RESUMO
Objective:To construct the knowledge base of Tibetan medicine prescriptions and explore to standardize the names of Tibetan medicine prescriptions. Method:By using the concept of "man-machine combination",through the construction of Tibetan medicine terminology glossary (data sources: national drug standards,local drug standards,text classics on Tibetan medicines,etc.),the terminology glossary of Tibetan medicine prescriptions was mined. Upon its combination with expert review,the text association between Tibetan medicine prescriptions and various drug standards and dictionaries was constructed,and the standardization methods and techniques of prescription drug names were explored. Result:In this paper,the Tibetan medicine prescriptions approved for marketing in China were taken as the research object,and various inconveniences caused by the inconsistency between the names of prescriptions and the names of medicinal herbs were revealed. This paper also discussed the design ideas on name standardization of Tibetan medicines from three levels: text association,optimization of evaluation methods,and formation of expert decision-making system. We put forward a five-in-one (screening, evaluation, reviewing, fixing, and renewing) research model of Tibetan medicine name standardization. The construction,functions and advantages of the database and thesaurus of Tibetan medicine prescriptions were described in detail, and in combination with the text notes, association between the standard medicinal materials and the prepared prescriptions was then established. Conclusion:The text association method in this paper can accurately reflect the nonstandard names of Tibetan medicine prescriptions. Combined with expert review,it can be, to a certain extent, extended to the standardization of herb names in prescriptions with large scale of or more complex network structures.
RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study topiramate's new functions according to the medicinal property combinations, in order to apply the traditional Chinese medicinal theory in discovering new purposes of old drugs.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>According to New Traditional Chinese Medicinal Families--Chemical Traditional Chinese Medicines, the authors found out topiramate's property. Then based on the therapeutic principle of diabetes, hypertension, epilepsy and lung cancer, as well as the relations of efficacies and medicinal property combinations, they summarized the corresponding medicinal property combination modes, compared topiramate's medicinal property combination mode with corresponding medicinal property combination modes of these diseases, and predict topiramate's new functions.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>According to the comparison, the corresponding medicinal property combinations were consistent with topiramate's medicinal property combinations as evidenced by corresponding literatures, whereas other medicinal property combinations were not.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Based on medicinal property combination modes, the authors screened topiramate's new functions according to e of TCM clinical experience, discovered topiramate's therapeutic effects on diabetes, hypertension and lung cancer in addition to epilepsy, and explore new drug function according to medicinal property combination modes, which could help greatly shorten the new drug R&D period.</p>

Multi-component traditional Chinese medicines are an innovative research mode for traditional Chinese medicines. Currently, there are many design methods for developing multi-component traditional Chinese medicines, but their common feature is the lack of effective connection of the traditional Chinese medicine theory. In this paper, the authors discussed the multi-component traditional Chinese medicine design methods based on medicinal property combination modes, provided the combination methods with the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine for the prescription combinations, and proved its feasibly with hypertension cases.
