Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of Chinese medicine compositions and preparations, and particularly relates to an acupoint-application Chinese medicine composition for auxiliary treatment of edema of yang deficiency and water dissemination type and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Edema is a symptom of excessive fluid retention in the interstitial space. The causes of edema include decreased plasma colloid osmotic pressure, increased hydrostatic pressure in capillaries, increased capillary wall permeability, and obstructed lymphatic reflux. Edema is a complex disease with many types. It has both external and internal causes. The organs affected are not limited to the common three organs of the lung, spleen, and kidney. The severity of the disease varies, and there is often confusion and transformation of yin and yang, cold and heat, and deficiency and excess. Edema, as one of the common clinical symptoms, reflects the severity of the disease and is also the focus and difficulty of clinical treatment. Modern medicine treats it by controlling the primary disease, limiting sodium salt intake, applying diuretics, and infusing albumin. However, the use of diuretics also has the problem of causing water and electrolyte disorders, increased uric acid, dyslipidemia, glucose metabolism disorders, and even damage to liver and kidney function. Long-term use of diuretics may cause the body to become dependent on them, which gradually weakens the diuretic effect and requires higher doses to achieve the same effect.
[0003] In view of the above problems, the present invention, under the guidance of the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, aims to provide a Chinese medicine composition for acupoint application for auxiliary treatment of edema due to yang deficiency and water dissemination. Summary of the invention
[0004] The primary purpose of the present invention is to provide a Chinese medicine composition for acupoint application for auxiliary treatment of edema caused by yang deficiency and water retention; another purpose is to provide a preparation method of the Chinese medicine composition.
[0005] The primary purpose of the present invention is achieved in this way. The Chinese medicine composition for treating edema is composed of 10-20g of Heishun tablets, 6-12g of Gansui, 10-20g of Artemisia argyi, 15-30g of Stephania tetrandra, 15-30g of Poria, 6-12g of Garlic lily, 20-40g of Duckweed, 6-12g of Pharbitis seeds, 20-40g of Corn silk, and 6-12g of Leech, and is suitable for Yang deficiency and water flooding syndrome.
[0006] Another purpose is achieved by the method for preparing the acupoint application Chinese medicine composition for treating edema due to yang deficiency and water retention, characterized in that medically acceptable excipients are added to the Chinese medicine composition formula to prepare it into an ointment.
[0007] Application of the traditional Chinese medicine composition in preparing medicine for treating edema.
[0008] The Chinese medicine composition is used in preparing medicines for treating yang deficiency and water retention syndrome and concurrent syndromes.
[0009] Edema is mostly caused by external pathogens, improper diet, long-term residence in wetlands or physical weakness after illness, which leads to dysfunction of internal organs, loss of body fluid distribution, retention in the body and overflowing on the skin. Its symptoms are characterized by swelling of the eyelids, head, face, limbs, waist and back and even the whole body. "Suwen·Qi Sheng Tong Tian Lun" says: "Yang Qi is like the sky and the sun". Yang Qi is the basis of the functional activities of the internal organs and the master of water metabolism. The five internal organs and six bowels all rely on the warmth and promotion of the whole body's Yang Qi, and the metabolism of Qi, blood and body fluids cannot be separated from the evaporation and gasification of Yang Qi. "Huangdi Neijing" says: "If it does not grow from the hair, the Yang of the five internal organs is exhausted. The body fluid is full, the soul lives alone, the essence is lonely inside, and the Qi is exhausted outside." The exhaustion of Yang in the five internal organs is the cause of edema. Yin Qi is strong inside, Yang Qi is exhausted, and it cannot enter the abdomen. When the Yang Qi is deficient, it cannot transform Qi and move water. Water remains and fills the whole body. When the Yang Qi is depleted, the water essence cannot move and becomes water vapor. Therefore, the essence is isolated inside. Water fills the skin and the body is swollen. Therefore, the shape cannot be protected by clothes. The limbs are swollen and urgent, which affects the internal organs. This is because the Yin Qi is blocked inside and the water vapor is relaxed outside. In treatment, "remove the old and rotten, slightly move the four poles, warm the clothes, and use the Miao acupuncture to restore the shape. Open the ghost gate, clean the palace, and take the essence in time." According to the severity of the disease, remove blood stasis and eliminate the accumulated water. Ask the patient to move the limbs slightly and wear warm clothes to gradually spread the Yang Qi. Then use the Miao acupuncture method to restore his body shape. Then make the sweat flow smoothly and the urine flow smoothly, so that the Yin essence returns to normal. When the Yang Qi of the five internal organs is distributed and the stagnation of the five internal organs is cleansed, then the essence will naturally be produced, the body will naturally be strong, the bones and muscles will complement each other, and the positive energy will naturally recover.
