MEDLINE is a comprehensive biomedical database produced by the National Library of Medicine at the NIH. It provides citations with abstracts and some full text links to research articles. Guides for using PubMed to access MEDLINE are available from the Bastyr Library and from the PubMed search screen (click Tutorial on the left sidebar). |
In November 2001, MEDLINE adopted pinyin to romanize Chinese characters, replacing the outdated Wade-Giles system. For example, the pinyin Qi (the traditional Asian concept of the life force that travels along channels of the body, called meridians) now replaces the Wade-Giles form, Ch’i. Wade-Giles transliterations are associated with the correct pinyin forms in MEDLINE and will still be searchable as keywords. |
Conducting research in the field of Chinese herbal medicine is complex, as is the process of locating published studies. Several major reasons for this are: 1) different spellings of the names of herbs abound; 2) certain age-old herbs have many different botanical variations, depending on where the plants are gathered; and 3) many herbs are used in combinations, or patent formulas, which set up synergistic effects that are difficult to assign to one plant or another. Standardization and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) are also issues. Research interest in Chinese herbs is picking up but, to date, there are very few well-designed research studies of these substances. Some Chinese herbs are MeSH subject headings in MEDLINE, but most are not. Major botanical name variations, including the common and scientific names, and also chemical constituents that have been suggested as producing a therapeutic effect, can be useful search terms. |
