This paper introduces Professor LIU Zhibin 's clinical experience in the treatment of subjective tinnitus with acupuncture based on the "kidney-bone-brain" axis. Professor LIU proposes that the disease is most closely related to the kidney and brain. The lesion is located in the brain, and the pathogenesis is kidney essence deficiency, marrow sea loss, and ear orifice dystrophy. The "kidney-bone-brain" shows close correlation in physiological function, pathological changes and treatment. According to the "kidney-bone-brain" axis, Professor LIU proposes that the treatment of subjective tinnitus should be tonifying kidney qi, tonifying essence and filling marrow, and the principle of local acupoint selection, touching bone acupuncture, matching distal acupoints and proximal acupoints, tonifying kidney and benefiting brain should be adopted. The acupoints of Tinggong (SI19) and Yifeng (TE17) are selected to be treated with touching bone acupuncture, combined with Taixi (KI3), Shenshu (BL23), Baihui (GV20) and Shenting (GV24), so as to achieve common benefit of kidney, bone and brain, and multi-angle treatment.

The paper introduces Professor LIU Zhibin's clinical experience in treatment of Parkinson's disease with constipation by the combined therapy of acupuncture and tuina. Professor LIU believes that constipation in Parkinson's disease involves pathological changes in sanjiao (triple energizers) system, i.e. upper, middle, and lower jiao, and proposes Tiaoshen Tongfu (regulating the mind and fu organs) acupuncture and Chang'an Liu's tuina manipulation are used to treat Parkinson's disease with constipation based on the "sanjiao theory". In acupuncture, the scalp points of the anterior hairline micro-acupuncture system (Touxue, Shangjiao, Zhongjiao and Xiajiao) are selected, complemented by Baihui (GV20), Hegu (LI4), Taichong (LR3), Quchi (LI11), Tianshu (ST25), Dachangshu (BL25), Shangjuxu (ST37) and Zhigou (TE6). In tuina manipulation, one finger pushing, rolling and pressing are adopted.
