3 Chinese Medicine News China Plans Pilot Service Program of Chinese Medicine Abroad State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SATCM) and the Ministry of Commerce is conducting cooperation on promoting Chinese Medicine service trade abroad, reveals Ms. Wang Xiaopin, Deputy Director-General of the Department of International Cooperation, SATCM. on June 3 rd. The forms of this service trade may vary, says Ms. Wang. It could be recommendation of excellent Chinese medicine physicians to open clinics abroad, or introduction of foreigners to enjoy health care service of Chinese Medicine in China. Furthermore, promotion and sale of traditional Chinese herbal medicine or patent Chinese Medicine abroad is also a very important component of Chinese Medicine service trade. She says Chinese Medicine service is a unique highlight of service export trade for China. Since 2007, special research on this regard has been conducted by SATCM and the Ministry of Commerce. Several ministries delivered a joint proposal recently to the State Department, accelerating the releasing of Several Resolutions on Enhancing Chinese Medicine Service Trade. It is also reported that SATCM and the Ministry of Commerce will jointly hold a special forum in Hong Kong this July in order to introduce Chinese Medicine service trade. Meanwhile, SATCM hopes to conduct personals training as soon as possible and to select some Chinese Medicine institutions for the pilot service program of Chinese medicine abroad. Research Programs of Cancer Treatment with Chinese Medicine Sponsored by American government, National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) is a special scientific and research institution for CAM under the Ministry of Health and Civil Service. As one of the 27 research institutions or centers comprising NIH, NCCAM has independent appropriation right and ever-increasing resources to resolve public health care problems with CAM. It currently sponsors many ontological research programs which investigates various treatment methods of CAM in order to provide basic principles for ontological CAM research, and which explore in particular herbal treatment mechanism to cure cancers and describe some pioneering developing treatments. On Oct 21st, 2008, NCCAM announced four new CAM research centers which focus on improvement of health conditions or treatment of common diseases such as obesity, cancer and diseases related to psychological pressure. These four centers are the first group granted by the program of Centers of Excellence for Research on Complementary and Alternative, among which is Center for Herbal Treatment of Colon Cancer, University of Chicago. An overview of NCI Research Programs related with Chinese Medicine National Cancer Institute (NCI) conduced and supported various CAM researches in recent ten years, including the following seven kinds: alternative medicine systems such as acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, exercise therapies such as Taijiquan and Yoga, manipulative and body based methods such as spine-fingerpressing and massage, mind body interventions such as silent sit and biological reflex, nutritional therapeutics such as nutritional doses, pharmacological and biologic treatment such as gristle of sharps, and spiritual therapies such as praying. As early as 1998, NCI has set up Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (OCCAM) which coordinates and enhances CAM researches including prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer, cancer-related symptoms and side effect caused by regular cancer treatment. It is responsible for all CAM clinical and basic research programs related with cancer. 2

4 The Formulation of Treatment Regulation and Clinical Practice Guide for Treating Non-small Cell Lung Cancer with Chinese Medicine is Emergent The incidence rate and mortality rate of lung cancer tops the cancer list in developed countries and big and medium-sized cities of China, among which the incidence rate of non-small cell lung cancer makes up 80% of that of lung cancer. With a majority of patients choose Chinese Medicine for treatment, Chinese Medicine Comprehensive treatment has played a very important role in treating lung cancer. Previous research has indicated that Chinese Medicine has some advantage and promising research prospect in this aspect, but due to lack of uniform treatment regulations, Chinese anti-cancer medicine is abused in clinical practice, wasting a lot of medical resources and delaying patient s treatment. Thus, some Chinese Medicine experts suggest that formulation of treatment regulation and clinical practice guide for treating non-small cell lung cancer with Chinese Medicine is emergent. Among these experts is Dr. Lin Hongsheng, the project leader of Comprehensive treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with Chinese Medicine, supported by the Eleventh Five Year Plan of China, and the director of Ontological Department of Guang anmen Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. Previous research on non-small cell lung cancer has proved that combined with chemo, Chinese Medicine can enhance the efficacy and reduces toxin. It can delay cancer s relapse and metastasis after operation, prolonging life span. Integrative treatment of Western and Chinese Medicine during the third and fourth period of non-small cell lung cancer may improve patient s life quality and prolong life expectancy. Even mere treatment of non-small cell lung cancer in its late period with Chinese Medicine can relieve symptoms and prolong to a certain extent life span, especially for the weak and old. Mr. Lin says that his project gains support from the University of Columbia and NCI. Implemented in many clinical research institutions nationwide, this project aims to form the widely accepted treatment that is based on firm evidences and that represent current treatment level. With the research conducted in many research clinics, it now needs 1080 test patients, among which only 500 are recruited right now. Mr. Lin hopes that more volunteers take part in this project, who, where appropriate, will be given free medicine and medical treatment. The Legalization Process and Later Developing Situations of Chinese Medicine in Australia On the Council Board Meeting of World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies (WFCMS) in April in Changsha, China, Dr. Tiz Chiang Lin, Vice-Chairman of WFCMS, introduced the legalization process and later developing situations of Chinese Medicine in Australia. The first international law for Chinese Medicine (including Acupuncture) was established in April, 2000 in the state of Victoria, Australia. Its establishment made a stir in the world because of its epoch-making significance: it marks the first time Chinese Medicine enters into the western world and the first time Chinese Medicine is legalized and protected by a western constitution when Chinese Medicine physicians enjoy equal legal status as western doctors. Mentioning legalization, I have to introduce the legalization process of a western country. Australia is one country of the Commonwealth. Hospitals and drugs are separately managed with the federal government governing all the import and export of all drugs and state government regulating doctors. They do not interfere with each other. The state government has its own executive and constituent power. Said Dr. Lin. Chinese medicine development in Victoria State after its legislation After its legislation, Chinese Medicine doctor has been recognized in this state, and Chinese medicine have 3

