Abstract:In traditional Chinese medicine,the pulmonary nodule is classified into the categories of lung accumulation and ke'nang.Professor LI Rundong posits that the pathogenic factors of this disease predominantly include qi stagnation,phlegm coagulation,blood stasis,and fire-toxin,and its essence is intricately associated with the dysfunction of the liver in controlling conveyance and dispersion.The liver controls conveyance and dispersion,ensuring the free flow of qi.When qi moves,blood circulates and body fluids are distributed smoothly.If the distribution of qi,blood,and body fluids is orderly,various stagnations such as qi stagnation,phlegm stagnation,blood stasis,and fire stagnation will not occur.However,if the liver's function of controlling conveyance and dispersion is abnormal,qi,blood,and body fluids will stagnate,thereby failing to circulate smoothly.Consequently,various pathological toxins will emerge and accumulate in the lungs,which will lead to the development of lung accumulation.In clinical practice,treatment should be centered around the liver.By adopting soothing the liver,nourishing the liver,and clearing liver heat as the core treatment approaches,restoring the liver's function of controlling conveyance and dispersion and eliminating pathogenic factors can result in the disappearance of nodules.One proven case is attached.
