Its researching field covers Chinese medicine, chemical drugs, biomedicine, healthcare products, food and beverages. Meanwhile, the Institute is equipped with advanced technology and professional experts. In 2002, it was named 'Enterprise-oriented Technological Center of the State'. In 2000, the Personnel Ministry of China approved the establishment of a Post-doctoral Research Center in Tasly. Tasly was ratified by the Science and Technology Ministry as one of the experimental enterprises for innovative production.


The Developing Concept of Tasly Institute


Following the concept of 'setting up institute that is open to the world',Tasly tries to make extensive cooperation with famous universities and research academies both at home and abroad. Tasly has established technologically innovative system based on the combination of core and periphery institutes, exclusive and inclusive researches, basic and applicable researches. Tasly has made extensive cooperation with many overseas scientific research institutes and universities like Harvard University, Aston University in England, Baker Medical Research Institute in Australia, etc. and has formed a huge scientific researching system with Tasly's characteristics.

The Institute is trying to build up R&D platform and Project Management Platform through resource optimization, integration and appropriate arrangement. Via the establishment of the two platforms, the Institute will make its due contribution to the sustainable development of the whole Group.

Tasly Institute owns a large group of Departments of scientific research management and service departments, like the Modern TCM Department, Chemical Medicine Department, Pharmacology and Toxicology Department, Medical Analysis Department, International Medical Research and Registration Center, Medical Affairs Management Center, Clinical Medicine Department, Project Management Department, and Logistics and Equipment Management Department, etc.

Peter Mwaura Mutiti: Teaching old blood cells new tricks
When you hear someone mention circulation you probably think of the heart and major arteries—and for good reason. Circulatory disorders such as hypertension (high blood pressure) and atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) are major risk factors for heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke. But there’s more to it than that. With all the attention on the heart and arteries, it’s easy to overlook serious health problems affecting the smallest components of the circulatory system—microscopic blood vessels called microcapillaries, where the critical exchange of oxygen and nutrients actually takes place. If blood isn’t flowing through this web properly, it can trigger all sorts of health problems, many of which may not seem related to circulation at all.

A number of factors contribute to poor circulation as we age. Arteries and veins become stiff and congested as cholesterol and calcium plaques accumulate and restrict blood flow. Spasms in the smooth muscles surrounding the circulatory arteries and veins can also choke off circulation. These same processes also occur in our microcapillaries, reducing microcirculation and impairing the critical exchange of nutrients and gases in tissues and major organs.

This problem only gets worse as we get older because of changes in the composition and structure of blood cells. As you reach middle age, the blood starts to thicken and congeal as platelets and blood proteins make cells sticky. Plus, the spleen—the organ that removes old, damaged blood cells from circulation—begins to slow down with age, which means new, healthy blood cells are replaced at a sharply reduced rate. And to make matters even worse, as blood cells age, they become stiff and no longer appear round and evenly shaped. This makes it harder for them to pass smoothly through the capillaries. In fact, the angular, jagged shape of the old cells can damage the fragile microcapillaries even further.

Eventually, these age-related changes take their toll on the microcapillaries, reducing circulation to the tissues and blocking the flow of nutrients and oxygen. Removal of carbon dioxide and other metabolic waste products is also hindered. This leads to a slow buildup of metabolic garbage that can gradually bury the cells in their own waste products. In time, the cells, poisoned by their own metabolic byproducts, begin to waste away and ultimately cease to function altogether.

The combined effect of poor circulation and old blood contributes to a host of symptoms, including deep fatigue, fuzzy thinking, frequent infections, and lowered sex drive—all conditions usually considered just “normal parts of aging.” If circulation doesn’t improve, it can lead to more serious conditions, such as high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and arthritis. But giving your body a fresh supply of healthy blood may target all of these problems and more.
