▼ There were numerous food safety issues for the past few years. The modern human have discontent toward chemicals, chemical drugs and food additives. Now people back to nature things, for example, natural
herbal products, natural
herbal nutritional supplements, and natural
herbal skin care products and so on. The purpose of this research analyzes the demand of the modern consumers for
Chinese herbal medicine, seeks value proposition with differences, deliberates the new business model, and lead the same trade upgrading.
This research will include questionnaire survey and secondary data analysis, find out the characteristics and the questions of the case company and finally propose overall strategic positioning. This research mainly collects 392 questionnaire survey and the confidential documents of the case company. This research tried to make the result with the facts of this study as far as possible by collecting more other information.
The result is the entrepreneurs of the traditional
Chinese medicine pharmacy have difficulties to change their mind about business operation. The case company should adjust it and find out the proper strategic positioning. On the other hand, the case company must have eye-popping products to let their consumers can accept it easily. For this research, the sample food,
herbal drinks, is a good medium for the consumers can easily touch and experience it. Then they will adopt those existing and new products of the case company.

▼ Background: The use of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has attracted increasing attention for physical and mental health studies over recent years. To date, there have been few nationally representative studies examining TCM treatments as well as consultations with TCM practitioners, for women with arthritis.
Methods: The thesis study outlined here consists of four related but separate sections of research. First, a critical review was conducted focusing on TCM and other complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use amongst patients with arthritis via a search of the key medicine and health science databases for international peer-reviewed articles published in the previous eight years (2008-2015). The study also conducted secondary and primary analyses of data from large samples (including both patients and practitioners) obtained by drawing upon three distinct large-scale established studies in Australia – the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health (ALSWH), the Sax Institute’s 45 and Up Study and the Practitioner Research and Collaborate Initiative (PRACI) study. Statistical analyses involved chi-square tests, multiple logistic regression, two proportions Z tests, Student’s t-tests, etc. to examine associations between the use of TCM (i.e. Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture) and arthritis-related symptoms. Chi-square tests or Fishers Exact tests were employed for categorical variables, and Student’s t-tests were employed for continuous variables, to examine TCM practitioners’ perceptions and the role of TCM practitioners in Australia regarding arthritis care.
Results: Findings from the critical review show a high prevalence of TCM/CAM use amongst people with arthritis in a number of countries and many people with arthritis use TCM/CAM concurrently with their conventional medicine. The results from ALSWH study identify women with arthritis are more likely to use TCM than women without arthritis, with 6.2-9.5%, and 4.0-5.7% of Australian women reported to be using acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, respectively, in the previous 12 months. Moreover, the analyses from the 45 and Up Study sub-study show that acupuncture use is positively associated with women experiencing a longer duration of time since initial diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OR=1.04), undertaking more exercise (OR=5.41), living in a rural area (OR=3.62), having consulted a psychologist (OR=12.21), and having consulted another CAM practitioner (OR=4.18). In addition, it is reported from the PRACI study that the majority of the TCM practitioners (82.2%) noticed that their patients with arthritis used other treatments alongside TCM and a large number of TCM practitioners who participated in the study believe TCM to be effective for treating arthritis.
Conclusions: TCM use is popular amongst women with arthritis and the TCM profession represents a significant part of Australian CAM healthcare sector in treating arthritis. This thesis highlights a need for future research to examine the potential benefits of TCM for arthritis and…

An investigation into the use of complementary and alternative medicine for atopic eczema.
Degree: 2016, University of KwaZulu-Natal

▼ Atopic eczema (AE) is one of the most common skin diseases that patients frequently present
with to dermatological practices in South Africa (SA). It has shown to impact negatively on the
quality of life of many patients suffering from it. Epidemiological studies have shown high rates
of AE prevalence, ranging from 2-7% in adults and 7-20% in children. Over the last decade, the
lifetime prevalence of physician-diagnosed AE has almost doubled in SA. This rise continues
despite accessible effective treatments. Due to AE’s chronic and relapsing nature and the
unattainability of complete clinical cure, patients are progressively exploring complementary and
alternative medicines (CAM) in search of a solution. Although the global popularity of CAM for
AE is on the rise, a review of the literature demonstrated contradictory evidence with regards to
their efficacy with shortcomings in many of the published data thus making it difficult for
clinicians to assess their role, if any, in the management of AE.
Objective One
To objectively evaluate the information on the efficacy and safety of CAM in light of the most
recent findings, the study entitled “Complementary Therapy in Atopic Eczema: The Latest
Systematic Reviews” in Chapter Two of this thesis collectively evaluated all published systematic
reviews (SRs) to date on the most popular CAM modalities for AE. These SRs included those of
Chinese herbal medicines(CHM), homeopathy, oral
herbal remedies (including evening primrose
oil and borage oil), probiotics and certain dietary supplements. The study concluded that none of
the alternative therapies evaluated demonstrated obvious and indisputable evidence of efficacy
due to many limitations in study design, poor methodologies, patient numbers etc. Further studies
may be warranted with some therapies (CHM, different probiotic strains and fish oil), whereas
homoeopathy failed to show any treatment effect and further studies with evening primrose oil
and borage oil may be difficult to justify. This overview was able to provide objective information
to enable dermatologists and general practitioners to advise and manage their patients holistically
in the light of the most recent findings.
Objective Two
Topical corticosteroids remain the mainstay of treatment for AE. However, many patients are
concerned about their long-term safety and thus seek evidence-based safer alternatives. Many
published papers have made reference to the wide use of topical
herbal creams for AE and many
of these been tested, but few in controlled clinical trials. No SRs of these trials could be found,
although SRs of topical
herbal extracts have been published for other chronic skin conditions.
The study entitled “Topical
Herbal Medicines for Atopic Eczema: A Systematic Review of
Randomised Controlled Trials” in Chapter Three of this thesis was the first SR to be conducted
for topical
herbal preparations for AE. Using Cochrane SR methodology, numerous databases
were searched from inception until June 2014. All controlled…

