Use 8, Professor Lin Sun Microsystems Powder Fire Soup To Treat Diabetes Peripheral Neuropathy Experience Summary And Other Use

As one of the most common complications of diabetes, diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) seriously affects the patients’qualities of life and lifespans. Now the incidence of DPN is considered to be the result of multiple factors working together and influencing mutually. The mechanism study is still in hypothesis stage. Researchers have focused on one aspect of the course to propose hypothesis, such as oxidative stress hypothesis, neurotrophic factor hypothesis, vascular hypothesis, immune hypothesis, and so on. Diagnostic criteria and curative effect criteria are lack of unify. Control symptoms-based therapy is the best treatment strategy. Howerer the clinical efficacy is not satisfactory. So far there are not recognized and the long-term effective drugs.DPN didn’t have corresponding name in ancient books. Chinese medicine treatment achieved good clinical efficacy with the TCM research. The modern TCM believes that DPN is the excessive and the deficiency syndrome that the deficiency of yin, yang, qi, blood and the obstruct of phlegm and blood stasis. There are unified clinic draft specification and a wealth of clinical experiences, combining with a variety of treatments as acupuncture, washing, et al. And a large number of clinical trials have been conducted, but multi-center, large sample, randomized, double-blind, controlled studies are lack and insufficient to provide evidence based medicine to guide clinical work.My advisor Pro. xiaolin Tong observed in clinic that many diabetic mellitus (DM) patients have "spleen and stomach Qi deficiency syndrome" because of the change of modern life style. Combining with "Yin Fire theory" developed by Li Dongyuan, he evolved a pathogenesis theory of qi fire disorders. At the beginning of the illness, there are mainly qi stagnation (wood stagnation) and earth stagnation (food stagnation); Excess qi induces fire, then the heat syndromes of the liver, stomach, intestines happen; Excessive qi consuming fire, spleen and stomach Qi deficiency and the Yin Fire form, then flaming Yin Fire makes for Xiaoke; All deficiency syndromes getting serious, yin fire burns, yang is weak to warm, phlegm and blood stasis block which will result in the injury of collaterals, forming a series of complications. Sheng Yang San Huo Formula, created by Li Dongyuan, treated spleen and stomach deficiency and Yin Fire syndrome. Because of its characteristics of prescription corresponding to, wind drugs activating yang and soothing liver, Pro. xiaolin Tong used it in the treatment of DPN. He focused on the pathogenesis, grasped the main symptoms, paid attention to the collaterals and combined internal and external treatments. He achieved a good curative effect especially in DPN with heartburn feelings. So I summarized his experience, reviewed the formula origins, combined ancient and modern comments, analyzed the formula, concluded the law, and explained with specific cases. In addition, the formula could be used in other areas besides DPN, as the epidermis starch-like change, chronic pharyngitis.
