Abstract: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was a complete and systematic diagnosis and treatment system, but inheritance and innovation were also needed for TCM for adapting to the continuous development and change of modern society, as well as people's pursuit for high quality healthy life. Yin-yang theory, five elements theory and visceral manifestation theory were the precondition for the diagnosis and treatment of TCM, which were used to perform the systematic and comprehensive syndrome differentiation of disease, thus formulate the treatment principles. However, several severe problems which restricted the application and treatment of disease for TCM. At the theory aspect, the basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine was not enough, the overall concept of thinking was lacking or weak, and lacking the mastery of the principal theory of TCM, which limited the diagnosis of disease; the professional division was too meticulous, which caused the doctor of TCM only mastered one subject, which caused the non-precise diagnosis of disease. At the syndrome differentiation aspect, traditional disease information collecting with observation, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry, and pulse feeling and palpation, this process was sloppy or omitted severely, which was also limited to the diagnosis of disease for doctor of TCM with the principal theories; parts of the doctor of TCM performed their diagnosis basing on the checking results of western medicine, but ignored the essence of diagnosis and treatment of TCM. At the aspect of treatment, decoction was commonly used in the treatment of diseases, however, bian, needle, moxibustion and the resting strategy of TCM for treating disease were ignored. The aforementioned factors limited the diagnosis, treatment of TCM, as well as the culture of TCM talents, which restricted the development of TCM. Thus, in this study, we anlyzed the current situation and problems of clinical diagnosis and treatment of TCM, and proposed the appropriate suggestion for the disease diagnose and talent culture of TCM by cooperating the principal theory of TCM. In addition, the usage of syndrome differentiation of disease of TCM with the corporation of checking technology of western medicine for the diagnosis of disease, then chose the suitable treating strategy. This work would provide the referential suggestions for the development of TCM and talent training.Abstract: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was a complete and systematic diagnosis and treatment system, but inheritance and innovation were also needed for TCM for adapting to the continuous development and change of modern society, as well as people's pursuit for high quality healthy life.

Methods The study subjects were from the Massage Department and the Orthopedic Clinic of Guang'an Hospital, Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. From March 2018 to October 2019, 76 patients were selected into the study group according to the inclusion criteria. They were randomly divided into the test group (38 cases) and the control group (38 cases). Before and after treatment, observe the changes of TL, TL/PL ratio in MRI images, the total score of WOMAC score for the number of high patella, the total score of pain degree in sub items, the total score of stiffness degree, and the total score of difficulty degree. Results After treatment, TL (t=-4.065, p=0.000), TL/PL ratio (t=-2.745, p=0.008), number of high patella (t=-2.066, p=0.042), total score of WOMAC score (t=-2.952, p=0.004), total score of 16 items of difficulty (t=-2.191, p=0.032), and total score of 5 items of pain degree (t=-2.965, p=0.004) were found. After statistical analysis, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The efficacy of the test group was higher than that of the control group. However, there was no significant difference in the total score of stiffness of the two sub items (t=-1.451, p=0.151) (P>0.05). Conclusion: The length of TL in the test group was significantly shorter than that in the control group, and there was a certain effect in the treatment of patella elevation with manipulation.Abstract: Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of kneading the patella and bending the knee on knee osteoarthritis.