▼ Background: Atopic eczema (AE) or infantile eczema is an inflammatory skin disease, which affects 10-20% of children in industrialised countries. Australia was the 12th highest rank of AE incidence in 55 participating countries. AE is characterised by poorly demarcated redness of the skin and associated surface changes such as scaling, swelling, accentuation of the hair follicles and skin thickening as a result of chronic scratching. There are three common quoted diagnostic criteria for determination of AE for the purpose of research and clinical studies. In addition, reliable scoring instrument such as Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) is fundamental for clinicians to verify the severity, the course and outcomes of treatment for AE. Certain quality of life (QoL) questionnaires have also been developed and validated for assessment of the personal impact and outcomes of the treatment for AE. The conventional (Western) medicine treatment for AE is not satisfactory. Complementary and alternative medicine including Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) has been increasingly used for AE. There is some promising published evidence on oral administration of CHM for AE. However, the benefit of topical application of CHM for AE is not clear. Aims: a) To review fundamental knowledge of AE in perspectives of both conventional medicine and Chinese medicine (CM); b) To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of topical application of CHM for AE by systematically reviewing currently available randomised controlled trials (RCTs); and c) To develop a protocol for pilot randomised double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial for evaluation of the efficacy and safety of topical application of CHM for AE. Methods: We searched any RCTs with topical application of CHM in electronic databases and journals. Trial-design quality was evaluated and intervention outcome data were extracted and analysed. Meta-analysis was conducted. Development of a protocol for pilot RCT of topical application of CHM for AE followed the Australian Government’s guidelines in compliance with high ethical standard. Results: Three studies involving a total of 452 participants were selected for analysis after screening 164 potential studies. All three included studies reported significant differences between the treatment group and controlled group and claimed that effects of treatment interventions were superior to control. However, due to the low quality of study design which resulted in low level of evidence strength, these claims require more vigorous scientific proof employing well designed RCTs. As a result, a protocol for pilot randomised double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial for evaluation of the efficacy and safety of topical application of CHM for AE was developed. Conclusion: The systematic review in this thesis is the first one conducted in topical application of CHM for AE. Detailed analysis of the three included studies led to the conclusion of low level of evidence strength. Thus, they did not provide convincing evidential support for…

▼ The research topic is the commercialization of
Chinese herbal medicine and market entry research..
Chinese herbal medicine has become a star in the biotechnology industry in recent years.Countries around the world have put the relevant research, our government is also the policy support, more and more pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology plant related research. Manufacturers in the idea of the value of
herbal medicine, in the design of innovative products, the most important is the commercialization and market entry.
The purpose of this research is to explore the external factors that influence specific market behaviors of Taiwanâs
Chinese herbal medicine industry, as well as these specific market behaviors, namely commercialization and market entry. Investigate what factors will affect the commercialization strategy, which factors will affect the choice of market entry strategy. As well as to explore the Taiwan
Chinese herbal medicine manufacturers of specific market behavior (commercialization, market entry) strategy type.
This study is based on the Structure-Conducting-Performance architecture, using case-by-case and in-depth interviews. And summarizes the external factors influencing the commercialization and market entry of
Chinese herbal medicine manufacturers in Taiwan, and the types of strategies for the two kinds of market behavior (commercialization and market entry).The external factors the influence commercialization include: broken supply chain, scale of the market, traditional ways of using
Chinese herbal medicine, and governmental regulations. The external factors the influence market entry include consumersâ risk perceptions and governmental regulations on advertising
Chinese herbal medicine.
This study summarizes the marketing strategy matrix of the technology industry. The research also presented three types of commercialization strategy: R&D-driven, processing-driven and selling-driven.These three strategies can correspond to the high perception risk product market, to middle perception risk product market and to low perception risk product market. Will form nine kinds of commercialization strategy and market entry strategy strategy choice.
The study proposed in this study, hope as a future
Chinese herbal medicine manufacturers in the process of commercialization of R & D products, and the development of market entry strategy to provide some suggestions and reference, but also hope to be able to future researchers can help and inspire.

▼ Amygdalin, a controversial anti-cancer agent, is a cyanogenic glycoside plant compound found in apricot and peach kernels. Both amygdalin and its patented form, Laetrile®, have been promoted and sold as "vitamin B-17", although neither compound is a vitamin. No consensus on the efficacy of amygdalin regarding the treatment of different cancers has been reached. Cancer is now the third leading cause of death worldwide. More than 7.6 million deaths were estimated to have occurred in 2007 and by 2030 it is projected to increase to 17 million cancer deaths per year. Cancers of the lung, breast, colon/rectum, liver and prostate are no longer largely confined to Western industrialized countries but are among the most common cancers worldwide (Thun et al. 2010). In South Africa it is estimated that one in every four males and one in every five females will be affected by a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. The most common cancers in males are prostrate, lung, oesophagus, bladder and colorectal and in females they are cervix, breast, colorectal, oesophagus and lung (Haggar & Boushey 2009). Colon cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide, especially in western societies and is nutrition dependent (Klenow et al. 2009). It is one of the leading causes of death in both men and women in industrialised western countries. Colon cancer development involves both hereditary factors and lifestyle factors which include absence of physical exercise, unbalanced nutrition and long term smoking (Forman et al. 2004; Heavey et al. 2004). Colon cancer is traditionally treated by the resection of the colon, chemotherapy, radium therapy, and pharmaceutical hormonal drugs (Willson et al. 1987; Padussis et al. 2004)). Epidemiological studies supports evidence that colon cancer is preventable by adjusting the diet (Forman et al. 2004) and a protective effect is attributable to polyphenols and foods such as fruits and vegetables (Araújo et al. 2011). It was reported by Ruan et al. (2006) that the addition of
Chinese Herbal Medicine in conjunction with chemotherapy notonly raised the efficacy of the chemotherapeutic drug, but also reduced the toxic side-effects. The aim of this research was to carry out a comparative in vitro study of the anti-tumour effect of the
Chinese , South African and Turkish apricot (Xing ren / Armeniacea Semen) and
Chinese and South African peach (Tao ren / Persica Semen) kernel extracts on the HT-29 colon cancer cell line.All the extracts significantly reduced cell viability and inhibited proliferation in the HT-29 cancer cells after 24 hours with the lipophilic and total fractions of CAK being the most effective. After 72 hours, it is clear that the inhibitory effects have been abolished and replaced by a stimulatory effect as the cell viability is higher in the treated cultures than the untreated controls. Results show that the total and the hydrophilic fractions of all the kernels increased cell viability more than the lipophilic fractions. It cannot be said with certainty that it was the amygdalin…

