王阶从“虚-痰-瘀-热-滞”论治冠状动脉狭窄经验

冠状动脉粥样硬化斑块导致冠状动脉狭窄是冠心病发病的关键和病理基础。目前,冠心病的常规治疗措施包括药物治疗和血运重建,在一定程度上能改善症状,但仍有发生不良心血管事件的风险。全国名中医王阶教授临证经验丰富,在中医辨治冠心病及用药方面独具特色。王教授提出,冠心病的核心病机是“痰瘀滞虚”,四大证候要素紧密结合,互相转化,贯穿于冠心病发生、发展的全过程。王教授认为,冠状动脉狭窄与“虚、痰、瘀、热、滞”病机密切相关,其中“虚”为内在致病之本,“血瘀、痰浊”是主要病理因素,“热毒内蕴”是重要病机,“气滞”是加重病情、干扰疾病转归的重要因素。王教授临证时强调治病求本,病机结合病理,脏腑辨证和病证结合,方证相应指导处方用药,药性结合药理,灵活配伍。治疗上,以益气补肾、活血化痰、清热解毒之法立法组方,擅用经方加减化裁,守机用之,遵旨变通;或合方治疗,兼顾病情;善用对药配伍,强化药效,颇具特色。现将王阶教授在冠状动脉狭窄治疗方面的临床经验总结如下,并附医案一则,以飨同道。

骨质疏松症“亏瘀致痿”的理论构建及临床应用

骨质疏松症(OP)是一种以增龄性骨量降低,骨微结构破坏,骨脆性增加且易骨折的代谢性骨病。该病好发于绝经后女性和中老年男性,起病隐匿,多数患者在骨折后才被确诊,造成了大量的医疗资源消耗。浙江中医药大学附属第三医院姚新苗教授研究团队基于“肾主骨”“肾气虚损”等基础理论,创新性提出了OP“亏瘀致痿”的致病理论,认为OP的病机是亏虚瘀互结、夹杂致痿。在该理论指导下,认为应采用“补肾健脾活血法”对OP患者进行辨证论治。补肾健脾活血法主要包括虚瘀同治;补肾为本、健脾为要;筋骨并重3个方面。该研究团队开展了一系列临床与基础研究,从不同角度阐释“亏瘀致痿”理论指导下OP康复策略的科学内涵。

王济华治疗风湿病经验

王济华教授认为,风湿病的基本病机为人体阴阳失调,正气亏虚,外感风寒湿邪,表邪入里郁而化热,导致痹阻关节、肌肉、筋骨,病情日久多见肝肾不足、气血亏虚、脾虚湿胜、痰瘀交阻等。王教授治疗风湿病常个体化分辨患者风寒湿之偏重、阴阳气血之盛衰,遵循轻微解表发汗,兼顾温经止痛,重视健脾化湿、热痹当清、调补气血、虫类药化瘀剔络、滋补肝肾等治痹要点,组方精妙、配伍严谨、疗效肯定,可有效缓解关节炎症,减轻症状,改善患者生活质量。王济华教授强调,对于沉寒痼冷痹阻络脉,一般温药不能奏效,必用附子、乌头之品,用药时需要注重辨证准确、炮制方法得当、用量适度,且需在正确配伍的前提下间断运用,密切观察,以防蓄积中毒,而达到增效减毒的目的。

基于“二阳结谓之消”探讨糖尿病性便秘病机及防治策略

“二阳结谓之消”语出《素问·阴阳别论篇》,是认识糖尿病性便秘的早期记载,但目前学界多据此仅从二阳(足阳明胃经、手阳明大肠经)结滞化热来解释消渴期发生便秘的病机,存在一定局限性。通过考究发现“二阳”并不单指手足阳明经脉或胃肠二腑,而是包括胃、大肠二腑及手足阳明经脉;“结”也并不完全指结热这一病邪,而是指病邪胶结难解、疾病难以治愈的程度,并且“二阳”之热易伤血脉,造成络脉瘀滞。基于对“二阳结谓之消”的重新理解,笔者认为糖尿病性便秘在糖尿病期以“热伤气阴”为主要病机,糖尿病并发症期以热伤血络、血脉瘀滞为主要病机。治疗方面,糖尿病期以清热益气养阴为本,糖尿病并发症期以活血化瘀为核心,此外还需重视体质从化,全面把握糖尿病性便秘的诊治。

Clinical Study on Effect of Chinese Herbal Medicine for Supplementing Kidney and Qi and Activating Blood Circulation in Treating Intrauterine Growth Retardation of Fetus

Objective: To explore the therapeutic effect and the possible working mechanism in using Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) for supplementing Kidney and Qi, and activating blood circulation in treating intrauterine growth retardation of fetus (IUGR). Methods: Fifty-five cases of IUGR were divided into two groups, 30 cases in the CHM group treated with CHM and the 25 in the control group treated with amino acids. The effect of CHM treatment was observed and compared with that of the control group, normal pregnancy group and non-treated IUGR group. Results: Body weight of the newborns in the CHM was markedly higher than that in the control group. Not only the maternal fundal height (FH) and the abdominal circumference (AC), but also the fetal growth parameters, including biparietal diameter, head circumference (HC), and femur length (FL) in the CHM group increased much faster than those in the control group. After CHM treatment, the maternal serum levels of estriol (E3) and human placental lactogen (hPL) approached to those in the normal pregnancy group, but the control group,in comparison with the normal pregnancy group, was significantly different. The umbilical venous plasma concentration of essential amino acids in both treated groups improved, but the improvement in the CHM group was more significant than that in the control group. No apparent adverse effect of CHM was observed in either mother or fetus.Conclusion: CHM for supplementing Kidney and Qi and activating blood circulation was more effective in improving placental function and enhancing amino acid transportation than amino acid

陈以平“斡旋三焦”治疗特发性膜性肾病经验

特发性膜性肾病的根本病机与三焦气化失司密切相关。三焦不通则全身水液输布排泄障碍,痰湿、瘀血内生,病理产物堆积,郁久化热,进而导致肺、脾、肾三脏俱损。因而使三焦通在特发性膜性肾病的治疗中尤为重要,故陈以平教授通过“斡旋三焦”治疗本病,并创益气活血化湿专方。“斡旋三焦”通过益气活血化湿治疗大法实现三焦气机通畅。此法旨在通过补益肺脾肾之气、清热化湿、活血化瘀,促进气的推动、温煦、固摄及气化等功能的恢复,使三焦功能归常,从而促进疾病向愈。附验案1则。

从气虚血瘀与血管新生相关性论治特发性肺纤维化

特发性肺纤维化是一种原因不明的慢性进行性肺部疾病。结合现代实验研究,认为气虚血瘀引起的肺部血管新生是特发性肺纤维化的重要病机之一。血管过度新生责之于促/抑血管生成因子的失衡。促血管生成因子过度表达可产生大量无效血管腔,加速蛋白沉积与纤维增生,导致肺脏有效血容量减少,可归因于瘀血阻肺而造成的肺络痹阻不通;抑血管生成因子表达能够抵抗各类因子侵袭对病理性血管的催生作用,可类比于肺气保护卫外之功能。当气虚血瘀存在时,易导致促/抑血管生成系统失常,诱发及加重特发性肺纤维化。基于此理论临床选用补气活血类中药治疗特发性肺纤维化。
