[Individual stratification diagnosis of lumbar intervetebral disc herniation].

Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is one of the most common causes of lumbocrural pain with its uncertain causes and varied clinical manifestations which marked by the specific symptoms and signs. Effective individualized therapy scheme depends on the correct and timely multi-level diagnosis of this disease. The paper systematically proposed the multilevel diagnosis, including qualitative diagnosis, level diagnosis, diagnosis by exclusion,combined diagnosis, classification diagnosis, syndrome differentitation in different stages, and disease severity grading diagnosis etc.

[Diagnostic ideas and programs of lumbar intervetebral disc herniation].

Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation (LIDH) is one of the most common causes of lumbocrural pain with its uncertain causes, varied clinical manifestations and featuring on each individual case. Effective individualized therapy scheme depends on the correct and timely diagnosis of this disease. Many evidence indicated that the nervous symptoms and signs have higher specificity and sensitivity, has great significance to the diagnosis of LIDH but usually has polytropy among different patients or different period and conditioning of the same patient to some degree.

[Diagnosis and treatment of intervertebral disc disease based on the theory of "Gucuofeng and Jinchucao"].

It has previously been reported that the incidence rate of intervertebral disc disease including cervical and lumbar vertebra is at the 8th position among the chronic and difficult treated diseases in China. There are great challenges on the improving diagnosis and treatment as well as reducing recrudescence of this degenerative disease. It was well known that the degeneration and bulge or herniatation of intervertebral discs are the main reasons for it, and the treatment for it always focuses on the disc recovery.

[Pathogenic factors of blood circulation disturbance in lumbar intervertebral disc herniation and mechanism of Tuina manipulation in promoting circulation].

Tuina manipulation has long been used in the treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, although its therapeutic mechanisms remain uncertain. The specific characteristic syndrome of this disease is lumbocrural pain in varying degrees, which is due to mechanical compression, aseptic inflammation, blood circulation disturbance and dystrophy. These factors can act on the involved nerve roots and give rise to nerve conduction disturbance.
