Abstract:
The pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease is related to the imbalance of viscera,qi,blood,and yin and yang. Some Parkinson's symptoms show opposite characteristics and abnormal constraints because of the influence of its complex pathogenesis. At the qi transformation level,static tremor and muscular rigidity exhibit two opposite states of yang qi:dispersion and contraction. At the spirit level,the sleep disorder of rapid eye movement is caused by the abnormal constraint of the soul on the corporeal soul. The liver is in charge of ascending,whereas the lung is in charge of descending. The liver prefers to disperse,whereas the lung prefers to converge;the lung restrains the liver,and metal (representing the lungs) overcomes wood (representing the liver). Therefore,the liver and lung also possess opposing and mutually restraining characteristics. This study explored the correlation between the liver and lung of patients with Parkinson's disease at the three levels of spirit,qi transformation,and viscera based on the theory of "restraining excessiveness to acquire harmony". It established the connection between motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease through the interaction of these three factors. The study elaborated on the generation of symptoms and treatment options for both motor and non-motor symptoms. Under physiological conditions,the liver and lung maintain a dynamic equilibrium of " restraining excessiveness from acquiring harmony" through restraint without suppression,promoting coexistence and harmony. However,under pathological conditions,the functions of the spirit,qi transformation,and viscera of the liver and lung may exhibit abnormalities,and they could mutually influence each other. This study investigated the "restraining excessiveness to achieve harmony" relationship between the liver and lung,focusing on spirit,qi transformation,and viscera levels. The aim of this study was to deepen the understanding of the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease and to offer novel insights into its clinical diagnosis and treatment.
