[Approach to the road of vigorously developing Chinese medicine by scientific location of channels and collaterals].

Through researches of channels and collaterals and clinical practice of many years, the authors understand that Chinese medicine, which considers the human body as an interrelated, mutual constraints, whole, dynamic living system, has gradually become an important part of modern medicine. Channels and collaterals are a closed loop system which is communicated and linked by energy and information in the form of electromagnetic oscillation, reflecting many characteristics similar to quantum. Channels and collaterals are not a fixed organizational structure.

[Meridian regulation is a course of communicating and implicating of the informational system with the material system].

Objective: To approach to the intrinsic mechanism of meridian regulation.

Methods: Summarize and analyze the results of the author's studies and the development of other studies about life regulating and meridian at home and abroad.

Conclusion: The regulating mechanism of meridians has two levels.

[Relationship of meridians with human material and energy systems study on theory and clinical application of meridians (IV)].

Objective: To expound the relationship between meridians and the human two information systems, material system and energy system.

Methods: Summarize and analyze the results of experimental and other studies.

Conclusion: The carrier of the meridian is human material system.

[Study on theory and clinical application of meridians (III)].

Objective: To probe into essence of meridians.

Methods: To examine meridians, acupoints, brain and relative organs by SQUID and fMRI, and to analyze the results.

Conclusion: A relative stable circular current of electromagnetic and chemical oscillation along the low electric resistance pathway was found.
