Brief analysis of treating ulcerative colitis from the spleen
Clinically,ulcerative colitis(UC)is one of the common inflammatory intestinal diseases with unclear pathogenesis,high morbidity,and easy recurrence.Its pathogenesis,diagnosis,and treatment are currently hot spots in medical research.TCM holds that spleen deficiency is the fundamental pathogenesis of UC,resulting in dysfunction in transportation,thus further leading to loss of control over ascending and descending of qi,which is prone to diarrhea.Therefore,taking the spleen as the foundation and treating UC from the spleen is the key to treatment.Modern research has found that treating UC from the spleen can affect the occurrence and development of UC by maintaining the homeostasis of intestinal flora,regulating mitochondrial metabolism,and balancing intestinal immune function.Thus,based on the relevant mechanisms of treating UC from the spleen,this article aims to explore the role of treating UC from the spleen,taking strengthening the spleen as the core,combined with other treatment methods such as drying dampness,soothing the liver,and warming the kidney,hoping to provide new diagnostic perspectives and therapeutic ideas for effective treatment of UC.