[0010] The inventor clinically studied that the pathogenic factors of the disease include invasion of exogenous evil, improper diet, emotional disorder, long-term illness and lack of nourishment, etc., which lead to deficiency of Yang Qi in the five internal organs. If Yang is deficient, Yang cannot transform into Qi, if Qi cannot move blood, blood stasis will occur, if Qi cannot transform into water, water will stagnate, and water stasis will cause edema; if Yang Qi is deficient, Yin and cold are strong inside, and the lung defense fails to warm up, resulting in chills, cold limbs, and pale complexion; if Yang Qi in the spleen and kidney is deficient, the warming, transportation, and consolidation functions are weakened, and the bladder gasification is dysfunctional, resulting in loose stools and less urine; if the kidney Yang is deficient, the waist and the mansion are not nourished, resulting in soreness of the waist and knees, loss of libido or irregular menstruation, and dysuria; if the heart and spleen are not nourished, and Qi and blood are not harmonious, there will be symptoms such as fatigue, lack of appetite, etc. The movement of water in the human body depends on the gasification of the internal organs and the distribution of body fluids, such as the normal functioning of the functions of the agitation of the heart Qi, the regulation of the lung Qi, the transfer of the spleen Qi, the transpiration of the kidney Qi, and the dredging of the liver Qi.
[0011] Based on the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon of Medicine, which states that "the five Yangs are spread out, dredging the five internal organs, so the essence is generated naturally, the body is strong naturally, the bones and flesh are protected, and the great Qi is balanced", the inventor, Professor Wei Danxia, a famous Chinese medicine doctor in Yunnan Province, guided by his academic thought of "taking Yin and Yang syndrome differentiation as the key, distinguishing the deficiency and excess of the exterior and interior, cold and heat, warming the five internal organs, and the water flowing when the Qi is transformed", implemented the treatment principle of "warming the Yang, transforming Qi, activating blood circulation and promoting water". The five Yangs and the mechanism of water metabolism are adapted to the clinical pathological characteristics of "edema is mostly caused by Yang deficiency and water overflow, insufficient Yang transformation, and excess Yin formation". Professor Wei Danxia believes that after the water enters the stomach, it spreads its essence and moves upward to the spleen. Through the spleen's distribution and transfer of the essence, the liver is responsible for dredging and regulating the qi. When the qi moves, the water moves. The essence returns to the lungs. The lungs are responsible for clearing and regulating. The lung qi moves, regulates the water channels, and reaches the limbs and organs to nourish the muscles and moisturize the skin. The waste and residual water after metabolism are transformed into sweat and discharged from the sweat pores through the transpiration of the yang qi. Another part of the water moves in the body through the meridians with the nutrient qi through the lung's descending function, with the heart as the driving force, to nourish the five internal organs and six bowels, and to infuse the joints and brain marrow. After being used by the body's tissues and organs, it gathers in the kidneys. The kidney is the organ that mainly controls water. The water gathered in the kidneys is secreted into two parts: clear and turbid under the kidney's gasification function. The clear part, through the transpiration and gasification of the yang energy in the kidney, returns to the lungs, and is then distributed throughout the body by the heart and lungs to maintain the normal amount of water in the body; the turbid part, through the warming and promoting action of the yang energy in the kidney, is continuously transformed into urine and transported downward to the bladder. In this way, the water essence is spread all over the body, externally to the skin and fur, and internally to the meridians of the five internal organs, and can be adapted to the changes of cold and heat in the four seasons and the changes of yin and yang in the five internal organs. Professor Wei responded to the concept of "external treatment and internal treatment". The acupoint application of drugs stimulates the meridian acupoints to stimulate the body's positive energy and mobilize the power in the body. Through the dual effects of drugs and meridian acupoints, the effects of warming yang, transforming qi, activating blood circulation and promoting water excretion are exerted. In addition, the drugs are absorbed through the skin and do not undergo liver