Treatment Strategy of Leukopenia After Chemotherapy with Traditional Chinese Medicine from the Generation and Transmission of Defense Qi
and leukocytes in terms of function, site of action, and circadian rhythm, it is proposed that in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the pathogenesis of leukopenia is defense
qi
deficiency. By analyzing the relevant discussions on the generation and transmission of defense
qi
in TCM classics, it is believed that the original
qi
in lower
jiao
(焦) is the source of defense
qi
, while the water and grain
qi
in middle
jiao
enriches defense
qi
, and the upper
jiao
transmits and distributes defense
qi
to the whole body. Therefore, when treating leukopenia after chemotherapy with TCM,
Guilu Erxian Gelatin
(龟鹿二仙胶) and
Yougui Pill
(右归丸) are often used to tonify the kidney and supplement essence, and moxibustion at
Guanyuan
(CV 4) and
Qihai
(CV 6) is usually accompanied to replenish the original
qi
in lower
jiao
and enrich the source of defense
qi
.
Guipi Decoction
(归脾汤),
Buzhong Yiqi Decoction
(补中益气汤),
Shenling Baizhu Powder
(参苓白术散), and
Sijunzi Decoction
(四君子汤) are often suggested to strengthen spleen and replenish
qi
, in combination with moxibustion at
Zhongwan
(CV 12) and
Zusanli
(ST 36) to transport the spleen and stomach in the middle
jiao
to enrich the defense
qi
. Modified
Guizhi Decoction
(桂枝汤) to harmonize nutrient and defensive aspects is often used, and moxibustion at
Dazhui
(GV 14) and
Feishu
(BL 13) or scraping is added to dredge the striae and interstice in the upper
jiao
and promote transmission and dissemination of the defense
qi
. Considering the whole process of generation and distribution of defense
qi
, it is suggested to choose the most appropriate treatment modality flexibly, and combine internal treatment with external treatment, in order to provide ideas for the treatment of leukopenia in tumour patients.
