1. Teaching task of traditional Chinese medicine pharmacology: Through experimental research, it is helpful to clarify the nature and activity intensity of traditional Chinese medicine and clarify the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. Combining the theory of traditional Chinese medicine with modern scientific research results will help promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine. The method of experimental pharmacology, combined with the separation and extraction of effective components of traditional Chinese medicine, provides scientific experimental basis for further study on the compatibility and application of traditional Chinese medicine, improving dosage form, improving curative effect and reducing toxicity. Through experimental pharmacology, we will develop new Chinese herbal medicines with medicinal value, expand the source of medicines, and make new use of old medicines.
2. Teaching objectives of pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine: through experimental teaching, students can master the basic knowledge and operational skills of pharmacology experiments of traditional Chinese medicine, deepen their understanding of the modern scientific connotation of the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, clarify the mechanism and material basis of the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, and cultivate students' practical ability, innovative thinking and practical work style.
3. Pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine: Pharmacology is a science that studies the influence of traditional Chinese medicine on various functions of the body and its mechanism of action with pharmacological methods under the guidance of the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine. This paper mainly introduces the scientific research achievements of modern traditional chinese medicine related to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and understands the general situation of pharmacological research of traditional Chinese medicine through research and experiments. The research purpose of pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine is to make medical workers further understand the principle of action and the material basis of curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine in preventing and treating diseases. It is an important part of the category of TCM.
4. Main achievements of pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine: It has been more than 80 years since modern scientific methods were used to study traditional Chinese medicine. In the early 1920s, Chinese scholars first made systematic chemical and pharmacological studies on ephedrine, pseudoephedrine and ephedrine. Because of the discovery of specific pharmacological effects, its paper report not only shocked China, but also attracted great attention abroad, which aroused the interest of scholars all over the world in the research of ephedrine and other traditional Chinese medicines, making ephedrine an important drug in the world. At that time, due to social unrest, war unrest, poor equipment and few personnel, the research progress was slow and the results were not much. The research on this single drug was mainly carried out, and there was no cooperation among chemistry, pharmacology and clinic. In chemistry, we have studied dozens of medicinal materials such as Corydalis yanhusuo, Uncaria rhynchophylla, Ephedra sinica, Changshan, Fangji and so on. Pharmacology mainly studies dozens of medicinal materials such as ephedra, coptis chinensis, Changshan, corydalis tuber and agrimony.
