Analysis of Application of Disease Differentiation Thinking in Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Miscellaneous Diseases
Disease differentiation thinking refers to the clinical thinking that accurately understands the overall attributes,characteristics and regularities of the whole process of disease,and applies corresponding treatment methods.The application of disease differentiation thinking in diagnosis and treatment can avoid the mechanization of syndrome differentiation and treatment,and avoid falling into the misunderstanding of emphasizing one-sided clinical manifestations and ignoring the overall pathogenesis.By analyzing Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Miscellaneous Diseases with disease differentiation thinking,we can clarify the modern clinical significance of diagnosis and treatment methods in the classics,better analyze the meaning of the provisions,and apply modern medical understanding to expand the indications of formulas.The emphasis on disease differentiation and treatment is not to deny syndrome differentiation and treatment,but to emphasize the organic combination of both.We should not focus merely on syndrome differentiation and ignore disease differentiation.Syndrome differentiation and treatment should be based on holism led by disease differenti-ation thinking.We advocate the clinical thinking mode of disease differentiation first and combination of disease and syndrome.
