Effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine on HIV/AIDS
Human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) are new infectious diseases
with no clear record of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM). Through nearly 30 years of clinical practices
TCM doctors have made remarkable clinical achievements
developed a lot of effective prescriptions
but still lagged behind in research and development of new TCM. Currently
the only new TCM for treating AIDS is Tangcao tablets
which restricts the role of TCM in prevention and control of AIDS to a certain extent. Through the analysis of the current research on TCMs in treatment of AIDS
the author explored the bottlenecks restricting new AIDS TCM research and development
such as the lack of ideal animal model
and the large number of confounding factors for AIDS TCM clinical research. Therefore
the author paid attention to the TCM compound mechanism research on the basis of in-depth research on animal models
especially screening of in vitro antivirus and immune regulating active ingredients
so as to provide the basis for better developing HIV/AIDS TCMs.
