ABSTRACT
Treatise on Febrile Diseases is one of the greatest classics in traditional Chinese medicine. Currently, so many key scientific problems including unclear connotation of the original, dosage of Chinese herbal medicine, and the essence of the six meridians were identified. On the basis of years of clinical experience in critical care medicine, it was advocated that the connotation of Treatise on Febrile Diseases should be explored from the perspective of critical care medicine and integrative medicine. It was identified that, the traditional study from the perspective of pathogenesis and textual research couldn't meet the current clinical needs due to its repeated deduction and circular argument in conceptual terms and unclear diagnosis and prognosis of modern diseases. The concept of exogenous febrile disease is the narrow sense, the essence of which may be acute febrile infectious diseases. Treatise on Febrile Diseases is a monographs for critical care medicine. The clinical manifestation of so many critical care medicine can be identified in Treatise on Febrile Diseases. The distinction standard of Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Synopsis of Golden Chamber is not external injury but contagious disease.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Sheng's six-meridian diagnosis and treatment-based acupuncture in treating cervical spondylotic arteriopathy.Method Seventy patients with cervical spondylotic arteriopathy were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 35 cases each. The treatment group received Sheng's six-meridian diagnosis and treatment-based acupuncture and the control group, conventional acupuncture. Doppler-detected vertebral artery blood flow velocity was measured, and the clinical symptom and sign score and the cervical vertigo symptom and functional assessment scale score were recorded in the two groups before and after treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups.Result The total efficacy rate was 85.7% in the treatment group and 62.9% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in Doppler-detected vertebral artery blood flow velocity, the clinical symptom and sign score and the cervical vertigo symptom and functional assessment scale score in the two groups (P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion Sheng's six-meridian diagnosis and treatment-based acupuncture is an effective way to treat cervical spondylotic arteriopathy.
