Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To explore a synergistic medication strategy integrating stage-specific modifications of Bushen huoxue decoction with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). METHODS The connotation of Academician Tong Xiaolin’s “state-target differentiation and treatment” theory and the disease stage characteristics of POI were summarized. The latent stage, subclinical stage, clinical stage and exhaustion stage of POI were classified into corresponding core pathogenesis “states” and key objective indicator “targets”. Taking Bushen huoxue decoction as the basic prescription, its staged modification scheme and its sequential combination with HRT were analyzed. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The four stages of POI correspond to four pathogenic states respectively: kidney yin deficiency, kidney deficiency and blood stasis, heart-kidney disharmony, and deficiency of both yin and yang. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), antral follicle count (AFC) and Kupperman score were taken as the evaluation targets of staging. Combined with the “state-target” characteristics of each stage, a medication principle based on Bushen huoxue decoction with syndrome differentiation modification and stage-adjusted administration was established: traditional Chinese medicine dominates in the latent stage, a sequential collaborative regimen is adopted in the subclinical stage, HRT is dominant supplemented by traditional Chinese medicine in the clinical stage, and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine is applied to consolidate the root cause in the exhaustion stage.
