Abstract:
YE Tianshi possessed a comprehensive theoretical system and extensive therapeutic experience in the treatment of warm disease caused by latent pathogenic qi,all of which was recorded in his medical records.YE Tianshi elucidated the characteristics of the pathogenesis of the three types of warm disease caused by latent pathogenic qi,namely spring warmth,summer heat,and winter warmth,and explained the pathogenesis of latent pathogenic qi from the perspective of vital qi and pathogen,and pointed out that the weakness of vital qi and the pathogenic qi led to the concealment of pathogenic qi,and that the struggle between vital qi and pathogen led to the onset of latent pathogenic qi.In the treatment,YE Tianshi emphasized the importance of clearly identifying the level of qi and blood in the internal organs where the latent pathogenic qi is located,and focused on the syndrome differentiation of weifen,qifen,yingfen,and xuefen,and combined with the syndrome differentiation of zang-fu viscera,the principle and method of treatment and medication law of warm disease caused by latent pathogenic qi were formulated.Although warm disease caused by latent pathogenic qi is a heat syndrome,YE Tianshi also attached importance to the deficiency and excess of yang qi,pointed out that latent pathogenic qi had the possibility of transforming into cold syndrome,and discussed the rules of medication for cold latent pathogenic qi in the spleen,kidney,and eight extraordinary meridians.YE Tianshi's treatment of warm disease caused by latent pathogenic qi not only emphasizes the nourishment of yin,but also emphasizes clearing qi and blood,and the circulation of qi in order to clear and penetrate the evil qi;he also pays attention to the sanjiao transmission of the latent pathogenic evil.The study of the law of YE Tianshi's differentiation and treatment of warm disease caused by latent pathogenic qi may provide ideas for the clinical treatment of COVID-19,as well as diseases in various disciplines.
