Features: This book breaks the traditional discipline-based curriculum and textbook system in pharmaceutical education, establishing an interdisciplinary system with mutual penetration and integration. It follows the human body's organ systems, with normal physiology and biochemistry—disease occurrence and development—drug treatment outcomes as the main thread. Written in accordance with the natural attributes of human perception, the comprehensive textbook reflects the teaching philosophy and content of "medicine for drugs, drugs for medicine, and people-centered education." It strives to achieve targeted treatment, appropriate medication, safe drug use, and rational drug use, thereby improving patients' quality of life. Based on the above principles, the book comprises 18 chapters, primarily covering insomnia, pain, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, coronary heart disease, chronic heart failure, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, peptic ulcer, infections, and malignant tumors, along with their pharmacological treatments and advancements. These conditions are either common diseases or major threats to human health, and improving their prevention and treatment levels holds significant clinical importance for extending life expectancy and enhancing quality of life. This book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate teaching in medical and pharmaceutical universities, as well as for reference use by researchers and healthcare professionals in related fields.
