The Pathogenic Evolution and Therapeutic Approaches of Rheumatoid Arthritis Complicated by Sarcopenia Based on the Theory of 'Bi (痹) of both Body and Viscera'
matically discussed the pathogenic evolution of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) complicated by sarcopenia from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is proposed that a transformation pathway is muscle
bi
to spleen
bi
and then atrophy
bi
, and the core pathogenesis is diaharmony of
ying
(营) and
wei
(卫). Combining modern molecular biology research, it is suggested that imbalances in skeletal muscle homeostasis mediated by the tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis-ibroblast growth factor-inducible 14 (TWEAK-Fn14) axis may provide the material basis for the evolution of this disease. Furthermore, this authors proposed TCM treatment strategies, including "regulating and tonifying
ying
and
wei
, warming
yang
and moving
bi
, nourishing the viscera by supporting the body", and "promoting the spleen and resolving turbidity, clearing heat and promoting circulation, regulating the organs and calming the body". These strategies emphasize the simultaneous treatment of body and viscera, integrated prevention and treatment, so as to provide TCM theoretical foundation and clinical approaches for preventing and treating RA complicated by sarcopenia.
