The combination of disease and Zheng (syndrome) on the basic of differentiation of six channels:a new pattern of disease diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine

摘要

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was formed two thousand years ago, and developed in the following centuries. TCM has a unique way of looking at health and illness. Zheng (syndrome) is the basic unit and key term in TCM theory. Zheng is the pathological generalization of a certain stage in the development of disease. Treatment based on syndrome differentiation and disease differentiation of TCM is the basic principle to know and treat diseases, and a kind of special method to study diseases in TCM. In Han Dynasty (200 AD), doctor Zhang Zhongjing proposed Liujing Bianzheng (the differential diagnosis in accordance with the theory of six channels) to diagnose and treat diseases in Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases. In other words, he divided diseases into six channels diseases based on patient's Zhengs. Six channels diseases almost include all of the disease according to his classification standards. In addition, there are development rules in the progress of six channels diseases. Therefore, we hypothesized that combination of six channels disease and Zheng on the basic of differentiation of six channels is a new pattern of diagnosis and treatment diseases in TCM, which is beneficial to the understanding of a certain disease and makes disease treatment more convenient, fast and effective.%传统中医形成于2000多年前并且一直发展至今,中医治疗疾病的角度有其特殊性.证是传统中医理论中的重要概念.证是对机体在疾病发展过程中某一阶段的病理概括.辨证论治是中医认识疾病和治疗疾病的基本原则,是中医学对疾病的一种特殊的研究和处理方法.在东汉时期,医圣张仲景在《伤寒杂病论》中提出了用六经辨证的方法去诊断和治疗疾病.他根据病人证的不同把疾病分成了六种疾病即六经病.根据张仲景的分类标准,六经病几乎可以包含所有的疾病.而且,六经病的传变是有规律的.因此,我们提出了一个新的假说:在六经辨证的基础上通过病证结合进行中医诊断及治疗,从而有利于我们更好地把握和理解疾病,使疾病的治疗更加方便、快捷、有效.
