RESUMO
Combined with the five Zang Yin-Yang theory, to discuss the spinal marrow and cerebral Yin Yang state. As the internal organs, we believe that the spinal marrow and cerebral are substantial Yin and functional Yang. Further we can diagnose and treat the cerebral and spinal marrow injury related diseases. In the clinical therapy of acute and chronic cerebral and spinal marrow diseases, we should maintain the substantial Yin by avoiding injury, preventing spinal degeneration and maintaining the blood supply; and we should adjusting the functional Yang by nourishing the blood and promoting blood circulation, calming the liver to stop the wind, keep Yin and Weiqi in balance, tonifying the spleen and kidney etc. From the author's experience ,the patient with acute cerebral and spinal marrow injury diseases should be treated by regulating lung, liver, spleen and kidney to remove the wet water and purge the fire;the patient with chronic cerebral and spinal marrow injury diseases should be treated by regulating heart, liver, spleen and kidney to enhance Yang and nourish Yin.
RESUMO
Chinese medicine has certain advantages in treating the disease of children ADHD which caused by brain dysfunction. According to the physiological characteristics of "kidney is often insufficient" in children, and the close relations among kidney, marrow, essence and brain, we put forward the pathomechanism hypothesis that growth retardation of spinal marrow caused ADHD, and thought that the def iciency of kidney essence, growth retardation of spinal marrow, and imbalance of yin and yang (yang superabundant and yin insufficient), are the keys of pathomechanism of ADHD. Accordingly, the tonifying kidney and replenishing essence treatment principle was established, and YiZhiNingShen granule was made which had been conf irmed effectively by clinical and experimental research.