and kidney metabolism, thus avoiding the first-pass effect of the drugs and the toxic side effects on the kidneys. Based on the above theory, the inventors of the present invention have formulated a prescription for the treatment of the etiology and pathogenesis of edema caused by yang deficiency and water overflow: in the prescription, Heishun Tablet is very hot, pungent and sweet, enters the heart, kidney and spleen meridians, and is toxic; Gan Sui is bitter, cold and toxic, and enters the lung, kidney and large intestine meridians; Heishun Tablet replenishes fire and assists yang, and expels wind, cold and dampness, while Gan Sui drains water, expels fluid, reduces swelling and disperses nodules, and the two drugs assist each other and serve as the main medicine.Artemisia argyi, Stephania tetrandra, Poria cocos, and Garlic are the assistant drugs; Artemisia argyi is pungent, bitter, warm, and slightly toxic. It enters the liver, spleen, and kidney meridians. Artemisia argyi is aromatic, promotes the flow of yang energy, warms the meridians, dispels cold and removes dampness; Stephania tetrandra is cold in nature and bitter in taste. It enters the lungs and bladder, promotes diuresis and reduces swelling, can open the pores, and promote the flow of water to the three burners; Poria cocos is sweet and light in taste, and is neutral in nature. It enters the heart, lungs, spleen, and kidney meridians, strengthens the spleen and stomach, promotes diuresis and removes dampness; Garlic is pungent in nature and warm in nature. It enters the spleen, stomach, lung, and large intestine meridians, promotes the flow of stagnant qi, and warms the spleen and stomach. The four can be used together to increase The main drug is strong, warming the yang, transforming qi and promoting water circulation; duckweed is pungent and cold, entering the lung meridian, promoting perspiration on the lung surface, dispelling wind and promoting water circulation; morning glory seeds are cold, bitter and toxic, entering the lung, kidney and large intestine meridians, purging water and relieving constipation, eliminating phlegm and removing fluid; corn silk is sweet and neutral, entering the bladder, liver and gallbladder meridians, strengthening the spleen, eliminating dampness and promoting urination, soothing the liver and promoting gallbladder, bitter and cold counter-assisting, guiding yang from yin and enhancing the diuretic effect; leech is a messenger, salty, bitter, neutral, slightly toxic, entering the liver meridian, breaking blood, promoting blood circulation and activating collaterals, and guiding the drug directly to the diseased area. The combination is accurate, which not only brings out the effects of each drug flavor, but also mobilizes the synergistic effect between the drugs.
[0012] Among them, aconite is very hot, it helps the heart yang to dredge the meridians, warms the spleen yang to dispel the cold, replenishes the kidney yang to benefit the fire, and reaches the skin and fur to eliminate the cold. Corn silk soothes the liver and promotes bile secretion, duckweed goes to the lungs and defends against exterior symptoms, garlic relieves the stagnation of qi in the middle burner, and mugwort circulates the yang qi of the whole body, so that the yang qi of the five internal organs can be spread and spread, and the yin and cold water and fluid can be transformed, and the movement of qi drives the movement of water; morning glory seed is clearing and descending, it goes to the airways, dredges the three burners, and drains water and promotes urination; Ginseng is stern and fierce, it goes to the waterways, dredges the meridians, and is used for attacking and resolving. Stephania tetrandra opens the pores, dredges the three burners, unblocks the waterways, and promotes the circulation of water and fluid. It can clear the meridians and promote the flow of qi; Poria enters the heart, lung, spleen and kidney meridians, and replenishes the essence of the internal organs; it also has the function of leeches entering the meridians, removing blood stasis, promoting blood circulation, and making the blood vessels unobstructed, and when the blood flows, the water flows; in this way, the five yangs are distributed, the turbidity of the five internal organs is cleansed, and the water and drink disappear on their own; in addition, half of the drugs in this prescription are toxic, and there is a great safety hazard when taken orally. However, when applied externally to the acupuncture points on the body, it can be absorbed into the blood through the skin, which can not only play the function of the acupuncture points, but also does not undergo liver and kidney metabolism, and will not interact with other oral drugs. It has high safety performance and is worthy of promotion and use.
