A study on the treatment of chloasma with moxibustion based on the theory of“Yang transforming Qi,and Yin shaping”

Background:“Yang Transforming Qi and Yin shaping”comes from“Plain Question Yin and Yang should be like the theory”.Chinese medicine believes that the imbalance of yin and yang is the cause of human diseases.One of the strengths of TCM in treating diseases is holistic regulation.The theory of“Yang transforming Qi,and Yin shaping”implies a strong holistic view.Chloasma,one of the common skin diseases,seriously affects the physical and mental health of patients due to its unclear etiology,difficult treatment and easy recurrence.The occurrence and development of chloasma are closely related to internal organs.This paper is based on the theory of internal meridian,“Yang transforming Qi,and Yin shaping”which attaches importance to the concept of“Yang Qi”,from a new understanding of the pathogenesis etiology of chloasma.Methods:The author believes that the incidence of the disease is the deficiency of Yang Qi,which can’t promote the movement of Qi and blood to nourish the face,resulting in tangible material condensation,so proposes that this disease needs to be promoted by Yang transforming Qi and warm to dissipate.Moxibustion belongs to the fire,and its warming effect can dissipate the tangible evil.Results:Combined with clinical practice and the theory of internal meridian,the author elaborated that moxibustion is one of the effective methods for treating chloasma,which provides a new way of thinking for the treatment of chloasma.Conclusion:“Yang Transforming Qi and Yin shaping”can be used to guide the treatment of chloasma.

“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.

Differences in the Mechanisms by Which Yang-Invigorating and Qi-Invigorating Chinese Tonifying Herbs Stimulate Mitochondrial ATP Generation Capacity

According to Chinese medicine theory, Yang/Qi plays a pivotal role in driving physiological functions in the body, these being highly dependent on mitochondrial ATP production. Consistent with this, Yang/Qi-invigorating Chinese tonifying herbs have been found to stimulate mitochondrial ATP generation capacity (ATP-GC) in H9c2 cardiomyocytes. In the present study, we have demonstrated that Yang-invigorating Chinese tonifying herbs (namely, Eucommiae Cortex, Cibotii Rhizoma, Dipsaci Radix, Cynomorii Herba, Cistanches Herba, Cuscutae Semen, EpimediiHerba and Morindae Radix) and Qi-invigorating Chinese tonifying herbs (namely, Ginseng Radix, Pseudostellariae Radix, Quinquefolii Radix, Codonopsis Radix, Astragali Radix, Atractylodis Rhizoma, Juiubae Fructus, Fici Simplicissimae Radix and Dioscoreae Oppositae Radix) act by different mechanisms to stimulate mitochondrial ATP-GC. While Yang-invigorating herbs fluidize mitochondrial membranes and thus stimulate ATP-GC, Qi-invigorating herbs can enhance cellular glutathione status and increase ATP-GC. The different mechanisms by which Yang-invigorating herbs and Qi-invigorating herbs stimulate mitochondrial ATP-GC may serve as the basis for establishing biomarkers for Yang/Qi-invigorating herbs and herbal health products in general.

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.

从“阳化气,阴成形”探讨慢性咳嗽之因机证治

慢性咳嗽是以咳嗽为主症或唯一症状、病程持续8周以上的呼吸系统疾病。慢性咳嗽病因复杂,病程较长,病势缠绵,且极易复发。西医诊断该病过程繁琐,治疗手段有限,而中医药以整体观念和辨证论治思想为指导,在缓解临床症状、预防疾病复发方面具有独特优势。该文以“阳化气,阴成形”为抓手,分析阴阳在慢性咳嗽因机证治全周期的重要意义,认为慢性咳嗽之病机关键为“阳化气,阴成形”功能失衡,以肺之气血失和、阴阳虚损为本,阳化而气行不畅、周流有碍,阴变而凝结停滞、壅塞肺络为标。治疗上,需要补肺、脾、肾阴阳之不足,泄气滞、水湿、痰饮、瘀血、热毒之有余,以恢复“阳化气,阴成形”之平衡。具体用药方面,主张以偏纠偏,以药物气味之偏性纠正人体阴阳之偏颇。另附典型医案二例,加以验证说明,以期为中医药防治慢性咳嗽提供新的诊疗思路和方法。

