Notes from Xi Yuan hospital, part 1

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

Ok, am on the foreign ward this week, which means foreign diseases

such as diabetes or cardiac disorders. I know, go figure. But

anyway, got some good info, so here it is.

 

In patients with thrombosis, they are two types, one excessive and

the other deficient. In excessive patients the treatment strategy

should be directed towards removing blood stasis and reducing

platelet aggregation using blood moving herbs. In deficient

patients, the treatment strategy should be used to tonify Qi and

Blood. Straight forward stuff, i just liked the idea of seperating

western syndromes into excess and deficinecy.

 

Other thing is that the use of Yu Xin Geng fluid aswell as Huang Qi

and Dan Shen via I.V. has shown to improve myocardial angiogenesis

and therefore can be used to treat patients with acute M.I.

(myocardial infarction).

 

Secondly, in a study performed by Dr Zhi, our teaching doctor, it

was shown that the formula Chuan Hu (Chuan Xiong and San Qi) can

increase micro-vascular density in those treated when compared to

the control group.
