Chinese Database of Anticancer Herbs!!

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

See http://www.asiancancerherb.info/herbList/list_all.html for a database

of anticancer herbs in Chinese, with some English text.

 

Would those of you who read Chinese easily be willing to form a study-

group to divide the data between you, translate and summarise it, and

mount the summaries on the files area of the List?

 

Best regards,

Thanks for the link, Phil.

 

At first glance, there does not seem to be much TCM information in the

database. Most of the info is botanical (and some pharmacology). The

pictures are great to have online.

What was interesting was how they built this database. Apparently there is

an online database that people can use for research:

" Abstract: The Traditional Chinese Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval

System

TCMLARS is a database system established by the Institute of Information on

Traditional

, China Academy of Traditional , to meet the

increased

need for traditional Chinese medical information services in the 1980’s. The

system

contained over 340,000 references and abstracts to literature on Traditional

Chinese

Medicine including Chinese materia medica, acupuncture, qigong, Chinese

massage and

health promotion. Source material for TCMLARS is drawn from more than 800

Chinese

biomedical journals published since 1984. Over 30,000 records are added to

the system

annually. There are 15 databases in the system, 4 of which include both

Chinese and

English versions. Extensive indexing according to Chinese Traditional

Medicine and

Materia Medica Subject Headings and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) is done

for each

citation. Information can be searched from almost all of the fields

including title, author,

author affiliation, subject headings, key words, classification, publication

type, and abstract.

The database system is available via website (http://www.cintcm.com,

http://www.cintcm.ac.cn, http://www.sinomd.com), or CD-ROM or floppy disk. "

Does anyone know this TCMLARS?

That website www.cintcm.com is an interesting one (education, news,

powerpoint slides,..)

I still need to find the portal to TCMLARS though. Maybe one has to register

or first.

As I have mentioned before, full access to 71 Chinese medical journals

online is possible through www.wanfangdata.com ( per subscription).

Regards,

Tom.
