To expound the basic strategies of translational medicine research based on clinical effect and scientific problems of acupuncture and moxibustion

and discuss the specific research ideas and methods of acupuncture translational medicine by taking acupuncture prevention and treatment of asthma as an example. The overall strategy of acupuncture translational medicine is to determine the effect of acupuncture first

then clarify the mechanism of acupuncture and transform the results into clinical practice. On the one hand

it is necessary to improve the objectivity and recognition of acupoints in experimental animals

and to realize the limitations and possible bias of animal experimental results; on the other hand

we should adhere to help and promote multidisciplinary research on the role of acupuncture.
