Systems Thinking
Classical Thinking in science
 Complex system can be understood by
understanding its most fundamental
constituent parts.
 The complex problems are resolved by dividing
them into smaller, simpler and more
‘manageable’ units.
Reductionism
 Physicists: Basic particles and forces
 Chemists: Chemical bonds
 Biologists: DNA sequences and molecular
structures
Biology
 Reductionist biologists argue that investigating
individual molecules will lead to an understanding
of the complex life processes.
“The ultimate aim of the modern movement in
biology is in fact to explain all biology in terms
of physics and chemistry.”
- Francis Crick in his book “Of Molecules and Men” (1966)
THE Problem
 Can life be understood through this approach?
 Can life be treated similar to machine?
 What about the ability of living organisms to self-
damage themselves and self-repair any damage?
Elephant and the Blind People
Ontology: Worldview
 Reductionism (Analytical)
 Synthesis (W)holistic
Systems Approach
 An organism is a complex system with dynamic
relationship and interactions between the components
leading to a behavioural system.
 Systems biology is an in-depth investigation of
individual biological components at a systems level to
understand how a process, a cell, a group of cells, or
an organism works as a whole.
Recent advances in Kriya Sharir (Ayurveda Physiology)
Systems Approach
नहि ज्ञानावयवेन कृ त्स्ने ज्ञेये ववज्ञान्पत्सयतय।े
Charaka Samhita, Vimana Sthana, 7/4
One cannot have the knowledge of the ‘whole’
simply by knowing its 'parts'.
 This will help in understanding the
interrelationship between the different
components of a process, how they interact,
influence and regulate each together.
 The systems approach with its focus on
interactions and interrelationship of the
components explains the behaviour of the system.
Closed System
 In a physicist’s model of the solar system, of an atom,
it is assumed that all masses, forces etc. that affect
the system are included in the model.
 This makes it possible to calculate future states with
perfect accuracy, since all necessary information is
known.
Open System
 Take out a living organism from its surroundings: it will die
because of lack of oxygen, water and food.
 Organisms are open systems: they need to continuously
exchange matter and energy with their environment to
survive.
 Open systems interact with other systems outside of
themselves.
 This interaction has three components:
 Input- Output (what enters the system from the
outside, and what leaves the system for the
environment).
 Transformation/ metabolism / throughput
 Assimilation / storage / growth
 When we look more closely at the environment of a
system, we see that it too consists of systems
interacting with their environments.
 For example, the environment of a cell: ECF/ other
cells / tissues
 If we now consider a collection of such systems which
interact with each other, that collection could again
be seen as a system.
http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/SYSAPPR.html
 If these parts did not interact, the whole would not
be more than the sum of its components.
 But because they interact, something more is added.
 With respect to the whole the parts are seen as
subsystems.
 With respect to the parts, the whole is seen as a
super-system.
http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/SYSAPPR.html
 If we look at the super-system as a whole, we don't
need to be aware of all its parts.
 We can again just look at its total input and total output
without worrying which part of the input goes to which
subsystem.
http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/SYSAPPR.html
 According to the reductionist approach, the low level view
is all you need.
 If you know the precise state of all the organs and cells in
the body, you should be able to understand how that body
functions.
 Classical medicine is based on this reductionist view.
Louridas GE, Lourida KG. Conceptual Foundations of Systems Biology
Explaining Complex Cardiac Diseases. Parthasarathy S, ed. Healthcare.
2017;5(1):10. doi:10.3390/healthcare5010010.
 The state of mind can affect the state of stomach
which in turn can affect the state of mind!
 These interactions are not simple, linear cause and
effect relations, but complex networks of
interdependencies, which can only be understood by
their common purpose: maintaining the organism in
good health.
 Homeostasis versus Homeodynamics
Ahn AC, Tewari M, Poon C-S, Phillips RS. The Limits of Reductionism in Medicine: Could Systems
Biology Offer an Alternative? PLoS Medicine. 2006;3(6):e208. doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.0030208.
 Reductionist community goes to the extreme and views
‘consciousness’ and ‘mental state’ as chemical reactions that
occur in the brain.
 They focus on the disease rather than the state of the person
contributing to the disease.
Ahn AC, Tewari M, Poon C-S, Phillips RS. The Limits of Reductionism in
Medicine: Could Systems Biology Offer an Alternative? PLoS Medicine.
2006;3(6):e208. doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.0030208.
 They look for ‘one risk factor-one disease’ because of
their inability to work with multiple factor and
comprehend their collective influences.
Ahn AC, Tewari M, Poon C-S, Phillips RS. The Limits of Reductionism in Medicine:
Could Systems Biology Offer an Alternative? PLoS Medicine. 2006;3(6):e208.
doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.0030208.
 In chronic diseases such as diabetes, coronary artery disease
the equation is non-linear with multiple factors.
 The multiple factors lead to complex interactions and thus
the conditions keep evolving.
