Interpretation of Intelligence Attribute of Supramolecular "Qi Chromatography" Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Its Combined Application with Artificial Intelligence / 中国实验方剂学杂志

In the era of artificial intelligence based on big data， data acquisition， storage and processing are more convenient， which provides a guarantee for accelerating the development of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， but it has not yet achieved organic integration with TCM theory. Based on preliminary research on the supramolecular "Qi chromatography" theory of TCM， combined with the current development trend of artificial intelligence， this paper analyzed the biological intelligence attribute of the function of TCM supramolecular "imprinting template"， in order to provide reference for the development of TCM drug innovation. Both the human body and Chinese materia medica are giant complex supramolecular bodies evolved from natural organisms. According to the "imprinting template"， the "social molecules" are controlled step by step to form the meridians and viscera. The interaction produces the original theory of TCM， in which the self-recognition， self-assembly， self-organization and self-replication of the "imprinting template" reflect the "intelligence" function attributes：the human body uses the "imprinting template" to self-identify and sense the ingredients of TCM， and store the memory information database in the meridian and collateral organs in the form of "imprinting template"， and then pass the "imprinting template". The comparison， analysis， and judgment of imprinting templates guide the self-assembly， self-organization and self-replication among "molecular society"， synthesize biological machines， produce biological functions， repair or strengthen biological supramolecular bodies， and present the most basic "intelligence" attribute. This suggests that the theory of theory-method-prescription-medicine of TCM is the weak embodiment of biological "intelligence"， while the human brain function is the strong embodiment of biological "intelligence". Since the intelligent function of supramolecular "imprinting template" runs through the natural world， artificial intelligence that can characterize the strong "intelligence" form of the human brain will also be integrated into all aspects of the natural world， suggesting the development direction of "intelligence" functionalization of drug innovation mode.

Study on the original pathogenesis of primary osteoporosis / 国际中医中药杂志

The original meaning of pathogenesis refers to the cardinal mechanism of the occurrence, development and change of disease, which has three characteristics: cardinal, dominant and directional. The original pathogenesis of primary osteoporosis includes aging and renal failure, which was determined through ancient Chinese medicine books and modern researches. The basic contradiction and evolutionary law of diseases from the level of original pathogenesis were identified, that contribute to the prevention and treatment of primary osteoporosis with Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Probe the syndrome differentiation system of six meridians of circular motion / 国际中医中药杂志

The internal organs and meridians were associated with Yin and Yang, five elements, six qi, and time and space, based on the holistic view of heaven, earth and human, according to Huangdi Neijing. The syndrome differentiation system of six meridians and Zang Fu meridians were established by Shanghan Zabing Lun, on the basis of the three Yin, three Yang, six meridians, and five Zang system in Huangdi Neijing. We put forward the concept of the six meridians syndrome differentiation system of circular motion, considering that the six meridians syndrome differentiation system actually implies the theory of circular motion. The syndrome differentiation system was constructed with the circular model of one qi circulating around the road, rising left and falling right, corresponding up and down, and maintaining conservation in the middle as the core, integrating Yin and Yang, five elements, six qi, Zang Fu and meridians, qi, blood and body fluid, and the integration of heaven, earth and human, focusing on "disease location and disease nature", taking classical prescriptions as the main treatments, and cooperating with external treatments such as acupuncture and moxibustion. We organically combined the circular motion with the syndrome differentiation of the six meridians, systematically interpreted the physiological bases, pathological changes, progressive patterns, and the treatments, based on syndrome differentiation, by inheriting the classical thinking mode of Hetu, Luoshu,Zhouyi, Huangdi Neijing, ShennongHerbal Classic, and Shanghan Zabing Lun.

Solving major scientific and engineering problems of TCM based on supramolecular "qi chromatography" theory of TCM / 中草药

