Abstract:
Professor Liu Fengbin,a renowned traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)expert in Guangdong Province,specializes in treating digestive system disorders of hepatobiliary and splenic diseases with Chinese herbal medicine,and has accumulated extensive experience in intervening viral hepatitis type B and hepatitis B-related liver fibrosis.Professor Liu proposes that dampness,heat,stasis,toxin,and deficiency are the primary pathogenic factors of hepatitis B-related liver fibrosis.The disease is rooted in the liver,and is also closely related to the spleen and kidney and involves the gallbladder,stomach,and triple energizer.Based on TCM dialectical thinking and years of clinical practice,Professor Liu summarized the"eight methods for treating liver diseases"for intervening hepatitis B-related liver fibrosis with Chinese medicine,i.e.,method of activating the spleen and stomach,method of clearing heat and dispelling dampness,method of dispelling dampness and resolving turbidity,method of enriching yin and subduing fire,method of warming yang and tonifying the kidney,method of softening the liver and nourishing blood,method of activating blood circulation and softening hardness,and method of calming the mind and improving sleep.In clinical practice,these methods are flexibly combined based on patients'syndrome types and manifestations.Moreover,Professor Liu is skilled in using herbal groups having Lingnan medicinal characteristics,such as herbal group for clearing heat and removing toxin,and draining dampness to relieve jaundice which is composed of Mallotus Apelta Radix et Rhizoma,Abri Herba and Phyllanthi Urinariae Herba,herbal group for promoting digestion to remove food retention which is composed of Fermentum Rubrum,Crataegi Fructus and Hordei Fructus Germinatus,herbal group for removing blood and eliminating mass group which is composed of vinegar-processed Curcumae Rhizoma,vinegar-processed Trionycis Carapax and Eupolyphaga Steleophaga,and herbal group for protecting liver and lowering enzyme which is composed of Hoveniae Semen and Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus.Professor Liu's medication experience for intervening hepatitis B-related liver fibrosis will provide valuable references for TCM clinical practice in the management of liver diseases.
