Abstract:
Type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） can be categorized into “xiao ke （消渴）” in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. The theory of “yin restricts fire” originates from Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor （《黄帝内经》） which states that “yin essence restricts chief fire”， and the crucial pathogenesis and treatment of xiao ke coincide with this theory. ZHANG Zhongjing，s three prescriptions of Jizizhuang （egg yolk） are Baihe Jizizi Decoction （百合鸡子汤）， Huanglian Ejiao Decoction （黄连阿胶汤） and Painong Powder （排脓散）， which are scattered in different chapters of Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases （《伤寒杂病论》）. By analyzing and summarizing the mechanism and characteristics of the three prescriptions， it is found that the three prescriptions are in line with the characteristics of “yin restricts fire” and the pathogenesis of T2DM. These three prescriptions are composed of Jizizhuang and different medicinals. Baihe Jizizi Decoction is composed of Jizizhuang and Baihe （Bulbus Lilii）， and can be used to treat T2DM and mental diseases. Huanglian Ejiao Decoction is composed of Jizihuang， Ejiao （Colla Corii Asini）， Shaoyao （Radix Paeoniae Alba seu Rubra）， Huanglian （Rhizoma Coptidis） and Huangqin （Radix Scutellariae）， which could be used to treat T2DM and cardiorenal system diseases. Painong Powder is composed of Jizizhuang， Shaoyao， Jiegeng （Radix Platycodonis） and Zhishi （Fructus Aurantii Immaturus）， which can be used to treat T2DM and carbuncle. Therefore， based on the theory of “yin restricts fire” and “many different diseases can be treated in the same wa”， this paper propose that the three Jizihuang prescriptions could be used in T2DM， which could provide ideas for clinical treatment.
