Based on the common characteristics of Qi Luo-NEI network,the treatment of epilepsy is explored and analyzed
In recent years,the neuro-endocrine-immune(NEI)network has emerged as a prominent research focus within the field of medical biology.This network signifies the interrelated mechanisms of mutual regulation and influence among the nervous,endocrine,and immune systems.The Qi-luo is a network of qi that operates within the human body,which maintains the stability of life activities and the internal environment of the human body.The Qi-luo and NEI networks exhibit a high degree of correlation and share commonalities in both functional and structural aspects.The pathophysiology of epilepsy is associated with the dysregulation of the Qi-luo and NEI networks.According to the theory of Qi-luo,the basic pathological mechanism of epilepsy is deficiency(deficiency of health,qi deficiency,kidney deficiency),blood stasis,phlegm and toxicity.It is advocated to give priority to replenishing qi,activating blood,and detoxicating.Epilepsy that lasts long and doesn't cure is related to the deficiency of vital energy,imbalance of organs,blood stasis,phlegm and brain dam-age due to toxicity.Therefore,in the treatment,it is advisable to combine the common characteristics of Qi-luo and NEI network,and take replenishing qi,activating blood and detoxicating as the main principles.It has certain positive signifi-cance for deepening the understanding of epilepsy pathogenesis and the theory of collaterals disease.This study has impor-tant value for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy and the theoretical research of collaterals disease.
