This article made a discuss on the importance of correct recognition and objective evolution of traditional Chinese medicine in the new era from such aspects as elements that promoting the development of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),insufficiencies that restricting TCM development,and routes that solving the problems encountered in TCM development.

Objective To establish the method of content determination of Piperine in Biba Zhitong Tincture.Methods HPLC was adopted in determining the content of piperine in Biba Zhitong Tincture.C18 chromatographic column was used with the column temperature being the room temperature.The mobile phase was tetrahydrofuran-methanol-water(V∶V∶V=30∶30∶50)with the velocity of 1.0 mL/min.The detection wavelength was 343nm,and the sampling volume was 10?L.External standard method was chosen for content calculation.Results The inner peak area of piperine(8.3～41.5 mg/L)showed fine linear relation with mass concentration of control group.Its regression equation was A=3413186?-7467.7,r= 0.999 8,with the average recovery ration being 99.7%,and RSD=1.8%(n=6).Conclusion The method is simple,convenient,good reproducibility and non-interference,and can effectively control the quality of the preparation.

AIM: To establish the fingerprint chromatogram of Hongjingtian Injection ( Rhodiola kirilowii (Regel.) Maxim. METHODS: HPLC with YWG C 18 column was used, the (a)MeOH ACN(1∶1)、(b) 0.07% H 3PO 4 H 2O gradient elution as a mobile phase and detection wavelength at 278nm . RESULTS: 17 peaks were indicated on the HPLC fingerprint of Hongjingtian Injection. The relative retention time and relative peak area were obtained with itself peak. CONCLUSION: The method is simple and accurate with good reproducibility and can be used as a quality control method of Hongjingtian Injection.

In this article,the purpose,period,overview,and principle of medical subject headings renovation was introduced,to provide references for national headings renovation and maintenance.

Good Agricultural Practice for Chinese Crude Drugs is one of the effective measures for protecting and developing resource of Chinese crude drugs..We analyzed the current situation of GAP,discussed its questions and development.

Glaucoma is an irreversible cause of blindness,and it does serious harm to visual functions.Symptoms of glaucoma,visual impairment,a variety of symptomatic treatment and adverse reactions of drugs result in great obstacles and reduce quality of life.Preventive treatment intervenes glaucoma at an early stage by providing patients with guidance on therapies,diet and daily life,which are effective and may effectively improve their quality of life.

This article briefly reviews the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine Thesaurus of China. As a professional thesaurus on TCM, its status and role in the database construction, literature retrieval, cataloging, periodicals indexing and information standardization were discussed. Its significance in the medical information organization, and data resource integration were described in this paper.

Medical subject headings (MeSH) was compiled by American state-run medical library.In this article,the update maintenance,data publication,technological support,and management of human and finical resources on MeSH were introduced.

This paper is intended to figure out how to develop and maintain the traditional Chinese medical (TCM)thesaurus in the Internet Era. The history of TCM thesaurus was reviewed. The function of TCM thesaurus in searching information in internet and the impact of internet to thesauri were discussed. Suggestions on descriptor/term selection, term relations, and thesaurus maintaining were put forward.

An overview was performed on the features, structure, included terms, applications and the process of editing and compiling of traditional Chinese medical thesaurus and its relative thesaurus.
