A great deal of research work about acupuncture in terms of modern medicine has been done in China. The initial investigation about the mechanism of the clinical effect of acupuncture in the fifties, the extensive clinical practice with acupuncture in the mid-sixties, and the large scale of experimental studies on animal models about acupuncture in the seventies, especially the nineties, which have all provided many new progresses. And the following is an overview of the achievements of these research work.

Thirty-five patients of infantile purpura nephritis (IPN) were treated with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine (TCM-WM) from January 1994 to December 1998, with good efficacy obtained, and following is the report.METHODSClinical Data　　All the 65 cases were inpatients, and conformed to the “Standards of the Diagnosis and Therapeutical Effect of Hematological Diseases” (edited by ZHANG Zhi-nan. Tianjin: Tianjin Science and Technology Press, 1999∶235-239). They were randomly divided into two groups: Treated group: 35 cases, 23 males, 12 females; aged 4-13 years, 7 years on average; disease course 4-18 days, the mean 10 days; mild type 19 cases (asymptomatic hematuria, proteinuria), nephritis syndrome type 13 cases (hematuria, proteinuria, edema, hypertension), and nephrotic syndrome type 3 cases (typical manifestation of nephrosis complicated with renal insufficiency). Control group: 30 cases, 20 males, 10 females; aged 3-14 years, 6 years on average; disease course 3-16 days, the mean 9 days; mild type 16 cases, nephritis syndrome type 10 cases, nephrotic syndrome type 4 cases. The clinical manifestation, sex, age, hospitalisation time of these 2 groups showed insignificant difference.Method of Treatment　　The control group: Adopting intravenous dripping of dexamethasone 0.3-0.5 mg*kg-1*d-1, consecutively for 5-7 days, which was then shifted to prednisone 1-1.5 mg*kg-1*d-1, altogether 2-3 weeks, with Vit C, persantin, chlorphenamine, calcium, etc., orally taken.　　The treated (TCM-WM) group, on the basis of the above-mentioned WM treatment, had also TCM syndrome differentiation performed, and were classified into 3 types:

Treat disease before it arises (治未病) ［zhi wei bing］: A preventive perspective in clinical medicine, mainly including two pointspreventive treatment of disease, and early treatment for prevention of complications. Therefore, it is said that a good doctor treats disease before it arises.　　Treat according to time, place and person. (因时, 因地, 因人制宜) (因时, 因地, 因人制宜) ［yin shi, yin di, yin ren zhi yi］: One of the therapeutic principles referring to the application of different treatment in accordance with climatic and seasonal conditions, geographical localities, and the patient's constitution.　　Supporting the normal and dispelling the evil (扶正祛邪) ［fu zheng qu xie］: two general principles of treatment which can be applied separately or in combination according to the patient's condition. They are closely correlated, as supporting the normal, i.e., strengthening the body resistance, facilitates the elimination of pathogenic factors, and dispelling the evil, i.e., eliminating the pathogens, promotes the restoration of normal Qi.　　Routine treatment (正治) ［zheng zhi］: use of medicines opposite in nature to the disease, e.g., to treat heat syndrome with medicines cold or cool in nature, also known as counteracting treatment (逆治) ［ni zhi］. This is applied in most cases, such as to treat excess with purgation or reduction (实则泻之) (实则泻之) ［shi ze xie zhi］, to treat deficiency with tonification or reinforcement (虚则补之) (虚则补之) ［xu ze bu zhi］, to treat cold with the hot (寒者热之) (寒者热之) ［han zhe re zhi］, and to treat heat with the cold (热者寒之) (热者寒之) ［re zhe han zhi］.

Psoriasis is a kind of refractory disease, though it is less serious than cancer. The etiology is not clear, the morbidity is high, and it cannot be radically cured. It is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. Since 1980, the authors have studied the pathogenic mechanisms of psoriasis from aspects of pathology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and immunology. It was proved that abnormalities in biochemical components, neural media, immunological state and cell metabolism existed in psoriatic cases. We have published more than ten articles, and formulated two anti-psoriasis drugs, which is reported as follows:　　1. The levels of serum zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium, iron, selenium, ceruloplasmin, vitamin A and vitamin E in 138 psoriatic patients were measured by atomic absorption spectrometry. The results showed that serum copper level in the progressive and stable stage was decreased significantly (P<0.01). The levels of serum calcium and vitamin E lowered too. The levels of serum ceruloplasmin,　selenium and iron were considerably higher in psoriatic than those in the normal control. This is an evidence that there are biochemical abnormalities in the internal environment of psoriatic patients.
