Pathogenesis of Chronic Digestive Diseases after Cholecystectomy Based on the Theory of"Shaoyang is the first source of vitality"
Many patients after cholecystectomy may experience digestive system complications and sequelae,such as post-cholecystectomy syndrome,chronic gastritis,recurrent stones,digestive system tumors,etc.Currently,the research on the patho-genesis of these diseases in traditional Chinese medicine is not yet complete.This article will comprehensively elaborate on the ori-gin and development of the Qing Dynasty physician Shen Jin'ao's theory that"Shaoyang is the first source of vitality"by collecting and sorting out ancient literature on the physiological and pathological features of Shaoyang and the gallbladder in traditional Chi-nese medicine.Based on this,and in conjunction with previous research achievements in the pathogenesis of traditional Chinese and Western medicine,combined with the differentiation of the six meridians,this article will comprehensively explore the patho-genesis of related diseases.By carefully identifying the pathogenesis of these diseases and establishing hierarchical relationships between them,we can more systematically and profoundly elucidate that the dysfunction of Shaoyang qi after cholecystectomy may cause organ dysfunction at multiple levels,such as Yangming,Shaoyin,and Jueyin,ultimately leading to corresponding chronic digestive system diseases.
