Acupuncture medicine is a new medical discipline pioneered by Professor Zhu Hanzhang, which is a new medical theory system formed by the fusion and re-creation of Chinese and Western medical theories under the guidance of the basic theory of Chinese medicine and the absorption of modern science and technology and the new achievements of Western medicine. In the theoretical system of acupuncture and knife medicine, the philosophical thought of dialectical materialism is used to analyze the cultural background of the formation of Chinese and Western medicine, and the development of chronic soft tissue injury diseases is reunderstood from the perspective of the mechanical theory of physics, so as to find the entry point for the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, and the basic theory of acupuncture and knife medicine is formed – the holistic concept of acupuncture and knife medicine. 1.Theoretical basis of acupuncture medicine and related concepts Acupuncture medicine includes four basic theories and six components. The four basic theories include the theory of closed surgery, the theory of the etiology of chronic soft tissue injury, the theory of the new etiology of osteophytes, the theory of the etiology of the spinal zone and the theory of the existence of a large electrophysiological circuit in the human body. The six components include acupuncture medicine pathophysiology, acupuncture medicine imaging, acupuncture medicine manual science, acupuncture medicine diagnosis, acupuncture medicine treatment and acupuncture medicine nursing. Through clinical practice and in-depth research, the clinical efficacy of acupuncture has led to the deepening of the theory, followed by the gradual improvement of treatment techniques and the expansion of the scope of indications, forming a unique new medical discipline, opening up a new way to solve various problems in medicine today, and achieving a number of results in clinical research and basic research. Acupuncture medicine regards the course of chronic soft tissue injury as a whole, that is, the overall concept, and the various stages of this course as part of the overall course of disease. Specifically, the body is a mechanical structure of the whole, the bowstring mechanical system is the morphological basis of the overall mechanical system of the human body and the overall pathological framework of human chronic soft tissue injury – the mesh theory. Only from the overall concept of the disease process of chronic soft tissue injury can we correctly distinguish the similarities and differences between soft tissue related diseases and other diseases, and grasp the law of disease occurrence and development. Acupuncture medicine believes that certain causes can cause soft tissue length shortening, tension increase, relative movement restriction and luminal pressure increase, these changes can not only act on the local soft tissue lesion, thus aggravating the disease, but also affect the nerve, blood vessels, bone and joint and special organs near the soft tissue lesion, and participate in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases. In short, soft tissue changes can be caused by a variety of reasons, and can also participate in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases, soft tissue changes is an important link that has not yet attracted widespread attention. Therefore, acupuncture medicine stands at the height of the whole soft tissue and takes soft tissue changes as the entry point to understand the disease horizontally. In addition, with the development of acupuncture medicine, the mechanism of acupuncture action has developed from the single direction of “needle + knife” to multiple directions such as trauma repair and inflammatory factor metabolism, and is considered to be a mixed effect of multiple actions. In addition to releasing soft tissue adhesions and regulating dynamic equilibrium, the study of acupuncture mechanism also includes enzyme channel opening, stimulating autoimmunity and repair ability, changing chronic aseptic inflammation into acute aseptic inflammation, and unblocking meridians, etc. The pathophysiology of acupuncture medicine puts forward a new view of the life characteristics of the human body, and believes that the human body is an organism with a strong self-healing ability, so we should not abuse various treatment methods when carrying out treatment, and proposes that the doctor’s task of treatment is to adjust the various pathological changes in the human body to within the body’s self-healing ability, to properly grasp the indications of various treatment methods, and not to impose various excessive It is proposed that the doctor’s task is to adjust the various pathological changes in the human body to within the body’s ability to repair itself, and to properly control the indications of various therapeutic methods, and not to impose various excessive therapeutic methods that cause irreversible sequelae in the body. The self-regulatory function of the human body has a positive significance, not only to suppress and alleviate