金实教授以益肾通络法论治类风湿性关节炎继发骨质疏松症

类风湿性关节炎是临床常见的慢性全身免疫性疾病, 金实教授认为该病始于先天肾精亏虚, 长期病程中因气血化生乏源，运行不畅, 滋生凝痰败瘀, 药物使用及肢体残疾亦会加重这一本虚标实之证。骨络是运行气血的细微结构, 常因气血虚弱而发生虚损, 亦易为凝痰败瘀所痹阻; 骨络功能缺失, 骨髓失以濡养, 以致骨枯髓减, 从而继发骨质疏松症。金实教授以肾精亏虚、骨络痹阻为类风湿性关节炎继发骨质疏松症的核心病机, 采用益肾通络的治则治法进行遣方用药, 取得了较好的临床疗效。 

Professor Jin Shi's Experience in Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis with A Secondary Osteoporosis by Benefiting the Kidney and Unblocking the Collaterals

Rheumatoid arthritis is a common chronic systemic immune disease. Professor Jin Shi believes that the disease begins with congenital deficiency of kidney essence. After the long course of the disease, the lack of production and transformation source of qi and blood can lead to the poor qi movement and blood circulation. As the condition gets worse, it will breed pathogenic phlegm and stasis. Besides, excessive drug use and physical disability can also exacerbate the disease, which is deficiency in root and excess in manifestation. Bones and collaterals are the delicate structures for running qi and blood, which are often weakened by qi- and blood-deficiency. In addition, they are easily paralyzed by pathogenic phlegm and stasis. The disfunction of bones and collaterals can lead to bone marrow malnutrition, further resulting in bone withering and marrow reduction, and thus leading to osteoporosis. Professor Jin Shi took the deficiency of kidney essence, combined with paralysis and obstruction of bone and collaterals as the core pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis with a secondary osteoporosis. Therefore, when the treatment method of benefiting kidney and unblocking the collaterals is applied clinically, a better therapeutic effect can be achieved.