▼ Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is a contemporary practice paradigm with a focus on improving outcomes of diagnosis and treatment through effective integration of the best available evidence, practitioners’ expertise and individual patients’ preference. In this project, Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) for insomnia is used as an example to illustrate the available evidence and identify CM practitioners’ attitudes, knowledge, skills, behaviours and barriers towards evidence-based practice (EBP). Understanding and addressing these factors will contribute to the enhancement of the practice of Chinese medicine (CM) as well as to set the priorities for CM education, research and policy development. CHM is increasingly used for insomnia in China and worldwide, and has been extensively researched and used in clinical practice. Therefore, it is a suitable exemplar providing insight into EBM in the context of CM practice. Insomnia is the most common sleep-wake disorder with notable health, social and economic burden. Cognitive and behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-i) and pharmacotherapy are commonly used to manage symptoms. However, many sufferers seek complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to improve their sleep and to manage daytime dysfunction. As a form of CAM, Chinese medicine has a long history of use for insomnia and continues to be frequently utilised. Emerging preclinical and clinical evidence suggests that CHM may be beneficial for improving sleep quality. Despite the frequent use of CHM for insomnia it remains largely unclear if CM doctors use EBM to inform their clinical practice. Therefore, this project uses a step-wise approach to understand, firstly, the best available evidence of CHM for insomnia and secondly, to what extent is the evidence being translated into clinical practice. The present study consists of four components: 1) a systematic review (SR) of randomised controlled trials (RCTs); 2) a systematic analysis of the historical literature; 3) a quantitative survey of CM practitioners; and 4) a qualitative interview of CM practitioners. Part One: Current Clinical Evidence of CHM for Insomnia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis This SR with meta-analysis answers the following research questions: Does CHM produce beneficial effects in people with insomnia in terms of sleep quality?’ Does CHM cause any adverse events in people with insomnia and, if so, what is the nature of the adverse events?’ Seventy-nine RCTs involving 7, 886 participants were included in the SR and 76 in the meta-analyses. Findings from this review revealed that CHM improves subjective sleep quality and quantity in people with insomnia. There was no significant difference between CM and the placebo with respect to the frequency and severity of adverse events. Firm conclusions could not be drawn on the comparative effectiveness between CHM and benzodiazepine drugs or psychotherapy due to heterogeneity and risks of bias in the included RCTs. Part Two: Traditional Use of CHM…

▼ The obesity epidemic has risen to alarming levels in both developing and developed countries (Lobstein, 2011). The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 750 million adults are overweight or obese worldwide (Bray & Popkin, 1998). In Australia, approximately 63.3% of adults are overweight, out of which 28.3% are obese (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2012). Excessive body weight (BW) has been shown to predispose an individual to various diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases, Type 2 diabetes (T2D), sleep apnoea, and osteoarthritis. Therefore, obesity is both an individual clinical condition and increasingly a serious public health problem. The objectives of this thesis are to evaluate the effects of acupuncture and herbal medicine formulae in the management of obesity and to evaluate the efficacy of the newly formed RMIT Chinese herbal formula (RCM-104). A systematic review (SR) of randomised clinical trials (RCT) of acupuncture using methods described in the Cochrane Handbook for systematic review of intervention and in RevMan 5.1 for analysis. The search has been carried out since 2006 and it has been updated until completion of this thesis. 16 electronic databases were searched using relevant terms and key words relating to the treatment of obesity. Twenty-three RCTs were included in this review, which used sham acupuncture, no treatment, and WM as a control. The outcome measures include BW, BMI, body fat composition, and waist and hip circumferences. The meta-analysis showed that acupuncture provided more benefit than the control when used with other adjunct therapies. Acupuncture, however, did not show better effects on BW, BMI or BF composition than WM. Similarly, the SR of CHM clinical trials was conducted using the same methods as for the acupuncture SR. Fourteen RCTs were included in the review, which compared CHM with placebo, WM, or other therapies, with or without co-intervention. CHM alone did not show any significant difference from either placebo or WM for BW, BMI or BF composition. When combined with other therapy, however CHM showed some benefits for BW, BMI and WC. RCTs in the CHM review also had high risk in performance bias, and unclear risk in selection bias, detection bias and attrition bias. This indicates that the included studies in both acupuncture and CHM were of low quality. The RMIT Chinese herbal medicine formula (RCM-104) was formed using findings from current literature of both Chinese and Western medicine. The RCT of RCM-104 was rigorously designed and conducted between 2007 and 2009. The RCM-104 formula demonstrated effectiveness in the reduction of BW, BMI and BFC as well as improved quality of life compared to the placebo group. In conclusion, this thesis systematically analysed modern RCTs of CHM and acupuncture interventions for obesity and further evaluated of effectiveness of RCM-104. Both SR and RCT demonstrate the potential effectiveness of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine for the management of obesity. However, more rigorous RCTs are needed…

