摘要:The authors hold that apoplexy is the fateful result of the accumulation of various endogenous and exogenous pathogenic factors, the decline of the resistance to disease, and the impairment due to pathogenic accumulation. As they accumulate in the body, the pathogenic factors activate and become toxic pathogens. Fatefully, apoplexy occurs, as the various toxic pathogens accumulate in the body by staying in blood vessels, and meridians and collaterals, which affects the brain and mentality. On the basis of understanding the accumulation of pathogens, therefore, the accumulation of toxic pathogens and the impairment due to the pathogenic accumulation can be considered as two basic pathogenic mechanisms of apoplexy in its development.

摘要:The key points of the differentiation and treatment of the invasion of collateral vessels by primary infection (ICVPI), of which rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) are two examples, are discussed in this paper. The authors hold that ICVPI starts in the level of ying and wei and develops in the level of qi and blood, and the cause of ICVPI is a combination of endogenous and exogenous pathogens. ICVPI can be chronic and acute, and the focus of ICVPI can be local and generalized. The authors put forward that the treating principle of ICVPI is to cut the route of the transmission of toxic pathogens at the early stage, and to unclog blood vessels consistently. In this paper, the authors investigate the mechanisms of ICVPI by studying the syndromes related with cold and heat and their treatment. The authors conclude that the differentiation and treatment of ICVPI is a worthy TCM approach to treating refractory diseases, such as RA and SARS.

摘要:Written at the beginning of the 11th century, the medical book Avicenna’s Canon of Medicine is one of important medical classics in world medical history. It was regarded as the medical guide in Europe, Arab countries and Northern African countries for a long time. This book was used as an authoritative textbook for more than 700 years in the mediaeval Europe. According to the statistics, the number of the reprinting times of Avicenna’s Canon of Medicine is only less than that of the Bible after the invention of typography. The author of Avicenna’s Canon of Medicine is Avicenna as the book’s title implies, who enjoyed a good reputation and was titled as Arab’s medical prince. Although American-European scholars have been paying great attention to the research of Avicenna’s Canon of Medicine, they have not known that there is much TCM content in it up to now. By studying Avicenna’s Canon of Medicine, we can know that the time of the introduction of TCM to Europe, which influenced the history of Western medicine, can be traced back to the 11th century, namely during the Song Dynasty of China. The study of Avicenna’s Canon of Medicine has found another important clue to the history of the medical exchange between the East and West.
