ABSTRACT
There are gradual increases in the incidence rates of metabolic associated fatty liver disease （MAFLD） and type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM）， with close relationship and mutual interaction between the two diseases， but the specific mechanism is still unclear. Studies have shown that T2DM and MAFLD may cause aggravation of each other through insulin resistance， inflammation， some hepatocyte factors， and cellular senescence and protect each other through some hepatocyte factors. Further research on the association between T2DM and MAFLD and the mechanism of comorbidity is of great significance for the clinical prevention and treatment of the two diseases.
ABSTRACT
Cerebral hemorrhage has been regarded as a complex and refractory disease in neuroscience due to its diversification of etiology and complexity of pathophysiology. At present, the conservative treatment of Western medicine is only symptomatic treatment. There is no specific treatment for hematoma and local circulation disorders after cerebral hemorrhage. Surgical treatment, the effect has not been significantly improved. Cerebral hemorrhage belongs to the category of apoplexy in traditional Chinese medicine, which is also called hemorrhagic apoplexy in modern Chinese medicine. Although modern Chinese medicine treatment is based on differentiation of symptoms and signs, it has no obvious advantage over western medicine treatment. After years of clinical exploration and practice, Professor Gao Li has achieved good clinical efficacy in the diagnosis and treatment of cerebral hemorrhage with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, showing a good prospect of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment.
ABSTRACT
Presently the four high characteristics and rejuvenation trends of cerebrovascular diseases are still the main problems that endanger the health of our people. Accordingly, Professor Gao Li has been committed to the discussion of risk factors for cerebrovascular diseases and the practice of using integration of traditional Chinese and western medicine for diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. In order to enable the majority of western medicine doctors to understand and accept his idea, Professor Gao Li combines traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes with modern etiology and pathology, classification of stages and types of cerebral infarction by Chinese and western medicine, the acute cerebral infarction patients are simplified innovatively into four TCM syndromes and appropriate treatments are given to them, so that the majority of traditional Chinese and western medicine doctors can comprehensively recognize the condition of this disease from macroscopic to microscopic points of view. By his above combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine reasoning, the patients obtained better curative effect. After multiple years of summary and accumulation of his experiences, Professor Gao Li has developed the distinct clinical and academic characteristics for the diagnosis and treatment of cerebral infarction.
ABSTRACT
With the rapid development of the aging society and the sustainable increase of incidence of cerebrovascular diseases in China, the number of patients with various types of cognitive impairment is increasing year by year. No matter whether the causes of cognitive dysfunction are primary, vascular and other lesions leading to the impairment, the effect of conventional western medicine alone is not ideal for the treatment of the disease, especially the primary cognitive impairment. Practical experiences have proven that better clinical efficacy can often be achieved by using the idea and method of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine for such treatment. We summarized and elaborated the Professor Gao Li's practical experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of cognitive impairment with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in Capital Medical University Xuanwu Hospital, in order to broaden the clinicians' thinking and enrich the means of treatment for this disease.
ABSTRACT
With the aging of the population, the incidence of cerebrovascular diseases has increased significantly. In Western medicine, statins, aspirin and antihypertensive drugs are often used to treat mild and moderate cerebrovascular stenosis. For severe cerebrovascular stenosis, interventional technique and drug therapy are often used. In the course of treatment, it is not rare to see the side effects such as hypersensitivity of western medicine and damage of liver function, and it is not rare to see the patients with poor effect of drug therapy alone or short-term restenosis after intravascular stent implantation. Professor Gao Li, in Department of Neurology, Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University, combined the modern medical theory of cerebral vascular stenosis with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. According to the clinical manifestations, imaging and ultrasonic examination results of patients, cerebral vascular stenosis was divided into three syndrome types, such as phlegm obstruction and blood stasis type (mainly thickening of inner and middle membrane), qi stagnation and fire melting type (mainly plaque) and mixed type (both membrane thickening and plaque). The methods of invigorating spleen and removing dampness, clearing phlegm and removing blood stasis, soothing liver and relieving depression, clearing away heat and resolving phlegm, cooling blood and activating blood circulation, and the combination of two prescriptions were used for treatment of cerebral vascular stenosis, respectively. Meanwhile, the related Western medicine was added at the same time, which achieved better effect.