▼ Urticaria and psoriasis are two of the most common chronic skin disorders that have a great impact on patients’ quality of life. Western medicine (WM) provides short-term symptomatic relief. However, a long-term strategy for managing refractory urticaria is lacking and unwanted side effects have been associated with long-term use of such therapies for psoriasis. In WM, chronic urticaria and psoriasis vulgaris are attributed to immune dysfunction (as the underlying internal factor) and are triggered by external factors. In Chinese medicine (CM), these two conditions share the same pathogenesis of an underlying deficiency of healthy, protective qi with an external pathogenic factor. In terms of treatment principle, the concept of using the same treatment for different diseases (异病同治) is very common in CM clinical practice. This is defined as applying the same treatment method to patients who suffer from different disease but have the same patterns. As both conditions result from immune dysfunction in WM, and share the same treatment principle from a CM perspective, the clinical management of these two conditions was evaluated to explore the current state of clinical evidence of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM). To provide the best available evidence on the efficacy and safety of CHM for both conditions, ‘whole evidence’ from both classical literature and clinical studies was evaluated systematically. Pre-clinical evidence was briefly summarised to explain potential mechanisms of CHM. In addition, practicability, such as patients’ experiences of using CHM, should be considered when CHM is considered as part of clinical practice. Objectives The objectives of this study are to: 1. evaluate the evidence of CHM for chronic urticaria and psoriasis vulgaris in the classical CM literature 2. evaluate the current clinical trial evidence of CHM for chronic urticaria 3. evaluate the current clinical trial evidence of compound glycyrrhizin (CG) (extract from Chinese herb gan cao甘草, radix glycyrrhizae) for psoriasis vulgaris 4. summarise the current experimental evidence of CHM for chronic urticaria and psoriasis vulgaris 5. explore patients’ experiences of using CHM for the treatment of chronic urticaria and psoriasis vulgaris. Methods Evidence Evaluation of CHM in Classical Literature Classical literature research was conducted based on the Zhong Hua Yi Dian. Citations related to chronic urticaria and psoriasis vulgaris were found by searching the Zhong Hua Yi Dian. Descriptive analysis was performed to calculate the frequency of formulae and herbs used in the Zhong Hua Yi Dian citations likely to involve chronic urticaria and psoriasis vulgaris. Evidence Evaluation of Chinese Herbal Medicine in Clinical Trials Clinical evidence was evaluated and synthesised through systematic reviews (SRs) of randomised controlled trials (RCTs). All SRs were conducted following the rigorous methodology of the Cochrane Collaboration. In addition, experimental evidence from modern…

▼ Background: Psoriasis vulgaris is a common chronic immunological inflammatory skin disease without cure. Psoriasis is associated with increased risk of serious co-morbidities such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Current conventional therapies can be expensive and commonly have adverse effects. Hence further effective and safe therapies are needed. Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) has been utilised for centuries for the management of psoriasis. This thesis reviewed its current clinical and experimental psoriasis evidence and aimed to develop and test an evidence based CHM formulation. Methods: Firstly, two systematic reviews and meta-analyses were conducted using the Cochrane Library Systematic Review Method to examine published CHM research for psoriasis. 1) Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of oral CHM for psoriasis vulgaris compared with placebo. 2) RCTs combining oral CHM with conventional therapy for psoriasis vulgaris. Secondly, in vitro and in vivo data for commonly used CHM phytochemicals were reviewed to evaluate their potential biological psoriatic mechanisms. Lastly based on the review findings and available treatment guidelines an optimised oral CHM formulation (PSORI-CM01) was developed for psoriasis vulgaris and then clinically evaluated via a rigorous designed pilot placebo double-blind RCT. Results: Literature review indicated mild–moderate psoriasis is undertreated, and topical treatments have limited efficacy. Systematic review found oral CHM has benefit compared with placebo; however, the effect size is relatively small. Further systematic review of CHM combined with conventional therapy indicated it increases effects and reduces adverse events. Subsequent in vitro and in vivo review recognised Paeonia. lactiflora Pallas and Paeonia veitchii Lynch constituents and those of other CHM act on pathways similar to conventional psoriasis drugs. The pilot RCT investigates PSORI-CM01 in a mild to moderate psoriasis vulgaris (psoriasis area severity index (PASI) 7–12) population. Thirty participants undergo a two-week run-in phase then receive 12-weeks of PSORI-CM01 plus calcipotriol or placebo plus calcipotriol. The pilot study is to determine the feasibility for an adequately powered RCT. Primary outcome is PASI change (%) and secondary measures include: PASI 75 rate, QoL change (dermatology life quality index (DLQI) and Skindex 29), acceptability of treatment, change to psoriasis-related cytokines (such as TNF-α and IL-23) and adverse events. Blood plasma specimens are collected at weeks –2, 12 and 24 then concentrations of inflammatory cytokines measured via multi-assay technique (Bio-Plex® Multiplex System). The pilot RCT is ongoing, interim results indicated baseline analysis (n=11) mean PASI score 9.0±2.4, and DLQI score 10±7.6. Conclusion: Oral CHM has promising efficacy for psoriasis and combined with conventional treatments enhances effects. Evidence suggests combined treatment is safe; however, long-term follow-up data…

▼ Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the foremost microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus, which is characterised as persistent albuminuria and progressive loss of kidney function induced by diabetes. The health burden of DKD is substantial and continues to grow in parallel with the escalating prevalence of diabetes. Despite current pharmacotherapies including hypoglycaemic agents, hypotensive drugs and reninangiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors, substantial residual risk of DKD initiation and progression remains. Considering the increasing prevalence of DKD, novel renal protective therapeutics are in great need. Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) has been used since antiquity in some countries and regions, and is still being used to treat kidney diseases in combination with contemporary medicine. Guided by traditional knowledge and contemporary practice of herbal application, existing and potentially novel therapeutics for DKD may be evaluated and further developed from CHM. To-date, the development of therapeutics from CHM has been impeded by general lack of clinical evidence, complex chemical profiles and unclear mechanisms of action. Moreover, the conventional drug application of the “one target, one drug” approach has been a limitation when it comes to complex and multi-factorial clinical presentations such as DKD. CHM is a complex intervention that commonly involves a number of herbal ingredients clinically for treating individual patients with DKD. Objectives Guided by a “whole evidence” framework, the aims of this research are to: - Evaluate the classical literature evidence of CHM as a treatment for DKD - Evaluate the clinical trial evidence of CHM as adjunctive therapy for DKD - Explore and propose the bioactive compounds and pharmacological mechanisms of promising CHM for DKD Review of classical literature A search of the classical Chinese medicine literature was conducted in the Zhong Hua Yi Dian (ZHYD, 5th Edition, 2014). A total of 278 DKD-relevant classical citations with treatment information were identified and analysed. These citations were derived from 68 classical Chinese medicine books spanning from AD 583 to AD 1895. Based on the rating results, there were 23 citations that were most likely DKD. Ba wei wan, Liu wei di huang wan and Hui xiang san were the most frequently cited formulae for DKD. The herbs frequently used were huang qi (Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge. var. mongholicus (Bge.) Hsiao), ren shen (Panax ginseng C. A. Mey.), wu wei zi (Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill.), tian hua fen (Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim.) and huang lian (Coptis chinensis Franch.). It was found that citations with positive turbid urine symptoms used huang qi more often than other high-frequency herbs. Systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials The Cochrane handbook of systematic reviews of interventions (version 5.1.0) guided the methods of the systematic reviews. The first systematic review included 20 randomised…

