Research Of Developmental Strategies On Standardization Of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) , as a important part of a long historical culture and modern civilization for the Chinese nation, has made a indelible contribution to its multiplication and health, and had a active effect to the progress of world civilization. With entry to the old age society in the 21st century, disease pedigree and medical pattern has had a important change. The toxic and side effect of chemical synthetical medicine and the obvious effect of such traditional medicine as TCM and natural medicine bring a favorable opportunity to the development of TCM and natural medicine. Now people in the world begin to make a new comprehension to traditional medicine, and have expectations to "keeping health" or "prevention and treatment" of natural medicine. In the old age society of 21st century, TCM will be the idealest medicine to the old patients of chronic disease with its moderate effect and diverse adaptability. The flourishing development of life science in the 21st century and the upsurge of "returning to nature" will give a opportunity to the revival, development and walking up to the world of TCM.Western medicine are most derived from chemical substances, and they have the predominances of clear effect and strong killing effect to pathogeny. However,chemical medicine have more or less toxic and side effects, and some of which are so obvious as to lead to serious disease. People are giving attention to the toxic and side effects of western medicine. TCM are most derived from plant or mineral, though the killing effect of TCM is weaker than that of western medicine, the toxic and side effects of TCM are much less than that of western medicine. Also, TCM most play function through complex prescriptions in the several thousands years. The interactions of medicine could increase curative effects and abate toxic effects.In the late years, the upsurge of international natural medicine gives TCM industry a new development opportunity as well as a severe challenge. It is necessary to increase the modernization of TCM for its walking up to the international market. The key of modernization of TCM is the standardization of TCM, which is the foundation and precondition of modernization and internationalization of TCM. The thesis made a detailed expatiation of the modernization development of TCM, and brought forward the strategies of standardization of TCM. The standardization of TCM should be under the direction of theories of TCM, and reflect the theories and open out itself rules. TCM is not so same as western medicine which contain single component as usual. There usually contain effective, assistant and noneffective components in TCM. The effective component may different when the same medicine is used to treat different diseases.Countries in the world run for making the research and exploitation of TCM with mordern science and technology, so the competition of international markets is more drastic. TCM industry faces the urgent mission to realize standardization and modernization. TCM enterprises in our country lesser locate their production in the international markets, and make less research and exploitation to the internationalmarkets. Many TCM enterprises are short of not only the concept of international markets but also the enthusiasm of renovation in technology and production. There are excessive, scattered and small complexion in TCM enterprises of our country. The devotion in research and development of new medicine is obvious different between the enterprises of in our and overseas countries. It is necessary to strengthen the concept of global competition and realize the long-range challenge and opportunity after entry to WTO for the long-term survival and development in international markets.It is very important to know how to develop TCM industry, what developmental road to walk and developmental strategies to build in our country. The government has emphasized to develop TCM industry as advanced and new technology industry, and made decisions to advance the standardization and internationalization and achieve the industrialization and modernization of TCM. The thesis analyzes the domestic and overseas circumstances and status quo of TCM industry, including management status of TCM enterprises, production quality of TCM, resource status of TCM herbs, machining of drinking-sheets of TCM, quality officinal and dose type of TCM. TCM industry face enormous opportunity and challenge with entry to WTO. We should grasp these opportunity and challenge to carry forward TCM to international markets and to possess more markets.From the point of innovation thought of scientific management, the thesis put forward the significance and requirement of standardization strategies of TCM. With people-based management theory, the thesis annotated to realize management target depending on talented people and exert the driving role of manpower resource management in the modernization development of TCM.. Through investigation toevery management rank of TCM, we analyzed the standardization status and special people collocation of TCM. We thought that people intercourse departments should do well in people invitation, introduction and intercommunion and exert their role as maximum as possible. On the other hand, we should choose some middle or young age people who are good at certain specialty as the leaders and main force of TCM. We should develop TCM with constantly innovative scientific management attitude and new thought, concept, management method and strategies so as to improve standardization of TCM, accord with the requirement of international markets and achieve the internationalization and modernization of TCM. Also, we should attach importance to property rights of TCM exploitation and protection, including the protection of property rights to traditional and new TCM. The protection status of property rights makes against exploiting innovative medicine. The modernization of TCM should include further to walk up to the world, which require enough protection of property rights.Through analyzing the management status of TCM industry in our country, the thesis put forward that the standardization was the foundation and precondition of modernization and internationalization of TCM. When achieving standardization, TCM will be toward modernization. We should combine TCM theory and practice with mordern science and technology to make a contribution to human health. Achieving modernization and internationalization through standardization of TCM , we should make China being a genuine great and strong country of TCM.
