Preliminary study on pathogenesis of phlegm⁃stasis⁃toxin intermingling in stroke
The pathogenesis of phlegm-stasis-toxin intermingling, grounded in the theories of "toxin damaging cerebral collaterals" and "intermingling of pathogenic factors", is a concept proposed on the basis of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory and modern TCM etiology research. It represents an essential component of the innovative system for stroke etiology and pathogenesis. First, the theories and practices of "pathogenic toxins" and "collateral disorders" are reviewed, emphasizing that toxin-induced damage to cerebral collaterals is a pivotal mechanism underlying stroke progression and exacerbation. Second, the theoretical connotations from ancient to modern times and contemporary research are summarized regarding the role of the intermingling of pathogenic factors in stroke. Finally, building on this foundation, the mechanisms, essential nature, diagnostic system, and biological foundations of the phlegm–stasis–toxin intermingling pathogenesis in stroke are explored, with the aim of advancing understanding of its pathogenic implications.