the pathological changes in the human body, fight against pathogenic factors and maintain the normal performance of human physiological functions, but also to recognize that in the process of such counter-regulation, new pathogenic factors are generated and new diseases are created, which is an important guiding value for our understanding and discovery of the etiology of many serious diseases as well as for treatment. . Acupuncture medical diagnosis is the basic integration of the two diagnostic theories of Chinese and Western medicine, the integrated use of various diagnostic tools of Chinese and Western medicine, which has greatly improved the precision and accuracy of diagnosis and reduced errors. Human beings use X-ray, MRI and ultrasound technology imaging to diagnose some diseases, the main significance of which is self-evident, but sometimes there is a big gap between these images and the actual situation of the human body. Acupuncture medicine requires precise diagnosis and accurate treatment, prompting a more in-depth study of imaging. According to the basic theory of acupuncture medicine, especially the theory of microscopic anatomy, the approach of taking clinical and human skeleton and cadaver contrast, find many imaging information ignored by the past imaging, which is of great importance to the diagnosis of diseases. 2, the disciplinary properties and positioning of acupuncture medicine The research foundation of a discipline refers to the research results of other disciplines that are essential to the discipline, which is the cornerstone of the discipline. Acupuncture medicine is not created out of thin air, its theoretical system and treatment techniques are derived from existing medical science. After more than 30 years of development, acupuncture medicine has formed a relatively complete and unique theoretical system and corresponding treatment technology system, with a considerable research foundation and unique research content, so it can be considered an independent discipline in development. It is believed that soft tissue changes can be involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases, and can be treated by minimally invasive percutaneous soft tissue release surgery. Acupuncture medicine is a cross-discipline, it is associated with acupuncture, massage, pain, orthopedics, rehabilitation, anorectology, plastic surgery and other clinical departments, among which chronic injuries of the sports system, cervical and lumbar spondylosis and degenerative diseases of bone and joint are the dominant diseases treated by acupuncture, these diseases are mainly distributed in orthopedics, acupuncture, massage and pain, in addition to rehabilitation, anorectology, plastic surgery and other departments Some diseases can also be treated with acupuncture. Professor Wang Xie Rong, the second head of acupuncture medicine after Professor Zhu Hanzhang, has also used minimally invasive acupuncture for the treatment of spine-related diseases such as vertigo, insomnia, allergic rhinitis, neurological rhinitis, asthma in young adults, ulcer disease, breast enlargement, heart disease and subacute health, obesity, dysmenorrhea, etc., and has also achieved incredible clinical results. The status and affiliation of a discipline in the academic field should be judged from a theoretical height, and should not be limited to the technical level alone. In terms of specific medical techniques, acupuncture is indeed different from acupuncture, although acupuncture also attaches importance to the sensation of needles when performing surgery, and sometimes also selects the corresponding points in acupuncture, but its focus is on the use of the blade to perform targeted cutting, peeling, loosening and other minimally invasive surgical treatment, obviously different from acupuncture. However, from the theoretical point of view, the theory of chronic soft tissue injury due to imbalance of dynamic balance, the theory of osteophytes due to imbalance of body mechanics, the theory of the etiology of the spinal zone and the theory that the mechanism of acupuncture treatment is to restore the balance of the human body, etc., are all in line with the basic principles of Chinese medicine and acupuncture, in which the basic ideas and theoretical principles are consistent, indicating that the basic theoretical framework of acupuncture medicine The basic ideas and theoretical principles are consistent, indicating that the basic theoretical framework of acupuncture medicine belongs to the theoretical system of Chinese medicine. In fact, the theoretical insights proposed by acupuncture and knife medicine are based on modern science, which is essentially different from classical theory. The core of the pathological mechanism of acupuncture medicine is the theory of imbalance of yin and yang, including imbalance of mechanical balance – anatomical balance – metabolic balance; the treatment process and purpose of acupuncture therapy (including acupuncture loosening and manipulation adjustment) is to regulate, restore or re-establish the above balance. Both the