Discussion on the treatment of radiation injury with traditional Chinese medicine based on "conghua" theory
Radiotherapy occupies an important position in comprehensive cancer treatment
and radiation injury is an important bottleneck that limits its development. "Conghua" theory
which originated from
Huangdi Neijing
is an important theory of pathogenesis that summarizes the characteristic law of pathological change. Radiation has the characteristics of high speed
high energy
and high lethality
which accords with the category of "toxic pathogen" in traditional Chinese medicine. Toxic pathogen has the obvious characteristic of "conghua" .After the radiation toxin damages the body
according to the yin and yang attributes of the physical difference and invaded site
it transforms into a yang toxin or yin toxin
respectively
which may be a key link in the evolution of radiation injury. The radiation toxin invades the yin-deficient and dry-heat constitutions
or yang fu-organs and exterior sites
which are easy to change from yang to "heat-toxin"
"dryness-toxin"
and "wind-toxin" ; and it invades the yang-deficient and cold-dampness constitutions
or yin zang-organs and interior sites
which are easy to change from yin to "phlegm-toxin" and "stasis-toxin" .Therefore
in the treatment of radiation injury
it is necessary to distinguish the yin and yang bias of the constitution
the internal and external parts of the viscera
and the slow and urgent stages of the disease to identify the pathological state caused by various kinds of toxic pathogens
examine pathogenesis
and provide treatment according to syndrome differentiation. Based on the connotation of "conghua" theory and the pathogenic characteristics of radiation
this paper discusses the laws of pathological evolution and syndrome change in radiation injury
in order to provide new directions for the clinical treatment of radiation injury.
