In 1811, French professor H.Braconnot first isolated from chitin, he used dilute alkali treatment mushroom warm, get some fibrous residue, he thought it was cellulose, and named Fungine, meaning fungal cellulose. 12 years later in 1823, a French scientist A.Odier isolated from the same material from insect elytra, named Chitin, that is, the meaning of the envelope armor. In 1859, the French C.Rouget first isolated chitosan, named Chitosan. Chitin has been slow to develop since the discovery of chitin in the 1.5 century. In the second half of the twentieth Century, organic chemistry was born and developed with the study of macromolecules such as cellulose, proteins, chitin and other sugars. The focus of chitin has shifted from Europe to japan. In 1977, Professor Muzzarelli initiated and hosted the first International Conference on chitin and chitosan in China, which will be held every 2 years. At the 1991 meeting, the United States, Europe and the medical science and technology, nutrition, food research institutions as its sixth elements. Our country began to study in 1952. The 1990s was the heyday of the study. In 1997, the research and development program was included in the national science and Technology Commissions 95 major research program, belonging to the 863 plan. Enzymatic hydrolysis of chitosan oligosaccharides was carried out before and after 2000. In recent years, our researchers have made a thorough study of chitin and its derivatives, providing a lot of valuable information, showing its broad application prospects. In this paper, the application of chitin in medicine is briefly introduced, in order to facilitate the exploitation and utilization of this resource. The biol
