Abstract:
Pi-Wei theory is an important component of the basic theory of Chinese medicine. The pathogenesis of Pi-Wei damp-heat syndrome is an important content of Pi-Wei theory. The tongue coating is one of the most important signs reflecting Pi-Wei damp-heat syndrome. From the perspective of microecology and pathogenesis, the microbial disequilibrium caused by quantity changes of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) and Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA) and their interaction in the gastric mucosa and the tongue coating might have certain correlation with "mutual struggle between the evil and the vital qi, the disequilibrium between yin and yang". The pathogenesis features of chronic gastritis patients of Pi-Wei damp-heat syndrome was initially proposed in this article.
