Professor Tao Shuchun Blood Circulation Treatment Of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Experience

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (IIP) is also called autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura, which is one of bleeding disease, belonging to immune disease. Antibody of anti- purpura makes purpura damaged greatly, at the same time, preventing the mature of megakaryocyte and leading to series of bleeding syndroms of skin and membrane. Now hormone, splenectomy and immunodepression are often used. But all of this can't give the basis change in treatment of ITP.Professor Tao Shuchun concludes the pathogeny of ITP includes the affection by exopathogen heat, deficiency of the spleen-qi, deficiency of the spleen-yang and kidney-yang, and deficiency of the liver-yin and kidney-yin. But when blood is heated, it becomes blood stasis and qi becomes less and less. Because inadequate intakes for the transformation into qi and the blood , blood stasis and vital energy retard. With shortage of the kidney-yin , the yin fluid is not sufficient. Deficiency of yin leads to hyperactivity of fire, which makes the blood go out of the blood vessels. Blood that goes out of the blood vessels becomes blood stasis. So blood stasis is in the disease of ITP from the beginning to the end. The blood stasis is not only pathological products but also pathological factors. Blood stasis stays in body and makes blood go out gravely.Professor Tao Shuchun thinks: promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis is the basis method to treat ITP. According to Tang Rongchuan's theory, she uses curative principles of using purgative to treat diarrhen and curative methods of replenishing qi and enriching the blood and dispelling blood stagnation and giving rise to new blood. The main prescription is from Daihuang Zhechong Wan of Zhang Zhongjing. This prescription is used to driving out invading pathogens, giving tonics to reinforce the resistance, eliminating the evil with no harm to the body resistance and strengthening the body resistance with pathogens repelled. In this prescription, Daihuang is the monarch drug, its main purpose is promoting blood circulation to remove obstruction in the channels. Huangqi, Danggui, Baishao and Ganchao are used to replenish qi , enrish the blood, regulate the function of the stomach and spleen and assisting the vital-qi. The whole prescription is stopping blooding and absorbing clots. At the same time, according to the principle of diagnosis and treatment basing on an overall analysis of the illness and the patient's condition, Professor Tao adds invigorating the spleen and replenishing qi drugs, heat-clearing and detoxicating drugs, nourishing yin to clear away pathogenic fire drugs, which make the stasis cleared and blood stopped. Professor Taoemphasizes the relationship of qi and blood, blood stasis is the basis pathological factors. In clinic, she gets satisfying effect. It should be used widely.
