  • Plurality in Qing Imperial Medicine: Examining Institutional Formations
    Asia Pacific Perspectives ∙ Fall/Winter 2013–14 Plurality in Qing Imperial Medicine: Examining Institutional Formations Beyond the Imperial Medical Bureau Sare Aricanli, Princeton University Abstract This article illustrates the value of using the lens of institutional history to study imperial medicine. Identifying and incorporating a range of organizations and posts into the narrative of imperial medicine in eighteenth-century China shows the breadth of medical activity during this time. The most familiar institution of imperial medicine is the Imperial Medical Bureau, and this study argues that we can greatly benefit from including the history of other formations such as the Imperial Pharmacy and the Ministry of Imperial Stables, Herds, and Carriages. Such an outlook reveals the overlapping spheres of institutions, practitioners, and medicinals between human and equine medicine, implies that ethnicity may have been a factor in the organization of medicine, and points to a wider range of medical practitioners and patients within the imperial realm. Furthermore, multiplicity did not only exist among institutions and practitioners, but also on the linguistic level, as evidenced by the divergence in the meaning of some Manchu and Chinese terminology. Finally, these pluralities suggest that an understanding of imperial medicine as being limited to the Imperial Medical Bureau greatly underestimates the diversity of institutions, posts, ethnicities, and languages within the eighteenth-century Chinese imperial medical world. Keywords: imperial medicine, Imperial Medical Bureau, Imperial Pharmacy, equine care Introduction The history of Chinese medicine has benefited greatly from narratives that rest http://www.usfca.edu/pacificrim/perspectives/ on the textual tradition. Chinese medicine is, however, reflected quite differently through the lenses of textual and institutional history.

PhytoKeys 108: 117–129. https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.108.25600 Abstract Species delimitation in the genus Populus is particularly challenging due to high levels of intraspecific polymorphism as well as frequent interspecific hybridisation and introgression. In this study, we aimed to examine the taxonomic status of Populus ningshanica and P. wulianensis using an integrative taxonomy that considers multiple operational criteria. We carried out morphometric analyses of leaf traits and genetic examinations (including sequence variations at five barcoding DNAs and polymorphisms at 14 nuclear microsatellite SSR primers) at the population level between them and two closely related species P. adenopoda and P. davidiana. Results suggest that P. wulianensis belongs to the polymorphic species, P. adenopoda and should be considered as a synonym of the latter. P. ningshanica may have arisen as a result on the hybridisation between P.

    Review Article A Brief Introduction of Clinical Chinese Pharmacy Education, Training and Practice in China Zhijian Lin1, Yue Li2, Bing Zhang1,* 1Department of Chinese Pharmacy, School of Chinese Materia Medica, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Beijing, CHINA. 2Department of Health Policy & Management, School of Public Health, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, US. ABSTRACT In China, there are two types of pharmacists who work on either Western Medicine (WM) or Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Both are responsible for the provision of pharmaceutical care with safe, effective, efficient and accountable medications for patients. Although Traditional Chinese Pharmacy is not a new subject, it faces a new medical environment and requires a transition. In recent years, Traditional Chinese Pharmacy is emerging as an independent discipline, largely due to global acceptance of TCM. With the development of clinical pharmacy and the increase of patients in need of healthcare services, the role of Chinese pharmacists is requiring an imperative reform. Mechanical tasks such as medication dispension are decreasing in hospital and community pharmacies. This change calls for a new model of traditional Chinese pharmacy education to promote the pharmacists’ capacity for advanced direct patient care. Since the late 1990s, some universities and colleges of TCM in China started to offer education and training programs of clinical Chinese pharmacy on various levels. Traditional Chinese Pharmacist education applies training models that closely mirror those of western pharmacists’. Presently, the emphasis of clinical Chinese Pharmacy is beginning to shift to pharmaceutical care practice. With this change, there is an increasing demand for developing clinical skills for clinical Chinese pharmacists, through degree education and non-degree training.
