The Path of Chinese and Western Medicine Integration and Development Guided by Metabolic Bionics
Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine each have their own advantages and disadvantages,and they complement each other.The integration of Chinese and Western medicine has become an important feature of China's medical system.However,deep integration and progression of Chinese and Western medicine theory and practice are still to be expected.In light of the needs for modern clinical diagnosis and treatment of chronic complex diseases,we outline the key scientific and technological challenges that need to be solved to promote the integration of Chinese and Western medicine toward a new medical theory system.We also discuss the value of metabolic regulation in promoting such an integration and progression.Lastly,we propose a"metabolic bionics"-directed path to promote the innovation of chronic disease treatment strategies and the development of combined new drugs,contributing Chinese medical wisdom to all humanity.
