This open access hospital report 2025 of the Chinese German Centre for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) includes the Patient Care Evaluation Programme of the first German hospital for traditional Chinese medicine from 2023. The scientific description of the structures, processes and results of the clinic's activities is supplemented by a follow-up survey of patients approximately 6 months after discharge from the  hospital until 2024.The TCM-Klinik Bad Kötzting started its medical work in 1991 as the first German hospital for Traditional Chinese Medicine in Germany and can treat German patients with statutory health insurance on the basis of a hospital referral. It is officially designated a university hospital of the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Today, the hospital is a specialist clinic for psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy, offering comprehensive inpatient care in conjunction with Traditional Chinese Medicine and in combination with "conventional" and naturopathic/complementary medical therapies. In addition, a coach- and web-based lifestyle programme is another cornerstone of the overall intervention.During the scientific monitoring of the hospital, it very quickly became clear that testing individual procedures - which are usually used in combination in everyday clinical practice - in exclusively randomised trials was practically impossible and only provided limited meaningful results. Pragmatic and innovative approaches are needed to enable doctors, patients, health insurers and politicians to make rational decisions. One possible solution is the Patient Care Evaluation Programme as a form of real-world evidence developed by Prof. D. Melchart.

Volume III of this manual provides an overview of the analytical investigation of 23 additional Chinese Herbal Drugs, which are most commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Together with Volumes I and II this current volume represents the most comprehensive overview to analytical studies of those herbal drugs.

Volume IV of this manual provides an overview of the analytical investigation of numerous additional Chinese Herbal Drugs, which are most commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The detailed chromatographic analysis of the main compounds is illustrated in coloured TLC-photographs and HPLC-peak profiles. Further bioactive properties, pharmacological and biological activities of all single herbal drugs, as well as their therapeutic applications are discussed. Together with Volumes I - III this current volume represents the most comprehensive overview to analytical studies of those herbal drugs on the market and therefore serves as a must-have manual for researchers and laboratories dedicated to TCM. The quality proof of the investigation meets the standard of the European Drug Regulatory Authority.

Dieses essential bietet einen Einblick in die gesundheitliche Situation – physisch wie psychisch – am Arbeitsplatz, deren Betrachtung inzwischen nach dem Arbeitsschutzgesetz auch für die kleinen Betriebe zur Verpflichtung geworden ist.

This manual, to be published in two volumes, provides a condensed overview of the analytical investigation of 80 Chinese Herbal Drugs which are most frequently in use. Thin layer chromatographic-, high pressure liquid chromatographic- and gas chromatographic-fingerprint analytical techniques allow the detection of all main low-molecular constituents of a plant drug and even single constituents can be visualized. Analytical results thereof are shown in numerous color figures. The quality proof of the investigation meets the standard of the European Drug Regulatory Authority.Furthermore, this volume gives a detailed description of the analytical methods used for several drugs. Bioactive constituents, pharmacological and biological activities of several single herbal drugs as well as their therapeutic applications are discussed.