▼ A case control study was conducted to identify exposure factors associated with gastrointestinal side effects (i.e., gastrointestinal disorders such as vomiting, diarrhea, or anorexia) in dogs after treatment with
Chinese herbs. An on-line survey with questions related to exposure factors of interest was prepared and tested, and later distributed via e-mail to ~ 8,000 veterinary clinics in the United States, Australia, and European countries in July 2014. Investigated exposure factors included age, gender, breed, spay/neuter status, body weight, presenting complaint(s) at admission,
herbal treatment(s) used and duration of treatment, as well as other medication(s) and diet(s) used during treatment. The most common side effects in a total 54 dogs after treatment with
Chinese herbs were GI disorders, followed by skin disorders, and elevated liver enzymes. A total of 34 case dogs and 34 control dogs were enrolled in the study. Using logistic regression analysis, short duration of treatment(s) was associated with a diagnosis of gastrointestinal side effects in dogs after treatment with
Chinese herbs. This study provides new information on exposure factors for gastrointestinal side effects in dogs after treatment with
Chinese herbs. Duration of treatments was the only exposure factor associated with GI side effects. ( en )

▼ Psoriasis is a chronic and recurrent skin disease that affects 1-5% of the population. Conventional medical treatments can have significant side effects. There is, as yet, no curative regimen for the disease. Around half of psoriasis patients use complementary and alternative medicine including herbal medicine (HM). Consequently, the efficacy and safety of these HMs needs to be systematically evaluated. The project aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of HM for psoriasis, identify the promising herbs for psoriasis, investigate the anti-psoriatic actions of the most promising herbs, and develop an in silico method for investigating their biological targets and pathways. Study quality assessments, systematic reviews and meta-analyses were undertaken in the first component of the project. This component firstly analysed clinical trials of HMs used internally and the second part focussed on topical HMs. Due to the diversity of topical HMs, the second part was further divided into three sections based on their intervention types: single herb, multi-ingredient herbal formula, and HM plus anti-psoriatic pharmacotherapy (APP). Based on 39 studies, 12 herbs were selected as promising for psoriasis: Oldenlandia, Rehmannia, Salvia, Aloe, Indigo, Camptotheca, Mahonia, Sophora, Lithospermum, Cnidium, Dictamnus and borneol. The second component of the study focussed on the likely mechanisms of action of the identified herbs. Firstly, for each of the main herbs, their relevant biological properties were reviewed. This identified evidence for anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, anti-angiogenic, wound healing/skin repair and/or anti-pruritic actions for extracts of the plants and/or their bioactive constituents. Then, 482 compounds contained in the short-listed herbs and their associated species were identified using Encyclopaedia of TCM and other sources. Then 350 biological targets were located with HIT database for these compounds. 70 targets of APPs were identified from the DrugBank database from 20 APPs approved by FDA. They mainly included NR3C1, COX (1, 2), RAR (α, β, γ-1), RXR-α & RXR-β, CD2, TNF and VDR. The 350 biological targets were filtered by the 70 APP targets. Ten targets were common to the APPs and the herbs. After excluding the Cytochrome family of enzymes, 9 APP-like herbs were identified: Oldenlandia, Rehmannia, Salvia, Aloe, Indigo, Camptotheca, Mahonia, Sophora, Lithospermum. The database PANTHER was used to identify biological processes and pathways that involved targets of the four identified herbs: Salvia, Rehmannia, Indigo and Camptotheca. The main pathways were Apoptosis signalling pathway, Angiogenesis, Gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor pathway, Inflammation mediated by chemokine and cytokine signalling pathway, and Interleukin signalling pathway, which are primarily related to inflammation, proliferation and angiogenesis. The project identified promising herbs for psoriasis which showed potential APP-like actions and identified their likely mechanisms of action.…

▼ PhD in Management / JEL: L22, M12
The traditional Chinese medicine has thousands of years’ history. It is the result
of accumulated experience of Chinese people when they are fighting against diseases
and therefore is very important to the prosperity and continuity of the Chinese nation.
The traditional herbal tea belongs to one soup of traditional Chinese medicine which
has hygienic functions. It is made by brewing one or more kinds of medicines. Herbal
tea is just one product originated from the traditional Chinese culture. As one form of
traditional Chinese medicine, herbal has hundreds of years’ development history.
For hundreds of years, herbal tea with regional characteristics has been the folk
medicine form in China. In the 1990s herbal tea is brought into the industrial
production, but there is no breakthrough in the regional limits before 2003. However,
in 2003, Wong Lo Kat changed herbal tea "herbal tea" image into a national beverage
brand rapidly, and scored the overseas market. Herbal tea rapidly become the focus of
public concern, the rapid growth of market sales and huge market space attracted
many followers, many Chinese manufacturing enterprises and beverage production
enterprise quickly into the herbal tea industry.
The herbal tea industry has many brands now. However, only a few leading
enterprises succeed in obtaining profits, as most herbal tea producers still lose money.
After the boom of rapid development, currently herbal tea industry has come to the
tiredness, due to weak industrial innovation, coupled with rising industrial
concentration. Innovation has become the strategic key for the herbal tea industry to
progress healthily.
The most basic functions and purpose of the industrial innovation is to realize
the upgrading of the industrial structure, to promote the industry’s development. Yet
blind change or purely individual innovation may be negative for individual
enterprises and the overall industry. The implementation of industrial innovation is a
complex system, which requires the government, industry, and enterprises to work
together. Guiding government policies, industry structuring and enterprise strategies
should be consistent in order to achieve the development of the herbal tea industry.
This study shows the evolution and situation of the industrial development, and
finds some obstacles hindering herbal tea industry development through the field
investigation. At the same time, by focusing on the leading and highly innovative
herbal tea producers, we learn about the innovation strategy that could inspire other
firms in the same industry. Finally combining the macroscopic background with micro
level findings, it is possible to get some herbal tea industry innovation and practical
experience from the enterprise, government and industry perspectives.
Herbal tea evolved from a private self-help type of health decoction to become an
innovative beverage, through constant innovation, obtaining a huge market success.
Studying the herbal tea innovation process, we also learn about the…

