Discussion on the Application of Warm Yang to Promote Qi Transformation in Acne Mastitis from“Yang Promotes Qi Transformation and Yin Promotes Forming”

“Yang promotes Qi transformation and Yin promotes forming”maintains the normal progress of human life activities,which is an important embodiment of human vitality.The dysfunction of“Yang promotes Qi transformation and Yin promotes forming”leads to the coagulation of pathological products such as phlegm and blood stasis in the breast meridian,resulting in the occurrence of acne mastitis.In clinical treatment,we should take“warm Yang to promote Qi transformation”as the treatment principle,and add or subtract according to the specific situation.

Effect of Yang-Warming and Kidney-Tonifying Prescription on Expression of Osteogenic and Angiogenic Factors and H-Type Vascular Markers in Steroid-Induced Avascular Necrosis of Femoral Head in Rabbits

Objective: To investigate the effect of Yang-warming and Kidney-tonifying Prescription (YKP) on the treatment of steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head (SANFH) in rabbits. And to further explore whether its therapeutic mechanism is related to the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF (angiogenic factors), BMP2 and Osterix (osteogenic factor), CD31 (type H vascular marker) and MMP13 (bone destruction-related factor). Methods: Twenty-seven healthy male New Zealand white rabbits were divided into a normal group, model group, traditional Chinese medcine (TCM) group (clinical equivalent dose group of YKP), miR-130a inhibitor group and TCM + inhibitor group. The SANFH model was established by combining horse serum with methylprednisolone. After the model is successfully established, TCM group was given 6.44 g/kg·d YKP by gavage, and the miR-130a gene inhibitor group was intraperitoneally injected with 25 mg/kg miR-130a inhibitor, locked nucleic acid (LNA)-anti-miR-130a. TCM + inhibitor group was treated with YKP intragastrically and miR-130a inhibitor intraperitoneally. The rabbits in the normal group and the model group were intragastrically administered with normal saline 10 ml/d. Once a day for 4 weeks. The avascular necrosis was detected by HE staining. The contents of HIF-1α, VEGF, BMP2 and Osterix in rabbit tissues were detected by qRT-PCR kit, and the expression of CD31 and MMP13 was detected by immunofluorescence staining. Results: In the normal group, the surface of the cartilage layer of the femoral head was smooth, the bone trabeculae were intact and densely arranged, the cells of each layer were neatly arranged, the morphology of the bone cells, the chondrocytes and the adipocytes were normal. In the model group, cartilage surfaces of the femoral head showed exfoliative cracks. The bone trabecular structure was loose and incomplete, chondrocytes, osteoblasts and bone marrow cells were significantly reduced, and the number of empty bone traps was significantly increased. In the TCM-treated group, more chondrocytes, thicker cartilage layer, and more regular bone trabeculae were detected as compared to model rabbits. In contrast, the cartilage layer was thinner, the destruction and fracture of bone trabeculae was more serious, chondrocytes and osteocytes were decreased as compared to model group. The expression of HIF-1α, VEGF, BMP2, and Osterix in the model group decreased significantly as compared to the normal group (P Conclusion: YKP can regulate the expression of angiogenic-related factors (VEGF and HIF-α), osteogenic-related factors (BMP2 and Osterix), and H-type vascular marker CD31, resulting in increased expressions of VEGF, HIF-α, BMP2, and Osterix, which promote intra-femoral head revascularization. Meanwhile, YKP decreased the expression of bone-destruction-related factor MMP13, thus enhancing the ability of bone tissue to repair itself. Regulation of these molecules’ expression may be one of the mechanisms of YKP in the treatment of hormonal femoral head necrosis.

