Exploring the Pathogenesis of Chronic Ischemic Brain Injury Based on the Theories of Ying-nutrients and Wei-defence and Blood Vessels
Keywords:
Theories of Ying-nutrients and Wei-defence and blood vessels, Chronic ischemic brain injury, PathogenesisAbstract
Chronic brain injury refers to a clinical syndrome caused by various factors, which is characterized by chronic progressive organic damage to the brain and ultimately leads to impairment of higher nervous functions. Chronic brain injury encompasses a wide range of conditions, among which ischemic brain injury is the most common type. Kidney essence deficiency, along with vessel and collateral impediment and brain marrow depletion, is an important pathogenesis in chronic ischemic brain injury, closely related to Ying-nutrients, Wei-defence and blood vessels. Kidney deficiency vessels and collateral impediments influence each other. Kidney deficiency can affect the circulation of Qi, blood, Ying-nutrients, and Wei-defence, leading to blood stasis vessels and collateral impediments. Internally accumulated static blood and obstructed vessels and collaterals can impede the circulation of Ying-nutrients and Wei-defence, exacerbating kidney deficiency. A self-formulated kidney-tonifying and collateral-unblocking formula aims primarily to tonify the kidneys, replenish essence, and nourish Ying-nutrients and Wei-defence, with the regulation and harmonization of Ying-nutrients and Wei-defence, and ensuring smooth circulation of blood vessels being the key goals. Ultimately, this formula can nourish the brain and unblock the vessels and collaterals, allowing the spirit to function properly.
