特发性肺纤维化（IPF）作为慢性复杂性疾病之一,发病率、致死率较高,是现代医学面临的治疗难题,中医药辨证论治,体现出一定特色和优势。近年来,络病理论指导慢性复杂性疾病的防治成为医学研究的热点和前沿,并取得一定的成效,本文以络病理论为基础,总结肺络的结构和功能,进而根据络病理论和肺络的结构、功能特点,结合特发性肺纤维化的临床表现,提出其急性发作期的根本病机为“肺热络瘀”,为进一步探究特发性肺纤维化急性发作期的辨证防治奠定理论基础。

Structures and Functions of Pulmonary Collaterals and Pathogenesis Called "Fei-Re Luo-Yu" of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in its Acute Phase

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF), as one of the chronic and complex diseases, is with high incidence and mortality rate. It is also a difficult to treat disease in modern medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation and treatment embodies characteristics and advantages. In recent years, the collateral disease theory guiding the prevention and treatment of the chronic and complex diseases has become a hot point and frontier in medical research, and achieved certain effects. This article is to summary the structures and functions of pulmonary collaterals based on the collateral disease theory. Combined with clinical manifestations of IPF, we put forward "Fei-Re Luo-Yu" as the fundamental role in the pathogenesis of IPF in its acute phase to lay the theoretical foundation to the further exploration of syndrome prevention and differentiation on IPF in its acute exacerbation.
