柴胡桂枝干姜汤治疗肺结节的理论基础
Theoretical Basis of Bupleurum and Cinnamon Twig and Dried Ginger Decoction in Treating Pulmonary Nodules
摘要
Abstract
The disease location of pulmonary nodules is in the lung,which is closely related to the liver,heart,spleen,and kidneys.Its pathogenesis involves external contraction of the six climatic pathogenic factors,stagnation of qi movement,and obstruction of the collat-erals by phlegm-fluid retention and blood stasis.Bupleurum and Cinnamon Twig and Dried Ginger Decoction contains pungent drugs for dispersion and bitter drugs for purgation,employing both cold and warm properties.It is used to treat syndrome of half-exterior and half-interior(lesser yang disease)accompanied by yang deficiency and yin congelation.In the formula,Chaihu(Radix Bupleuri)facilitates the free flow of the pivot mechanism with its acrid and dispersing,uplifting,and outward-bearing properties.When combined with Huan-gqin(Radix Scutellariae),which has a descending nature,the pair can regulate the lesser yang pivot,one lifting and one lowering,thereby promoting elimination and regeneration.This ensures that when qi moves,blood flows;when qi is unobstructed,fluids are distrib-uted,thus removing the root cause of phlegm and stasis formation.The combination of Guizhi(Ramulus Cinnamomi),Ganjiang(Rhizo-ma Zingiberis),and Gancao(Radix Glycyrrhizae)generates yang through acrid and sweet flavors,enhancing the formula's functions of warming and unblocking heart-yang,dispelling cold and resolving fluid retention,as well as banking up the earth to control water.Its warming action is potent yet not harsh,allowing the formula's yang-warming effect to be sustained and moderate.This helps control the occurrence and progression of nodules,potentially achieving the goal of reducing their size or number.Huangqin can clear heat pathogen from various meridians,dissipate fire from the triple energizer,and is particularly skilled at clearing lung fire.Used together with Gan-jiang,they jointly achieve the effect of harmonizing cold and heat.Tianhuafen(Radix Trichosanthis)clears heat,generates fluids,and moistens the lung,anc can effectively alleviate fluid depletion caused by internal retention of heat-toxicity.While assisting Huangqin in clearing heat,it also counteracts the dryness induced by Huangqin.Muli(Concha Ostreae),salty and cold in nature,has the effects of softening hardness and dissipating nodules,as well as astringing and consolidating.In an offensive capacity,it enhances Tianhuafen's ef-ficacy in dissipating binded phlegm-heat;in a defensive capacity,it prevents the potential side effect of slippery stools caused by the sweet-cold nature of Tianhuafen.It can also generate fluids,consolidate yin,arrest sweating,and protect healthy qi.The combined use of these three drugs incorporates clearing,moistening,and consolidating actions,addressing both heat-toxicity phlegm retention and fluid injury with yang hyperactivity,thereby resolving the nodules.Different patients have different pathogenic mechanisms,and treatment should be tailored accordingly.In clinical practice,modifications can be made based on the foundation of Bupleurum and Cinnamon Twig and Dried Ginger Decoction.关键词
