Theoretical And Experimental Study Of Protective Effect In Acute Brain Damage By The Method Of Kaiqiao And Tongfu

This paper advances the opinion firstly that kaiqiao and tongfu treats acute brain damage. It explains the efficacy systematically and thoroughly from clinic practices, modern studies, ancient literatures and so on. By experimental study of kaiqiao and tongfu in acute cerebral ischemia reperfusion to rats, this paper investigates the protective mechanism to acute brain damage. The results show that the efficacy of kaiqiao and tongfu is better than either of methods alone. It has the efficacy of increasing SOD activity, accelerating scavenge of oxygen free radical and reducing nitrous oxide content, which provides evidences for clinic treatment. This study takes the representative prescription of Wu Jutong during the Qing dynasty - niuhuang chengqi tang as the object of treatment in brain and bowel. To explain the function and significance of qi-activity to mental activity deeply, this study bases on the physiology and pathology of brain and bowel of traditional Chinese medicine. This paper summarizes the mechanism of treatment of brain and bowel as regulating qi-activity and treating the lower for the upper. This paper reveals the essential of kaiqiao and tongfu in encephalopathy.
