Exploring the mechanism of gastroesophageal reflux disease based on "the upper jiao is cleared, the fluid is brought down, and the stomach qi is harmonized"
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common clinical disease of the upper gastrointestinal tract. According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory
its pathogenesis is not only closely related to the liver
gallbladder
spleen and stomach
but also to the heart and lung. Based on the theory of "the upper jiao is cleared
the fluid is brought down
and the stomach qi is harmonized" in
Shanghan Lun
our team propose that by adjusting the functions of the heart and lung in the upper jiao
the qi flow of the spleen and stomach in the middle jiao can be restored
which is ultimately conducive to promoting harmonization and descending of the stomach qi in the middle jiao
that is
"clearing the upper jiao with the aim of harmonizing the middle jiao". If the heart and lung of the upper jiao are malfunctioning
it will easily affect the middle jiao
which is not conducive to the harmonization and descending of the stomach qi
thus easily causing GERD to occur. Further combining clinical practice with relevant researches in western medicine
if the functions of the heart governing the blood vessels and spirit are abnormal or the function of the small intestine is abnormal
the person is prone to esophageal visceral hypersensitivity and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Furthermore
if the functions of the lung governing dispersion
descending and respiration are abnormal or the function of the large intestine is abnormal
this may cause esophagogastric junction barrier damage and transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation. All of these eventually lead to GERD. Therefore
the present paper provides a new direction and theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of GERD by clarifying the influence of heart and lung on GERD. At the same time
it further enriches the theoretical connotation of "the upper jiao is cleared
