英文摘要：

With the development of computing and storage techniques,there are a lot of medical records and clinical data stored.It raises the issue of how to mine knowledge from these records and to promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）.Several challenging research subjects of Chinese clinical medicine data mining and analysis have been introduced in the framework of ＂disease-symptom-syndrome-formulaeffect＂,and the corresponding developments have also been reported.The significant meaning of the data mining and analysis to Chinese medicine is discussed.Then,the detailed works and recent achievements of seven subjects are given including：① Analysis of symptoms to obtain the optimal symptom subset for one disease or syndrome.② Symptom-syndrome or disease to obtain models for syndrome differentiation.③ Analysis of syndrome.④Analysis of Core formula as well as drug addition and subtraction.⑤ Formula-symptom-effect.⑥ Computerized symptoms.⑦ TCM knowledge engineering.
