Features: The sixth edition of Pharmacology is revised based on the principles and opinions of the sixth round of planning textbooks by the National Health Commission's Clinical Medical Professional Textbook Evaluation Committee. Building upon the fifth edition, this version has been updated and supplemented in light of recent advances in pharmacology both domestically and internationally. During the writing process, it is grounded in fundamental pharmacological knowledge and theories, emphasizing the three basic elements (basic theories, basic knowledge, and basic skills), the five characteristics (ideological, scientific, advanced, inspirational, and applicable), and the three specific aspects (specific target audience, specific requirements, and specific limitations) of the teaching material. The content of this book focuses on covering the requirements of the National Medical Examination for Clinical Physicians and meeting the needs of postgraduate entrance examinations. In line with the development of pharmacology and current clinical practices, this revision has added and adjusted the chapter arrangement, incorporating new chapters such as Ion Channel Pharmacology, Pharmacology of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System, Introduction to Central Nervous System Pharmacology, Pharmacology for Antidementia Diseases, Drugs Affecting Autacoids, Antiretroviral Drugs, Genetic Engineering Drugs and Gene Therapy, etc. Antiparasitic drugs are now covered in a single chapter, and the chapter on antiparasitic drugs has been moved before the chapter on cardiovascular disease drugs to facilitate students' learning.
