Discussion on the Scientific Connotation of Fortifying Spleen,Resolving Phlegm and Dispelling Stasis in the Treatment of Coronary Heart Disease under the Guidance of Dysfunctional High-Density Lipoprotein
The key pathogenesis of coronary heart disease(CHD)is spleen deficiency and phlegm stasis,and dysfunctional high-density lipoprotein(dys-HDL)may be the biological basis for the occurrence of CHD due to spleen deficiency and phlegm stasis.Considering the biological properties and effects of high-density lipoprotein(HDL),it is believed that the structure and components of HDL are abnormal in the state of spleen deficiency which led to dys-HDL;and dys-HDL contributes to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques through two major pathways,namely,mediating the dysfunction of endothelial cells and mediating the foaminess of macrophages and smooth muscle cells,thus triggering the development of CHD.It is also believed that dys-HDL is a microcosmic manifestation and a patho-logical product of spleen deficiency,and spleen deficiency makes foundation for the production of dys-HDL;dys-HDL is also an important biological basis for the phlegm-stasis interactions in CHD.The method of fortifying spleen,resolving phlegm,and dispelling stasis,is proposed as an important principle in the treatment of CHD by traditional Chinese medicine,which can achieve the therapeutic purpose by affecting the changes in the structure and components of dys-HDL,thus revealing the scientific connotation of this method,and providing ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of CHD by traditional Chinese medicine.