5 been developed under the government administration, which draw the attention of Australia people. Each year, the annually outpatients visits are about 2.8 million, based on 20 million of total population in Australia, 80% of the patients speak English. Expenditure on traditional medicine is about more than one billion Australian dollars. Chinese Medicine will continue to be in good development. After the legislation, the administrative body of Chinese Medicine has been established under Victorian Government. In 2000, this government allotted 100 thousand Australia dollars for the foundation of Chinese Medicine Registration board, which takes in charge of Chinese Medicine. Currently the registration board has received 1300 application among which 830 passed the accreditation. The mission of Chinese Medicine Registration Board is to normalize the standard of Chinese Medicine practice, to do the registration to Chinese Medicine Doctor Practitioner (Acupuncturist), to verify and approve undergraduate education of Chinese Medicine, and to set up standards of Chinese Medicine exam and education. New development of Chinese Medicine legislation in Australia Since its legislation in Victoria state, Chinese Medicine practitioners try to put forward it to the whole country. In 2005 all the medical professionals including western doctors, dentists, physical therapist and nurses etc, will be under the administration of federal government, there is a relating program called National Registration and Accreditation for the Health Professions Scheme. The Scheme doesn t include Chinese Medicine practitioners due to its lack of legislation in other States of Australia excepting Victoria. On February 6th 2007, Federation of Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Societies of Australia(FCMASA) has sent an application with demand of Registration and Accreditation to Chinese Medicine practitioners to Premier office. On March 26th 2008, the Scheme of National registration and accreditation for Health Professions approved by Council of Australian Government decides to do the administration to 9 professions including western medicine, pharmacology and physical therapy etc, and meanwhile do the study to other profession out of this scheme such as Chinese Medicine, which will facilitate the national legislation of Chinese Medicine. On July 14th 2008, FCMASA has received the official document from Megan Cahill, Chairperson of Chinese Medicine Practitioners Administration Committee, and Health ministry of Victoria State. In this letter, FCMASA is invented to join the submission of Scheme of National registration and accreditation for Health Professions to Chinese Medicine and other professions. On September 21st 2009, FCMASA sent another submission with requirement of listing the Chinese Medicine Registration in to the agenda of federal congress agenda. On February14th 2009, Chairperson of FCMASA, Dr. Tzi Chiang Lin sent the letter to Minister of Health ministry of each state, to show the support to Chinese Medicine legislation. On Arial 28th 2009, governor of Victoria State gave the replay to Dr. Lin that, the registration of Chinese Medicine practitioners among the whole country will start in On May 8th 2009, federal government announced that the legislation of Chinese Medicine will begin in For the legislation of Chinese Medicine in Australia, not only the Chinese government, but also Chinese Medicine organizations in Australia has made great effort. FCMASA has been always devoting into it and is going to organize the 6th World Congress of Chinese Medicine in December 2009, which has drawn the attention of Australia government. The organizing committee has invited Harry Jenkins, the speaker of Federal congress of Representative, and Rohan Hammett director of Federal Drug Administration to attend the opening ceremony and gave the epigraph to the congress. This congress will be held in Australia, the first one with Chinese Medicine legislation in western countries, which will focus study of Chinese Medicine, clinical research, Chinese herbs and formula, theory and clinical practice of Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine education and scientific research and international development strategy.

Introduction of Working Regulation for Formulation and Publication of Standard Zhu Xiaole Director of Academic department of WFCMS The Background Standardization is a strategic choice for enhancing modernization of Chinese Medicine. It is WFCMS core commissions to study, formulate, promulgate and promote International Organizational Standards of Chinese Medicine, which is urgently needed in the international information communication, medical service, talent cultivation, scientific research, management regulation. WFCMS standard belongs to international organizational standard. Brief Introduction of working process In order to standardize the work of formulation and publication of International Organizational Standards of Chinese Medicine, an International Standardization Conference of Chinese Medicine was held during the WFCMS Establishment Congress. Brief Introduction of working process The proposal of formulating Working Regulation for Formulation and Publication of Standard was raised by representatives from WFCMS member societies. Afterwards, with reference to Procedures for the Technical Work of ISO/IEC Directives, the secretariat drafted the regulation on the principle of high quality, scientificity, objectivity, fairness, impartiality. Simplification and revision was made to the Procedures for the technical work of ISO/IEC Directives so as to comply with the characteristic of international standardization of Chinese Medicine and that of our organization. Eventually, a tryout version took into form after a series of discussion on Chairpersons Meeting and Council Board Meeting, during which extensive solicitation of opinions was made. The tryout version was released on WFCMS website in 2006 and served as a ground for standardization work of WFCMS. 12

14 Under the guidance of the tryout regulation, the International Standard Chinese-English Basic Nomenclature of Chinese Medicine was formulated and promulgated, and several first working drafts, committee drafts, final draft standards were prepared. During the process of formulating international organizational standard of Chinese Medicine, WFCMS perfected the organization structure of standardization with its Standardization Construction Committee officially registered in National Administration of TCM and Civil Affair Ministry, PRC., and have its technical organizational structure and responsibilities defined. Submit the final draft standard With the combination of Chinese Medicine characteristics and general rules of international standard formulation, the accumulation of precious experiences, and the command of working procedures of international standardization, the final draft standard is subjected to the examine and approval of WFCMS Council Board. 13
