In view of the current overall deficiencies and slow progress in the study of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) syndrome models

related researches on superficies syndrome model were comprehensively analyzed based on the decades of research experience in superficies syndrome model as well as the latest advances in modern science and technology

so as to find a new breakthrough point in the establishment of the superficies syndrome model. Literature related to superficies syndrome model(or upper respiratory tract infection) was searched on CNKI

Pubmed and other databases

and was elaborated

analyzed and summarized in detail in accordance with the modeling method

showing the progress

shortage and possible breakthrough. Great progress has been made recently in many aspects such as modeling methods

prescription research and test

and biochemical characterization

but there are also many shortcomings such as poor clinical correlation

unsatisfactory correspondence between prescription and syndrome

inconsistent modeling indexes

vague criteria for evaluation of evidences. It is necessary to break through the original thought fetters and draw lessons from the progress on modern life science

and try to establish a multi-level and more elaborate system of pathological model for superficies syndrome. It is the core proposition to strengthen model studies by closely combining with the clinical research

fully absorb the progress of life science and other disciplines

and establish a more sophisticated and more detailed research system for superficies syndrome pathology model

all of which need to be solved urgently. This is helpful for the in-depth study of the superficies syndrome theory

prescription solution and its clinical practice

which can solve the urgent need of people's health in face of the increasingly serious outbreaks

and can also provide reference for researches on other syndrome models.
