ABSTRACT
Asymptomatic spleen-stomach diseases refer to diseases without related symptoms and signs of abdo-minal pain， bloating， diarrhea an others in patients， but showing lesions or pathological changes discovered by modern medical techniques such as endoscopy， CT， MRI. The four examination techniques of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） are based on symptoms and signs of patients， which are the advantage of TCM but also have certain limitations. In the context of the increasingly modernized diagnosis and treatment in TCM， it is proposed to expand the application of the four examination techniques from three aspects including microcosmic syndrome differentiation， data sharing， and artificial intelligence in asymptomatic spleen-stomach diseases， in order to achieve the goals of dynamically observing the disease process， collecting disease data in multiple dimensions， and intelligently processing disease data. This will strengthen the modern requirements of early diagnosis and treatment in TCM， and highlight the advantages of TCM in “treating disease before it arises and treating the symptoms beforehand”.
ABSTRACT
Achievements of the 30-year research work on Pi-Wei Doctrine were summarized. They are: (1) ratio of salivin activity and excretion rate of D-xylose in patients with spleen deficiency are different from those in the normal subjects;(2) the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment is embodied in the methodology of herbal medicine pharmacology for complex prescription; (3) the above findings are further confirmed by the research in molecular and cellular level which indicates that TCM syndromes and pharmacological mechanisms of herbal medicines have their material basis and the regulatory effect of complex prescription on TCM syndromes is actually the pharmacological mechanism of herbal medicines. It is suggested that the research of herbal medicine should be based on the guidance of traditional Chinese medicinal theory and carried out in clinical practice.
