Two international meetings, the International Physiome Symposium 2008 and the Workshop on Systems Biology (SB) and Oriental Medicine (OM), were held to discuss the most appropriate scientific tools to research OM. Participants agreed that since OM is holistic medicine it needs a systems approach such as SB. However, SB itself is still a long way from identifying the high-level organization processes in the biological system that might correlate with concepts in OM. As such, a modest goal of launching a project to examine the problems of translation and interpretation of OM concepts would be the first step.
召开了两次国际会议,即 2008 年国际生理系统模拟研讨会和系统生物学(SB)与东方医学(OM)研讨会,以讨论研究 OM 最适当的科学工具。与会者一致认为,由于 OM 是整体医学,因此需要 SB 等系统方法。然而,SB 本身在确定可能与 OM 概念相关的生物系统中的高级组织过程方面还有很长的路要走。因此,启动一个项目来检验 OM 概念的翻译和解释问题,将是一个适度的目标,也是第一步。
