Knowledge Management In Liu Duzhou Academic Thinking Heritage In Applied Research

Objective:To explore the feasibility and importance of introducing theories and methods of modern knowledge management into the study of TCM academic heritage, and applying knowledge discovery based on data mining technology in prescription pattern study of Chinese medicine so as to provide new ideas in research of discovery and dissemination of tacit knowledge in Chinese medicine academic.Methods:In the first part, we used literature research methods to analyze and discuss the feasibility and importance of modern knowledge management theory and methods which were applied into the Chinese medicine academic heritage.In the second part, we used knowledge discovery based on data mining method, especially frequency analysis method and correlation analysis method, to analyze respective successor's medication patterns from their recent years'clinical prescription.In the third part, we used modern information network technology to build Professor Liu Duzhou's academic heritage platform, in which we collected, collated and showed Professor Liu Duzhou's papers, books, teaching audio and video information. By establishing the academic ideological heritage platform of Professor Liu Duzhou, we provided an exchanging network environment to promote the spread and development of academic knowledge of Shang Han Lun.Results:The results showed that the introduction of knowledge management theory and methods into the study of Chinese medicine academic heritage will have far-reaching impact, and can provide epistemological and methodological guidance for the heritage of Chinese academic.In the data mining process, by using frequency analysis, we obtained Professor Wang Qingguo, and other descendants'commonly used herbs sequence in their clinical prescriptions. Correlation analysis on the data showed us the frequently used herbs combinations in their clinical prescriptions were similar with that of Professor Liu Duzhou's clinical prescriptions. Many characteristic combinations of herbs can also be found in Shang Han Lun, especially herbs combinations of Xiao Chai Hu Tang, Xie Xin Tang, Chai Hu Gui Zhi Gan Jiang Tang. Each descendant's clinical usage of herbs combinations were analyzed and founded that each has different characteristics. In the third part of this dissertation, we established Professor Liu Duzhou's academic ideological heritage platform, based on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server technology. The platform could provide us an academic sharing and communicating network environment.Conclusion:The introduction of modern knowledge management theory and methods into the study of Chinese medicine academic heritage is necessary and feasible in both theory and practice, and will take a positive role in the spread and dissemination of Chinese medicine academic knowledge.By using data mining analysis methods, we see several of Professor Liu Duzhou's successor inherited the academic thinking of Professor Liu that the importance of Shaoyang Cardinal in treating diseases. They are also good at governance liver diseases and inherited Professor Liu's features herbs combinations in their clinical prescriptions. This suggests that the disciples of Professor Liu Duzhou have consistent manner in their using of Shang Han Lun's classic prescriptions and Professor Liu's commonly used prescriptions. At the same time, each disciple does not only simply adhere to one fixed pattern in their herbs prescriptions. Each of them has new breakthrough on the basis of the previous innovation. Studies have shown that data mining techniques can reveal traces of Chinese medicine academic inheritance pattern to a certain extent, which has inspiring effect in exploring the regular inheritance pattern of Chinese medicine academic.Chinese medicine academic heritage study has very important significance for strengthening the TCM personnel training, to promote the Chinese medicine academic development of innovation. This dissertation introduces concepts of knowledge, knowledge management, explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge, noting that the TCM knowledge system, which has a lot of tacit knowledge and special heritage strategy. The introduction of knowledge management theory can have important impact on changing of the Chinese medicine academic heritage concept, and provide a useful epistemological and methodological guidance. Modern information ' technology' can become an important tool to promote access, transmission and conversion of tacit knowledge in Chinese medicine academic heritage. This dissertation has a useful exploration of the use of knowledge management theory and methods in promoting Chinese medicine academic inheritance pattern.
