In order to promote information interaction, intelligent regulation, and scale management in Chinese medicines industry, in this paper, a Chinese medicines intelligent service platform with characteristics of flexibility, versatility, and individuation was designed under the guidance of theoretical model of intelligent manufacturing of Chinese medicines (TMIM). TCM-ISP is a comprehensive intelligent service platform that can be flexibly applied to all links of Chinese medicines industry chain, which realizes data integration and real-time transmission as well as intelligent-flexible scheduling of equipment in response to different demand. The platform took logical framework of data flow as the core and adopts the modular design in which microcontroller and sensor module are independent to obtain overall design scheme of TCM-ISP that contains the diagram of overall framework, hardware structure, and software technology. Then, on the groundwork of overall design scheme and modern science technology, TCM-ISP was successfully constructed with flexible, intelligent, and networked characteristics in which TTL-USB and TTL-RS485S were utilized to build unified interface between boards with supporting hot-plugging mode. The results of platform tests show that TCM-ISP can not only successfully realize the integration, real-time transmission, and display of data information but also well accomplish remote intelligent-flexible control of equipment and allow flexible configuration and expansion of sensors and devices according to the needs of each link in TCM’s industry chain. It is of great practical significance to the pursuit of intelligent manufacturing of Chinese medicines and the promotion of modernization of Chinese medicines industry.

“…Second, and similar to other prospects ( 2 – 4 ), TCM is a unique health resource in China and one of the main representative traditional medicines globally. Principles for the construction of a comprehensive evaluation of China's TCM medical service system are systematicness, applicability, pertinence, feasibility, and compatibility ( 7 ). We have fully considered the systematicness and feasibility of the structure when constructing the TCM medical service system.…”

“…The indicator system framework we constructed was based on RBV. The paper concludes that only by enhancing a hospital's profitability can the balance of hospital revenue and expenditure be increased, thus reducing financial pressure on hospital operation (7). Simultaneously, the enthusiasm of medical staff can be stimulated with the stabilization of a hospital's operation and development, which in turn will enhance patient satisfaction (19,20).…”

“…That is to say, the balance and coordination of related resources should be a priority in shaping China's health-care system reform ( 6 ). Therefore, how to establish a Chinese TCM medical service system and meet the national demand for TCM services has become a major concern of stakeholders, such as TCM hospitals and local authorities ( 7 ). In fact, the construction of a high-quality, efficient TCM medical service system entails not only the upgrading and transformation of the existing health care system, but also comprehensively deepening reform and promoting the implementation of China's health strategy ( 8 ).…”

Objectives: This paper constructs a comprehensive evaluation index of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) medical service system and summarizes the development of TCM medical services in China. Methods: We chose 31 provinces' TCM hospitals as research objects. The data were obtained from the Health Statistics Yearbook from 2013 to 2018 and from the National Statistics of Chinese Medicine from 2012 to 2017. The approaches to factor analysis and TOPSIS are used in this paper. It is found that the comprehensive evaluation indexes of the TCM medical service system can be divided into 4 first-level indicators and 14 second-level indicators. Results: The development of the TCM medical service system in China is unbalanced and inadequate. North China and East China are generally superior to Northwest and Southwest China in terms of revenue and expenditure for TCM medical services. The per capita of medical resources in the Southwest and Northwest are stronger than those in Central and South China, but overall medical resources are weaker than those in East China and North China. TCM medical service institutions in East China, South China and Central China have achieved better service results and higher economic benefits with less resource input, which further indicates the efficient allocation of resources and the balanced operation of TCM medical service institutions. Conclusion: The development of China's TCM medical service system shows the imbalance and inadequacy of "East is strong, West is weak" and "South is superior, North is inferior."

Heweijiangni decoction (HWJND) is an effective traditional Chinese medicine prescription in clinical treatment of nonerosive reflux disease (NERD).Esophageal hypersensitivity and acid contribute to the disease. However, the exact underlying mechanism of action remains unclear. In this study, we observed the effect of HWJND on esophageal morphology in a rat model of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced visceral hypersensitivity followed by acid exposure. Esophageal morphology was assessed by measuring the extent of dilated intercellular spaces (DIS), desmosome disruption, and mitochondrial fragmentation. HWJND in low, moderate, and high doses relieved DIS and desmosome disruption in esophageal epithelium compared with model group (P<0.05 for all doses). In addition, HWJND in high dose protected mitochondria from fragmentation (P<0.05). Other findings suggest that DIS and mitochondrial fragmentation are independent events, and that omeprazole protects mitochondria. Overall, HWJND significantly resists esophageal morphology changes in OVA-induced and acid exposure rat model.
