Professor HUA Baojin's Thought in Preventing and Treating Radiation Pneumonitis by Regulating Qi and Removing Toxin
Radiation pneumonitis is the result of the invasion of fire from radiation into the lung,which results in internal accumu-lation of excessive heat,qi and yin deficiency,blood stasis obstructing collaterals,and qi movement disorder,in which the internal accumulation of excessive heat and qi movement disorder are the core pathogenesis.According to the theory of regulating qi and re-moving toxin,Professor HUA Baojin flexibly uses the methods of clearing heat and removing toxin,replenishing qi and nourishing yin,activating blood and resolving stasis,and regulating qi movement,with consideration to both local parts and the whole body as well as the combination of disease differentiation and syndrome differentiation.Professor Hua suggests prevention before disease on-set,controlling development of existing disease at the acute stage,and preventing the recurrence after recovery,giving insights into the prevention and treatment of radioactive pneumonia,which has a good clinical value.
