Prevention and Treatment of Nodules-cancer Transformation of Pulmonary Nodules based on “Ying-wei (营卫)-lung collaterals” Relationship
(营卫) is divided into two lines, with interactive penetration and mutual infiltration of
qi
and blood, and can resist external external pathogens. All these physiologcial functions are depended on the special structure of lung collaterals, which are tiny and thready, distributed in network with end communication, and scattered widely in the skin and body hair. Disharmony between
Ying
and
wei
leads to change in the structure of pulmonary collaterals, which is closely related to the malignant progressive process of nodules-cancer transformation. Therefore, we believe that the dynamic evolution of pulmonary nodules is initiated from “
wei yang
failing to warm, cold-dampness accumulation, and deficiency of lung collaterals”, gradually formed due to “disorder of
ying
-
wei qi
, damage of lung collaterals, and intermingled phlegm and blood stasis”, and deteriorated if there is “depletion of
Ying
-
wei
and lung collaterals, and internal generation of cancer toxin”. On the basis of incongruence between
ying
-
wei
and lung collaterals as well as the imaging features, lifestyle adjustment and non-pharmacological treatment are suggested in the initial stage. In the formation stage, it is appropriate to disperse phlegm and dispel stasis, unblock and harmonize
ying
-
wei
, and dredge the lung collaterals. In the deteriorated stage, it is necessary to resolve toxins and dissipate masses, reinforce healthy
qi
and consolidate the root, and unblock and replenish the lung collaterals. All mentioned above may provide ideas for using traditional Chinese medicine to prevent and treat lung nodules, and to intervene in the transformation of nodules-cancer.
