Advance in Pathogenesis of Gout and Related Gene Polymorphism

Gout is an independent risk factor for hypertension,diabetes mellitus,hyperlipidemia,coronary heart disease and cerebral infarction.At present,the studies on the mechanism of gout at home and abroad have mainly focused on immune inflammation,gene polymorphism and related studies.Uric acid deposition or crystal precipitation activates phagocytes,fibroblasts and mast cells in synovium,produces IL-1β,TNF and chemokine IL-8(CXCL8),thereby activating neutrophils,urate crystal polyanion surface can be coated with immunoglobulins and other serum proteins as substrates for complement activation,complement substitution pathways and classical complement pathways to activate complements.Uric acid crystals activate inflammation-related signal transduction pathways including the activation of inflammation-related signal transduction pathway by uric acid crystals and TLRS/MyD88 signal transduction pathways.Gene polymorphism is related to inflammation and signaling pathway,EGF gene is closely related to gout inflammation,which may be involved in the regulation of gout inflammation,among which NLRP3 inflammatory signaling pathway and gene polymorphism have been deeply studied in the pathogenesis of gout,which is the main therapeutic target of anti-inflammatory and uric acid lowering.

Research Progress of External Treatment of Acute Gouty Arthritis with Traditional Chinese Medicine

External application of traditional Chinese medicine has a long history and definite curative effect on gout.By searching the latest literature on the treatment of acute gouty arthritis by external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine,the research progress of external treatment of acute gouty arthritis in recent years was summarized.According to the existing research results,the external treatment of Chinese medicine in the treatment of acute gout has better efficacy and higher safety,and has a broad application prospect.

An Analysis on the Origin and Development of Nomenclature of Bi Syndrome

The literatures in more than 40 medical history books and classical medical works about TCM name and classification of Bi syndrome were systematically sorted out,summarized and analyzed,which basically reflected the academic origin of Bi syndrome in ancient and modern Chinese medicine.Through the research on the academic origin of the nomenclature of arthralgia syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine,the changes of the nomenclature of arthralgia syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine were clearly grasped,which was of great significance for the further standardization of the nomenclature of arthralgia syndrome.

Treatment of Arthralgia Syndrome from Eliminating Pathogen and Strengthening Vital Qi

More than 40 medical history works and classical medical literatures about the theory and prescription of arthralgia syndrome treated from eliminating pathogen and strengthening vital qi were sorted out,summarized and analyzed,and the theory of treating arthralgia syndrome from eliminating pathogenic factors including dampness,heat,cold,phlegm and blood stasis,and strengthening vital qi basically reflected the academic thought of treating Bi syndrome from eliminating pathogen and strengthening vital qi in traditional Chinese medicine books.

Thoughts on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Postpartum Rheumatism

Postpartum rheumatism belongs to the deficiency in origin and excess in superficiality.The dual deficiency of qi and blood is the main pathological basis of postpartum rheumatism.External pathogen,depression,and blood stasis are important pathogenic factors for postpartum rheumatism.Syndrome differentiation mainly includes deficiency-excess pattern identification.In terms of the treatment,it is necessary to take deficiency and depression as guiding principle.Besides,it is necessary to combine wind-cold-dampness or stasis evil of patients to take different treatment methods.
