Abstract:
Graves'disease,namely toxic diffuse goiter,is an autoimmune disease.Graves'ophthalmopathy is an ocular lesion with hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis dysfunction.Its clinical features are characterized by exophthalmos,eyelid retraction,and delayed upper eyelid.It is often accompanied by eyelid edema,periorbital tissue infiltration,conjunctival erythema,and optic neuropathy.In clinic,Graves'ophthalmopathy has the characteristics of high incidence,rapid progression,high recurrence rate and single treatment.Therefore,Graves'ophthalmopathy has become one of the common refractory diseases in clinic.Professor KUI Yu believes that Graves'ophthalmopathy belongs to the category of'exophthalmos'in traditional Chinese medicine.He believes that the disease is located in the eye and is closely related to the liver,spleen and kidney.Qi stagnation,blood stasis and phlegm coagulation are important pathological factors in the process of disease occurrence and development.For the treatment of Graves'ophthalmopathy,Professor KUI Yu attaches great importance to the combination of whole and local thinking.Through the flexible use of a variety of external treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine,the treatment path of Graves'ophthalmopathy is summarized as"abdominal acupuncture,collateral bloodletting and auricular point seed-pressing".The comprehensive treatment of abdominal acupuncture,collateral bloodletting and auricular point seed-pressing and other external treatment methods with traditional Chinese medicine characteristics has definite clinical efficacy and is worthy of summary and promotion.
