(1) To treat diseases, we advocate guiding positive energy to cure the root cause, benefiting kidney and strengthening spleen, and giving priority to prevention.
Ruan believes that the occurrence and development of internal diseases are mostly caused by internal factors, regardless of external factors and six evils. If the patient develops healthily at birth, the acquired care is effective, and the internal disease resistance (that is, the internal regulatory function and the disease resistance to external factors) is strong, it is not easy to get sick. As the Neijing said, "healthy qi should be kept inside, and evil should not be done", which further extends to the prevention and treatment of senile diseases, helps healthy qi, delays the aging of the body and prevents the occurrence of senile diseases, and truly embodies the philosophical theory that "internal cause is the basis of change and external cause is the condition of change". Professor Ruan believes that medicine is progressing with the development of society. The progress of social system and the improvement of people's living standards and customs have brought about new changes in the spectrum of human diseases, and the development of medicine should also adapt to this new change. For example, with the implementation of the national family planning policy, the improvement of living standards and the enhancement of people's awareness of health care, the life expectancy of China's population has been greatly improved. At present, the proportion of the elderly population in many cities in China is increasingly prominent. It is estimated that by 2025, the number of elderly people over 60 will exceed 280 million. At present, many large and medium-sized cities including Tianjin have entered the ranks of aging cities. With the increase of the elderly population, human cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes, kidney diseases, cancer and other diseases show an obvious upward trend, so it is very important to actively carry out the prevention of senile diseases. In this regard, Professor Ruan believes that the following work should be done well: (1) Prevention before illness, the elderly should maintain a good life pattern, carry out sports activities suitable for them, eat moderately, feel comfortable, maintain a good mental state, and ensure adequate sleep time. Old people had better sleep for 6-8 hours every day. For some infectious diseases, vaccination can be carried out well. For example, the flu can be injected once a year around 10 to enhance their disease resistance. (2) Emphasize early treatment and control the development of the disease. Because many senile diseases often need long-term treatment, especially in the early stage of the disease, controlling the development of the disease will help improve their quality of life and health, but in the late stage of the disease (such as uremia of the kidney, etc.). ), the good effect of treatment is often not achieved, so early treatment is very important. (3) Pay attention to the maintenance of healthy qi, keep healthy, and don't waste your energy and consume your body. Professor Ruan believes that healthy qi can strengthen the body and delay the aging of the body. Healthy qi can also resist the invasion of foreign evils and maintain the balance of the body. In maintaining healthy qi, we pay special attention to the regulating functions of heart, spleen and kidney. Professor Ruan believes that deficiency of heart blood and kidney essence are often important pathogenesis characteristics of senile diseases, while deficiency of spleen and disorder of transport and transformation aggravate the changes of diseases. Therefore, Professor zhongruan attaches great importance to the application of tonifying kidney and strengthening spleen in the prevention and treatment of senile diseases.
(two) pay attention to the four diagnosis and reference, grasp the changing characteristics of the disease.
Ruan attaches great importance to the application of basic medical theories and clinical skills in clinical medicine. It is considered that the four diagnosis methods are an important method to understand diseases summarized by Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Only by combining the four diagnostic methods can the dialectical legislation be accurate and the prescription medication be reasonable. Among the four diagnoses, the first diagnosis is repeated, and the correct diagnosis and differential diagnosis cannot be made if the inquiry is unclear. In clinical diagnosis and treatment, people always severely criticize the bad practice of only feeling the pulse and not asking about the condition. Ruan Lao thinks: Four diagnosis is the necessary procedure of TCM diagnosis, and it is the basis of comprehensively and systematically understanding the condition and making a more practical diagnosis of the disease. For example, in the treatment of epigastric pain, firstly, through four diagnoses, it is determined whether the syndrome of epigastric pain belongs to spleen and stomach weakness or liver depression and qi stagnation, and combined with modern laboratory examination (such as upper gastrointestinal radiography or gastroscopy), the diagnosis of the disease is made clear and the corresponding treatment is given.