 Therefore the systems approach is appropriate to
investigate the chronic conditions.

Systems Biology Offer an Alternative? PLoS Medicine. 2006;3(6):e208.

Black-box versus White Box Approach
Reductionism
 Ontological
 Methodological
Current approaches of Ayurveda research
 Adopting the reductionist research methods of
biomedicine
 Isolating single molecule from a herb and investigate its
pharmacological activities
 Clinical Trials are based on the reductionist thinking
 Whole system approach ?
 Individualization ?
 Network pharmacology?
Need for good clinical trials in Ayurveda:
 Double-blind randomized trials have been long regarded as
the gold standards that provide evidence regarding the
efficacy of any intervention, and hence, one cannot afford
to ignore this trend.
 When there are sufficient numbers of such double-blind
trials, there will be room for meta-analyses and systematic
reviews which will form the best possible evidence.
 However, when one considers Ayurveda interventions, it
becomes obvious that there are no good meta-analyses in
the literature because of a paucity of good clinical trials.
Recent attempts
 It is important to note that during the past few years there
have been a few sincere attempts at designing right kind of
Ayurveda clinical trials in a manner that is true to the
principles of Ayurveda.
 In one of these trials on rheumatoid arthritis, the autonomy
of a physician in the form of individualizing the complex
interventions was preserved.
Furst DE, Venkatraman MM, Krishna Swamy BG, McGann M, Booth-Laforce C, Ram Manohar P, Sarin R,
Mahapatra A, Krishna Kumar PR. Well controlled, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of classical
Ayurvedic treatment are possible in rheumatoid arthritis. Ann Rheum Dis. 2011 Feb;70(2):392-3.
doi:10.1136/ard.2010.136226. Epub 2010 Aug 24. PubMed PMID: 20736391.
 Because this study was published in one of the leading
journals of rheumatology, it was expected that many
such studies would be attempted at.
 However, it is strange to see that researchers have not
yet considered this as the right template for building up
evidence in favor of Ayurveda interventions.
Neuro-endocrine-immunology
 Recognising the interactions between neuro-endocrine
and immune mechanisms
 ‘The three great coordinating systems’ that maintain
homeostasis.
 Theory of Tridosha represents the basic ‘homeostatic
mechanisms’ as perceived in biomedicine.

Recent advances in Kriya Sharir (Ayurveda Physiology)

  • 1. Recent advances in Kriya Sharira patwardhan.kishor@gmail.com
  • 2. Systems Biology Neuro-endocrine-immunology Tissue engineering & Stem cell biology Chronobiology Gut Microbiota Pharmaco-genomics & Personalized medicine Extra-gustatory taste receptors
  • 4. Classical Thinking in science  Complex system can be understood by understanding its most fundamental constituent parts.  The complex problems are resolved by dividing them into smaller, simpler and more ‘manageable’ units.
  • 5. Reductionism  Physicists: Basic particles and forces  Chemists: Chemical bonds  Biologists: DNA sequences and molecular structures
  • 6. Biology  Reductionist biologists argue that investigating individual molecules will lead to an understanding of the complex life processes.
  • 7. “The ultimate aim of the modern movement in biology is in fact to explain all biology in terms of physics and chemistry.” - Francis Crick in his book “Of Molecules and Men” (1966)
  • 8. THE Problem  Can life be understood through this approach?  Can life be treated similar to machine?  What about the ability of living organisms to self- damage themselves and self-repair any damage?
  • 9. Elephant and the Blind People
  • 10. Ontology: Worldview  Reductionism (Analytical)  Synthesis (W)holistic
  • 11. Systems Approach  An organism is a complex system with dynamic relationship and interactions between the components leading to a behavioural system.  Systems biology is an in-depth investigation of individual biological components at a systems level to understand how a process, a cell, a group of cells, or an organism works as a whole.
  • 13. Systems Approach नहि ज्ञानावयवेन कृ त्स्ने ज्ञेये ववज्ञान्पत्सयतय।े Charaka Samhita, Vimana Sthana, 7/4 One cannot have the knowledge of the ‘whole’ simply by knowing its 'parts'.
  • 14.  This will help in understanding the interrelationship between the different components of a process, how they interact, influence and regulate each together.  The systems approach with its focus on interactions and interrelationship of the components explains the behaviour of the system.
  • 15. Closed System  In a physicist’s model of the solar system, of an atom, it is assumed that all masses, forces etc. that affect the system are included in the model.  This makes it possible to calculate future states with perfect accuracy, since all necessary information is known.
  • 16. Open System  Take out a living organism from its surroundings: it will die because of lack of oxygen, water and food.  Organisms are open systems: they need to continuously exchange matter and energy with their environment to survive.  Open systems interact with other systems outside of themselves.
