浅谈中国传统文化中的现代价值观——和谐理念

和谐是当今社会的主旋律,也是从古到今人们永恒的追求,我们的先哲们自古就充分认识到了和谐的价值.中国古代和谐观主要包括三个方面的内容:人与自然的和谐,人与人的和谐,人自身的和谐.古为今用,在建设社会主义和谐社会的大环境下,我们能够更深刻的理解它的现代价值--在我们的和谐社会的建设中发挥它的指导作用.     

中医药对牙周病的研究和治疗思路

中医药对牙周病的研究和治疗已有悠久的历史,它与牙周基础治疗结合可以获得良好的治疗效果,可弥补单纯西医在治疗牙周病时偏重局部的缺陷。对中医药对牙周病研究和治疗的历史和进展情况作了简要综述,并就中医药对牙周病的治疗思路和中西医结合治疗牙周病的科学合理性进行了探讨。

中医是科学吗?

中医是否科学的争论由来已久,科学观不同,答案各异.肯定者认为它是东方传统科学,否定者则视之为传统文化、实用技术或巫术.正确认识这一问题具有科学、文化与产业三方面的意义.应以求实的态度、历史的观点和系统的方法探讨之,其结果不仅有利于中医的发展,也有助于对科学本质的理解.     

“废医验药”是发展中医药的必由之路

通过政策保护、虚假宣传和复古都不可能振兴中医。中医的唯一出路是“废医验药”,废弃其非科学的理论体系,用现代医学方法检验中药和其他中医疗法的有效性和安全性。只有走“废医验药”的道路,中医中的某些合理成分才会融入现代医学之中,变成现代医学的一部分,中医的贡献才会得到认可和保存。     

构建医学院校创新性实验教学体系的思考

医学是一门实践性和应用性很强的学科,实验教学是高等医学教育中的重要组成部分,它不仅是对理论教学的补充,更是培养学生动手能力、综合分析问题、解决问题能力的重要教学环节,是培养学生的科研思维和创新精神的重要手段,具有其他教学环节不可替代的作用.     

Whose social values? Evaluating Canada’s ‘death of evidence’ controversy

With twentieth- and twenty-first-century philosophy of science’s unfolding acceptance of the nature of scientific inquiry being value-laden, the persistent worry has been that there are no means for legitimate negotiation of the social or non-epistemic values that enter into science. The rejection of the value-free ideal in science has thereby been coupled with the spectres of indiscriminate relativism and bias in scientific inquiry. I challenge this view in the context of recently expressed concerns regarding Canada's death of evidence controversy. The worry, raised by Stathis Psillos, is that as constructivist accounts of science demoted the previously secure status of evidence for drawing justified conclusions in science, we were left with no rational delineation between the right and wrong values for science. The implication for the death of evidence controversy is that we may have no rational grounds for claiming that the Canadian Government is wrong to interfere with scientific enterprise. But he does offer another avenue for reaching the conclusion that the wrong social values are directing the current stifling of some sectors of Canadian science. Psillos draws from standpoint epistemologies to devise a salient defence of ‘valuing evidence’ as a universalizable social value. That is, government bodies ought to enable scientific research via adequate funding as well as political non-interference. In this paper, I counter that (i) non-epistemic values can be rationally evaluated and that (ii) standpoint epistemology’s universalizable standpoint provides an inadequate framework for negotiating social values in science. Regarding (i), I draw from the evidence-based medicine debate in philosophy of medicine and from feminist empiricist investigations into the science–values relationship in order to make the argument for empirically driven value arbitration. If social values can be rationally chosen in the context of justification, then we can have grounds for charging the Canadian leadership with being ‘at war with science’. (ii) I further argue that my recommended empiricist methodology is preferable to Psillos’s search for universalizable perspectives for negotiating social values in science because the latter method permits little more than the trivial conclusion that evidence is valuable to science.     

Clarifying Heterogeneity of Daytime and Nighttime Symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress in Combat Veterans With Insomnia

Daytime and nighttime symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are common among combat veterans and military service members. However, there is a great deal of heterogeneity in how symptoms are expressed. Clarifying the heterogeneity of daytime and nighttime PTSD symptoms through exploratory clustering may generate hypotheses regarding ways to optimally match evidence-based treatments to PTSD symptom profiles. We used mixture modeling to reveal clusters based on 6 daytime and nighttime symptoms of 154 combat veterans with insomnia and varying levels of PTSD symptoms. Three clusters with increasing symptom severity were identified (n1 = 50, n2 = 70, n3 = 34). These results suggest that, among veterans with insomnia, PTSD symptoms tend to exist on a continuum of severity, rather than as a categorical PTSD diagnosis. Hypotheses regarding possible targeted treatment strategies for veterans within each identified cluster, as well as ways to generalize these methods to other groups within the military, are discussed.     

从中西医学的竞争和渗透谈现代中医临床思维的变革

现代中医的临床思维正在发生着变革,一个以辨病为纲,辨证为目,辨病论治为经,辨证论治为纬的临床思维新模式,已经呼之欲出。这正是２１世纪中医学发展的必由之路,学术界必从唯物辩证法的角度来审视这场变革,并因其势而利导之。
