Exploration on pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of mild systemic lupus erythematosus based on theory of "mild leakage of white qi"
This study adopts the theory of "mild leakage of white qi" for syndrome differentiation and therapeutic management of mild systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The ancient classical connotation of the aforementioned theory is elucidated: the term "white qi" corresponds to lung qi, while "mild leakage" refers to mild consumption and dissipation of lung qi that impairs the dispersion function of defensive qi and loosens cutaneous interstitial striae. This pathological essence is highly consistent with the pathological hallmark of mild SLE, namely superficial lesion localization, superficial pathogenic invasion with mild clinical presentations, and absence of substantial visceral injury. Its core etiology and pathogenesis fall into three categories: deficient biosynthesis of lung qi, aggravated consumption and leakage of lung qi, and defensive qi stagnation complicated with pathological qi dissipation. On this basis, the core therapeutic principle of minimal regulation for mild disorders is formulated, and a standardized diagnostic and therapeutic framework is established centering on three therapeutic objectives: restoring the physiological circulation of lung qi, replenishing consumed lung qi, and preventing progressive lung qi damage. A complete medication regimen is subsequently developed, comprising an oral modified formula derived from Yupingfeng Powder and Sangju Decoction as well as an external topical lotion for diffusing lung qi and consolidating the superficial defensive barrier. One proven case is presented.