基于“阳化气,阴成形”理论辨治痿证

津气两伤是痿证的病变基础,亦是“阳化气,阴成形”失衡的结果。阳化气不足,阴成形失衡,而致脏腑功能失调,水饮痰瘀内生,四肢九窍失养,发为痿证。本文基于“阳化气,阴成形”理论,探讨高颖教授采用助阳化气法治疗阳化气不足的重症肌无力,益肾调形法治疗阴成形失衡的多发性硬化,阴阳双补法治疗阴阳俱损的运动神经元病。治疗痿证,需审证求因,明辨阴阳,调整偏颇,在疾病早期给予中医药治疗,以延缓疾病演变进程、改善预后。

基于“阳化气,阴成形”论治癌性腹水临床经验探讨

癌性腹水作为中晚期肿瘤的常见并发症之一,临床以腹部胀满和呼吸窘迫为主要症状,多见于晚期卵巢、胰腺和胃肠道恶性肿瘤等腹腔脏器恶性肿瘤患者。其发展速度快,病情进行性加重,一旦出现癌性腹水,患者的中位生存期将缩短至数月甚至数周,严重影响肿瘤患者的后续治疗及生活质量。癌性腹水的治疗至今仍是临床一大难题。“阳化气,阴成形”是《黄帝内经》中关于阴阳生理病理状态的重要论述,阳主“动”而流散以化气,阴主“静”而凝聚以成形,二者调和一致则为平人,若平衡被打破则百病由生。郭立中教授立足临床,结合古医籍和临床经验,提出“阳化气”不及、“阴成形”太过与癌性腹水的发生、发展密切相关。其中,“阳化气”不及是发病之本,“阴成形”太过是发病之标。肺、脾、肾阳虚化气不足,水液运化失常,水湿结聚,水为寒邪,寒性收引凝滞,易致血脉凝结,血凝又加重水湿留而不行,水湿、血瘀停聚腹腔形成癌性腹水。阳虚、水湿、血瘀是关键病因,病性为本虚标实,导师以扶阳消阴为治疗总则,重视扶肺、脾、肾阳气以固其本,消水湿瘀血以治其标,并根据疾病不同时期的病机特点在治疗上讲求次第,灵活变通,并配合外治法,临床收效显著。

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。

气机升降理论内涵及不寐病辨证分型探讨

气机升降理论是“汉派李氏脑病流派”辨治不寐病的核心理论思想,基于气机升降理论将不寐病分为升降太过和升降不及两大类,根据气机运行的部位、气的多少、气机升降出入的不同形式将不寐病分为营卫不和型、脏腑气机失调型、阴阳不交型三大类型;每一类型又有各自不同亚型,共有卫阳虚不敛营阴证、卫气盛夜不入营阴证、卫气入于阴而日不得出于阳证、肝胆气机疏泄失调证、心肾气机上下相济失调证、脾升胃降枢机失调证、阳不入阴证、阳盛阴虚证、阴不潜阳证九种亚型,并表现出各自独有的临床特征。基于气机升降理论的辨证分型法补充完善了现阶段不寐病辨证分型类别,为临床诊治不寐病开拓了新思路。

随着全民运动意识的提高,运动项目和方法也逐渐多样化,丰富了人们的生活。然而,在热衷于体育锻炼的同时,适度锻炼和根据个人体质调整训练方法的重要性却常常被忽视。该文将从中医视角出发,借助中医理论中关于气、血、阴阳平衡与五行学说,阐释恰当运动对于健康的积极意义,以及不当运动方式可能带来的负面后果。同时,该文提出对应的建议和解决之道,希望能够帮助人们形成更加科学合理的运动习惯。

从“阳化气,阴成形”谈慢性萎缩性胃炎“炎癌转化”及防治

胃癌是高发的消化系统肿瘤之一,致死率高。部分胃癌可由慢性萎缩性胃炎发展而来,慢性萎缩性胃炎是“炎-癌”转化发生的重要环节。目前西医对于慢性萎缩性胃炎的治疗以改善症状、祛除病因为主,尚无统一有效的治疗方案。“阳化气,阴成形”理论出自《素问·阴阳应象大论篇》,概括了阴阳的关系。阳主功能,能够产生清气和能量;阴主形态,能够产生各种有形物质。本文基于“阳化气,阴成形”理论,对慢性萎缩性胃炎“炎-癌”转化进行探讨,发现其发生、发展的核心机制为阳化气不足,阴成形太过,而癌变后的高代谢状态又可导致阳化气太过而阴成形不足。治疗方面应扶正补虚以培本、辨证祛邪以消阴、滋阴清热以制阳,恢复机体“阳化气,阴成形”动态平衡,阻止炎癌转化进程。