“Warming yang and invigorating qi” acupuncture alters acetylcholine receptor expression in the neuromuscular junction of rats with experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder in which antibodies have been shown to form against the nicotinic acetylcholine nicotinic postsynaptic receptors located at the neuromuscular junction.＂Warming yang and invigorating qi＂ acupuncture treatment has been shown to reduce serum inflammatory cytokine expression and increase transforming growth factor beta expression in rats with experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis.However,few studies have addressed the effects of this type of acupuncture on the acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction.Here,we used confocal laser scanning microscopy to examine the area and density of immunoreactivity for an antibody to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor at the neuromuscular junction in the phrenic nerve of rats with experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis following ＂warming yang and invigorating qi＂ acupuncture therapy.Needles were inserted at acupressure points Shousanli（LI10）,Zusanli（ST36）,Pishu（BL20）,and Shenshu（BL23） once daily for 7 consecutive days.The treatment was repeated after 1 day of rest.We found that area and the integrated optical density of the immunoreactivity for the acetylcholine receptor at the neuromuscular junction of the phrenic nerve was significantly increased following acupuncture treatment.This outcome of the acupuncture therapy was similar to that of the cholinesterase inhibitor pyridostigmine bromide.These findings suggest that ＂warming yang and invigorating qi＂ acupuncture treatment increases acetylcholine receptor expression at the neuromuscular junction in a rat model of autoimmune myasthenia gravis.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of compound of owarming yang,descending turbidity and dredging collaterals in the treatment of diabetic kidney disease with yin-yang deficiency and blood stasis syndrome.Methods:Seventy-six patients of diabetic kidney disease with yin-yang deficiency and blood stasis syndrome were randomly divided into observation group and control group,thirty-eight cases in each group.The control group was given conventional western medicine treatment,while the observation group took compound of owarming yang,descending turbidity and dredging collaterals orally on the basis of conventional western medicine treatment.The course of treatment covered for one month.Before and after treatment,we observed the scores of traditional Chinese medicine symptoms,indicators of renal function[serum creatinine(Scr),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),microalbuminuria(MALB)],indicators of glucose metabolism[fasting plasma glucose(FPG),2-hour postprandial blood glucose(2hPG),glycosylated hemoglobin(HbAlc)],indicators of hemorheology[plasma viscosity(PV),platelet aggregation rate(PAR),fibrinogen(FIB)],Cystatin-C(Cys-C),C-reactive protein(CRP)in the two groups.Results:After treatment,the clinical effect of the observation group was significantly better than the control group(P<0.05).The scores of traditional Chinese medicine symptoms,indicators of renal function(Scr、BUN、UAER),indicators of glucose metabolism(FPG、2hPG、HbAlc),indicators of hemorheology(PV、PAR、FIB),Cys-C and CRP in the two groups were decreased significantly compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease in the observation group was superior to that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Compound of warming yang,descending turbidity and dredging collaterals has remarkable efficacy in treating of diabetic kidney disease patients with yin-yang deficiency and blood stasis syndrome by alleviating clinical symptoms,glucose metabolism,renal function and microcirculatory disturbance,and the mechanism related to alleviation of microinflammation.

The combined efficacy of warming Yang therapy and Western of dilated cardiomyopathy with heart medicine the treatment failure:a meta-analysis

Background:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of oral administration of Chinese medicines with warming Yang effects and Western medicine in the treatment of heart failure caused by dilated cardiomyopathy.Methods:Seven databases including Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure,Weipu database,Wanfang database,China Biomedical Literature Service System,Cochrane library,PubMed,and Embase were searched.The search date was from established to October 2019.Randomized clinical trials of dilated cardiomyopathy patients with heart failure under the combination treatment of Chinese medicines with warming Yang effects and Western medicine were included.We then assessed the methodological quality of included literatures,extracted valid data and conducted systematically evaluation according to the Cochrane systematic review method.Outcome index included clinical efficacy,left ventricular ejection fraction,and brain natriuretic peptide.Results:Meta-analysis results showed that the clinical effective rate was higher in the combination group than that in the control group(RR=1.24,95%CI(1.14,1.34),P<0.01).In addition,the combination group could improve left ventricular ejection fraction compared with the control group(Std.MD=0.85,95%CI(0.69,1.01),P<0.01).However,the meta-analysis of brain natriuretic peptide levels showed that the included literatures have higher heterogeneity and the meta-analysis results were unstable.So the results of brain natriuretic peptide were abandoned.Conclusion:Oral administration of Chinese medicines with warming Yang effects combined with Western medicine is better than Western medicine alone in improving clinical effect and left ventricular ejection fraction,but it is not clear whether brain natriuretic peptide can be improved.Because the quality of the included studies is not high and inconsistent outcome index,more standardized and rigorous randomized double-blind controlled trials are needed to validate and guide clinical use.

刘小斌运用麻附细辛汤合甘草干姜汤加减治疗先天性肌无力综合征经验

先天性肌无力综合征(congenital myasthenia syndrome,CMS)为临床罕见的遗传性肌病。CMS患者虽与重症肌无力患者的症状相似,均有肌无力、易疲劳等症,但CMS为先天禀赋不足疾病,以肾元亏损为本,而重症肌无力为后天失养疾病,故在辨治侧重上有所区别。刘小斌教授认为,CMS的中医病机特点为“先天不足,肾元亏损”“脾胃虚损,五脏相关”,属于中医“痿病”范畴;根据患者不易出汗、舌淡红苔白、脉细的病症表现,可辨为脾肾阳虚兼寒邪束表证(少阴太阴兼太阳证);治疗可采用温阳补肾、健脾益损法,常以麻附细辛汤合甘草干姜汤加减,可酌加桑螵蛸、紫河车等益精养血之品,可获显效。

