Discussion on treating small airway obstruction caused by smoking from the perspective of injury to pulmonary vessels
Small airways belong to the qi collateral of the lung collaterals
and their damages may result in abnormalities of the entire lung collateral system
and its physiological functions. Small airways obstruction is the early stage of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
for which smoking has been recognized as one of the main risk factors. Based on a combination of the theory of "toxic" pathogen and of pulmonary collateral diseases
this study proposes that tobacco smoke is the driving factor of this disease. The injury of lung collaterals by tobacco smoke is manifested in its effect on small airways
which mediates airway inflammation
mucus secretion and eventual obstruction of the passages. Tissue damage in the lungs are caused by smoke invading qi collaterals
which mainly involves the stages smoke evil accumulating in the qi collaterals until toxic levels
the smoke toxins inducing collateral damage
and new toxins result ing from the damaged collaterals. For the treatment
the focus should be placed on removing the toxins and unblocking the collaterals
tonifying qi and nourishing yin. At the initial stage
it is advisable to clear the lungs
moisten collaterals and expel the toxins. At the second stage
the key is to nourish qi and unblock the collaterals and remove the toxins. To deal with the new toxins generated in the third stage
it is suggested to remove stasis
dissolve phlegm and unblock the collaterals.