Based on the current situation and development trend of the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory, combined with three major frontier scientific problems and three major engineering and technical problems needed to be solved, the crux of the modernization problem of TCM was identified, the way to solve the modernization problem of TCM was put forward, and the decisive role of supramolecular "qi chromatography" theory of TCM in cracking these problems was elaborated. The human body and Chinese materia medica are observed clearly in the long history of biological evolution in nature, while supramolecular chemistry has played an important role in analyzing the evolutionary trajectory of life and tracing the origin of TCM theory. In the long process of biological evolution in nature, all kinds of molecules in nature follow supramolecular chemistry, forming supramolecular bodies according to "imprinted template" step by step, from simple to complex, from inanimate inorganic complexes to living enzyme systems, from single simple molecules to complex supramolecular machines, through which the interaction of the biological molecules runs in the chain of organisms composed of supramolecular bodies. Meridians, which are the result of the orderly arrangement of the "imprinted template" channel structure step by step, are the basic form to control molecules. Under the impetus of human heart beating, the small molecules substances dissolved in blood migrate into and act on according to the "imprinting template" embed in main macromolecule of meridians and viscera. It shows the anisotropy of the action of meridians and viscera on small molecules, that is visceral phenomena, on which the essential of life science and the original theory of "principle", "method", "prescription" and "medicine" for TCM will be clarified. Major scientific and engineering problems of TCM will be solved on the basis of supramolecular chemistry, and the basic theory of TCM will be reconstructed and modernized into a union with contemporary medicine.

Dispute for Japanese(wild) honeysuckle flower based on supermolecular imprinting templates / 中国中药杂志

More and more disputes have happened to confront us continuously since the separation of Japanese(wild) honeysuckle flower in Chinese Pharmacopoeia in 2005. The state pharmacopeia committee decided to separate Japanese(wild) honeysuckle flower into two species for japanese(wild) honeysuckle flower, but didn't define their the convincing reasons still did not provide to us as a result that two medicines are not described the differences in natural properties, efficiency and indication, usage and dosage, as well as not given a resolving methodand specific solution. It was known for us that in the history of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）, the phenomenenphenomena of the "one drug from multi-species" and "one species for multi-drug" are very ordinary thingswere ubiquitous. Whether separation of the drug species are separated shall be decided to by clinical efficiency. Through Chinese pharmacopoeia (2015 edition) issue of Chinese Pharmacopoeia the 2015 issue of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, we still cannot find a scientific solution for the dispute of for Japanese (wild) honeysuckle flower, perhaps because of insufficient reorganization of TCM clinical medication regularities, such as "treatment of different diseases with same drug", " treatment of the same disease with different drugs" and "treatment of the same syndrome with multi-prescriptions", and "one prescription treating multiple syndromes"; lack of in-depth analysis for multi-component TCM compounds and autonomisation of "supermolecular template" for organs and meridians; less attention to the advance of efficacy and safety evaluation technologies for multi-component TCM compounds; impacts from the medication mode of "one ingredient-one composition-one effect"; as well as insufficient research methods for bioequivalent evaluation in preclinic and clinic studies . The dispute for species combination or separation for Japanese(wild) honeysuckle flower was apparently caused by regional economy, drug biological equivalent of efficacy and safety, but arising from clinical principles for systematical syndrome treatment with TCM, or concepts in the treatment of diseases with TCM or western medicines. This paper focused on current studies on Japanese(wild) honeysuckle flower in the combination with TCM clinical medication regularities, such as "treatment of different diseases with same drug", "treatment of the same disease with different drugs" and "treatment of the same syndrome with multi-prescriptions", and "one prescription treating multiple syndromes", expounded the specific pharmacological regularity of "heterogeneous equivalence" of Japanese (wild) honeysuckle flower, and put forward methods for studying bioequivalence of Japanese(wild) honeysuckle flower, in order to solve the combination and separation of Japanese(wild) honeysuckle flower and lay a foundation for promoting the development of Chinese herbal medicine industry.

Discuss Asthenia or Sthenia Cold of True Cold and False Heat / 浙江中医药大学学报

Objective] Differentiate and analyse the asthenia or sthenia attribute about the cold attribute of true cold and pseudo hot syndrome, further to simply make a summary.[Method] In order to compare with other doctor’s viewpoint and prove the opinion from the etiology and pathogenesis, clinical symptoms, clinical application and so on, by researching the related literature and theoretical works.[Result]Pathological condition of inner true cold and outer false heat appears because Yang deficiency of spleen and kidney is so long that yin exopathogen is in stasis and yang fails to transport and transform ying, further to repel yang outside in the etiology and pathogenesis. Clinical symptoms show that the red zygomas looking like being made up, low spirit, coldblooded and huddling up body, chilly limbs, drinking much and hot, diarrhea with undigested food in the stool and extreme weak pulse and even no feelings. In clinical application, the prescription is sini tang and the main medicines are fuzi and ganjiang which restore yang and get rid of cold. [Conclusion]True cold and pseudo hot syndrome belongs to asthenia-cold. And no matter in disease diagnosis even in clinical treatment, it has an important theoretical and practical significance to distinguish and clear the asthenia or sthenia attribute.

