Phlegm Syndrome And Phlegm Syndrome And Aging Relationship Between Theoretical And Experimental Research

The documents about phlegm syndrome and senility are systematized in this thesis under the guidence of the theories of TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) It is indicated that the process of senility is the same as the process of the formation of phlegm stagnancy. The mechanism of senility caused by phlegm which is due to deficiency is the pathogenesis of senility in TCM. According to modern research development of the phlegm and the viewpoints of senility in modern medicine, an animal experiment was designed to verify the relationship between phlegm stagnancy and senility. The results are the following: (I )Phlegm clearing decoction can reduce lipid peroxides in the blood and regulate some indexes of blood rheology to normal level, cjelay the process of senility, prove the close relationship between excessive free radicals, hyperviscosious blood and the pathophysiologic basis of phlegm syndrome. The research provides the experimental basis for the researches of the phlegm syndrome objectivity and the relationship between phlegm syndrome and senility. (2)Senility is a course of the formation of the excess syndrome caused by deficiency. The low monoamine transmitters can cause metabolic disorder to produce excessive free radicals and hyperviscosious blood. Therefore, to prevent senility and treat some diseases in the elderly, curing deficiency is necessary, but clearing phlegm is most important. The research provides a new therapy for fighting senility. (3)There may be similarities and differences between senility caused by phlegm and other phlegm symptoms. These differences and similarities should be investigated further.
