摘要

印度部落属于预定的部落类别，占印度总人口的8.6%。其中非传染性疾病的负担日益加重。然而，在各部落及其民族医学实践中，严重缺乏关注非传染性疾病的综合知识库。因此，本研究旨在汇编印度不同部落的非传染性疾病患病率和民族医学实践。方法根据PRISMA指南，从PubMed文献、图书章节及在线和离线模式的相关文献中收集数据库中有关非传染性疾病和民族医学实践的资源。使用HTML、CSS、Bootstrap和JavaScript实现和设计了数据库heart（部落健康和民族医药改良资源库）。后台使用PHP开发。使用Apache HTTP 2.2.15 web服务器和MySQL 5.1.69数据库服务器来检索和存储数据。结果：sheart是一个全面的、人工整理的数据库，包括印度28个邦和8个联邦直辖区的414个不同的部落社区。该数据库包含15种不同非传染性疾病在部落社区的流行情况，如高血压、糖尿病等。它还提供了572种不同类型的民族药用植物的信息，这些植物可有效防治169种不同疾病，特别是非传染性疾病。总的来说，HEART是一个致力于印第安部落的在线资源，提供关于非传染性疾病流行程度和他们使用的民族药用植物的全面信息。该平台通过识别甚至在脆弱部落群体中存在的卫生不平等和非传染性疾病负担，为科学界和决策者服务。可通过http://bicresources.jcbose.ac.in/ssaha4/HEART/访问该数据库。

HEART: A database on health and ethnomedicinal traditions of Indian tribes

Objectives

Indian tribes belong to the scheduled tribe category, comprising 8.6% of the total Indian population. There is an increasing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) among them. However, there is a significant lack of comprehensive knowledgebases focusing on NCDs within various tribes and their ethnomedicinal practices. Therefore, this study aims to compile the prevalence of NCDs and the ethnomedicinal practices of diverse tribes across India.

Methods

The resources on NCDs and ethnomedicinal practices of the database were collected from PubMed literature, book chapters, and related documents available in online and offline modes following the PRISMA guidelines. The database-HEART (Health and Ethnomedicinal Amelioration Repository of Tribals) was implemented and designed using HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and JavaScript. The Backend is developed using PHP. Apache HTTP 2.2.15 web server and MySQL 5.1.69 database server are used to retrieve and store data.

Results

HEART is a comprehensive, manually curated database comprising of 414 distinct tribal communities across 28 states and 8 Union Territories of India. This database contains prevalence of 15 different NCDs in tribal communities, such as Hypertension, Diabetes etc. It also provides information on 572 different types of ethnomedicinal plants effective against 169 different diseases, specifically NCDs.

Conclusion

Overall, HEART is an online resource dedicated to Indian tribes, providing comprehensive information on the prevalence of NCDs and the ethnomedicinal plants they use. This platform serves both the scientific community and policymakers by identifying health inequalities and NCD burdens even among vulnerable tribal groups.

The database is accessible in http://bicresources.jcbose.ac.in/ssaha4/HEART/.

期刊介绍： This review aims to compare approaches to medical ethics and bioethics in two forms, Anglo-Saxon (Ethics, Medicine and Public Health) and French (Ethique, Médecine et Politiques Publiques). Thus, in their native languages, the authors will present research on the legitimacy of the practice and appreciation of the consequences of acts towards patients as compared to the limits acceptable by the community, as illustrated by the democratic debate.