▼ Acne vulgaris (acne) is a common condition that affects adolescents and adults. Acne significantly affects people's health-related quality of life (HRQoL), with reports of low self-esteem, body image concerns and depression. Acne can be initiated by Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) infection or androgen activity. Conventional medical treatment of acne includes antibiotics, retinoids, and benzoyl peroxides (BPs). These treatments are not free of adverse effects. Chinese medicine (CM) usually attributes mild to moderate acne to heat in the Lung meridian or damp heat in the Stomach meridian, and severe acne to Blood stasis, toxic heat or binding of phlegm. CM is used in clinical practice for the treatment of acne; however, there is a lack of evidence on the clinical benefit and safety of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) and acupuncture. While both CM and western medicine (WM) health care paradigms can be used to treat acne, there are no correlations between CM diagnoses and WM disease states. This PhD describes mechanisms in both paradigms but does not seek to make correlations between the two. Objectives This project aims: 1. To understand the impact of acne on HRQoL and to obtain participant views on CM treatment options; 2. To employ the methods of the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions to determine the current state of evidence of CHM and acupuncture for acne; and 3. To develop a randomised controlled trial protocol that evaluates the impact of CHM on HRQoL in people with acne vulgaris. Methods For Objective 1, a review of the current literature on the HRQoL of acne was undertaken with a focus on the psychological, emotional and social impacts of acne and the predictors of impairment. There were different general health, dermatology-specific and acne-specific instruments in the literature to assess the HRQoL of people with acne. The advantages and disadvantages of each were discussed. An online survey was conducted to investigate the impact of acne on HRQoL and to obtain participants' views on a proposed treatment protocol. Two validated surveys were used. Questions on patient preferences for CHM and acupuncture treatment duration and frequency were also included in this survey. To address Objective 2, two systematic reviews (SRs) were conducted, guided by the methods of the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. The first SR evaluated the CHM formula Pi Pa Qing Fei Yin (PPQFY) and the second evaluated acupuncture and related modalities. Nine databases were searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) for these two interventions. Following study selection and data extraction, statistical analyses were conducted using RevMan 5.3. The strength and quality of the evidence were assessed using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE). Findings from the HRQoL review and the online survey, and from the two SRs (Objectives 1 and 2) informed the development of the trial protocol, which follows Standard Protocol…

▼ Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disorder characterised by irreversible airflow limitation with symptoms such as chronic cough, sputum production, dyspnea and chest tightness. It is divided into stable and exacerbation phases. Exacerbations of COPD involving deterioration of symptoms are major causes of morbidity, hospitalization and mortality and affect health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Conventional pharmacotherapy involving bronchodilators and corticosteroids has side effects and provides only temporary relief. Therefore, Chinese herbal medicines are increasingly being used internationally following recent publications and reviews of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the benefits of oral CHM formulae and herbal extracts for stable COPD and experimental studies demonstrating anti-inflammatory and immune effects relevant to COPD of some Chinese herbs and formulae. These reviews, however, did not adequately represent the large volume of non-English studies despite the fact that in China. CHMs have been used to treat COPD-like lung diseases since ancient times and in the contemporarily management of COPD along with conventional pharmacotherapy. Therefore, this study aims to review English and Chinese databases to assess potentially efficacious and safe CHMs in the treatment of COPD. The study (1) reviewed current concepts and treatment of COPD in both conventional and Chinese medicines, (2) analysed COPD-like disorders in classical Chinese medicine books, (3) identified main herbal formulae and individual herbs used for COPD-like disorders, (4) conducted systematic searches of RCTs on CHM for COPD, meta-analyzed results of each main outcome measure and calculated usage frequencies of each herbal formulae and individual herbs, and (5) identified the likely mechanisms of action of the shortlisted herbs. English and Chinese databases were searched in three separate systematic reviews (SRs) based on Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Findings of reviews and meta-analysis supported the effectiveness of CHM either used independently or as an adjunct to routine pharmacotherapy in preventing decline of FEV1% predicted of stable COPD patients, improving QoL and exercise tolerance, reducing COPD exacerbation frequency and relieving a range of COPD symptoms. Other RCTs found that CHMs lower levels of TNF-α and IL-8 in sputum and serum, and regulate levels of T lymphocyte subsets and immunoglobulins. These effects were confirmed in some experimental studies. The Classical Chinese literature and modern RCTs identified several promising herbal formulae including Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentleman Decoction), Bu Fei Tang (Tonify Lungs Decoction) and Shen Ge San (Ginseng and Gecko Powder) and a number of frequently used individual herbs for COPD including Ren shen (Panax ginseng), Dang shen (Codonopsis pilosula), Huang qi (Astragalus membranaceus), Bai zhu.

▼ Stroke is one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide. Ischaemic stroke constitutes 80% of stroke incidents. Reperfusion injury following ischaemic stroke has been shown to contribute to major neurological damages. Current conventional treatments for ischaemic stroke, whether surgical or pharmaceutical, focus on restoring cerebral blood flow and preventing expansion of ischaemic damage, but have limited impact on neuron damage or restoring damaged neurological functionalities. Nao Xin Qing (NXQ), a standardised, patented
herbal extract derived from Diospyros kaki L., offers potential therapeutic for apoplexy syndrome, including ischaemic stroke. However, NXQ’s effects on ischaemic stroke are unclear. In particular, the mechanisms underlying NXQ’s effects and the key active components responsible for these effects, are not fully understood. This study aims to determine the effects of NXQ and its role in the treatment of ischaemic stroke. The study comprised of two parts. First part to determine the effects of NXQ for ischaemic stroke by evaluating its vascular protective effects and angiogenic effects. This study further identifies the chemical profiles of the NXQ extract and determines which compound/s are responsible for the therapeutic functions for ischaemic stroke. The second part of the study aimed to evaluate the clinical effects of NXQ on ischaemic stroke patients. A study protocol for a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was developed to facilitate future studies on the clinical efficacy and safety profile of NXQ for ischaemic stroke patients. NXQ possesses vascular protective effects against H2O2-induced damage that may protect endothelial cells from reperfusion-induced damage. Additionally, NXQ possesses potential angiogenesis and revascularisation properties, which may contribute to its therapeutic action during ischaemic stroke recovery.

