Abstract:
Progress was made in significance of pediatrical physio pathology in modern TCM, including the elaboration on the role of dry dampness as etiological factor in pediatrics; the elaboration of renovation of theory of fetal - toxicity from an eugenic viewpoint; the popularization of variolation and its immunological mechanism, and its verification conclusion in TCM; combination of traditional wind syndrome - like western physiopathology in cerebral - neurology.
