With the increasing trade amount of herbal medicine over the world,many foreign countries took non-tariff barriers such as technical regulations,technical standard and conformity assessment procedures,of which the most far-reaching impact of green trade barriers on the export of traditional Chinese medicine.We analyzed the three green trade barriers faced by the traditional Chinese medicine assessing international markets,and summarized the impacts of green trade barriers on the export of traditional Chinese medicine from the two aspects of positive and negative.In the end of this study,we came up with some strategies to deal with green trade barriers:to promote the establishment of standard system; to ensure the quality of traditional Chinese medicine products; to implement green production; to cultivate environmental awareness; to pursue international certification; and to enhance corporate brand image.

The standardization of acupuncture and moxibustion in Canada is increasingly flouring nowadays:on one hand,acupuncture industry in legislated provinces is in the charge of direct administrative departments and associations of acu-moxi; on the other hand,according to the local situations,relevant regulations have been made,which are concentrated on two aspects-technical and administrative standards.Undoubtedly,Canadian Alliance of Regulatory Bodies for TCM Practitioners and Acupuncturist (CARB),united by each provincial TCM/Acupuncture Administration,is the first step to issue federal standards and establish federal level management institution.However,now the releasing of a fundamental regulatory file is in need of active corporation and publicity from each province and association.Therefore,it shows that the body of standardization in Canada is still not relatively perfect.Through introducing and analyzing the relevant information,the author expects that the readers can know the current development of acupuncture and moxibustion standardization in Canada.

Objective To probe the relationship on TCM syndromes and related index of metabolic syndrome.Methods 1124 people who receive physical examination were undertaken TCM syndrome differentiation,and five viscera syndromes,the deficiency syndromes,excess syndromes,cold and heat syndromes were found.The relations between TCM syndromes and waist circumference,triglycerides,high-density lipoprotein,blood pressure,fasting blood glucose were studied.Results ①The deficiency syndrome groups and the groups of metabolic syndrome related index by clustering analysis had a higher consistency.②Discriminated analysis demonstrated waist circumference,high-density lipoprotein,and diastolic blood pressure could be used to determine liver syndrome.Blood sugar could be used to determine kidney syndrome.Waist could distinguish blood deficiency syndrome.Blood glucose and systolic blood pressure could distinguish Yin deficiency syndrome.Systolic blood pressure could determine Qi stagnation syndrome.Siastolic blood pressure could determine heat syndrome.The liver syndrome group and the actual liver syndrome group had higher consistency by discriminated analysis.After establishing the discriminated equation,total correct rate of distinguishing were 57.3％,67.1％,63.8％,61.5％,52.4％,47.2％.③Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that blood glucose had diagnostic significance to renal syndrome.The area under the curve was 0.562.Triglycerides,blood glucose,blood pressure had diagnostic significance to Yin deficiency syndrome.The areas under the curve were 0.541,0.556,0.580 and 0.569.Waist circumference,triglycerides,high-density lipoprotein had diagnostic significance to moisture syndrome.The areas under the curve were 0.622,0.609 and 0.605.Diastolic blood pressure had diagnostic significance to heat syndrome.The area under the curve was 0.544.Conclusion By the multifarious analytical methods,we can see that syndromes have more contacts to related index of metabolic syndrome.
