Abstract

Guided by the theory and methodology of yin-yang set derived from Changing Book and Medicine Canon, and using genetics as a bridge, we have tried to bring together the ancient functional systematology and modern structural one as well as Eastern and Western medicine, thereby promoting the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in theory and in clinical practice. Herein, we used virtual technology to transform the genetic information in OMIM of NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information of USA, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov ) into a secondary database in the form of webpages. There are sixteen kinds of the database named gene morbidity ones as followings as: the nature of gene, the profile of common phenotype, a interaction of endogenous, the disease of a organ or a viscera pathogenesis phenomenon, TCM, the sign of diagnosis of western medicine, the gene response to environment, syndrome, disease, nerve and -endocrine, tumor and cancer, psychology and behavior, morbidity, endo-factor of molecular information, expression, the interaction between endogenous and exogenous in which there is 4 711 words, files. The advantages of the database are its aptness for using human fuzzy intelligence to recognize things, suitability to uncovering the noumenon (yinyang) nature of an object and applicability to clinical use.
