Pathogenesis of Refractory Rheumatoid Arthritis with Healthy Qi Deficiency and Toxins Accumulation
Refractory rheumatoid arthritis belongs to the category of "stubborn
bi
(痹)" and "lame
bi
" in traditional Chinese medicine. It is believed that pathogenic toxin is an important pathogenic factor of refractory rheumatoid arthritis, and "healthy
qi
deficiency and toxins accumulation" is its core pathogenesis. Pathogenic toxin can be divided into latent and internal toxin, among which latent toxin includes congenital latent toxin and acquired exogenous and drug-induced latent toxin; and internal toxin is directly produced by the dysfunction of the body's
zang
-
fu
(脏腑) organs, or is transformed from dampness, turbidity, phlegm and stasis. Pathogenic toxin can flow into the meridians and collaterals, quickly corrode the bones and joints, harm the five
zang
organs, secretly consume the body's healthy
qi
, and accumulate and entrench. Based on this, the treatment principle of "reinforcing healthy
qi
and resolving toxins" has been established, emphasizing that the key is to strengthen the origin of the body's healthy
qi
and to attack the pathogenic toxin from its weakness. In clinical practice, it is suggested to trace the root cause, and treat the disease based on the cause. Besides reinforcing the body's healthy
qi
, the methods such as clearing heat to resolve toxins, draining dampness to resolve toxins, dispell
ing wind to remove toxins, dispersing cold to resolve toxins, dissolving phlegm to resolve toxins, and dispersing stasis to resolve toxins can be supplemented, so as to reinforce the healthy
qi
and dispel pathogens simultaneously and thereby improving the clinical efficacy.