▼ Dementia involves a gradual loss of memory and cognitive skills. Over 50% of people with dementia also suffer from the behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). BPSD refer to disturbed perception, thought content and mood associated with dementia, and include psychosis, agitation, aggression, irritability, depression, anxiety and abnormal motor activity. BPSD can have a negative impact on the progression of Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders and are associated with a greater level of caregiver distress. Currently recommended pharmacological treatments for dementia, including acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and memantine, focus on relieving cognitive symptoms, while BPSD are managed according to the presenting symptoms. Guidelines recommend non-pharmacological approaches for BPSD but selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, analgesics and second generation antipsychotics may be used when other approaches fail. Pharmacological treatments for BPSD have limited benefit and safe prescribing is difficult as some may produce severe adverse effects and may worsen cognitive symptoms. Consequently, there is a pressing need for new approaches to BPSD management. Multiple clinical studies have reported that herbal medicines (HMs), such as Ginkgo biloba leaf extract, can alleviate BPSD as well as improve cognition in dementia. The present project aimed to determine the current state of evidence for HMs and propose future directions for the development of plant-based therapeutics for managing BPSD. Both historical use and contemporary clinical trials provide evidence for the use of herbs for management of memory impairment, cognitive symptoms of dementia and BPSD. Based on these findings, there is potential for identifying effective herbal interventions that could be fast-tracked into clinical use for this unmet need. Identification of useful compounds and their possible mechanisms of action may contribute to development of new therapeutic approaches and/or drug discovery. Notably, the acetylcholinesterase inhibitors galantamine and rivastigmine were discovered from plant-derived compounds. The objectives of this project were to assess the current state of evidence and its limitations regarding the efficacy, safety and tolerability of HMs for BPSD by systematically reviewing and analysing the results of clinical trials and the classical Chinese medicine literature on BPSD; identify any HMs that show potential benefit for BPSD; based on the best available evidence, select a herbal intervention suitable for further clinical investigation; and design a rigorous randomised controlled trial (RCT) to test the intervention that addresses the limitations of previous clinical studies. The comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis included 31 controlled clinical trials testing 19 different HMs. Meta-analysis of well-designed, placebo-controlled studies indicated that the G. biloba leaf extract EGb 761® was safe and well-tolerated. Significant and clinically meaningful improvements in BPSD and cognition were…

▼ Atopic eczema (AE) or atopic dermatitis is an inflammatory skin disease characterised by chronic relapse and remission associated with severe pruritus and skin lesions. The prevalence of AE has increased globally over the last three decades. In Australia, a 12-month period prevalence of AE was 17.2% in school students aged from six to seven years and 24.8% in children aged eight to 11 years. The pathogenesis of AE is yet to be fully elucidated; the risk factors associated with the increasing prevalence of AE are better understood. Clinically topical administration of corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors is the standard first-line pharmacotherapy for mild AE. Systemic medications including oral corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs are used for more difficult-to-treat or refractory moderate or severe AE patients. However, application of systemic medications over a long time can lead to unwanted adverse events. Therefore many AE sufferers have chosen to use alternative therapies including Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) to manage their AE. In spite of long-term use of CHM in clinical practice and the recently increasing clinical literature concerning the benefit of CHM treatment for AE, the current state of evidence for topical and oral CHMs has not been systematically evaluated. It should be noted that despite such evidence gaps, a series of CHM formulae for AE has been included and recommended in the Chinese Medicine Guidelines 2011 and Expert Consensus 2013 (publication 2). The present thesis aimed to address this by evaluating the current literature and identifying priority targets for generating new clinical evidence. Specifically, this research aimed: 1) to systematically evaluate the current state of clinical evidence with respect to benefits and safety of CHM for patients with AE; 2) to identify new clinical research priority(ies) and develop a protocol for a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial; and 3) to conduct a pilot study to determine the feasibility of the trial protocol and to gather preliminary data for the efficacy and safety of Pei-Tu-Qing-Xin granules (PTQX), a CHM preparation for children aged six to 16 years with moderate to severe AE. To address research question 1), two systematic reviews with meta-analysis were conducted and published (publications 4 and 5). The first systematic review included 10 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) involving 1,058 participants who were treated topically with CHM or positive pharmacotherapy control interventions. Meta-analysis of these 10 trials shown an overall effect in favour of CHM in terms of 'total effectiveness rate' when compared to topical conventional medications. However, caution should be given to these finding due to the high 'risk of bias' and significant methodological flaws of the included trials. The second systematic review was a Cochrane Systematic Review which included 28 RCTs involving 2,306 children and adults. In most of the included studies, a higher number of participants were reported…

