ABSTRACT
The research on the processing mechanism of Chinese medicine is the key and core foundation to improve processing technologies of Chinese medicine, formulate the quality standards of Chinese medicinal pieces, enhance the clinical efficacy of Chinese medicine, enrich Chinese medicine processing theories, and promote the development of Chinese medicine processing. Many researc-hers have conducted in-depth exploration on the processing mechanism of Chinese medicine in the 20 years in the 21 st century. Significant progress has been made in the transformation of chemical components during the processing, the change of active components in the body, the law of toxicity attenuation in the processing of toxic Chinese medicine, the mechanism of efficacy enhancement and toxicity attenuation of processing with auxiliary materials, and the application of new biomedical technologies. At present, the processing mechanism of multiple Chinese medicines has been preliminarily clarified, which has greatly promoted the development of Chinese me-dicine processing. The development of the processing mechanism of Chinese medicine reveals that the in vitro transformation of chemical components is combined with the in vivo absorption, transport, and metabolism, and the macroscopic biological effects of the organism are combined with the cells, molecules, targets, and pathways in the study of the processing mechanism of Chinese medicine. More attention has been paid to exploring the processing mechanism from the overall level, and a modern systematic research system on the processing mechanism of Chinese medicine has been initially formed. To further promote the scientific development of Chinese me-dicine processing, the present study proposed that the research on the processing mechanism of Chinese medicine should take Chinese medicine properties into account, focus on the influence of disease condition on the mode of action and effect strength of the drugs, comply with the characteristics of clinical compound compatibility of Chinese medicine, use the holistic view research strategies of systems bio-logy, and deeply explore the processing mechanism of Chinese medicine from traditional Chinese medicine theories and the characteristics of clinical medication of Chinese medicine.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE： To investigate the research status，hotspots and frontiers of the artificial intelligence （AI） technology applicated in pharmaceutical field， and to provide ideas for the development of related research in China. METHODS： Using bibliometric method， relevant journals and proceeding papers from 1998 to 2017 were searched from Web of Science database （“Article” and “Proceeding Paper” as retrieval words）. Using analysis and retrieval results of ISI Web of Knowledge and its function of creating citation report， CiteSpace 5.2.R1 software was employed to draw knowledge map； quantitative statistics and qualitative analysis was conducted to summarized the research volume， co-citation， main research countries/areas， main research institutions， main researchers， research hotspots and research frontiers in this field. RESULTS： A total of 3 674 related literatures were retrieved， and the number of global published literatures in this field increased rapidly from 1998 to 2017； the dominant nations included America， China， Britain and Germany because of their large number of publications，but China showd an obvious lack of international cooperation and excellent core teams. From the researcher’s point of view， the research in this field was in a state of “partially concentrated and overall dispersed” and lacked team cooperation. The research hotspots contained important core of AI technology （machine learning algorithms） and its application in pharmaceutical field （drug discovery and design）， the classification of disease or adverse drug reaction， the establishment and optimization of pharmaceutical mode， drugs screening or pharmacodynamics prediction， the estbalishment of pharmaceutical database， etc. The recent research frontiers included “molecular docking” “machine learning” “Meta analysis” “precision medicine” “targeted therapy”， etc. CONCLUSIONS： AI applicated in pharmaceutical field is a hot research field with strong timeliness， and its application in the development of pharmaceutical industry is the general trend. However， there is still a gap between the current research level in this field in China and the international frontier research. In order to adapt to the international trend of the combination of AI technology and pharmacy， pharmacists in China should strengthen their cooperation with researchers in AI fields while doing well the basic work of experimental research and clinical trials，etc.
