Mechanism based medicine (MBM) is the new medical mode proposed by the author. Relevant concepts of MBM were described in this paper, such as essential mechanism, analysis of MBM, experiments of MBM,clinics of MBM, and diagram of MBM, thus helping readers to understand this new mode.

The purpose of establishing an evidence-based clinical pathway is to standardize the clinical practice, improve the quality of health care and cure patients' illness. Since the core of evidence-based medicine (EBM) lies in implementing the current best available evidence of clinical research to direct the decision making in clinical practice, evidence obtained from research should be kept to either in formulating a clinical practice guideline or establishing a clinical pathway. The EBM method for establishing clinical pathway was introduced in this paper, including setting up a compilation team, raising clinical relevant problems, searching and critically appraising available evidence, and incorporating them into the process of clinical pathway establishment, expecting to provide methodological guidance for establishing TCM clinical pathway in future.

The author offered in this paper that in developing the guidelines for Chinese and integrated medical clinical therapy, the specialties of Chinese medicine and clinical needs should be considered, and put stress on the following key points: (1) give priorities to the diseases on which plentiful evidences and practical experiences have been achieved in researches; (2) set up the clinical issues of diseases from an integral view, with Chinese medicine syndromes subordinated to diseases; (3) in making choice of clinical questions, problems that clinicians and researchers concerned should be taken in to consideration; (4) adopt the concepts and methods of complex intervention and reflect prominently the preponderant holistic thinking of Chinese medicine; (5) intensify the cognition-centered basic research of Chinese medicine through combining "disease diagnosis" and "syndrome differentiation" to acquaint the rules of disease/syndrome transformation from the integral dynamic views; (6) use the guidance establishing process of Western medicine as reference to collect, identify, review and classify the evidences from modern literature, while for those from ancient literature, the content analyzing method should be followed; (7) make the contents of design methods perfect and put emphasis on the control and guarantee of quality.