[0013] The compatibility characteristics of the present invention: for the treatment of edema of Yang deficiency and water overflow type, warming Yang and transforming Qi, promoting blood circulation and promoting diuresis are the main methods. The self-prescribed prescription Buyang Dizhuo Powder is rich in medicine, and toxic but effective medicines are selected to warm the Yang Qi of the five internal organs. When the Yang of the five internal organs is strong, water is transformed into Qi, and when Qi moves, water moves, so that the five Yangs are spread, the turbidity of the five internal organs is cleaned, and the edema is eliminated. If there are concurrent symptoms of Yin deficiency, five-heart irritability, dry mouth, etc., Anemarrhena asphodeloides is added to the prescription to nourish Yin and moisten dryness, and Rehmannia glutinosa is added to nourish blood and nourish Yin, and the two are used together to increase the power of nourishing Yin; if there is concurrent blood stasis, Salvia miltiorrhiza and Angelica sinensis are added to the prescription to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and strengthen the effect of promoting blood circulation and promoting diuresis; if there is Qi stagnation, Chai Chenpi and Aucklandia lappa are added to soothe the liver and regulate Qi, and promote Qi and relieve depression, so as to achieve the effect of soothing the liver, regulating Qi and eliminating bloating.

Take 1kg of medicinal powder and prepare 1.3L of boiling water, 1g of benzoic acid dissolved in 75% alcohol, 130g of corn starch diluted and dissolved in water and cooked until sticky, and 10g of borneol dissolved in 75% alcohol; stir the boiling water, crushed medicinal powder, muddy garlic, dissolved benzoic acid, starch paste and dissolved borneol together, knead repeatedly until a uniform ointment is obtained. After the preparation is completed, put it into a sealed container and put it in the refrigerator for later use.
[0066] 3. Take 2g of ointment and flatten it into a diameter of about 2cm and place it on the dressing to make an acupuncture patch for immediate use.
[0067] Usage: Before applying the patch, clean the Sanyinjiao, Xinshu, Yongquan, Shuifen, Shenque, Feishu, Taichong and other acupoints with 0.9% saline solution, wipe dry, and then align the thickest center point of the patch with the corresponding acupoints for application. Apply once a day, 6 hours each time, 7 times in a row as a course of treatment; a total of 3 courses of treatment.
[0068] Acupoints selected from the spleen meridian, kidney meridian, bladder meridian, and Ren meridian. The bladder meridian selects Feishu to replenish lung yang, and Xinshu to replenish heart yang; the spleen meridian selects Sanyinjiao as the meeting point of the liver, spleen, and kidney meridians, treating all three organs at the same time, strengthening the spleen, soothing the liver, and benefiting the kidney; the kidney governs water, and the kidney meridian enhances water metabolism, so the Yongquan point is selected. This place is the essence of the kidney and has the meaning of a spring, and its function is to regulate the water channels; the Ren meridian selects the Shuifen point, which is named after the water is diverted here, and it is good at dividing water and dampness; the Shenque point has weak barrier function and strong permeability, and can harmonize yin and yang, strengthen the body and eliminate evil; Taichong soothes the liver and regulates qi.
