In the past decades, numerous clinical researches have been conducted to illuminate the effects of traditional Chinese medicine for better inheritance and promotion of it, which are mostly clinical trials designed from the doctor's point of view. This large-scale data mining study was conducted from real-world point of view in up to 10 years' big data sets of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in China, including both medical visits to hospital and cyberspace and contemporaneous social survey data. Finally, some important and interesting findings appear: (1) More Criticisms vs. More Visits. The intensity of criticism increased by 2.33 times over the past 10 years, while the actual number of visits increased by 2.41 times. (2) The people of younger age, highly educated and from economically developed areas have become the primary population for utilizing TCM, which is contrary to common opinions on the characteristics of TCM users. The discovery of this phenomenon indicates that TCM deserves further study on how it treats illness and maintains health.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in China. The diagnosis of CHD in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was mainly based on experience in the past. In this paper, we proposed four MI-based association algorithms to analyze phenotype networks of CHD, and established scale of syndromes to automatically generate the diagnosis of patients based on their phenotypes. We also compared the change of core syndromes that CHD were combined with other diseases, and presented the different phenotype spectra.
