Mathematical theoretical system of yin-yang and five phases is composed of three axioms based on theories of yin-yang and five phases and several ten theorems deriving from these axioms. The three axioms is mathematical model of vital movement of human body in a sense of traditional Chinese medicine. Physiological formulas of yin-yang and five phases deriving from some theorems reveal the universal laws of physiological activities of human body. On the basis of these formulas,we can deduce disease before onset from with,and deduce the prescription on the bases of the principle of the yin-yang equilibrium of human body followed by the yin-yang equilibrium of five internal organs and six hollow organs,theory of channel tropism of traditional Chinese medicines and its impact with regard to yin-yang. Furthermore,we can develop application software of traditional Chinese medical science and realize modernization of determination of treatment based on pathogenesis obtained through differentiation of symptoms and signs,thereby traditional Chinese medical science go to the world.

The change and transformation of nature of disease and transmission of a disease are the two core issues of TCM pathology.Satisfactory explanation can be elicited separately from both axiom 1 and axiom 2,3 of mathematics of yinyang and five elements.The crux of the changes of nature of disease mainly lies in the size changes of the clarity of the leading property;but which of transmission of a disease depends on the sign changes of the clarity of the leading property.

Subacute and chronic cerebrovascular occlusion is an uncommon but an important cause for ischemic stroke.The main pathogenic mechanism is local hemodynamic disorder.Theoretically,the improvement of hemodynamic disorder can reduce the incidence of stroke as well as improve the prognosis.At present,there is still controversy over the optimal therapeutic plan.With the rapid development of interventional techniques,considerable progresses have been made in the endovascular treatment for subacute and chronic cerebrovascular occlusion,although some shortcomings still exist.This article aims to make a comprehensive review about the subacute and chronic cerebrovascular occlusion,focusing on its definition,damage,clinical status of its treatment,imaging evaluation,technical points of endovascular therapy,and procedure-related complications.

Objective: To observe the effect of acupuncture, tuina plus rehabilitative therapy on lower limb motor dysfunction in infants with spastic cerebral palsy.
Methods:A total of 60 infants with spastic cerebral palsy were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group by random digital table, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated with acupuncture, tuina therapy plus rehabilitative therapy of Western medicine. The control group was simply treated with rehabilitative therapy of Western medicine, as same as that for the treatment group. The assessment was respectively given to the sick infants before the treatment and after the treatment of six months, to evaluate lying and rolling scores in dimension A, to evaluate sitting score in dimension B, to evaluate crawling and kneeling scores in dimension C, and evaluate standing score in dimension D in the gross motor functions and determine the muscle tone of the gastrocnemius muscle by modified Ashworth scale (MAS).
Results:The differences were not statistically significant in comparison of the gross motor functions and the muscle tone of the gastrocnemius muscle between the two groups of sick infants before the treatment (P>0.05); after the treatment of six months, the above items were obviously improved in the two groups (P<0.01), better in the treatment group than in the control group, with the statistical significance in the differences between the groups (P<0.01).
Conclusion:Acupuncture, tuina plus rehabilitative therapy of Western medicine are remarkable in the therapeutic effects in the treatment of motor disorders of the lower limbs in the sick infants with spastic cerebral palsy. This therapeutic method is safe, simple and convenient and needs to be clinically popularized and applied.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus acupoint application in treating irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D).Method Sixty patients were randomized into two groups, 30 cases in each group. The acupuncture group was intervened by acupuncture at Neiguan (PC6), Zhongwan (CV12), and Zusanli (ST36), etc, plus application withBai Jie Zi(Semen Brassicae) powder at Qihai (CV6), Guanyuan (CV4), and Tianshu (ST25), etc; the medication group was prescribed with oral administration of Trimebutine maleate capsules (0.2 g each dose, 3 times a day). Four-week treatment was taken as a course. The symptoms score and quality of life (QOL) scale were evaluated prior to and after the treatment.Result The clinical symptoms were significantly improved in the acupuncture group, and the total effective rate was89.3%, significantly higher than 63.0% in the medication group (P<0.05). After 4-week treatment, the clinical symptoms scores of the two groups were analyzed by rank-sum test (Z=-19.627,P=0.000<0.05), revealing a significant difference between the two groups and indicating that the improvements of clinical symptoms in the acupuncture group were more significant than those in the medication group. After 4-week treatment, the general QOL scores of the two groups were examined by rank-sum test (Z=-10.039, P=0.000<0.05), revealing a significant difference between the two groups and indicating that the improvement of QOL in the acupuncture group was superior to that in the medication group.Conclusion Acupuncture plus acupoint application can obviously mitigateabdominal pain and discomfort.

