Clearing Away Heat, Numbness And Collaterals Treatment Of Rheumatoid Arthritis Yin Network Heat Syndrome

With a systematic retrospect of the 1CM insight into Rheumatoid Arthritis and advancement of its research and guided by the basic theory of 1CM, this article explained completely the treatment of Syndrome of Yin-deficiency and Heat in Collateral of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis by the method of nourishing Yin and clearing away heat, relieving the stagnation syndrome of qi and blood and opening the collaterals in theoretical, clinical and experimental aspects. In theoretical study, focus on the method of nourishing Yin and clearing away heat as well as relieving the stagnation syndrome of qi and blood and opening the eollaterals, its basis for argument, mechanism and application are explored in depth. For one thing, it is put forward in this paper that the pathogenesis of Syndrome of Yineficiency and Heat in Collateral is Yimsthenia and accumulation of heat and obstruction of windampness as well as combination of phlegm and blood stasis. For the other, the paper also presents in details the implied meanings of the therapeutic method of nourishing Yin and clearing away heat, relieving the stagnation syndrome of qi and blood and opening the collaterals. Eventually, based on this therapeutic method, Qingluo Tongbi Granule has been developed, which is a good example of reasonable applications of this method Which always lay emphasis on differentiation of symptoms and signs, elaborate formulation of a prescription and flexible compatibility of medicines. In clinical study, 43 cases of Rheumatoid Arthritis with Syndrome of Yin-deficiency and Heat in Collateral were treated by Qing]uo Tongbi Granule. The results show it can improve clinical symptoms, decrease Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Rheumatoid Factor (RF) and Ceaction Protein (CRP), increase the level of Hemoglobin and WBC, Lower the content of IgG lgA 1gM The results of clinical symptoms. ESR and IgG IgA 1gM obtained by the Qingluo Tongbi Granule group are significantly different from those obtained in the Tripterygiwn wi]fordii polyglycosidiurn (TWP) group (P