▼ Human nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily represents an important group of regulating factors of a large number of physiologically important target genes. In this project, we hypothesized that the phenotype of non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) of NRs and their target genes could be predicted using computational approaches and that herbal compounds regulated CYP3A4 via pregnane X receptor (PXR) mediated pathway. To test this hypothesis: Firstly, we employed SIFT and PolyPhen to predict the impact of 442 nsSNPs in 48 human NR genes on NR activities and disease susceptibility. Of 442 nsSNPs, 289 (65.38%) were classified as “intolerant†by SIFT and 269 (60.86%) were classified as “probably damaging†or “possibly damaging†by PolyPhen respectively. The results from the two algorithms were in concordance. Among the 442 mutations, 229 of them have been functionally characterized. SIFT gave a correct prediction rate of 83.84%, while PolyPhen gave a prediction rate of 76.86%. These results indicate that both SIFT and PolyPhen are useful and efficient tools to predict the functional effects of nsSNPs of human NR genes. Secondly, we predict the phenotypical impact of 1632 nsSNPs from human ABC transporter genes. Using the PolyPhen and SIFT, 41.8-53.6% of nsSNPs in ABC transporter genes were predicted to have an impact on protein function. The prediction accuracy was up to 63-85% when compared with known phenotypical data. Of nsSNPs predicted as deleterious, the prediction scores by SIFT and PolyPhen were significantly related to the number of nsSNPs with known phenotypes confirmed by experimental and human studies. Finally, we investigated the effect of an array of compounds isolated from commonly used Chinese herbal medicines on the activity of PXR in transiently transfected HepG2 and Huh7 cells and on the expression of PXR and CYP3A4 in human intestinal LS174T cells. The study found that praeruptorin A and C, salvianolic acid B, sodium danshensu, and protocatechuic aldehyde, cryptotanshinone, emodin, morin, and tanshinone IIA significantly transactivated the CYP3A4 reporter gene construct in HepG2 cells or Huh7 cells. The PXR mRNA expression in LS174T cells was significantly induced by physcion, protocatechuic aldehyde, salvianolic acid B, and sodium danshensu. However, epifriedelanol, morin, praeruptorin D, mulberroside A, tanshinone I, and tanshinone IIA significantly down-regulated the expression of PXR mRNA in LS174T cells. Furthermore, emodin, physcion, praeruptorin C and E, protocatechuic aldehyde, rhein, salvianolic acid B, and sodium danshensu significantly induced CYP3A4 mRNA expression in human intestinal LS174T cells. These findings suggest that: a) predicting the phenotypic consequence of nsSNPs in human NRs and their target genes ABC transporters using computational algorithms may provide further understanding of genetic differences in susceptibility to diseases and drug response and would be useful hints for further genotype-phenotype studies; and b) herbal…

▼ Οι ποικίλοι λόγοι και πρακτικές που αναπτύσσουν οι Έλληνες επαγγελματίες του χώρου της υγείας σε σχέση με την εισαχθείσα κινέζικη ιατρική, επιβεβαιώνουν τον βασικό ισχυρισμό του Giddens και άλλων θεωρητικών αναφορικά με την παγκοσμιοποίηση¹ . Καθώς η γνώση μετακινείται σε νέα περιβάλλοντα ενεργοποιεί ένα πολιτισμικό διάκενο το οποίο αντισταθμίζεται με την οικειοποίηση και τη χρήση της νέας γνώσης κατά τρόπο που ταιριάζει στις τοπικές αντιλήψεις (βλ. και Howell 1995). Η κινέζικη ιατρική, κατά την διαδικασία της πολιτισμικής ενσωμάτωσης στον ελληνικό αστικό χώρο, επιδέχεται μετασχηματισμούς και επαναπροσαρμόζεται, κατά περίπτωση, συνδεόμενη με αντιλήψεις που προϋπάρχουν και συνδέουν το χώρο της υγείας με τις κατηγορίες της επιστήμης, του έθνους, του φύλου και της θρησκείας. Κατά αυτή την έννοια, δημιουργούν μια εντόπια εκδοχή της κινέζικης ιατρικής, εκδοχή που συνδέεται ακροθιγώς με το εισαγόμενο υπερεθνικό αγαθό και εκφράζει μία από τις παγκοσμιοποιημένες όψεις του. Η επαναλαμβανόμενη ερώτηση «τι είναι η κινέζικη ιατρική επιστήμη» ακολουθείται από την αναπόσπαστη «ποιος έχει την εξουσιοδότηση να την αποσαφηνίσει και την ασκήσει». Οι γιατροί-βελονιστές ακολουθούν τη μετανεωτερική στρατηγική του προσδιορισμού της επαγγελματικής τους ταυτότητας προσθέτοντας στην ιατρική τους εκπαίδευση προνεωτερικές μεθόδους θεραπείας, οι οποίες αναπροσαρμόζονται σε σύγχρονες ιατρικές θεωρίες και τεχνικές. Ο βελονισμός και η βοτανοθεραπεία ωστόσο εμπλέκει και επαγγελματίες χωρίς ιατρική εκπαίδευση οι οποίοι δρουν θεραπευτικά μέσα σε ένα εθνικό πλαίσιο υγείας όπου απουσιάζουν οι νομικές διευθετήσεις που θα μπορούσαν να καθορίσουν το επίπεδο της εκπαίδευσής τους όπως και τα όρια της θεραπευτικής τους παρέμβασης. Το υψηλό επίπεδο διεκδίκησης της επαγγελματικής ταυτότητας εκφράζεται και από τις δύο ομάδες, μέσα από την δημιουργία σχολών και επαγγελματικών δικτύων. Ταυτόχρονα, η επιτυχής διαπραγμάτευση της ατομικής ή συλλογικής τους γνώσης εξαρτάται από την ικανότητά τους να σφυρηλατήσουν και να κινητοποιήσουν υπερεθνικές κοινότητες οι οποίες βρίσκονται πέρα από τον άμεσο κύκλο των εντόπιων θεραπευτών. Ως προς το ζήτημα της κανονικοποίησης των κριτηρίων ειδημοσύνης των επαγγελματιών που δρουν στο χώρο της κινέζικης ιατρικής, η άρνηση των ιατρικών συλλόγων της χώρας να αναγνωρίσουν το βελονισμό ως ιατρική πράξη ή ειδικότητα, καθώς θίγει τη βασική, φαρμακευτική, θεραπευτική μεθοδολογία που ακολουθούν, αποτελεί έναν επιπλέον παράγοντα για το ότι η τεχνική του βελονισμού εξακολουθεί να βρίσκεται στη σφαίρα της εναλλακτικής ιατρικής, η οποία χαρακτηρίζεται ενίοτε και ως πρακτική κομπογιανιτισμού. Η περιθωριοποίηση του βελονισμού, ωστόσο, δεν καταλαμβάνει μια πρωτογενή δομική θέση η οποία καθορίζεται οριστικά συσχετιζόμενη με την προϋπάρχουσα και κυρίαρχη δυτική ιατρική, αλλά μετασχηματίζεται και επανακατασκευάζεται διαρκώς μέσα σε ένα σύνολο άρρυθμων, κοινωνικοιστορικών διαδικασιών. Προβάλλεται κάθε φορά ως μια συλλογή ετερογενών πρακτικών οι οποίες διαμεσολαβούν στις μεταμορφώσεις που επιδέχεται η μετάδοση της γνώσης, η επαγγελματική ταυτότητα…
