With the progress of traditional medicine and modern science, the development of clinical medicine, basic medicine and preventive medicine, the transformation of social psychological biomedical model, and the need of WHO's new health concept, the theory, technical methods, experimental connotation and extension of "disease-free" and "disease-free prevention" have been further enriched and broadened.
With the progress of society, everyone's health has become a general trend, and preventing and treating the patients with the most human cases from the source has given strong vitality to the idea of "preventing diseases before they occur". Based on the idea of "preventing diseases" in traditional Chinese medicine and the infiltration and enrichment of modern science, epidemiology came into being and gradually matured.
At the beginning of 1990s, Chinese scholar Luo put forward a novel, distinctive and practical treatise "On the Prevention of Disease" from the perspective of preventive medicine. Yang Li and Yang Li read ancient and modern Chinese and foreign cultures, put their heads together and compiled Predictive Medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Predictive Medicine of China. In recent years, Zhu and other scholars have put forward a complete "disease-free" framework on the basis of predecessors.
1. Current research progress:
In recent years, due to the in-depth development of clinical practice and the upsurge of modern scientific methods, including modern medicine, the discussion of disease-free theory has entered a new stage and level. For example, some scholars believe that "devoting to preventing diseases" conforms to the micro-medical principle of modern science, and the differential principle is widely used in biological cybernetics. Its basic idea is to grasp things from tiny units. Traditional Chinese medicine has always emphasized the consciousness of advanced treatment such as "nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing yin in autumn and winter" and "treating winter diseases in summer", and the discussion of advanced treatment is in line with the principle of syndrome differentiation. Some scholars used the basic principles of modern logic and scientific dialectics to sort out and study the logical methods of traditional Chinese medicine, which laid a theoretical foundation for high-level theoretical research in the future.
(1) Yang Li's Disease Prediction of Traditional Chinese Medicine is to analyze and judge the possible pathological information through various information sent by the human body (potential disease syndromes, symptoms, premonitory signs, such as consciousness, personality, body surface, changes in nine orifices, excretory secretions, etc.), trying to block its development, cut off the vicious circle that may begin, and make the disease disappear before the onset. Precursor signs are the key to early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of diseases, and also the key to nip in the bud. This book is based on the stage of latent disease symptoms before the disease occurs, which opens up a new field of disease-free syndrome differentiation treatment, and also pays attention to early interception treatment, which has a positive effect on preventive medicine and therapeutic medicine.
(2) On the basis of systematic research on preventive medicine of TCM, Song Weimin and others compiled the "third state" theory of modern preventive medicine, and preliminarily applied molecular biology, molecular genetics theory and technology, holographic biology, chronobiology and hidden sequence theory to further clarify and improve TCM. On this basis, he put forward "disease hierarchy theory" and "disease threshold theory".
(3) Zhu and other scholars' unfinished diseases enrich the sub-health state, mediation theory, genetic variation determinism, quality mutual change, threshold theory, steady-state cybernetics, potential information theory, multi-system hierarchy theory, macro and black-box fuzzy theory and dissipative structure theory in unfinished diseases and disease prediction. This paper tries to put forward the theory of occurrence trend, the law of time and space, the theory of resistance to change, transformation, complex change, mutation, distortion, decay and micro-manifestation. This paper introduces the pan-system synthesis theory of related disciplines, the self-adjustment and optimization of health engineering theory, etc. This makes the epidemiological theory more systematic and its connotation further deepened and improved.
2. Basic concepts of epidemiology:
Epidemiology is an ancient and novel discipline, and a new branch of preventive medicine, clinical medicine and basic medicine. Based on the traditional theory and practice of treating "disease-free", it has been inherited and carried forward by doctors from generation to generation for thousands of years, which has the characteristics and theoretical system of initial scale diagnosis and treatment and occupies a certain practical field. In recent years, with the application of modern medicine, biological science, statistics, informatics and control science, as well as the development of genetics, immunology, anthropology, physique, biochemistry, disease prediction, astronomy, meteorology, physics and other related disciplines, with the efforts of several generations, major breakthroughs have been made in the theoretical system, experimental technology, diagnosis and treatment methods of epidemiology, and an independent system has been broadened and formed in the field of practice. Disease-free mainly refers to the various States of the human body from the beginning to the "illness". Not getting sick means not getting sick, not getting sick. The main discussion focus of "non-disease" is non-pathological syndrome such as latent disease, precursor disease, infectious disease, aging, latent disease (disease incubation period), precursor disease (disease precursor period), infectious disease in disease recovery period and aging (degenerative disease period). ), and pathogenic factors (quiescent period), as well as pathogenesis, manifestations and prevention principles. The purpose and direction of non-epidemiological research is to prevent diseases before they occur, treat diseases early, prevent chaos and change, preserve health and prevent aging, keep healthy and give birth to excellent children. The general hope is that everyone will be "healthy for a long time", die without illness, live a good life, and ensure that everyone is healthy, happy and peaceful, and there is no medical profession. Emphasis should be placed on early detection and treatment when there are signs of disease, and attention should be paid to the prevention and treatment of disease transmission tendency.
