Exploring the application of insect drugs for rheumatoid arthritis based on collateral disease theory
erosive autoimmune disease based on synovitis as the pathological basis. Clinically
rheumatoid arthritis presents as multiple joint swelling
pain
morning stiffness
and in later stages
it can manifest as joint deformities and systemic involvement. The collateral disease theory is one of traditional Chinese medicine theories. Collateral disease refers to diseases caused by the collaterals being affected by pathogenic factors
disrupting the normal flow of qi and blood
thus impacting the normal physiological functions of the meridians
limbs
and zang-fu organs. In recent years
the collateral disease theory has been widely applied in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Insect drugs are known for their properties in dispelling wind and traveling through meridians
entering and unblocking collaterals. Their therapeutic effects can be categorized as activating blood circulation
resolving blood stasis
and unblocking the collaterals; expelling wind
unblocking the collaterals
and relieving pain; and nourishing and replenishing the original qi. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that insect drugs can treat rheumatoid arthritis from multiple perspectives
such as anti-inflammation and analgesic
immune regulation
anticoagulation
antioxidation
improving bone metabolism
protecting vascular endothelial cells
and inhibiting angiogenesis. This article explores the application of insect drugs in rheumatoid arthritis based on the collateral disease theory
in order to broaden the therapeutic approaches to rheumatoid arthritis.
