Clinical Analysis of "Different Diseases Saring Same Syndrome" Concept in End Stage of Different Hip Diseases
The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) concept that "different diseases may share the same TCM syndrome" is a unique theory explaining the relationship between diseases and TCM syndromes
which originally means that different diseases sharing the same TCM pathogenesis may develop the same syndrome. It accords with the theory of treatment based on syndrome differentiation. In clinical practices
this concept explains why the same herbal formula can be used to treat different diseases. With the development of a novel strategy to integrate the disease diagnosis and TCM syndrome differentiation
the meaning of "different diseases may share the same TCM syndrome" has also changed. It means that different diseases share the same TCM pathogenesis during their progression may show the same syndrome. Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH)
hip osteoarthritis (HOA)
and hip rheumatoid arthritis (HRA) are three different diseases that occur in the bones
cartilage
and synovium of the hip joint
respectively. However
they share similar clinical symptoms and TCM symptoms if they had progressed to the end-stage. In the end-stage of the disease
hip pain
restricted activity
signs of waist and knee pain
and weakened walking function
whether it is symptoms or signs or TCM syndromes
all show their similarities
reflecting the concept of different diseases may share the same TCM syndrome. This article discusses the similarity of the three diseases from the aspects of syndrome characteristics
radiographic findings
syndrome differentiation
etiology and pathogenesis
as well as clinical treatments. We found that
in addition to similar clinical signs and symptoms
the three hip osteoarthropathies in the end-stage see articular cartilage degeneration
joint space stenosis
joint effusion
synovial thickening
bone hyperplasia
and subchondral bone cystic degeneration
etc. similar X-ray performance, kidney sperm
bone marrow
only kidney sufficiency
muscles and bones can be filled with bone marrow
liver blood
main muscles
liver and blood are sufficient to support the muscles and bones
and the disease is in the advanced stage, ONFH, HOA and HRA are closely related to liver and kidney dysfunction. Insufficient liver and kidney
meridian muscle
and bone malnutrition are three common pathological mechanisms of late hip bone disease. Deficiency
waist and knee weakness
and weakness in walking have also become common symptoms. It not only provides a theoretical basis for the "same syndrome"
but also helps the differential diagnosis of "different diseases"
improves the fracture level of hip diseases
and enriches the connotation of "different diseases sharing the same syndrome" in Chinese medicine.
