DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a codified, literature-based medical system with a professional class of physicians and an extensive materia medica of herbal treatments. TCM has been used widely in China for centuries; today, in urban hospital settings, it is often integrated with Western medicine. TCM has crossed-over to European and American countries during the past fifty years, through immigration and appropriation, and is now becoming an area of greater interest and more active medical research. Our long-term goal is to facilitate the establishment of an International Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine and Women's Health at Fudan University in China. We envision a center that will address important questions regarding the modulation of endocrine function that have significant impact on the health of women over their life cycle. This includes major areas of menstruation, fertility, pregnancy and menopause. The goals of this Phase I Planning Application are to: (1) strengthen an existing research and training collaboration among the multidisciplinary teams; (2) to initiate basic and clinical pilot research for at least 3 studies of Traditional Chinese Medicine for women's health conditions; and (3) to develop a Phase II grant application for this Center. The Rosenthal Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, and the Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine Research in Aging and Women's Health, at Columbia University, (under the direction of Dr. Fredi Kronenberg), and the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University (Dr. Gui Suiqi) provide ideal leadership to achieve the goals of this project. The additional key partners include the Department of Obstetrics, San Gerardo Hospital, Monza, University of Milan-Bicocca, Milan, Italy (Drs. Anita Regalia and Francesco Cardini), The University of Hong Kong (Dept. of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. P.C. Ho), and create a strong, diverse team multi-cultural team appropriate to the aims of the project.

描述（由申请人提供）：中医（Traditional Chinese Medicine，简称TCM）是一个系统化的、以文献为基础的医学体系，拥有专业级别的医师和广泛的草药治疗方法。中医在中国被广泛使用了几个世纪；今天，在城市医院，它经常与西医结合。在过去的五十年里，中医通过移民和挪用，已经跨越到欧美国家，现在正在成为一个更大的兴趣和更活跃的医学研究领域。我们的长期目标是推动在中国复旦大学建立一个国际中医药与妇女健康中心。我们设想建立一个中心，解决有关内分泌功能调节的重要问题，这些问题对妇女一生的健康有重大影响。这包括月经、生育、怀孕和更年期的主要领域。
