SHU Qijin's Experience in Treating Hand-foot Skin Reaction
[Objective]To summarize the clinical experience of Professor SHU Qijin in treating hand-foot skin reaction(HFSR),and to provide some references for clinical practice.[Methods]By following clinical work,collecting clinical cases and analysing research,this paper comprehensively summarizes four key aspects of Professor SHU Qijin's experience in HFSR:etiology and pathogenesis,syndrome differentiation,treatment principles and methods,and curative doctrine and medication.In support of this,classical medical cases are presented below.[Results]Professor SHU Qijin proposes that"heat toxin-induced blood stasis"is the core pathogenesis of HFSR,which occurs throughout the whole disease,with heat toxin,blood stasis,dampness,blood deficiency,wind-dryness and other pathogenic factors mixing and transforming each other.According to the different stages of HFSR,it is classified into three types:heat-toxic syndrome,dampness-heat stasis syndrome,and blood deficiency and wind-dryness syndrome,and a series of formulas called Shouzuning Decoctions(SND)have been created according to the syndromes.The two medical cases represented three types of HFSR,which were treated by clearing heat and detoxifying,cooling blood and eliminating skin lesions;promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis,clearing heat and dampness;nourishing blood and moistening dryness,dispelling pathogenic wind and dredging collaterals,respectively,with precise therapeutic effects.[Conclusion]Professor SHU Qijin's treatment of HFSR is based on"heat toxin-induced blood stasis".According to the different clinical symptoms of patients,Professor SHU is flexible in prescribing with remarkable clinical efficacy,which is worth promoting and learning from.
