Abstract:
By analyzing the present situation and existing problems in the material bases of syndrome and Chinese materia medica, we think that either syndrome or prescription is a complex whole system. Studies of the material bases of syndrome and prescription should be established on the combination of disease and syndrome, following the holistic and dynamic principles. Departure from the holistic principle, separating the syndrome from the prescription, ignoring the dynamic concepts may possibly lose the features and advantages of syndrome typing and Chinese medicine preparations. The metabolomics research bridges the study of prescription and syndrome. It is of great significance in finding out the agreeable point of disease-syndrome-efficacy, establishing a dynamic research method with combination of disease and syndrome, correspondence of prescription and syndrome.
