The prevention and treatment of lung nodules node-cancer transformation based on the theory of Yin fire
Pulmonary nodules are very common in clinical practice,but because there are no specific symptoms and no tumor is formed,most patients cannot be detected in time or do not pay too much attention,and the disease is prolonged for a long time,and some of them transform into cancer.The transformation of lung nodules into lung cancer is a dynamic process,and the essence of Qi(气)and fire disorder is explained from the physiological pathology of Qi and fire.The dominant aspect of Qi and fire disorder lies in fire,and the loss of vitality and spleen and stomach are the main causes of lung nodules.The Yin(阴)fire theory is from Huangdi Neijing(《黄帝内经》).In this paper,the relationship between cancer transformation and tumor angiogenesis is explored around the relationship between Qi and fire,which is also a basic generalization of the unstable state changes of energy and metabolic interactions.Yin fire starts from the deficiency of vitality,and spleen and stomach deficiency causes water and grain essence distribution disorder,resulting in metabolic disorders.After a long stay,phlegm and stasis are formed,and they compete with blood vessels,resulting in changes in the local microenvironment,making tumor angiogenesis,and further accelerating the progress of lung cancer.Yin fire creates conditions for the occurrence of tumors,provides power for tumor growth,and creates an environment for tumor metastasis.Under the guidance of the theory of Yin fire,based on the evolution process of"deficiency-Qi-fire-phlegm-stasis-poison",it is proposed to strengthen the spleen and stomach,replenish vitality,and purge Yin fire,so as to adjust the metabolic function of epithelial cells in the body,achieve a stable state of the body,and then inhibit tumor angiogenesis,improve the tumor microenvironment,and delay the process of nodular carcinogenesis to inhibit lung cancer.
