Abstract:
Acupuncture meridian system theory is none of the main features of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
The meridians are thought to be the pathways for qi (or bioenergy), which then circulates throughout the human body.
They originate in the internal organs and from there travel up to the skin. Bilaterally opposite, symmetric acupunctures along the main meridians
(called Great Acupuncture) and along the branching meridians (called opposite insertion) are two traditional methods of acupuncture commonly used in clinics.
Symmetric acupoints are punctured opposite to the diseased or affected side. This article discusses the authors' work in which they used 80 healthy subjects
to study the symmetry or preferred direction of electrical conduction of human meridians.
The data were then analyzed by paired-t and ANOVA testing procedures

Abstract:
The pulse has long been used as a fundamental tool for diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine. It is generally classified dichotomously as fast or slow,
tense or tender, floating or sinking, large or small, empty or full, etc., with each term reflecting a personal constituent or condition of the body.
Diagnosis by traditional pulse analysis requires long experience and a high level of skill, and interpretation is subjective, depending on the practitioner.
Thus, it would be of great significance to develop a quantitative and systematic measurement scheme to establish an objective diagnostic system
for classifying the pulse, which could be used in the practice of traditional Chinese medicine. Here, the authors propose a new quantification scheme
of specific pulse characteristics. These characteristics are determined using the pressure-adjusting pulse detector the authors previously developed.
This device regulates contact pressure of a sensor (transducer) on the skin over a pulse point by varying the number of weights applied.
The weights, 20 g copper disks, 0.5 sq cm, are increased incrementally.
The pulse amplitude (as a voltage) is measured by the pressure sensor incorporated into the device.
Thus, there is a variable steady-state pressure applied to the pulse point by a sensor,
which results in a pulse signal with maximum amplitude dependent on the applied pressure. Advantages of a quantified measurement scheme
include a scientific and statistical analysis of pulse data, a more accurate and precise observation of the pulse,
and construction of a biophysical model by equations developed from the data.
The authors confined their scope here to the introduction of the new quantification method,
which they hope to apply for diagnostic purposes in the near future.

Abstract:
The feeling of chi may be realized when one is in an extremely peaceful mind state. According to the chikong literature and field surveys,
the best time to sense the feeling of chi is between 1 and 5 am. As a part of an extensive investigation of chikong, geophysicists in Taiwan
looked for a method to interpret the geomagnetic effect on the time-selecting concept.
In this article, we propose the application of a time-domain archaeological method to this problem.
We study the geomagnetic effect by investigating time-selecting behaviour through ancient literature and recent data combined
with a field survey of geomagnetic time variation

Abstract:
Through the power of suggestion, human beings have accumulated in their subconscious minds disharmonies that are incongruent
with the purpose of a meaningful and happy life. The more severe cases show up as either physical or emotional disease, or both.
These incongruencies on the energetic level are known in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as energetic imbalances.
The imbalance is always there first, before its material manifestation.
Through the Five Elements Tonal System (FETS, a medical/musical model resulting in a musical composition that addresses a patient's complaint)
balance is introduced in order to reset the harmonic pattern. This reset is accomplished via the FETS musical composition,
which is applied to the patient in a relaxed state through either live or recorded performance.
FETS is based on the five elements of TCM (Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, and Fire).
Other disciplines such as mathematics, systems, kinesiology, and hypnotherapy figure prominently in the development and application of the FETS,
but their emphasis shall remain minor, while still playing very important supporting roles.
This article presents the development process of the FETS model and a case study where not only application is established, but also diagnosis

Blood tests and ultrasound scanning are the standard techniques for the diagnosis of liver problems.
However, there is no easy assessment of how liver problems affect other parts of the body,
such as the spleen, stomach, lung, and gallbladder. Traditional Chinese medicine makes use of pulse analysis to diagnose such conditions.
Here, the authors study the pulse spectrum of patients with liver problems, with the goal of using this technique to analyze related conditions

