中医药治疗急性脑梗塞的研究进展

Research progress on acute cerebral infarction treatment by Chinese medicine

脑梗塞又称缺血性脑卒中,指由于脑部血液供应障碍、缺血缺氧引起的局灶性脑组织的缺血性坏死或脑软化,其发病率、病死率和致残率均较高,严重威胁着人类健康和社会发展。西医治疗目前主要以溶栓、抗凝、降纤以及脑保护为主。脑梗塞在中医属于"中风"病,近年来应用中医药治疗脑梗塞机制的基础和临床研究均取得了一定的成果,主要在改善血流变学、抑制血栓形成、降低血脂、增强机体免疫力以及神经保护作用和针灸治疗的机理等方面,本文仅对这几方面的研究现状及进展进行综述。

Infarction,also called ischemic cerebral arterial thrombosis, refers to ischemic necrosis of brain tissue or encephalomalacia elicited by blood supply disturbance to the brain, ischemia and hypoxia. The incidence, mortality and morbidity are high. It is a serious threat to human health and social development. The main strategies by Western medicine are currently thrombolysis, anticoagulation, defibrase,and brain protection. In recent years the traditional theory and modern scientific research on cerebral infarction treatment by Chinese medicine have achieved some progresses. In this paper, we reviewed these major achievements in the aspects of improving blood rheology, inhibiting thrombosis, reducing cholesterol, enhancing immunity and nerve protective effects, as well as the mechanism of acupuncture treatment.
