论骨髓增生异常综合征的中医治疗:基于“治虚三本”理论

汪绮石在《理虚元鉴》中提出的“治虚三本”理论,对虚劳的辨治进行了详尽总结,该理论强调肺、脾、肾三脏是虚劳的主要病位。肺是五脏之天,虚损关乎于肺;脾是百骸之母,气血化生之源;肾是生命之源,精气充盛之基础。这一理论对于辨治虚损病证有重要的指导作用。骨髓增生异常综合征(Myelodysplastic Syndromes,MDS)的病理基础为骨髓病态造血,初诊时多表现为贫血或出血或不明原因发热。中医学认为,该情况可归于“血枯”“血脱”“虚劳”“血证”等范畴,其主要病因是脾肾亏虚、气阴不足。在治疗方面可从补益肺、脾、肾入手,使正复邪自去、邪去正自安。

从“脾胃虚则九窍不通”论治变应性鼻炎

变应性鼻炎主要表现为鼻痒、鼻塞、流清涕、喷嚏等,属于中医学“鼻鼽”范畴。本文从“脾胃虚则九窍不通”理论出发分析变应性鼻炎的辨证论治,认为其标在肺,其根在脾胃,涉及肺脾肾三脏,其病机主要包括两个方面,一为“闭塞而不通”,脾虚生湿,痰湿阻窍,肺脾气虚,风寒犯窍,鼻窍不通;一为“不荣而不通”,脾失健运,清气不升,脾损肺伤,脾肾阳虚,鼻窍不荣。临证治疗应补脾健脾运脾,复生化之源,绝痰湿之根,调升降之序,固卫外之功,扶脾肾之阳,使鼻窍得通、得荣、得润、得固、得煦。

健脾益肺方治疗肺脾气虚型变应性鼻炎的临床观察

目的观察健脾益肺方治疗肺脾气虚型变应性鼻炎的临床疗效。方法选择肺脾气虚型变应性鼻炎患者60例,随机分为治疗组30例及对照组30例。对照组给予糖皮质激素鼻喷雾剂+抗组胺药,治疗组在对照组的基础上联合健脾益肺方,疗程为4周。4周后比较2组治疗前后症状、体征及生活质量评分,以此评估疗效。结果治疗组的总有效率为93.33%,而对照组为66.67%,2组比较,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05);2组患者治疗后临床症状、体征、生活质量评分均低于治疗前(P<0.05),且治疗组优于对照组(P<0.05)。结论健脾益肺方对变应性鼻炎的临床疗效肯定,可有效改善患者临床症状,提高患者生活质量。

基于形气神三位一体生命观论治卵巢早衰性不孕

形气神三位一体生命观是古人对人体生命的基本认知。卵巢早衰(premature ovarian failure,POF)是卵巢功能丧失的终末阶段,是困扰当代育龄期妇女生活、生育的一大难题。中医认为,人是形、气、神三位一体的有机整体,形、气、神三者中的任何一者发生异常都可能直接导致疾病的发生并影响另二者的功能。该文从肾精亏虚及脾失健运导致形体失常、少阳枢机不利而致气机失调、肝气郁结而致神机失守3个方面来认识卵巢早衰性不孕的发病机制,并基于恢复形气神三位一体正常态的治疗思想,采用补肾健脾以补形、运转枢机以理气、疏肝养血以安神之法指导卵巢早衰性不孕的中医治疗。基于“形气神三位一体生命观”论治卵巢早衰性不孕,可深化对卵巢早衰不孕的病因病机认识,充分发挥中医调经种子的优势。

汤水福采用益气升提法治疗肾性蛋白尿经验

汤水福教授认为,慢性肾脏病肾性蛋白尿的出现乃因脾肾亏虚而致机体升清降浊功能失常,浊毒内蕴。早期以脾肾气虚为主,中后期因脾肾亏虚日久,浊毒蕴结,正虚与邪实互为因果。基于肾性蛋白尿的气机升降失调的关键病机,汤水福教授以健脾补肾法为基础,结合湿浊瘀毒弥漫三焦的邪实特点,针对性地使用祛湿、泻浊、化瘀之法,同时重视采用益气升提法以调节脾肾气机。早期在健脾益肾基础上加用升麻、柴胡等助清阳之气上升的药物,使精微得固,蛋白尿得解;中后期,病程日久,诸邪内扰,清浊逆乱,则以降浊为基础,佐以益气升提药如黄芪、白术、茯苓、山药、升麻、柴胡等,使气机升降协调,清升浊降,保护肾功能,延缓慢性肾脏病进展。

从脾肾论治肌少-骨质疏松症

肌少-骨质疏松症是骨质疏松症和肌少症并存的一种老年综合征,是老年人群常见的慢性肌肉骨骼系统疾病。随着人口老龄化的加剧,肌少-骨质疏松症的患病率逐年升高,严重增加老年人跌倒、骨折、住院的风险,影响老年人的生活质量,加重社会经济负担。中医学认为肌少-骨质疏松症的病位在肌肉与骨骼,其发生发展与脾肾密切相关,主要病机为肾精亏虚、脾胃虚弱。治疗上应当辨证求因,标本兼治,综合运用补肾填精、健脾益气等治疗方法,发挥中医整体观念和辨证施治的优势。
