Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a common chronic systemic inflmmatory joint
tissue disease [ 1 ] . Many studies suggest that [2-4 ] : The disease is induced
by a variety of factors which cause the body's own immune response. The disease
may invade multiple joints, with symptoms on hands, feet, small joints, mostly
symmetrical, as the most common. In Pathology, it is a chronic synovial
inflammatory disease characterized by cell infiltration, pannus formation,
erosion of cartilage and bone tissues, leading to the destruction of joint
structure and loss of functions. The lesions are not restricted to joint tissues
and commonly lead to damage of other systems.
1.The pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis(RA)
Modern medicine has not been fully elucidated the etiology of RA , currently
considered the main genetic factors, environmental factors and certain other
factors, such as hormone levels , stress response and so on. For a long time ,
that bacteria and viruses is to start the RA factor , a variety of pathogenic
microorganisms or other antigens , namely evils, more performance for wind cold
dampness evil , in RA always with musculoskeletal common in the disease process
, the evils is an important condition for the onset of alien invasive in vivo
antigen- induced immune response , immune complex formation is the starting
point of pathological changes .
2.Treatment
RA is a debilitating autoimmune disease. The focus of prevention is early
diagnosis and early treatment. Throughout the pathogenesis of Rheumatoid
Arthritis, it is characterized by the vacuity and blood deficiency. The disease
occurs due to wind and dampness intrusion. With the evil factors running deeper,
it further damages liver and kidney blood. Dispelling evil factors, dreding
channels and activating blood are the basic treatment rules of Rheumatoid
Arthritis.
3.Early and acute onset of Rheumatoid Arthritis. In the early stage of the
disease, it is characterized by evil factor invasion. At the beginning, the
patients are found to have fever, chills, headache and sickness. If the patients
experience fever, chills and headache at the early stage, if large
wind-dispersing agent to dispel evil wet to the outside in a timely manner, the
disease may develop into a chronic one. Therefore, it is better to expel wind
and cold , relieve dampness, numbness and pain as the early time.
4 Delayed healing mostly indicate delayed healing so that the patients show
varying degrees of blood deficiency syndromes. Because patients with recurrent
illness condition are also commonly seen, it needs to increase the positive
factor and get rid of the evil factors, which will improve blood circulation and
increase disease-resisting abilities.
Summary
Rheumatoid Arthritis(RA) is a slowly progressing disease and is relatively
difficult to be treated. Combing medication bath, acupunture and physical
therapy will help to improve treatment effect. At the meantime, mental health
education and functional exercise are also important.
