This paper put forward a more accurate identification method for identification of Chinese materia medica (CMM), the systematic identification of Chinese materia medica (SICMM) , which might solve difficulties in CMM identification used the ordinary traditional ways. Concepts, mechanisms and methods of SICMM were systematically introduced and possibility was proved by experiments. The establishment of SICMM will solve problems in identification of Chinese materia medica not only in phenotypic characters like the mnorphous, microstructure, chemical constituents, but also further discovery evolution and classification of species, subspecies and population in medical plants. The establishment of SICMM will improve the development of identification of CMM and create a more extensive study space.

Studied subjects: dried extract of Asiatic Pennywort Herb - Tumeric, 1kg dried extracts is equivalent 42.5kg fresh materia medica (25kg Centella asiatica and 17.5kg Curcuma longa); The compared compositions contained: content of curcumin 95%, content of asiaticosid 90%. The study provided quality specifications as follows: appearance, loss on drying, the solubility in water and in alcohol, the water-insoluble teside, heavy metals limit, pH, ash, fungus, mould, and microbial limit; phosphorus pesticide residues, qualitative and quantitative determination of triterpene ester glycosides and curcuminoids

The increasing drug prices had some impacts on the society and becoming a question need to be solved. Vietnamese Association of Materia Medica had established the study group to find out some solutions on stabilizing drug prices and submit to the Goverment and the Ministry of Health, in order to find out measures for solving the drug price, stabilizing and developing the Pharmacy, in general and especially the Materia Medica. The contents of the solutions concluded: Secure priority drugs; Promote propaganda to increase knowledge of the people on drugs; Stimulate the inter-force in providing drugs, creating condition for substainable development of the pharmacy

Processing of Chinese materia medica is one of the important part of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM). Drugs in small pieces or slices are special for China and the whole world. Processing technic of Chinses materia medica existed for thousands of years and presented the essence of TCM. The purpose of analyzing the feature and development of traditional processing culture branches was to make a better understanding of traditional processing technic, and further the development of special processing culture branches.

Focusing on the problems of Chinese materia medica resources,and combining with the national Chinese materia medica resources survey, the paper probes into monitoring mechanism of Chinese materia medica resources. The establishment of the monitoring mechanism needs one organization and management agencies to supervise and guide monitoring work, one network system to gather data information, a group of people to perform monitoring work, a system of technical methods to assure monitoring work scientific and practical, a series of achievements and products to figure out the methods for solving problems, a group of monitoring index system to accumulate basic data, and a plenty of funds to keep normal operation of monitoring work.

Based on the current shortage of genuine/false authentication and quality evaluation in the molecular identification, and the weak functional gene research in the establishment of two-dimensional molecular markering methods for Chinese materia medica, the authors proposed a new method, the bimolecular marking methods (BIMM) for Chinese materia medica, combining DNA marker and metabolomics marker, that could simultaneously research the species and quality differences at the molecular level at the present stage. The authors introduced the concept, principle, methods, and technical process of BIMM, and summarized the technical advantages in this paper. Meanwhile, the application of BIMM in the identification of multiple sources of Chinese materia medica, years-identification, different locations, elite germplasm research, discovery of new drugs resources, protection of new varieties was also discussed. As a supplement of two-dimensional molecular markering method for Chinese materia medica, BIMM would not only expand connotation of identification of Chinese materia medica but also provide another effective way for quality evaluating.
