Discussion on the Relationship between Intestinal Flora Dysregulation and Atherosclerosis Based on"One Qi Circulation"Theory
The"one Qi circumference"is a high generalization of the Qi movement circulation,that is,the spleen and stomach are in the middle,the liver wood rises to the left,the lung gold falls to the right,and the Qi of the whole body is endless,which is of great significance in maintaining the balance of the intestinal flora.If the"one Qi circumference"is not smooth,the Qi,blood and fluid run abnormally,intestinal flora dysregulation,and the pathological products such as fire,phlegm and blood stasis are cluster,which activates the inflammatory reaction,damages the arterial blood vessels,and then leads to the formation of atherosclerosis(AS).The primary task of treating AS is to pay attention to harmonizing middle Qi,extinguishing Yin fire and regulating intestinal state,so as to restore the"one Qi circumference",eliminate inflammatory reaction and regulate the balance of flora.Based on the theory of"one Qi circulation",this paper aims to explore the the relationship between intestinal flora dysregulation and AS,in order to broaden the new ideas of clinical treatment of AS.
