Abstract:
This paper summarized the experience of Professor FANG Dingya in staged treatment of Sjögren's syndrome from the perspective of dryness toxin. It is believed that the cause of Sjögren's syndrome is externally-contracted dryness， consumption of essence and fluid， congenital and acquired essence deficiency， depleted essence and insufficient blood， and the core mechanism is internal accumulation of dryness toxin. The treatment can be divided into three stages， that is dryness toxin transforming into fire-heat， damp-heat and phlegm-stasis， from the perspective of dryness metal qi transformation. It is emphasized to dispel pathogen mainly， to clear and moisten with yin-nourishing medicinals in supplementation， and to treat by stages based on syndrome differentiation. For dryness toxin with fire-heat， it is suggested to moisten dryness， resolve toxins and subdue fire， with self-made Runzao Jiedu Decoction （润燥解毒汤） in modification. For dryness toxin with damp-heat， the method of nourishing yin， clearing heat and draining dampness should be used， and Chunze Decoction （春泽汤） in modification is suggested. For dryness toxin with phlegm-stasis， it is recommended to unblock collaterals， disperse phlegm and dissipate stasis， with self-made Sanyu Xiaotan Decoction （散瘀消痰汤） in modification.
