Research progress and trend of quantitative evaluation methods of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces
The quality evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)decoction pieces plays a crucial role in both market transactions and clinical applications.The quality of TCM decoction pieces directly affects their clinical efficacy.In order to ensure the safety and effectiveness of these decoction pieces,it is vital to explore methods for quality control.The quality of TCM decoction pieces is closely related to their physicochemical properties,and qualitative and quantitative studies are common approaches for quality control.However,due to the complex composition of these decoction pieces,the accuracy and comprehensiveness of quality assessment methods still need to be further improved.Building on previous research,the article systematically reviews and summarizes the grading and quantitative evaluation methods for TCM decoction pieces in recent years,proposing a comprehensive evaluation method based on the"Shape-Quality-Efficacy"theory.This method integrates multiple factors,including the external morphology,physicochemical properties,and pharmacological efficacy of TCM,providing a more comprehensive evaluation of the overall quality of decoction pieces.It offers a reference for establishing a quality evaluation system for TCM decoction pieces and provides a theoretical foundation for future research on the evaluation methods for TCM decoction pieces.
