Abstract:
This study explored the pathogenesis and treatment of postoperative pulmonary nodules from the perspective of deficient qi resulting into retention of pathogens,thus to expand the approach to its diagnosis and treatment.It is believed that deficient qi resulting into retention of pathogens contributes to the key pathogenesis of pulmonary nodules.As the root cause of the disease,deficient qi usually involves the deficiency of the lung and spleen.And as the incidental manifestations,retention of pathogens refers to the accumulation of pathological products such as stagnated qi,phlegm-stasis,and turbid toxins in the lung collaterals.The pathogenesis of postoperative pulmonary nodules is characterized by the collapse of pectoral qi,aggravated deficient qi,and the lingering presence of the relieved qi stagnation,phlegm-stasis,and turbid toxins.Based on the pathogenesis of deficient qi resulting into retention of pathogens,the treatment principles for postoperative pulmonary nodules should focus on tonifying deficiency and lifting collapse,and relieving qi stagnation and unblocking obstruction.Tonifying deficiency needs to prioritize strengthening the spleen and nourishing the lung to go first,lifting collapse aims at elevating the pectoral qi,relieving qi stagnation focuses on regulating qi and harmonizing the liver,and unblocking obstruction mainly involves resolving phlegm-stasis and eliminating turbid toxins.The pathogenesis of deficient qi resulting into retention of pathogens aligns with the pathological features and syndrome evolution of postoperative pulmonary nodules,and will provide dynamic and systematic guidance for its clinical diagnosis and treatment.
