ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to analyze the research status of marine medicine in China. The research hot issues and feature rules were summarized in order to discuss development trends for the clinic application and further development of marine medicine in recent 20 years. The CNKI library was used as a source to retrieve literatures on marine medicine. The bibliometric methods and Cytoscape 3.1.1 were used to analyze. The results showed that 582 papers were included. A total of 260 papers were published during 2010 to 2014. And 52 papers were published annually. 266 papers in this field were funded. The papers were mostly published in theChinese Journal of Marine Drugs. A total of 278 research institutes were engaged in the research. And the institute published the most paper was the Ocean University of China. There were 12 researchers who had published more than 5 articles. This study focused on the keywords with highly frequency, which were marine drugs, chemical composition, marine natural products, fingerprints and antitumor. It was concluded that marine medicine had become hot issues. The core of the group has been formed. However, most researches had focused on natural products and pharmacological aspects. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory had not been taken seriously and the infrastructure was weak, which obstructed the clinical application of marine medicine. We should expand the discovery and study of knowledge on ancient herbal literature as well as clinic application of marine medicine in order to build the knowledge database of marine medicine and experience mode of clinic application.
ABSTRACT
Experience mode of marine medicine (EMMM) is the summary of experiences on marine medicine con-cluded by ancient doctors for thousands of years. The mining of EMMM is very important for the clinic application and development of marine medicine. However, these experiences are very difficult to discover for they are all scat-tered in the large number of ancient documents. We proposed that the EMMM can be built by the procedure of in-formation of ancient documents, text-mining of ancient documents, and associate network of informatics unit of ma-rine medicine by non-interactive literature-based knowledge discovery methods, and expert evaluation at the end, so as to provide database for the clinic application and further development of marine medicine.
