关于促进我国针灸医学深入发展的几点思考

我国在针刺研究方面取得的成就是巨大的。１９９７年１１月美国ＮＩＨ召开针刺疗法听证会取得成功，反映了国际上对针刺疗法的日益重视。而对国内外的严峻形势，建议有关领导部门加强集中领导，组织协同攻关，加强基础研究投入，开展高层次的、基础与临床相结合的系列研究。同时要进一步重视老中青队伍的结合，做好人才梯队的培养。我们应抓住机遇，迎接挑战，努力开创我国针刺研究跨世纪的新局面。

SEVERAL PONDERATIONS ON PROMOTING THE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF ACUPUNCTURE AND MOXIBUSTION MEDICINE

There have been tremendous achievements of acupuncture research in our country. In Nov.,1997,NIH of United States convened a hearing on acupuncture therapy and achieved success, which reflected that more and more attention was being paid to acupuncture therapy in the world. Facing the serious situation at home and abroad, we suggest that the authorities concerned should strenghthen the leadership, organize cooperative studies, increase the funds of basic research, develop a series of high level researches combining the basic theory with clinical practice. Meanwhile, we should devote much attention to integration among the elderly, middle aged and young professionals and talent cultivation of various degrees. We ought to take the opportunity, meet the challenge, and strive to open a new area for national acupuncture research and carry it to the next century.
