OBSERVATIONS ON THE TREATMENT OF ALLERGIC RHINITIS WITH THE METHOD OF INVIGORATING VITAL ENERGY AND STRENGTHENING THE BODY SURFACE RESISTANCE

摘要

From clinical practice,the authors concluded that the principal pathogenic factor in allergicrhinitis is deficient resistance of the the body surface,and the patient is exposed to invasionof wind-evil.495 cases of the allergic rhinitis have been treated with the method of invigo-rating vital energy and strengthening the body surface resistance (Bu Qi Gu Biao 补气固表);the total effective rate was 84%,and the recurrence rate was 13.2% in a follow-up of 2years.The changes in plasma cyclic nucleotides of the patients,and the ultrastructure of na-sal mucosa of patients and animal models were also observed before and after treatment.The results showed that the TCM therapy tended to normalize the plasma cyclic nucleotidelevel,to improve the morphology and function of cells and organelles,to restore the functionof mucosal cilia,to reduce the infiltration of eosinophils and their degranulation,to reducetissue edema,and to eliminate the deposit of immune complexes.
