Based on the typical cases from Case Records as a Guide to Clinical Practice （《临证指南医案》） where YE Tianshi applied the "morning and evening differential treatment"， the main types are summarized as follows. When there is middle-lower interlocking injury， and yin deficiency with wind stirring， the method of restraining and consolidating in the morning can be used to restrict jueyang （厥阳）. For deficiency of the extraordinary vessels and heart-spleen ying （营） impairment， the method of consolidating should be used to raise yang in the morning， while the method of moistening and nourishing ying-yin in the evening is used. For lower jiao （焦） depletion with phlegm turbidity obstructing the orifices， it is recommended to tonify lower jiao in the morning and fortify spleen and dissolve phlegm in the evening. If there is kidney-yin depletion with dampness obstructing the qi， it is suggested to supplement kidney and improve qi reception in the morning， while purify upper jiao in the evening. For deficiency and impairment of the collateral vessels， the method of moistening and nourishing ying-yin in the evening can be used. For heart-spleen qi knot， it is recommended to dissolve phlegm and dispel stasis in the evening. In clinical practice， the same medicinal formula can be used with different methods which change according to the syndrome. Taking Sishen Pills （四神丸） and Yuhu Elixir （玉壶丹） as examples， employing different methods in accordance with the primary and secondary pathomechanisms can help transform complex， multiple pathomechanisms into organized treatment steps， providing ideas for managing complicated syndromes with modern Chinese medicine in clinical practice.

This is a retrospective study of 103 cases of early gastric cancer undergoing surgery during the years of 1974-1988 with a special discussion on surgical treatment.The lesions were localized to the mu-cosal layer in 54.3%,to submucosal layer in 45.7%,In 10% of patients there was lymphnode metastasis,all of them were in the first station.Operation consisted of radical subtotal gastrectomy in 94.2%.and total gastrectomy in 5.8%.The extent of lymphatic excision was:Ro in 12.6%,R1 in 61.2% and R2 in 26.2% Postoperative chemotherapy was given in 61.2%.However no statistical difference of 5 years survival rate was found in respect to the extent of lymphatic excision as well as postoperative chemotherapy.Since 60.2% of EGC lesions were of minute,multiple and plane type,preoperattve en-doscopy and intraoperative biopsy of gastric mucosa,if necessary,should be carefully done to ascertain that no lesion was overlooked in the remnant of the stomach.Follow-up rate was 96%,and the survival rates of 3 and 5 years were 97% and 93.7%.This makes the authors believe that a radical operation of R1 is justified and routine postoperative chemotherapy is unnecessary.