基于“阳化气,阴成形”从温阳法论治肺部结节

《素问·阴阳应象大论篇》中记载的“阳化气,阴成形”高度概括了人体脏腑组织的生命活动,阴阳失衡是导致疾病发生的关键。本文通过分析“阳化气,阴成形”理论,发现肺部结节发生和发展的核心机制是“阳化气不足,阴成形太过”。结节乃有形之体,是机体阳气亏虚,精血津液运行障碍,化为痰饮瘀毒,敛聚局部而生;结节本质乃阳虚阴结,本虚标实,本虚即脾肾阳虚,标实即痰饮、瘀血、浊毒。中医学强调治病求本,故基于“阳化气,阴成形”理论,以温阳化气为基本治则,探讨温阳法在肺部结节治疗中的应用,分别从温阳补肾、温阳健脾、温阳化痰、温阳活血、温阳解毒和温阳散结等角度辨证施治,以防“阴成形太过”,使“阳化气”之功能正常发挥,则机体阴阳平衡,百病不生。

毛以林教授运用经络辨证治疗项痹经验

经络辨证是中医学辨证理论体系中重要的辨证方法。毛以林教授临床善于运用经络辨证治疗各种复杂病证,认为项痹的经络辨证多与足太阳膀胱经、手太阳小肠经、足少阳胆经、手少阳三焦经、足少阴肾经及督脉密切相关。基本病机主要有寒侵太阳、营卫凝遏;少阳气郁、气血失和;肾虚失养、髓减骨空;督阳不振,筋懈骨惰。治疗上以祛风散寒、温经止痛;和解气郁、疏利经气;补肾壮骨、填精益髓;温振督阳、益肾补督。随证治之,疗效颇佳。

糖尿病合并肺部感染(气虚阳亏证)证治机理探析

糖尿病合并肺部感染发病率高、死亡率高,严重威胁患者的生活质量及生命安全。中医目前多从清热或者滋阴角度治疗糖尿病合并肺部感染,但此疗法对一些糖尿病后期合并肺部感染患者疗效欠佳甚至无效,从气虚阳亏的思路治疗糖尿病合并肺部感染可以取得满意的疗效。为此,本文探寻糖尿病后期合并肺部感染(气虚阳亏证)的诊治机理,指出其病机是肺脾肾气阳虚衰,尤以脾最为关键,兼寒饮内伏,治疗核心是扶助阳气以温化促气化,以恢复机体平衡。

从脾论治儿童抗生素相关性腹泻

儿童抗生素相关性腹泻(antibiotic-associated diarrhea,AAD)是儿童使用抗菌药后而出现的腹泻,其发病机制与肠道菌群密切相关,抗生素可通过影响肠道菌群的代谢功能及免疫功能导致AAD。中医认为,儿童AAD的病位主要在脾脏,病因不外素体脾胃虚弱、疫毒侵袭、药毒蓄积等,病机以脾虚湿盛、脾气亏虚、脾阳不足为特点。脾虚为小儿AAD发病之本,且脾与肠道菌群具有共通性,故临床治疗小儿AAD可从脾论治。从脾论治儿童ADD以健运脾脏为原则,采用健脾渗湿、健脾益气、健脾温阳等治法,分别以参苓白术散、四君子汤、附子理中丸等为基础方,调理脾脏以达治病求本之目的。

辛丑年运气方治疗皮肌炎相关间质性肺疾病所致难治性咳嗽

基于五运六气理论,从整体恒动的观念出发,分析辛丑年运用五味子汤合备化汤治疗皮肌炎相关间质性肺疾病(DM-ILD)所致难治性咳嗽的疗效。辛丑全年,岁水不及,太阴湿土司天,太阳寒水在泉,整年气化以寒湿为主。寒湿为阴邪,易伤阳气,尤伤肾阳,故辛丑年防治疾病应注重扶阳温中。五味子汤和备化汤是陈无择根据辛丑年运气特点所创的运气方,二者配伍具有温肾健脾散寒、温肺化痰滋阴之效,恰合辛丑年DMILD所致难治性咳嗽的病机特点,故辛丑年以其治疗该病具有良好疗效。

从“阳化气,阴成形”探讨扶阳法在肿瘤临床中的应用

“阳化气,阴成形”源于《素问·阴阳应象大论》。“阳化气”不足而“阴成形”太过会导致气滞血瘀、痰湿凝滞、水饮内停,使病理有形之物积聚而发为肿瘤。因此,“阳化气”不足而“阴成形”太过是肿瘤的核心发病机制。基于此,提出扶阳法为肿瘤的临床防治大法。在预防方面,需强身健体,劳逸结合,饮食有节忌偏嗜,注意调畅情志;在治疗用药方面,可分为温阳法、通阳法、温通法三法。

朱玲基于“病痰饮者,当以温药和之”治疗多囊卵巢综合征的经验

多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)是临床上常见的妇科疾病。朱玲教授结合多年临床实践,认为PCOS肾脾阳虚、痰饮内停的病机特点与痰饮的病机本质同理,按其发病部位,可称之为“胞饮”;在张仲景“病痰饮者,当以温药和之”的理论指导下,运用《金匮要略》肾气丸合苓桂术甘汤(简称肾苓汤)温阳化饮,化痰祛湿,调经助孕,疗效显著,为临床治疗PCOS提供了思路。
