摘要

中国生理学会成立于1926年，是我国生命科学领域历史悠久、影响深远的全国性学术组织。百年来，学会的发展始终与国家命运、科学事业和人民健康需求同频共振。本文依据学会百年史料，从初创奠基、组织重建、恢复振兴、国际化拓展和新时代治理创新等方面，系统梳理中国生理学会的发展历程。1926 年至1949 年，学会以北京协和医学院等机构为依托，建立年会制度，创办《中国生理学杂志》，推动中国现代生理学进入有组织、有章程、有平台的发展阶段；1949 年至1977 年，学会在新中国科学教育体系建设中恢复组织联系，扩展为中国生理科学会，推动多分支学科体系形成；改革开放以来，学会恢复全国性学术交流和期刊出版，重新凝聚学术共同体，并逐步加强人才培养、国际交流、教育教学和学科战略研究；进入新时代，学会通过党委建设、监事会制度、专业委员会优化、数字化办公和国际会议平台等建设，推动传统学术团体向现代化、规范化、国际化科技社团转型。百年发展表明，坚持学术本位、服务国家需求、重视人才培养、弘扬科学家精神和推进开放合作，是中国生理学会持续发展的重要经验，并共同塑造了以“求实、创新、协作、奉献”为核心的学会文化。

Abstract

The Chinese Association for Physiological Sciences (CAPS), founded in 1926, is one of the earliest and most influential national academic organizations in the field of biological sciences in China. Over the past century, the development of CAPS has been closely linked with the modernization of medical education, the growth of experimental life sciences, national scientific reconstruction, and the increasing demand for public health. Based on historical materials prepared for the centennial of CAPS, this article reviews the major stages of its development, including its foundation and institutional establishment, post-1949 reorganization and disciplinary expansion, revival after the reform and opening-up, internationalization in the new century, and modernization of governance in the new era. From 1926 to 1949, CAPS established an academic community through annual meetings, membership development, and the founding of the Chinese Journal of Physiology, providing an important platform for Chinese physiological research to communicate with the international scientific community. From 1949 to 1977, the society restored its organizational network and expanded into the Chinese Association for Physiological Sciences, reflecting the broader formation of physiology-related disciplines in the new national scientific and educational system. Since 1978, CAPS has resumed national academic conferences and journal publication, strengthened talent cultivation, teaching reform, disciplinary planning, and international cooperation, and gradually transformed from a meeting-oriented society into a comprehensive academic organization. In the new era, the establishment of Party committee, a board of supervisors, improved professional committee management, digital office systems, and international conferences has further promoted standardized, modernized, and internationalized governance. The century-long history of CAPS shows that academic excellence, service to national needs, talent development, the inheritance of scientific spirit, and open collaboration constitute the key experience for the sustainable development of a scientific society and have together shaped an organizational culture characterized by rigor, innovation, collaboration, and dedication.
