ABSTRACT
Borrowing the open system interconnection (OSI) model of internet protocol and the 5W theory in communication studies, the links in the international communication of acupuncture-moxibustion can be classified into seven layers: physical layer, data link layer, network layer, transport layer, session layer, presentation layer and application layer, therefore it is built an OSI model of international communication system of acupuncture-moxibustion. It is pointed out that present international communication system of acupuncture-moxibustion is similar to the user datagram protocol (UDP) in internet technology. Evidence-based medicine (EBM) plays a key role to modernize acupuncture- moxibustion theory based upon its clinical effects. According to phenomenon-taking by classified analogy, it is found that the PICO model of EBM agrees pretty well with the "three-way handshakes" mechanism of the internet transmission control protocol (TCP), which is promising to construct an international discourse of acupuncture-moxibustion compatible with western medicine. Thus it will benefit to explore the scientific connotation of acupuncture-moxibustion theory and significantly improve the international prestige of acupuncture-moxibustion.

Objective To realize remote wireless data transmission in mobile monitoring terminal of pre-hospital first aid so as to enhance the effect of pre-hospital aid,guarantee the reliability and real-time state of data transmission in mobile monitoring terminal of pre-hospital first aid.Methods The software and hardware of the mobile monitoring terminal of pre-hospital first aid were designed.Then,according to the specialty of the data transmission and requirements of the bandwidth,the choice of wireless network and the transport layer protocol of data transmission were analyzed,and the technology approach fitting for the system were proposed.The protocols selected were PPP and TCP/IP based on ?C/OS-Ⅱ.Results Application tests showed that this approach could satisfy system's requirement.It could transmit patient's vital signs parameters to hospital's monitoring equipment exactly in real-time during pre-hospital first aid.Conclusion This design creates the condition for remote hospital guide,resources planning of patient's admission and analysis of illness state,which is feasible for application.
