Exercise is one of the important techniques of cardiovascular rehabilitation. Exercise can reduce inflammatory response to improve endothelial function, and improve mitochondrial function to increase myocardial cell activity. For cardiovascular risk factors, exer-cise can promote the activity of lipoprotein, increase the level of high-density lipoprotein;improve the function of insulin receptor to reduce insulin resistance, reduce platelet aggregation and improve endothelial function to reduce blood pressure. For the respiratory system, aerobic exercise can improve the function of respiratory muscle, thus relieve the dyspnea. Exercise can promote the activation of immune factor and increase metabolism, to increase immune function and anti-aging. Resistance exercise can improve mitochondrial function and promote fi-ber type conversion, to improve the function of skeletal muscle system.

Egypt’s medical insurance is mainly covered by government and commercial insurance. The low coverage of commercial insurance and the quality of medical services needs more improvement in Egypt. Recently, the incidence rate of diabetes, chronic kidney disease, hypertensive heart disease, COPD and liver cancer is rising. Traditional Egyptian medicine is similar to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and its modern traditional medicine is mainly Arabian medicine. Acupuncture, as the main form of TCM, was introduced into Egypt in the 1970s, but it has not been covered by the medical insurance system. The development of TCM in Egypt needs improvement. It is suggested that further explorated fields should be focused on the acupuncture therapy, TCM education and TCM treatment of keeping health in Egypt.

The popularization of medical insurance in Panama has been basically completed. The coverage of health insurance is high, but with the problem of polarization. The major causes of death in Panama are is chemic heart disease, stroke, AD and diabetes. In recent years, the chronic kidney disease and COPD are increasing significantly. Panamanian native medicine, considered as complementary and alternative medicine, is recognized by local laws and usedby most of indigenous groups and rural people. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Panama is at the starting stage, and there is no relevant legislation. However, this country attaches great importance to indigenous traditional medicine, and more and more people gradually accept it. TCM has great development potential in this country. It is suggested to promote the development of TCM in Panama. By culture as the pathway, exploring various forms of cooperation and exchange, taking the research and development of traditional herbal medicine as the breakthrough point, and increasing the spead of acupuncture usage, etc.

Coronary microcirculation disorder after myocardial ischemia reperfusion (MIR) is a prominent problem in the treatment of coronary heart disease. According to the physiological commonality between “collaterals-sweat pore qi and fluid” and coronary microcirculation, and the evolution of the course of MIR, it is believed that “heart collateral stasis obstruction, sweat pore constraint and block” is the cause of coronary microcirculation disorder. The evolution of the pathogenesis can be divided into three periods. During the myocardial ischemia period, the pathogenesis is heart collaterals obstruction and sweat pores empty, while during the ischemia reperfusion period, it is internal formulation of deficiency wind, spasms of collaterals or slight heart collaterals obstruction; in the coronary microcirculation disorder period, sweat pores constraint and block, constraint transforming into heat, qi and fluid failing to diffuse are the pathogenesis. The corresponding treatment principle is assisting dredge with supplementation, and supplementing deficiency to dispel stasis; treating wind and blood simultaneously, and extinguishing wind to arrest convulsion; clearing heat and cooling blood, and diffusing qi and unblocking qi and fluid. Moreover, it is recommended to treat the heart and lungs simultaneously, and regulate the heart and liver at the same time.
