Some Novel Viewpoints on Physiology and Pathology of TCM Sphygmology

In Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM),pulse manifestation are an essential method for clinicians to make accurate diagnosis while researches on pulse manifestation are also an important direction for the modernization of TCM.According to the viewpoints of TCM,the abnormality of qi,xue,yin and yang will lead to some alterations of pulse manifestations while by detecting these alterations of pulse manifestation,TCM researchers can not only conclude the abnormality of the qi,xue,yin and yang in the patients,make exact diagnose in TCM but also afford the just therapies.Our past researches had abstracted all metabolisms in our body into to pathways:energy metabolism which should be regarded as yang and stem cell proliferation&differentiation(SCPD)which should be regarded as yin.These two pathways support the metabolisms of local tissue and organs while arteries play vital roles for transportation of energy agents and stem cells to local tissue and organs.By detecting the alterations of pulse manifestations,clinician can conclude the alterations of energy metabolism and SCPD in body.Moreover,many novel parameters should be taken into consideration for describing the pulse manifestations and uncovering the physiology and pathology of pulse manifestations.
