ZHANG Zhiyuan's Experience in Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment of Leukorrheal Diseases / 中医杂志

To summarize Professor ZHANG Zhiyuan's experience in treating leukorrheal diseases based on syndrome differentiation. It is believed that the main pathogenesis of leukorrheal diseases includes mainly depression， dampness and deficiency. Leukorrheal diseases can be classified into four syndrome types： syndrome of stagnation of liver qi and spleen deficiency， syndrome of internal retention of damp-heat， syndrome of cold-dampness invading downward， and syndrome of kidney yang deficiency. The treatment approach focuses on restoring the ascending and descending opening and closing of qi， regulating the liver and spleen to promote yang qi respectively. The four types of syndromes correspond to the application of four different herbal formulas： By using the combination of Danggui Shaoyao Powder （当归芍药散） from the Synopsis of Golden Chamber （《金匮要略》） with wind-dispelling herbs， adjustments are made to harmonize the liver and spleen； By applying modifications to the Baxian Drink （八仙饮） from the Obstetrics Enlightenment （《产科发蒙》） to clear heat and promote diuresis； A self-designed Shiwei Wendai Decoction （十味温带汤） is adjusted to warm the yang and dispel cold； The Baji Tusi Decoction （巴戟菟丝汤） from the New Compilation of Effective Recipes （《验方新编》） is adjusted to tonify and warm the kidney yang.

ZHANG Zhiyuan's Experience in Using Baizhu （Atractylodes macrocephala） in Clinical Practice / 中医杂志

Professor Zhang Zhiyuan， a master of Chinese medicine， made good use of Baizhu （Atractylis macrocephala （Koidz.））. Except for defecation in clinical practice， he usually prescribed processed Baizhu after stir-frying with soil. Baizhu is good at excreting water and removing dampness， so applied it in the formula series with Fuling （Poria cocos） and Guizhi （Cassia Twig） or self-made decoction for diarrhea. High-dose Baizhu could be used for edema by treating obstructive syndrome with tonics， so Baizhu were added in self-made Shugan Qushui Decoction （疏肝祛水汤） or modified Lizhong Decoction （理中汤） for liver cirrhosis ascites. It was emphasized that Baizhu could eliminate phlegm， so added it in modified Zexei Decoction （泽泻汤） for excess syndrome of vertigo. It was also acknow-ledged that Baizhu could strengthen the spleen and stomach， and was suitable for deficiency or excess syndrome of abdominal distension， so applied it in Burun Decoction （补润汤） for abdominal distension with deficiency-excess in complexity， and applied it in Zhizhu Decoction （枳术汤） or self-made Tiaozhong Decoction （调中汤） for deficient abdominal distention.