[0069] Case 1
[0070] Patient Duan, male, 71 years old, came to the clinic with elevated blood creatinine for more than 9 years and worsening edema in both lower limbs for more than 10 days. The patient complained that he had slight edema in both lower limbs in the past, but did not pay attention to it. In the past 10 days, the edema in both lower limbs was obvious, the face was swollen, accompanied by hiccups, nausea and vomiting, and he usually felt cold and cold limbs, fatigue, sore waist and knees, dizziness from time to time, good appetite, poor sleep, increased nocturia, more than 10 times a night, dry stool, pale and fat tongue with teeth marks, greasy white fur, and weak pulse. Physical examination: moderate edema in both lower limbs, calf circumference 36.5cm, ankle circumference 24cm.
[0071] The patient's syndrome is yang deficiency and water flooding, and the treatment is mainly to warm the yang and transform qi, promote diuresis and reduce swelling. Western medicine gave furosemide 20 mg orally, and then gave acupoint patch treatment prepared in Example 2 of the present invention, and selected Sanyinjiao, Xinshu, Yongquan, Shuifen, Shenque, Feishu, Yinlingquan, and Fenglong acupoints for patch medicine along the spleen meridian, kidney meridian, Renmai, and bladder meridian. Once a day, each time for 6 hours, for 7 consecutive days of intervention. After one week of treatment, all symptoms were reduced, the effect was significant, and the patient's edema subsided significantly, the calf circumference was 34.2cm, and the ankle circumference was 21.8cm.
[0072] Note: The patient has been ill for a long time and has been malnourished, resulting in deficiency of Yang Qi in the five internal organs. Yang deficiency means Yang cannot transform into Qi, and if Qi cannot circulate into water, water and dampness will stagnate inside the body and cause edema. Yang Qi deficiency causes excessive Yin and cold inside the body, and the lungs fail to be warm, resulting in chills and cold limbs. Yang deficiency and instability cause bladder Qi transformation dysfunction, resulting in frequent urination at night. Kidney Yang deficiency causes malnutrition of the waist, resulting in soreness and weakness in the waist and knees. Malnutrition of the heart and spleen, and disharmony of Qi and blood cause fatigue, weakness and poor sleep. If water and dampness invade the body, symptoms such as dizziness, hiccups, nausea and vomiting will occur. In the Buyang Dizhuo Powder formula, the aconite is very hot and helps to transform yang into qi; the gelsemium elegans is pungent and can move through the water channels, clear the meridians, and eliminate diuresis and dampness; the corn silk soothes the liver and promotes bile secretion; the duckweed moves through the lungs and defends the body to relieve exterior symptoms; the garlic relieves stagnant qi in the middle burner; the mugwort circulates the yang of the whole body; the morning glory seeds and stephania tetrandra open the three burners and eliminate diuresis; the poria replenishes the essence of the internal organs; the leech enters the meridians, removes blood stasis, and promotes qi and blood circulation. In addition, the yang of the five internal organs can be spread and circulated, and the function of the meridians and acupoints allows the five yang to be spread, the turbidity of the five internal organs to be cleared, and the water and drink to disappear.

The data of the treatment group and the control group were tested using an independent sample t-test. If the difference between the two groups conformed to the normal distribution, a paired t-test was used. If it did not conform to the normal distribution, a Wilcoxon signed rank test was used. The rank sum test was used for the rank data in the treatment group and the control group, and the chi-square test was used for the count data. p < 0.05 indicated that the difference in the test was statistically significant.
[0137] 3. Test results
[0138] A total of 62 cases that met the criteria were included in this trial, including 32 cases in the treatment group and 30 cases in the control group. In the clinical trial, 2 patients in the treatment group withdrew from the treatment due to allergic reactions. After the completion of the trial, there were 30 cases in each of the treatment group and the control group.
[0139] 1. General data analysis
[0140] Comparison of gender and age between the two groups of patients before treatment: Before treatment, the two groups of patients had no statistical difference in gender, and the two groups were comparable. Before treatment, the two groups of patients had no statistical difference in age, and the two groups were comparable. After independent sample t test, the p values were all > 0.05, indicating that there was no statistical difference in age and disease course between the two groups, and the two groups were comparable (see Table 1 and Table 2).
