A review on the progress of Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis
Severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)is the most serious type of acute pancreatitis(AP),which is often accompanied by systemic inflammatory response syndrome and multiple organ failure.The pathogenic factors of this disease are very complex,and the pathogenesis is not completely clear.It has the characteristics of acute on-set,rapid progress,many complications,long treatment time and high mortality.It is still difficult to completely control the disease progression and improve the prognosis by using traditional Chinese medicine or Western medi-cine alone.The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine shows certain advantages in the treat-ment of SAP.This article summarizes the research on the collaborative treatment of SAP with traditional Chinese and Western medicine in recent years,discusses the pathogenesis of Western medicine,the pathogenesis of tradi-tional Chinese medicine and the research status of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment,and analy-zes the entry point of SAP collaborative treatment of traditional Chinese and Western medicine based on the inte-gration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine pathogenesis.It is confirmed that the collaborative treatment of SAP with traditional Chinese and Western medicine has the advantages of rationality,reliability,effectiveness and development.In the future,it is a valuable research direction to further explore the synergistic treatment of SAP with Chinese and Western medicine.
