaluate the whole pharmacological effects of the comprehensive constituents instead of a single effect. The systematic principle in Chinese materia medica expresses the comprehensive active constituents with the chemical feature spectra of Chinese materia medica, and exposes the whole pharmacological effects of the comprehensive constituents with genomics and cytokine expressed by genes and genomes.
