The Theoretical Study On The Correlation Of Liver And Spleen Of TCM And 222 Review Cases Of Liver Cirrhosis

Purpose:The theory of five-zang viscera correlation of TCM emphasizes on the "correlation, " in which is different from the theory of five elements and entrails theory, but developing from them. It contains every physiological and pathological relation of the five visceral system composed by cardio, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and six hollow organs, limbs, fur, tendon, nervure, muscle and the sensory organs which subordinate to them. The theory of liver-spleen correlation is constituted of the theory of relationships among five organs. Because of the different physiological functions and pathological characteristics, relationship between liver and spleen is very close. It derives from the classic theory of TCM. Its objectives are to explain the physiological function, mechanism of pathological change and clinical case. Though, there are many research on these two theories, there are no one based on the clinical cases. This study, based on Prof. Liu YouZhang's long clinical experience and the past relevant researches, presents the theory that liver maintains free flow of qi and spleen controls the transporting and transforming water, liver reserves blood and spleen products blood. It is valuable for digestive and blood system diseases. The study begins with unscrambling of the literature and the study on the clinical cases. Documentary and theoretical study:The study sorts out the theories of five viscera correlation and liver-spleen correlation from the ancient literature, and explains their connotations. Furthermore, they can to apply to use the liver-spleen correlation theory to the clinical cases. To analysis and evaluate the correlation referred to the clinical therapeutics of LC (Liver Cirrhosis) Method:To construct a data bank consisted of name, sex, age, reasons, staging, type, the main symptoms, symptoms referred to the five-viscera systems and TCM regulations, analyzing their frequencies, and also using different views to study the correlation regulations about five visceraof LC in depth. Results:The main reason of LC is CHB; and main type, symptoms are caused by the malfunction of spleen. Of all the use of TCM are all referred to spleen on its flavor and channel entry.Conclusion:The causes of the liver cirrhosis are almost from the malfunction of spleen. Therefore, the treating must starts from the spleen. To relying the theory of liver-spleen correlation in treating LC will get satisfaction curative effects, and even for the digestive and blood systemic diseases.
