摘要

Blood stasis syndrome is one of the pathological concepts of Oriental traditional medicine. In Oriental traditional medicine

blood is thought of as not only blood but also as a living component of the body. In fact

blood stasis syndrome is related to not just circulation disorders but dermatological and gynecological and other diseases. In Japan

the concept of blood stasis syndrome is based on the past literature

for instance

Synopsis of Golden Chamber (Jin Kui Yao Lue)

etc. There are many signs of this syndrome

such as a dry mouth

fullness of the abdomen and rough skin. However

the levels of importance of these signs had been unclear. Therefore

in order to determine the levels of seriousness

a scoring system of blood stasis syndrome was made based on multivariate analysis by Dr. Terasawa (Terasawa’s Blood Stasis Score). Using the scoring system

we have studied blood stasis syndrome mainly related to blood circulation using modern techniques of analysis. From the results

we found that patients with blood stasis syndrome showed hemorheological abnormalities

and an improvement in these abnormalities was shown after administration of removing-blood stasis formulae. Furthermore

we have studied blood stasis syndrome from the point of view of molecular biology. We searched for the specific protein expression in blood stasis syndrome by proteomic analysis

and found no specific protein expression. However

there may be a possibility of developing a diagnostic algorithm for blood stasis by construction of a decision tree. During the past few years

as one of the molecular biological factors affecting blood stasis syndrome

we have been studying hypoxia inducible factor

which is located in the upstream of many genes. Above all

blood stasis syndrome is more than just circulatory deficit but encompasses the pathological concept of constant multilateral change in the living body.
