Buerger's Disease (Thromboangiitis Obliterans, TAO) is a definitive monograph bridging Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western biomedical science. Authored by Professor Ping Zheng, the text distills over 22 years of clinical practice and research at Shanghai Ruijin Hospital in China and the Portia Clinic in the United States, offering a groundbreaking perspective on Buerger's Disease. Moving beyond traditional understandings of TAO, the book presents the author's pivotal research identifying the condition as an autoimmune disorder driven by multiple hypersensitivity reactions and hypercoagulability. It provides a comprehensive framework covering epidemiology, novel diagnostic staging (SGD - Stage Grade Degree, STP - State Type Pain), and innovative integrative therapies. These approaches — including strong electroacupuncture, specialized herbal formulas, western medicine complex formulas, and low-dose herbal anesthesia — have achieved remarkable clinical outcomes, with zero mortality and the lowest recorded amputation rates in the author's cohorts. Richly illustrated with pathological data, case studies, and clinical insights, this volume is an essential resource for vascular, hematology, and biomedical specialists, researchers, and students — as well as patients — seeking to advance precision medicine, limb preservation, and integrative care strategies for TAO.

The rapidly changing market environment in China requires more research to understand fully the empirical processes of management practice and the business landscape in which they operate. Based on longitudinal case study research between 2005 and 2010, this book explores the distinctive characteristics of emerging forms of economic enterprise under market socialism in China. Adopting a holistic view, it explores how rapid environmental and institutional changes in economic reforms are impacting upon their practice, and assesses the role of government policy in shaping their ownership and management processes. Through the changing patterns in the development of business ventures, it outlines the dynamics of industrial and organizational change under the transitional phases of a market socialist economy, and explores the tensions which emerge. This comparative perspective will be of interest to academics, researchers and advanced students of business growth and enterprise management, particularly those wishing to explore China, Chinese business and emerging economies.
