　　 Lecture Title: The Development of Endocrinology in China

Abstract:　

　　 In China, goiter was described no later than the Warring States Period, and the symptoms of diabetes were described no later than the Western Han Dynasty. The descriptions of gigantism in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the relationship between goiter and geographical environment, and the ideas of exercise intervention for diabetes were all ahead of their time. Since the rise of scientific medicine, on the basis of studying western endocrinology, early Chinese intellectuals, relying on the actual situation in China, have made a lot of contributions to renal bone disease, diabetes and endemic goiter.
