Abstract:
Due to abstract and intricate theories of TCM theories, its essential characteristics are difficult to master, so the mechanism can be better explored through study on quantification of prescription properties. At present, quantification research by many scholars mainly adopts isolated research model limited to one or several kinds of TCM properties, which is difficult to reveal treatment mechanism of prescriptions. The development of big data and cloud computing technology provides a new way for the deep analysis of massive and complex TCM information. Based on syndrome differentiation, it is trending in prescription quantification to employ a comprehensive analysis by using "four properties - five flavors - channel tropism - ascending and descending, floating and sinking - toxicity -efficacy" overall on macroscopic level to analyze and quantify the characteristics of TCM prescriptions and their relationships among each other. This article reviewed recent research progress in the quantification of prescription properties and provided references for the modernization and specification of quantification of prescription properties.
