基于多源信息融合的中药质量标志物与质量评价研究模式

中药具有成分复杂性、功效多样性、成分间相互作用难以预测性的特点。因此,多学科交叉、多源信息融合的评价模式是中药质量标准创新性的研究思路。提出建立多源信息融合的中药质量标志物研究模式。根据中药质量整体性和功效特异性的属性,以质量标志物为核心,通过多源信息融合方法,整合传统的中药性状鉴别,融合有机成分和无机元素的多维物质基础分析方法,从影响药材质量的多维变量体系中辨识真正对中药功效产生矢量贡献的质量标识物,量化其药效贡献度,构建体现中药质量整体性和功效特异性的全方位质量评价体系。

Research mode of quality marker research and quality evaluation of Chinese materia medica based on multi-source information fusion

Chinese materia medica (CMM) is a complex system, which has characteristics of multiple components, diversity efficacy, and unpredictable relation among components, etc. Thus, constructing the quality evaluation and quality control model based on multi-disciplinary and multi-source information fusion is an innovative research idea for quality standards of CMM. The quality control system should been fully established to cover quality integrity and efficacy specificity of CMM based on the core concept of quality marker. Traditional quality assessment methods based on characteristic feature, chemical analysis including multiple chemical components and elementary substances, and biological evaluation were integrated by data fusion methods in this system. The correlation of the organic and elemental components with the specific effects should be established in order to verify the material basis. Finally, the Q-markers (including potential elemental Q-markers) with unique characteristics relevant to specific effect were analyzed and defined. The integrated quality indexes of Q-markers relevant to specific effect were calculated. This proposed integrated quality control system based on multi-source information fusion methods would enrich and perfect the quality evaluation of CMM.