  • 17.  This interaction has three components:  Input- Output (what enters the system from the outside, and what leaves the system for the environment).  Transformation/ metabolism / throughput  Assimilation / storage / growth
  • 18.  When we look more closely at the environment of a system, we see that it too consists of systems interacting with their environments.  For example, the environment of a cell: ECF/ other cells / tissues  If we now consider a collection of such systems which interact with each other, that collection could again be seen as a system. http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/SYSAPPR.html
  • 19.  If these parts did not interact, the whole would not be more than the sum of its components.  But because they interact, something more is added.  With respect to the whole the parts are seen as subsystems.  With respect to the parts, the whole is seen as a super-system. http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/SYSAPPR.html
  • 20.  If we look at the super-system as a whole, we don't need to be aware of all its parts.  We can again just look at its total input and total output without worrying which part of the input goes to which subsystem. http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/SYSAPPR.html
  • 21.  According to the reductionist approach, the low level view is all you need.  If you know the precise state of all the organs and cells in the body, you should be able to understand how that body functions.  Classical medicine is based on this reductionist view. Louridas GE, Lourida KG. Conceptual Foundations of Systems Biology Explaining Complex Cardiac Diseases. Parthasarathy S, ed. Healthcare. 2017;5(1):10. doi:10.3390/healthcare5010010.
  • 22.  The state of mind can affect the state of stomach which in turn can affect the state of mind!  These interactions are not simple, linear cause and effect relations, but complex networks of interdependencies, which can only be understood by their common purpose: maintaining the organism in good health.  Homeostasis versus Homeodynamics Ahn AC, Tewari M, Poon C-S, Phillips RS. The Limits of Reductionism in Medicine: Could Systems Biology Offer an Alternative? PLoS Medicine. 2006;3(6):e208. doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.0030208.
  • 23.  Reductionist community goes to the extreme and views ‘consciousness’ and ‘mental state’ as chemical reactions that occur in the brain.  They focus on the disease rather than the state of the person contributing to the disease. Ahn AC, Tewari M, Poon C-S, Phillips RS. The Limits of Reductionism in Medicine: Could Systems Biology Offer an Alternative? PLoS Medicine. 2006;3(6):e208. doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.0030208.
  • 24.  They look for ‘one risk factor-one disease’ because of their inability to work with multiple factor and comprehend their collective influences. Ahn AC, Tewari M, Poon C-S, Phillips RS. The Limits of Reductionism in Medicine: Could Systems Biology Offer an Alternative? PLoS Medicine. 2006;3(6):e208. doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.0030208.
  • 25.  In chronic diseases such as diabetes, coronary artery disease the equation is non-linear with multiple factors.  The multiple factors lead to complex interactions and thus the conditions keep evolving.  Therefore the systems approach is appropriate to investigate the chronic conditions. Ahn AC, Tewari M, Poon C-S, Phillips RS. The Limits of Reductionism in Medicine: Could Systems Biology Offer an Alternative? PLoS Medicine. 2006;3(6):e208. doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.0030208.
  • 28. Current approaches of Ayurveda research  Adopting the reductionist research methods of biomedicine  Isolating single molecule from a herb and investigate its pharmacological activities  Clinical Trials are based on the reductionist thinking  Whole system approach ?  Individualization ?  Network pharmacology?
  • 29. Need for good clinical trials in Ayurveda:  Double-blind randomized trials have been long regarded as the gold standards that provide evidence regarding the efficacy of any intervention, and hence, one cannot afford to ignore this trend.  When there are sufficient numbers of such double-blind trials, there will be room for meta-analyses and systematic reviews which will form the best possible evidence.  However, when one considers Ayurveda interventions, it becomes obvious that there are no good meta-analyses in the literature because of a paucity of good clinical trials.
  • 30. Recent attempts  It is important to note that during the past few years there have been a few sincere attempts at designing right kind of Ayurveda clinical trials in a manner that is true to the principles of Ayurveda.  In one of these trials on rheumatoid arthritis, the autonomy of a physician in the form of individualizing the complex interventions was preserved. Furst DE, Venkatraman MM, Krishna Swamy BG, McGann M, Booth-Laforce C, Ram Manohar P, Sarin R, Mahapatra A, Krishna Kumar PR. Well controlled, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of classical Ayurvedic treatment are possible in rheumatoid arthritis. Ann Rheum Dis. 2011 Feb;70(2):392-3. doi:10.1136/ard.2010.136226. Epub 2010 Aug 24. PubMed PMID: 20736391.
  • 31.  Because this study was published in one of the leading journals of rheumatology, it was expected that many such studies would be attempted at.  However, it is strange to see that researchers have not yet considered this as the right template for building up evidence in favor of Ayurveda interventions.
  • 32. Neuro-endocrine-immunology  Recognising the interactions between neuro-endocrine and immune mechanisms  ‘The three great coordinating systems’ that maintain homeostasis.  Theory of Tridosha represents the basic ‘homeostatic mechanisms’ as perceived in biomedicine.  Vata- Pitta-Kapha: NeuroEndocrine-Immune 32
