Discussion on the treatment of inflammation-cancer transformation of Helicobacter pylori gastritis from'damp-heat causing blood stasis and poisoning'
Helicobacter pylori infection is the main cause of chronic gastritis,which can accelerate the transformation of chronic gastritis into gastric cancer,and is a risk factor for precancerous lesions of gastric cancer.Professor LYU Wenliang believes that Helicobacter pylori is an exogenous pathogenic factor of damp,heat and toxin,which is combined with endogenous humid heat,hidden in the middle Jiao.During prolonged course,dampness and heat transform into toxicity and blood stasis,which damages the stomach collaterals.And it is the key turning point in the transformation of gastritis to gastric cancer.In view of the pathogenesis characteristics of damp and heat,causing stasis and poisoning,professor LYU regards eliminating pathogenic factors,clearing evil and strengthening the body as the treatment principle.He grasps the pathogenesis characteristics of each stage in treatment.In the early stage,clearing heat and dampness should be used.And in the middle and late stage,attention should be paid to cooperating with activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis and detoxification.At the same time,both promoting normal and nourishing yin should be taken into account to help dispel stasis and heat.
