A Case Report on Treating Progressive Supranuclear Palsy with a Combination of Chinese and Western Medicine

A case of progressive supranuclear palsy in a 66-year-old woman is presented.The patient complained of“progressive stiffness of both lower limbs for five years,accompanied by choking and coughing for more than 1 year,”and was diagnosed with paralysis in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),which was characterized by a deficiency of liver and kidney,and phlegm and blood stasis blocking the collaterals.Western medicine diagnosed it as progressive supranuclear palsy.The patient was diagnosed with“Parkinson’s disease”several times in the past and was given“polybasic hydrazide”and“amantadine hydrochloride tablets,”etc.The patient did not have significant symptomatic relief,so she sought further treatment with a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.Based on the concept of deficiency and excess,this disease is categorized as a paralytic disease in Chinese medicine,and the onset of the disease is closely related to the deficiency of the body after a long period of illness,with wind,phlegm,blood stasis,and deficiency as the main pathogenetic mechanism.The treatment is based on the combination of disease and evidence,with traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture as the main treatments,supplemented by intermediate-frequency pulsed electrical stimulation,transcranial repetitive magnetic stimulation,medicated canisters,wax therapy,traditional Chinese medicine guasha,and acupoint injections.Western medicine is based on symptomatic treatment,and the patient’s symptoms were relieved significantly after the combination of Chinese and Western medicine.

心房颤动的中西医研究进展

西医认为,心房颤动(简称房颤)的发病机制与心房的电重构、结构重构、炎症因子、氧化应激及分子遗传机制等因素有一定的相关性,临床治疗房颤除了使用常规抗心律失常药物外,射频消融术、左心耳封堵术等非药物疗法也有较好的疗效。中医则认为,房颤的病因病机多为本虚标实,其中本虚多以气阴两虚为主,标实多以痰浊、瘀血、水饮为主。历代医家治疗房颤是在经方、时方、验方的基础上结合临证经验而自拟方剂,可获得较好疗效。目前,关于房颤的研究仍存在以下问题:(1)缺乏从不同机制的交叉关系去研究是否存在有共同的靶点或信号通路;(2)中医证型较为繁杂,尚无统一的诊疗规范及疗效判定标准;(3)缺乏大样本、多中心、随机的双盲试验。今后,应充分利用现代药理学研究,探究中药疗效背后存在的作用机制,从而开展严谨、有效的大样本的临床试验。
