ABSTRACT

The two injuries of fluid and qi are the pathological basis of atrophy syndrome,and also the result of the imbalance of"yang transforming into qi,yin forming shape".Deficiency of yang transforming into qi,imbalance of yin forming shape would result in dysfunction of visceral functions,internal generation of water,phlegm,and blood stasis,and loss of nourishment in limbs and nine orifices,and then later result in atrophy syndrome.Based on the theory of"yang transforming into qi,yin forming shape",this article discussed Professor Gao Ying's treatment of myasthenia gravis with insufficient yang transforming into qi by using the method of promoting yang transforming into qi;the method of tonifying the kidney and regulating the shape could be used to treat multiple sclerosis with imbalance in yin forming shape;yin-yang tonifying method could be used to treat motor neuron disease with both yin and yang damaged.In the treatment of atrophy syndrome,it is necessary to examine the syndrome and seek the cause,distinguish between yin and yang,adjust biases,and provide TCM treatment in the early stages of the disease to delay the progression of the disease and improve prognosis.
