RESUMEN
It has been proposed by Basic Questions On Proper Therapies for Different Diseases Geographically (《素问·异法方宜论篇》) that "wei (痿) diseases should be treated by Daoyin (导引)". Furthermore, it is clarified that the indications of Daoyin are those conditions related to spleen and dampness caused by dampness pathogen, excessive food intake and less exercise, and mainly manifested as heavy limbs, fatigue and flaccidity, which is similar to the metabolic imbalance in the early stage of glucose or lipid metabolism disorder in modern medicine. Based on modern clinical and basic research evidence, Daoyin can inhibit the response of inflammation, alleviate oxidative stress, regulate intestinal microbiota, and modulate gene expression to improve metabolic abnormalities, and this will provide ideas for researches on the indications of Daoyin.
RESUMEN
The grading of evidence is an important factor in clinical decision-making. The current evidence grading system based on western medicine is limited in the clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), therefore we propose the solutions to the development of grading system for TCM interventional evidence, following the international evidence grading standards, taking into considerations of the unique characteristics of TCM practice, based on the Grades of recommendation, assessment, development and evaluation (GARDE) evaluation system, and integrating with grading system regarding TCM classical literature and empirical evidence from modern famous doctors. The evidence from classical literature is suggested to be evaluated from three aspects including source of ancient medical records, comprehensive of treatment details, and the inheritance. The qualification of famous doctors, content integrity, and inheritance of experiences will be used to evaluate the evidence from famous doctors' experience. The multi-sourced evidence such as TCM classical literature, experience of modern famous doctors, and modern researches is mainly integrated in a qualitative way, and the overall level of evidence of TCM interventions will be graded consistently with the GRADE system based on modern research. The evidence from classical literature and modern famous doctors' experience will be assessed and considered as supplementary evidence, which will make the evaluation of clinical evidence more objectively and comprehensively, thereby guiding clinical practice further.

RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the awareness of osteoporosis and its influential factors in middle-aged and older people. Methods By using self-designed questionnaire, 354 middle-aged and old people were investigated as to their awarness of osteoporosis in Chajiao street community in Guangzhou. Among them, 58 people were measured the bone density in the calcaneal bone by Ultrasound. Results The average score of the questionnaire was 9.46 ± 5.13, and the accuracy was 39.4%. In the diagnosis and treatment, the accuracy was just 17.8%. The diet (the accuracy in 54%) and sport (the accuracy in 50.3%) were good. The statistical analyses showed the linear relationship between the T value of bone density and the age (P = 0.021), between the T value and the score (P = 0.047). Wilcoxon rank sum test found that the T value between female and male was significantly different (Z = -3.749, P < 0.000). With multiple linear regression analysis, the T value had a linear correlation with the score (F = 4.224, P = 0.045) positively. Conclusions Currently, the awareness of osteoporosis in the middle-aged and old people was inadequate. To better prevent osteoporosis, the propogation of knowledge and guidance provided by clinicians in osteoporosis should be improved necessarily and emergently.