Abstract:
In the development of a medical expert system, the choice of algorithms is an important consideration. According to 1979 statistics,
some 60% of medical expert systems were based on the Bayes method, 30% were based on a linear discriminant function,
matching handle and criterion tree, and 10% were based on other algorithms. Overall diagnostic accuracy rates were generally about 90%.
Although the Bayes method has been used very widely, it has some limitations. Its two assumptions are difficult to satisfy in computer-assisted
diagnostic systems, and it does not do well in solving the contradiction between the low frequency of a disease manifestation
and the high specificity of the manifestation. A weighted summation method can better solve this problem,
since the diagnostic value can be adjusted according to the real importance of each item of diagnostic information.
The weighted summation method has been widely used in the development of many medical expert systems,
such as the earliest expert system of traditional Chinese medicine:
“The Computer Program for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Liver Disease Based on the Principle of Dialectical Treatment”.
It is concluded that the algebraic sum method is an efficient, simple, and convenient mathematical model for the development of medical expert systems

Abstract:
The organ-meridian relationship is investigated. The acupuncture and meridian system of traditional Chinese medicine is an important,
real biophysical aspect of the living body. With the electrodermal screening device (EDSD), it is possible to define, both quantitatively and qualitatively,
much of the meridian system. The meridian system is essential to most or possibly all bodily functions. The EDSD, which reads meridian information,
is capable of delivering valuable information on nearly every facet of body function.
The EDST could serve as the standard “ruler” by which biological energy is measured, similar to body temperature and blood pressure.
In other words, it is conceivable that someday the EDSD will be as commonplace as the thermometer and sphygmomanometer.
The EDSD is non-invasive and economical. With its further refinement and acceptance, along with that of the associated testing methodology (EDST)
and health management system (EDSS), it may be possible to chart even the higher functions, including emotional, cognitive, and psychosomatic.
The EDST has the potential of developing into a truly complete test of the body, making possible levels of international medical standardization
and meta-analysis unknown today. The device, test, and system may prove to be the greatest set of tools against disease created this century.
But now what is needed is much more research. It is the authors' sincere hope that many others in the medical-scientific community will see the EDST's
potential and initiate further research projects

Abstract:
In 1978 the Chinese Institute of Electronics asked Dr Qin to organise the Chinese Biomedical Engineering Society.
Looking back on 14 years of the Society's history, 13 conferences have been held, and more than 600 technical papers presented.
Student paper competitions stimulated students and young investigators to attend the conference and join the Society.
The authors also discuss formal BME education including accreditation and curricula.
The universities which have BME programs can be mainly classified into two categories: (1) universities of science and engineering,
(2) universities of medical science. The curricula can also be divided into: (1) engineering oriented, and (2) clinically oriented.
Most engineering oriented curricula are based on electronic engineering around a central task of instrumentation design.
Besides the engineering courses, basic anatomy and physiology are offered for the purpose of communication with physicians.
Most clinical oriented curricula are executed in medical schools, they are based on the applications of medical instruments and computers,
but the hospital internship is a special required subject. Todays typical BME faculty differs quite significantly from the faculties
that began the BME effort in China. Members tend to be interdiciplinarians, capable of understanding a broad range of areas.
A significant number are bearers of graduate degrees, both bachelors and masters, from both inside and outside of China.
Nearly 300 students are presently enrolled in the country's biomedical engineering programs

ABSTRACT:
Tongue diagnosis is an important diagnostic method in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). However, due to its qualitative,
subjective and experience-based nature, traditional tongue diagnosis has a very limited application in clinical medicine.
Moreover, traditional tongue diagnosis is always concerned with the identification of syndromes rather than with the connection
between tongue abnormal appearances and diseases. This is not well understood in Western medicine, thus greatly obstruct its wider use in the world.
In this paper, we present a novel computerized tongue inspection method aiming to address these problems. First, two kinds of quantitative features,
chromatic and textural measures, are extracted from tongue images by using popular digital image processing techniques.
Then, Bayesian networks are employed to model the relationship between these quantitative features and diseases.
The effectiveness of the method is tested on a group of 455 patients affected by 13 common diseases as well as other 70 healthy volunteers,
and the diagnostic results predicted by the previously trained Bayesian network classifiers are reported.

Abstract:
Investigates an equivalence circuit model for characterizing a person's electrical properties.
It is not straightforward to compare skin-impedance data of various research groups because the impedance depends very sensitively on
measurement conditions such as the shape, size, material, and contact pressure of the electrodes, the skin humidity due to sweat, the applied current,
the shape of the wave, and even the psychological condition of the subject. With these subtleties in mind, we show the impedance data taken
by various groups and our data (shown with curves). Data of other groups are scattered around our curve.
