本文采用对比和类比方法,借助现存调研文献,提出中医药优势疾病谱的观点,并探索确定中医药优势疾病谱的思路,强调确立中医药优势疾病谱的重要性。本文认为:1.中医药文献载述其药效的宽泛性与实际应用的局限性形成反差,需要站在学科发展的高度,用不断的实践知识对传统中医药理论重新评价和修正;2.中药、西药隶属于两个不同的医学体系,必然充分体现所隶属的医学体系的特色;3.面对日新月异的现代医学,中医药应探索隶属于自身特色的优势疾病谱;4.对中医药优势疾病谱的研究,有助于深入探讨“中医药究竟能解决什么问题”这一命题,是指导临床正确使用中药,提高中药疗效与声誉的重要举措。

This article puts forward the viewpoint that a list of diseases for which traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has superior effectiveness should be identified by the way of contrast and analogy and with the aid of existing investigation materials, explores the thought of how to identify such a list and emphasizes the importance in the identification of the list. It holds: (1) The extensive effectiveness of given Chinese medicines according to the description of TCM literatures forms contrast with their practical limitation. Therefore, traditional theories of TCM should be re-evaluated and revised by the knowledge acquired in consistent practice and from the height of the development of various disciplines; (2) Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine belong to their own different systems of medical science and thus it is natural that they should present their features of the medical science they belong to respectively; (3) Facing the modern medical science that is changing with each passing day, the identification of a list of diseases with superiority and features of TCM in their treatment should be explored; (4) The study on the identification of such a list will contribute to probe into the theme "What problems can TCM actually deal with?" and also an important measure for the guidance of correct use of Chinese medicines in clinic treatment so as to improve the curative effectiveness and the enhancement of the reputation of TCM.
