津液不足与衰老关系探讨

衰老是一种生理理象,是人体成年以后随着年龄增长而发生的一系列生理学和形态学方面的退行性变化。中医学认为,人的生长、发育、衰老与肾的功能密切相关,并认为精血亏耗、肾气虚衰是人体衰老的主要因素。

肾脾强健,则身美体壮

肾和脾在生理上有互补的作用。人的精气,先天之精廪于父母,后天之精源于饮食,由脾胃化生。同时,肾和脾又相互依存,肾精的耗损,要靠脾吸收精微物质予以补充;脾运化精微,要靠肾阳的温蒸和肾阴的濡润。所以,要想拥有健壮的体魄和美丽的容颜,一定要保持肾和脾的健旺。

气血不足的10个表现

人以气血为本。我们形容一个人身体好,通常认为其＂气色好＂;反之,气血不足则是不够健康的表现。那么,气血到底是什么,气血不足时又该如何调理？气与血是对双胞胎中医学认为,气血维持人体的正常生命活动,它们由饮食中的营养物质经过脾胃化生而得到补充。气属阳,主动,有温煦机体的作用;血属阴,主静,有濡润周身的作用。＂气为血之帅,血为气之母＂,气血之间相互影响、相互转化。因此,气旺则血充,气虚则血少。

Clinical observation of acupuncture and moxibustion for functional dyspepsia due to Yang deficiency of the spleen and stomach

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture and moxibustion for functional dyspepsia(FD)due to Yang deficiency of the spleen and stomach.Methods A total of 90 patients meeting the inclusion criteria of FD due to Yang deficiency of the spleen and stomach were randomized into an acupuncture-moxibustion group,an electroacupuncture(EA)group,and a mosapride group by the random number table method,with 30 cases in each group.The mosapride group was treated with mosapride citrate dispersible tablets.The EA group was treated with EA treatment.The acupuncture-moxibustion group was treated with additional moxibustion therapy based on the treatment in the EA group.All three groups took 10 d as one treatment course and 2 courses in total,with a 2-day interval between two courses.The traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)symptoms score,functional digestive disorder quality of life questionnaire(FDDQL)score,oral-colon transit time(OCTT),and serum glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1)level was compared before and after treatment among the three groups.And the clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results The total effective rate in the acupuncture-moxibustion group was 96.7%,which was higher than 86.7%in the EA group and 73.3%in the mosapride group,and the total effective rate in the EA group was higher than that in the mosapride group;the inter-group differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the TCM symptom score in the three groups was lower than that before treatment(P<0.05),and the FDDQL score was higher than that before treatment(P<0.05).The change after treatment in the TCM symptom score in the acupuncture-moxibustion group and the EA group was more significant than that in the mosapride group,and the change in the acupuncture-moxibustion group was more significant than that in the EA group;the inter-group differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The change after treatment in the FDDQL score in the acupuncture-moxibustion group and the EA group was greater than that in the mosapride group,and the change in the acupuncture-moxibustion group was larger than that in the EA group;the inter-group differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the OCTT in all three groups was lower than that before treatment(P<0.05),and the serum GLP-1 level was higher than that before treatment(P<0.05);the change after treatment in the OCTT in the acupuncture-moxibustion group and the EA group was more significant than that in the mosapride group,and the change in the acupuncture-moxibustion group was more significant than that in the EA group;the inter-group differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The change after treatment in the serum GLP-1 level in the acupuncture-moxibustion group and the EA group was greater than that in the mosapride group,and the change in the acupuncture-moxibustion group was larger than that in the EA group;the inter-group differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture and moxibustion can improve the clinical symptoms in patients with FD and enhance their quality of life,producing better effects than EA or mosapride alone.Shortening gastrointestinal movement time and increasing gastrointestinal hormone levels may be its mechanism.
