中西医结合调节血脂代谢的探讨

Exploration of Regulating Blood Lipids Metabolism by Integrative Medicine

高脂血症是心脑血管疾病的重要危险因素,降低血脂是临床防治心脑血管疾病的重要课题。西药降脂疗效强且机制明确,具有不可取代的地位。随着医学的发展,中西医结合调节血脂代谢日益成为高脂血症治疗的发展趋势。中西医结合调节血脂可弥补中药降脂强度的不足,又能减少长期服用降脂药可能带来的不良反应与经济负担。作为一名现代中医,要明确中西医结合调节血脂代谢并非简单的中西药混合,而是要求在系统理论指导下科学地治疗疾病,即运用中西医结合方法进行辨病、辨证,指导中西医结合降脂治疗,包括降脂西药的选择、中医的辨证选方用药,并根据现代药理合理选用降脂中药。

Hyperlipidemia is an important risk factor of cardio-/cerebrovascular disease, and reducing lipids has become an important project for its clinical preventing and treating. Western medicine, with its confirmative efficacy and clear mechanism, has played an irreplaceable role. Along with the development of modern medicine, integrative medicine has gradually become a growing trend in regulating blood lipids metabolism. It not only could make up the insufficient power for Chinese medicine in lowering lipids, but also could reduce adverse reactions and economic costs brought by long-term administration of Western medicine. As a modern practitioner of Chinese medicine, we should keep clear that integrative medicine regulating blood lipids metabolism does not mean a simple combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. We should treat it guided by systematic theories. We combine disease identification and syndrome differentiation, guide lipids lowering by integrative medicine including selecting Western drugs for blood lipids lowering, Chinese medical prescriptions for syndrome typing, and effective Chinese herbs based on modern pharmacologies.