basic theory and research methods of acupuncture medicine are derived from medical science, but only from a special perspective of understanding the problem. It is because of the special perspective of acupuncture medicine that it is significantly different from other disciplines in terms of diagnostic criteria and treatment methods, and has contents that cannot be covered by other medical disciplines. The macroscopic theory of Chinese medicine (the unity of heaven and man, the concept of the whole, the balance of yin and yang, and the theory of diagnosis and treatment) is the guide, and the microscopic positioning and characterization of Western medicine (modern anatomy, pathology, biomechanics, diagnostics, and clinical medicine) is the basis, and the macroscopic and microscopic are combined with each other and complement each other. The essence of acupuncture is also needle and knife, needle and knife as one, also Yin and Yang, the combination of Chinese and Western, acupuncture medicine is an example of modernization of Chinese medicine. Therefore, acupuncture medicine is an independent branch of medical science, based on the theory of Chinese medicine meridians and tendons, the product of the combination of Chinese and Western medicine and its contemporary development, is an innovative discipline with independent intellectual property rights. 3. Clinical application of acupuncture treatment method On the basis of profound understanding of the theory and treatment rules of Chinese medicine, combined with modern anatomical knowledge, acupuncture treatment has been clinically applied for many years and confirmed to have significant clinical efficacy. Acupuncture medical therapeutics includes four parts: acupuncture as the mainstay, manipulation as a supplement, drug coordination, and device assistance [1]. Under the premise of clear diagnosis, the main causative factors of the disease are firstly removed by acupuncture, then combined with the unique manipulation of acupuncture medicine to completely eliminate the causative factors, and finally a small amount of drugs are applied appropriately to achieve the purpose of absorbing the tissue exudation and bleeding caused by closed surgery, promoting microcirculation recovery and preventing infection. This treatment method can ensure the safety of treatment, but also improve the efficacy and shorten the course of treatment. The needle knife is a kind of acupuncture needles and scalpel into a small treatment apparatus, so the clinical can separately play the role of needles and knives, but also can jointly play the comprehensive effect of the needle knife, playing a “1 + 1 > 2” effect. The diameter of the needle knife is 0.5-0.8-1.0 mm, as thin as a milli-needle, thick like an injection needle, is truly “minimally invasive” treatment, can be pierced into the body without cutting the skin, on the one hand, with the characteristics of acupuncture needles, needle knife stimulation meridians and acupuncture points, can move the qi and blood to pass the obstruction, so that the knot is dispersed, the closed pass, to achieve stasis of blood In addition, the needle knife also has a knife blade, directional, in the human body can play a role in peeling adhesions, loosening contractures, unblocking. In practice, we need to pay attention to the comprehensive effect of the needle knife, such as the existence of sensitive points and lesions in a patient, you can use the acupuncture effect of the small needle knife to stimulate the points, while using the surgical effect on the lesions to perform surgical treatment, so that the two effects can be integrated to obtain the best therapeutic effect. The needle knife release method is an important part of acupuncture medical therapeutics, mainly for chronic soft tissue injury diseases, through a variety of peeling method, incision method and scar scraping method to peel off adhesions, release contractures, scar scraping and unblock. The needle knife release method is mainly operated locally through the needle knife to peel off adhesions, release contractures and unblock the lesions, which can play the role of analgesia, tension and pressure reduction, promote local microcirculation and regulate immunity. Some of the clinical and basic experimental studies conducted on this method based on the summary of clinical experience have shown that the needle knife release method has an effect on the local pathological changes and immune regulation of patients, partially confirming the theory of chronic soft tissue injury and the theory of the etiology and pathology of osteophytes. In short, the operation by professional experienced clinicians, combined with the knowledge of Chinese medicine acupuncture and Western medicine anatomy and pathophysiology, minimally invasive acupuncture treatment combines the safety of Chinese medicine acupuncture and the objectivity of Western medicine treatment, for the treatment of intractable injuries of the body, the use of situational and regulatory balance and other treatment, cure at an early stage, prevention of disease in the future.
