| Acute leukemia (Acute leukemia, AL) is the primary hematopoietic tissue in the proliferation of malignant disease, the main invasion and bone marrow disease, liver, spleen, lymph nodes, can also affect other organs. Clinical often high fever, anemia , bleeding tendency or significant systemic pain as the first symptoms, if treatment is not timely, the patients will soon died. Acute leukemia is the modern medical terminology, The Chinese medicine do not have this name of disease. However, its clinical manifestations can be seen: acute onset, fever, bleeding, anemia, liver and spleen swollen lymph nodes, is similar to acute leukemia of modern medical, belonging to the urgency of the JiLao, Blood, Zheng Ji, Wen diseases such as the scope of evil. The incidence of acute leukemia may be because of body heat Yin, or because Exogenous poisoning caused by the heat, in addition to innate endowment, excessive labour, emotional, dietary and environmental factors, Other factors such as family inheritance, child custody in the loss, radiation or benzene exposure large, long-term use of chloramphenicol, and other chemicals, all can cause the disease. Therefore, the Chinese medicine to its etiology, disease-awareness of the body was mainly due to lack of righteousness, feelings of drug evil, Xiedu connotation, hurt the business of blood, bone marrow damage caused bleeding (clinical manifestations of bone pain, swollen liver and spleen , the color of the tongue dark purple, etc.). Blood vessels are not in operation, there may be a lot of bleeding. Congestion can not be dissipated, new blood can not grow, so there will be the symptoms of anemia and blood deficiency. Blood is the mother of Qi, on the basis of the blood deficiency can be inverted to Qi, the further development of yin and yang in the last two dried up. After the treatment of this disease, drugs evil to decline by the strong, upright back, the condition can be achieved remission and cure, but drugs have not been completely removed evil, the body upright relatively weak, the disease often relapse.So far, combined with chemotherapy for the treatment of acute leukemia is still the basis of methods. But the chemotherapy with acute leukemia there are still many problems. Firstly, the high rate of disease recurrence. Secondly, in the course of chemotherapy there will be gastrointestinal reaction, or liver and kidney damage, or hair loss, or cardiac toxicity, or resistance, or not sensitive to chemotherapy drugs and other issues. The third, after chemotherapy, the body's bone marrow and immune function was significantly inhibited, in add to serious complications, the patient's quality of life will be in a significant drop. This not only reduces the patient's quality of life during chemotherapy, but also shakes the patient's confidence of further treatment, and increase the difficulty of treatment, patients in the treatment of late stage of the treatment will be proceed smoothly. At present, for the treatment of acute leukemia, mainly by western medicine combined with chemotherapy, with the Chinese Medicine for Treating, has been generally accepted by patients and their families as a treatment modality. But the key is to grasp the treatment of chemotherapy "degree" . Because the drugs are highly toxic chemotherapy drugs should be guided by the "drug treatment" and "bad most of its" principle. Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Professor Wu Han Xiang said, a highly toxic chemical, in its toxic than arsenic and mercury. Therefore, the chemotherapy can not be too severe and should be "Enough is enough" . Overdose of chemotherapy, do not benefit, instead of harmful.Chinese medicine combined with chemotherapy for acute leukemia, in many ways shows the advantages.â‘ to protect the bone marrow function, to promote normal blood functions, such as Yiqi Yangyin Chinese medicine and YiqiYangxue Chinese medicine;â‘¡coordination with the chemotherapy drugs to kill tumor cells, for example, Qingrejiedu Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine Huoxuehuayu, have different levels of leukemia cells inhibited the role and enhance the anti-leukemia chemotherapy drugs in the role;â‘¢reducing the toxicity of chemotherapy in the process of reaction, so that patients can receive chemotherapy and completed, shortening the time for bone marrow suppression, enhancing immune function. Helpful categories, Qingrejiedu traditional Chinese medicine has many immune system regulation and enhancing immune function.â‘£because of minimal residual leukemia cells in the presence led to a recurrence of acute leukemia, acute leukemia patient's condition to achieve remission, the need Qingrejiedu Chinese medicine, or Yiqi Yangyin Chinese medicine with chemotherapy, kill minimal residual leukemia cells and enhance patients Resistance.Acute leukemia chemotherapy is necessary, but "Enough is enough" . Integrative Medicine in the active treatment, TCM and treatment with chemotherapy and used, than chemotherapy alone significantly improve the efficacy and reduce the side effects of chemotherapy drugs, improve the response rate to extend survival and improve the patient's quality of life, can also prevent relapse, some patients can cure. |
