Professor Feng Xinghua 's Experience In Treating Rheumatism With Coix Seed

It is a paper discussing the clinical experience of Professor Feng Xinghua, about how to use Yiyiren to treat rheumatism. With his great help, I do the reach in 4 portions. First, I summarize his thought:pay great attention to damp-heat, Strengthen Body Resistance versus Eliminate Pathogen, and think highly of spleen and stomach in treatment. Second, I do a study of his clinical experience about how we use Yiyiren during the whole treatment of the rheumatism, referencing the classical patient case. Third, I write this paper, doing the Literature Retrieval, tracing back the Ancient Studies of Yiyiren, learning the Pharmacological study of Yiyiren and the clinical application in Chinese Medicine. Here goes the paper.In the first part, The efficiency of Yiyiren, including eliminating dampness and r emoving arthralgia, clearing damp and promoting diuresis, repleshing spleen to stop di arrhea, clearing away heat and eliminating pus, long term using can invigorating Qi.It s processed method and Flavor and Meridian tropism, and common recipes in Rheuma tism treatment are summarized, with the help of Ancient Literature and literature retri eval. Antitumor Effects Include the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis, inhibit cell prolif eration, Enzyme Inhibition and Chemotherapy sensitizer. Its anti-inflammatory activity may be related to synthesis and release of PGE. It is reported that it has Immuno-ex citing Function and antagonize the fibrosisThe second part, introduced professor Feng Xinghua’s academic origin of using Coix seed when treat rheumatism. The "Huangdi Neijing" propose concept that "wind,cold and wet from the three pathogen, caused the bi. The Bi caused by wind called Tongbi, caused by wind called Xingbi, caused by wet called Shibi...... The heat, make Yin less than Yang called Heatbi...... When Yin deficient, the stomach is hurt." That means rheumatic disease in addition to the wind cold wet and heat pathogen, and the deficiency of vital qi related, in which professor Feng Xinghua pay attention to strengthening the body resistance to eliminate pathogenic factors have important relationship. "Jinkuiyaolue" proposed recognition thought of combination of disease and syndrome differentiation, makes the elaboration of Bi-syndrome, which far-reaching impact on the professor Feng’s academic thought. Li Dongyuan written the book "Piwei Lun" proposed that:"spleen and stomach deficiency, is the beginning of all disease......The pathogen harm of five viscera......The sense of the harm of skin moisture, meridian, beginning from the foot." Professor Feng Xinghua emphasis on the spleen and stomach theory, always use the method invigorating spleen and replenishing qi and eliminate dampness. Wu Jutong, Ye Tianshi school of epidemic febrile disease pointed out that previous treatment of Bi syndrome multiple dispelling powder cold wind damp and despise the damp heat. Professor Feng Xinghua thinks rheumatism acute joint swelling heat pain belongs to the treatment of damp heat, when heat and dampness, eliminate dampness is very important. Li Zhongzi’s "Yizongbidu" pointed out that rheumatism needs not only eliminating evil, strengthening the body resistance is also very important, this thought Fuzhengquxie has profound influence on Professor Feng Xinghua. In conclusion proposed application three important theoretical basis of Professor Feng Xinghua’s treatment of rheumatism:one, the importance of damp heat pathogenic 2, pay attention to strengthening the body resistance to eliminate pathogenic factors 3, pay attention to spleen and stomach. Secondly, through clinical common rheumatic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Syndrome of remitting seronegative symmetric synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), gouty arthritis (GA), combined with the related classic cases, when detailing Professor Feng Xinghua’s card of Coix seed specific usage.
