Raynaud syndrome is a clinical syndrome characterized by paroxysmal vasospasms of the acral small arteries,and its pathogenesis is closely associated with the dynamic imbalance of yin and yang as elucidated by the theory of"yang transforming qi and yin shaping up body."The theory of"yang transforming qi and yin shaping up body"originated in Huangdi Neijing,which is aimed at that yang can be tangible essence,blood,fluid,and other substances belonging to the yin into an invisible qi,promote the internal and external zang-fu organs and qi of the body's operation;yin qi is transformed into tangible substances under the gasification effect of yang qi to nourish the organism,to consolidate the essence of internal zang-fu organs,and to maintain the balance of yin and yang in the body.This study innovatively employs this theory to systematically elucidate the dynamic pathomechanism evolution of Raynaud syndrome:at the beginning of the disease,the ischemic stage is dominated by the deficiency of yang qi and the inability of qi to transform yin;then the disease enters into the hypoxic stage and the dilatation stage,which are mostly caused by the lack of yang depression,the blockage of qi,and the over-excessive formation of yin;and finally,the yang transforms qi too much and yin is damaged and weak,and then reaches the stage of complication.In Raynaud syndrome,the key mechanism and pathology of"yang transforming qi"and"yin shaping up body"as well as the stage of the disease should be clarified,so that yang qi can be used as the basis to make up for yang deficiency,yang depression can be stretched out,yin evils such as cold condensation,blood stasis and water dampness can be transformed,heat and toxin can be eliminated,yin fluids can be restored,and the extremities can be warmed up.The disease will be convalesced gradually.