Objective: To investigate the method of using tubular demineralized tubular bone matrix scaffold composited with marrow stromal osteoblasts to fabricate tissue-engineered bone in vivo. Methods: Marrow stromal cells were harvested from illiac bone of 5 New Zealand rabbits respectively. After being cultured and multiplied in vitro, marrow stromal cells were induced to differentiate to osteoblasts with dexamethasone. The induced cells were harvested and mixed with 1.5% alginate sodium solution to generate a cell suspension. The suspension was dropped into tubular demineralized bone (1～1.5 cm in length, 0.2～0.5 cm in diameter) and then gelled with 2.5% CaCl 2. The demineralized tubular bone matrix/osteoblasts composites were placed in the dorsum of the rabbit subcutaneously as autogenous cells transplantation. Samples were investigated 6 and 12 weeks after implantation with histological and roentgenographic examination. Results: Osteoid tissue and new bone were observed in 4 weeks. In 8 weeks, more new bone formation, cells lied in the lacunae and arranged in order were found.Conclusion: Demineralized tubular bone matrix can be used as scaffold for the marrow stromal osteoblasts and alginate which was employed as three dimension carrier for cell growing and producing extral cell matrix.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of combining acupuncture, Chinese medicine and rehabilitation training for subacute stroke. Methods:A total of 120 subacute stroke cases were randomly allocated into a treatment group (n=60) and a control group (n=60). Patients in the control group received standard rehabilitation therapy alone, whereas patients in the observation group received additional acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Before treatment, after 30-day and 60-day treatments, and 3 months after treatment, the neurologic deficit severity was evaluated using the National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS); the motor function was evaluated using the Fugl-Meyer assessment scale (FMA); the activities of daily living (ADL) was evaluated using the Barthel index (BI); and the changes of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptoms were evaluated according to TCM symptom scores. Results:After 30-day, 60-day treatments, and 3 months after treatment, the NIHSS, FMA, BI and TCM symptoms scores were statistically different from those before treatment in both groups (allP<0.05); and there were between-group statistical differences at same time points (allP<0.05). Conclusion:Combining acupuncture, Chinese medicine and rehabilitation training can improve neurologic deficit, motor function and ADL in subacute stroke patients and its efficacy is better than rehabilitation therapy alone.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture at affected-limb gallbladder meridian points and its effect on the recovery of lower limb function in treating hemiplegia patients with cerebral infarction. Methods Sixty hemiplegia patients with cerebral infarction were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 30 cases each. The treatment group received acupuncture at the gallbladder meridian points of the affected-side lower limb as main therapy and the control group, conventional acupuncture. After two courses of treatment, a pre-/post-treatment change in the Lower Extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment score was observed in the two groups and post-treatment walking paces, pace lengths and incidences of strephenopodia were compared between the two groups.Results There was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the Lower Extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment score in the two groups (P<0.01). There was a statistically significant post-treatment difference in the Lower Extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment score between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in walking pace, pace length and the incidence of strephenopodia between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture at affected-limb gallbladder meridian points can improve lower limb function and reduce the incidence of strephenopodia in hemiplegia patients with cerebral infarction.

Objective To investigate the clinical therapeutic effect of acupuncture on pulmonary infection after acute cerebral infarction.Methods Seventy patients with pulmonary infection after acute cerebral infarction were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 35 cases each. The control group received routine medication and the treatment group, acupuncture in addition. Pre-treatment and post-treatment National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores and clinical pulmonary infection scores (CPIS) were compared between the two groups. The correlation between the NIHSS score and the CPIS score was observed.Results There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in the NIHSS score and the CPIS score in the two groups (P<0.05,P<0.01). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in the NIHSS score and the CPIS score between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05). The correlation between the NIHSS score and the CPIS score was low in the treatment group after treatment (r=0.417,P<0.05).Conclusions Acupuncture plus medication is an effective way to treat pulmonary infection after acute cerebral infarction. It can improve the NIHSS score and the CPIS score in the patients.
