生物医学工程:一个发展迅速值得关注的交叉学科——生物力学、组织工程学、生物材料与人工器官

生物医学工程学（Biomedical Engineering，BME）是包含多种技术并相互交叉融合的一门科学。它综合了生物学、医学与工程学的理论和方法，研究生命体的构造、功能、状态和变化，研究新材料、新技术、新仪器设备，用于防病、治病、保护人民健康和提高医学水平。涉及科学领域广泛，除生物学、医学外，还有电子学、微电子学、现代计算机技术、化学、高分子化学、力学、近代物理学、光学、射线学、精密机械和近代高技术，并在不断发展扩大，是各国争相大力发展的高技术之一。本文主要从生物力学、组织工程学、生物材料与人工器官等方面进行探讨。

BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING-- A FAST DEVELOPING AND NOTICEABLE DISCIPLINE BIOMECHANICS, TISSUE ENGINEERING, BIOMATERIALS AND ARTIFICIAL ORGANS

Biomedical Engineering(BME) is a multidisciplinary combining knowledge. It combines engineering with the theories and methods of biological and medical sciences, to study the structure, function, state and change of life; to create new materials, new instruments and devices, and also to develop, new technology, for the purpose of preventing from and controlling diseases, protecting the public health and improving medicine. Beside biology and medicine, it covers the scientific field of electronics, microelectronics, modern computer science, chemistry, macromolecule chemistry, mechanics, ,neoteric physics, optics, radiology, exact instruments and neoteric high technology, its field becomes extensive, and still develops and spreads. It is the one of the high technologies all countries strive for developing. In this part we mainly discuss about biomechanics, tissue engineering, biomaterials and artificial organs.
