The clinical therapeutics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitutes a complicated process which involves theory, diagnosis, and formula prescription with specific herbal dosage. Zhang Zhong-Jing’s classic work, Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, has been influencing TCM practice for almost 2000 years. However, during this extended period of time in Chinese history, the Chinese weight measurement system experienced noticeable changes. This change in the weight measurement system inevitably, and perhaps even negatively, affected TCM herbal dosage determination and treatment outcome. Thus, in modern society, a full understanding of the accuracy of herbal dose selection has a critical importance in the TCM daily practice of delivering the best treatment to the patients suffering from different illnesses. In the 973 Project of the Chinese National Basic Research Program, expert consensus on classic TCM formula dose conversion has been reached based on extensive literature review and discussion on the dose–effect relationship of classic TCM formulas. One “liang” (两) in classic TCM formulas is equivalent to 13.8[Formula: see text]g. However, based on many TCM basic and clinical studies of variable herbal formula prescriptions and herbal drug preparations, the rule of one liang equals 13.8[Formula: see text]g should be adjusted according to different disease conditions. Recommended by the committee on TCM formula dose–effect relationship of the China Association of Chinese Medicine and the World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies, the following expert consensus has been reached: (i) One liang converts to 6–9[Formula: see text]g for the severely and critically ill patients. (ii) One liang converts to 3–6[Formula: see text]g for the patients suffering from chronic diseases. (iii) One liang converts to 1–3[Formula: see text]g in preventive medicine. The above conversions should be used as a future TCM practice guideline. Using this recommended guideline should enhance the effectiveness of daily TCM practice.

Urinary Creatinine Excretion

In Reply.— The questions posed by Harkavy allow me to expand on the initial presentation of the data in my previous report.1 As documented by numerous previous reports, urinary creatinine excretion does, in fact, reflect body muscle mass.2 Furthermore, it has been documented in older infants that creatinine excretion per kilogram increases with the age, weight, and length of the infant.3 The regression data in my report are not expressed in terms of creatinine per kilogram as the dependent variable as this multiplies the error of creatinine measurement by including the error in weight measurement (hydration states etc).

Length and weight measurement for 31f ish species encountered in the Arabian Sea , o f f t h e Oma n Coast, were collected by demersal trawling during March 2007 and March 2008. A total of 3,261 specimens were measured for total length, or fork length, where appropriate, and green weight. Several commonly caught commercial species undergo onboard processing (dressing) prior to packaging, and dressed weight to green weight regressions and conversion factors were calculated for 12 of these species. The relationships obtained in this study were compared with those of other  studies for the same fish species. These data are fundamental to understanding the biological parameters of fishes, and can be applied to fisheries stock assessment and management models.

Loading management is one of the most important technologies for ship power system. Reasonable distribution of electric energy to the loading can achieve the goal of optimal energy schedule and its primary issue is to make a reasonable loading priority evaluation. This paper analyzed the shortcomings of the loading priority evaluation using the AHP and proposed a kind of algorithm of property weight evaluation based on PRISM classification, effectively combing expertise and characteristics of the objective data itself together. The results show that: the loading priority of ship power system is mainly affected by two properties of demand urgency and vulnerability. The results of various algorithms are basically consistent with the above conclusion, which proved the correctness of the algorithm. Comparison among various evaluation results tables shows that for the same weight measurement standard using different classification algorithm or property reduction algorithms, the results of its loading priority evaluation slightly differ.
