Pathogenesis Characteristics of “Deficiency, Stagnation and Toxin” in Knee Osteoarthritis
involving multiple signaling pathways in the process of occurrence and development. However
its specific pathogenesis is unknown. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment could improve the symptoms and delay the disease development in patients with knee osteoarthritis. However
due to lack of standard and unified syndrome differentiation name
there are many treatment methods with different focus for each. In this paper
the pathogenesis characteristics of "deficiency
stagnation and toxin" were proposed for knee osteoarthritis by considering the research progress and pathogenesis characteristics. The knee joint gets no normal support because of deficient of spleen
liver and kidney
leading to insufficient muscles
weak physique
innutritious marrow
flaccid pulp and bone. "arthralgia caused by deficiency"; in case of deficiency of qi and blood
blood stasis
internal accumulation of phlegm
injury
or long-term chronic fatigue. "arthralgia caused by stagnation"
in case of exogenous evil
such as wind
coldness
dampness
as well as lack of Qi
i.e. "arthralgia caused by toxin". Meanwhile
deficiency
stagnation and toxin could influence each other. For example
deficient of viscera could lead to blood stasis and aggravated toxin. "stagnation caused by deficiency and toxin"
loss of vital Qi and blood stasis could produce endogenetic toxins." toxin caused by deficiency and stagnation"
exogenous evil
endogenetic toxins and obstructed bones and muscles could lead to deficiency of spleen
liver and kidney. "toxin caused by deficiency and stagnation". Therefore
deficiency
stagnation and toxin are closely related to each other
and co-exist with the occurrence
development of knee osteoarthritis. It is important to understand the pathogenesis characteristics of "deficiency
stagnation and toxin" in knee osteoarthritis during pathogenesis of traditional Chinese medicine