"Discussion on ""Fire Stagnation Requiring Dissipation""" / 浙江中医药大学学报

Objective]To explore the basic connotation of “fire stagnation requiring dissipation”and analyse ancient physicians' discussion about the fever, in order to expand its application in the clinical treatment.[Method] Using the method of conceptual thinking to explain the etiology and pathology of“fire stagnation”,the specific connotation of“fire stagnation requiring dissipation”,collecting ancient physicians' exposition on“fire stagnation requiring dissipation”,and listing the relevant prescriptions in order to deepen the thinking.[Result] Fire stagnation produces nothing more than exogenous ,internal injuries,the mechanism is in the human body, the anger's ascending-descending and coming in-going out is out of balance by some factors ,the anger stagnates and can't get out. Neijing first recorded“fire stagnation requiring dissipation”,that is treating the fire stagnation disease needs making the gas opening,lifting,entry becomes coordinate,finally the body goes back to health. In the Shang Han Lun, Zhang Zhongjing expounded the meanings and mechanism of“fire stagnation requiring dissipation”perfectly. Since Jin and Yuan Dynasties, ancient physicians have come up with several prescriptions and have promoted the development of the doctrine.[Conclusion] Since the Neijing proposed the theory of“fire stagnation requiring dissipation”,physicians' understanding of fire stagnation syndrome has been gradually deepening,and provided a broader ideas for clinical treatment.In recent years,the theory of“fire stagnation requiring dissipation”is widely used in various kinds of diseases,its academic value is worth summarizing,inheritance,extension.

How to Build and Evaluate A New Theory? Focusing on The Phenomenon, Explaining and Predicting, Promoting Chinese Medicine Theory from Phenomenon Description to Mechanism Clariifcation--Series of Studies on The Modern Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Part 2-V) (二) / 世界科学技术-中医药现代化

The modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is urgent need of the modern theory of TCM, is a consensus. But, How to establish and what kind of modern TCM theory, is far from a consensus. Based on the summarization of the common law in the construction of scientific theory, we are trying to give a answer that are expected to form a consensus. Firstly, we have illustrated the trend that the development of TCM theory should learn from the life and medical sciences theory function and value; Secondly, we have proven that TCM and TCM theory belongs to the traditional medicine and theory and pointed out the limitation of the traditional medicine, TCM and its theory. And then we have revealed the inevitable trend of traditional medicine, TCM and its theory development at home and abroad, logically obtained the inevitable choice of constructing the modern TCM basic theory; Lastly, we have analyzed the different discipline new theory construction process and method at home and abroad and discovered the common five steps rule, put forward three principles and five steps of constructing modern TCM basic theory, demonstrated its important role during the theoretical revolution promoting Chinese Medicine theory from phenomenon description to mechanism clarification and the scientific value of Chinese Medicine theory in the domestic and foreign development trend.

Historical Investigation of the Concept of the Yin of Liver and the Yang of Liver / 浙江中医药大学学报

[Objective]For revealing the definition of the concept of the Yin of liver and the Yang of liver ,and its historical evolution. [Method]The definition of the concept of the Yin of liver and the Yang of liver and the mainstream view of Yin and Yang of before the Song Dynasty, Song Dynasty and modern is investigated in this paper. The definition of the concept of the Yin of liver and the Yang of liver of different periods, different ideological background and different mainstream view of Yin and Yang is clarified by historical investigation. [Result]Because of the influence of Confucius studies, there is not the definition of the concept of the Yin of liver and the Yang of liver based on the object of liver in the TCM theory of Han and Tang dynasties. The Yin of liver and the Yang of liver mainly refer to the yin qi and yang qi in the liver. Because of the influence of neo-confucianism, the concept of the Yin of liver and the Yang of liver based on the object of liver was established in the TCM theory of Song and Ming dynasties. The Yin of liver and the Yang of liver mainly refer to the body and function of liver. Under the background of modernization of TCM, the concept of the Yin of liver and the Yang of liver based on the object of liver was established in the basic theories of TCM. However, there is a controversy of the concept of the Yin of liver and the Yang of liver, because of the effect of modern philosophy and science, ignoring the change of Chinese philosophy. [Conclusion]The clear concept of the Yin of liver and the Yang of liver of different periods, different ideological background and different mainstream views of Yin and Yang will reduce the influence of the fictional historical. Whether in ancient literature research, the liver like zang-fu theory of TCM theory, research, or the modern liver zang-fu theory of TCM, and establishing the theory of Chinese medicine has a positive meaning.
