Chapter 1084 Yamamoto's Disease
Kyoto International Medical Center, small conference room.
Chen Yang projected Yamamoto Ichiro's medical records onto the big screen
Mueller, Robert and their team, as well as the center's core experts were all present.
"Everyone, this is the latest information about Professor Ichiro Yamamoto of Juntendo University in R Country."
Chen Yang said calmly, "Professor Ichiro Yamamoto sent us a medical application this morning. Let's discuss it first."
There was a murmur of discussion in the conference room.
"Is Professor Yamamoto ill?"
Robert and Mueller were quite surprised.
When in New York, Ichiro Yamamoto and Charles from Johns Hopkins Hospital both fell ill, and both were treated by Chen Yang.
"Yes."
Chen Yang smiled and said to Robert and the others, "At that time, I was only treating the symptoms. I also reminded Mr. Yamamoto and hoped that Mr. Yamamoto would pay more attention. Now it seems..."
As he said this, Chen Yang shook his head regretfully.
"Let's take a look at the medical records first." Xun Jiahong said.
Everyone looked at the medical records in front of them. The more Robert and Mueller looked, the more surprised their expressions became.
Is there such a thing?
Cases like that of Ichiro Yamamoto are becoming less and less common with the development of modern medicine.
In particular, Ichiro Yamamoto is an authority in cardiac surgery at Juntendo University Hospital in Tokyo and has a high status. The doctors who performed surgery on Ichiro Yamamoto must also be experts at Juntendo.
"According to the data, their surgical exploration did not reveal any major organic lesions..."
Gao Anliang spoke first: "The situation has become more complicated after the operation."
"Abdominal pain, bloating, low-grade fever, poor appetite, vomiting, and intolerance to multiple antibiotics..."
Wen Haoxue pondered, "From a Chinese medicine perspective, this seems like the vital energy has been damaged after surgery, the external evil has not been cleared, the Qi is disordered, and dampness, heat and toxins are accumulated internally, which is entangled and difficult to resolve."
"And his own emotional factors are crucial,"
Wen Haodong added, "During the New York visit, Director Chen diagnosed him with 'cold pathogen stagnation in the liver meridians.' The liver regulates qi and regulates the flow of qi. Anger and depression damage the liver, leading to qi stagnation and blood stasis, and the trauma of the surgery, which has led to this situation."
Mueller and Robert looked at the information carefully with serious expressions.
Ichiro Yamamoto holds a highly respected position in the international medical community, and his cases are highly representative.
This disease, in particular, confuses them.
Chen Yang used traditional Chinese medicine to help Yamamoto Ichiro relieve his pain at the time. Obviously, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the cause of Yamamoto Ichiro's illness was very clear, but it was Juntendo who did not figure out the problem.
"Director Chen, how do you plan to respond?" Robert asked.
"Medicine has no borders, and patients come first."
Chen Yang said, "I have already replied to Mr. Yamamoto and asked him to come to Kyoto in the near future to provide Chinese medicine treatment recommendations. At the same time, this is also an opportunity to show you how Chinese medicine treats complex postoperative complications."
Chen Yang's arrangement made Robert and others very happy.
Chen Yang used this opportunity as a teaching demonstration to help Robert and others understand Chinese medicine more clearly.
Robert and others didn't care too much about who was sick. Yamamoto Ichiro was Yamamoto Ichiro. They were familiar with him and knew about what was happening in New York. That was great.
The most important thing is that Mr. Yamamoto fell ill while they were still in Kyoto, which is even better.
"Director Lin,"
Chen Yang looked at Lin Yi and said, "You are good at treating various internal medicine diseases, especially liver depression, qi stagnation, and internal dampness. How about you take the lead in analyzing Professor Yamamoto's current case?"
Lin Yi was slightly stunned, then he understood Chen Yang's meaning, which was to let him demonstrate his strength in front of this top international team.
He pushed his glasses up and nodded calmly: "Okay."
"Director Gao..."
Chen Yang looked at Gao Anliang again and said, "You are an expert in the properties of medicines, especially in accurately selecting and combining medicines for complex conditions to avoid side effects. Professor Yamamoto is currently intolerant to many Western medicines. Please review the main, auxiliary, and adjuvant ingredients in the Chinese medicine formula."
"It's my duty." Gao Anliang nodded.
"If Mr. Robert and others have any confusion, please ask Director Gao to help explain it." Chen Yang continued.
Mueller and Robert exchanged a glance, their eyes lit with intense interest. They hadn't expected Chen Yang's arrangements to be so comprehensive; it was clearly intended to systematically demonstrate the expertise and collaborative model of the various TCM experts on his team.
Lin Yi walked to the screen and made a preliminary analysis of Yamamoto Ichiro's condition:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we believe that Professor Yamamoto's core pathogenesis is 'liver depression and spleen deficiency, dampness, toxins and blood stasis.'"
"Surgical trauma depletes Qi and blood, which is called fundamental deficiency. Emotional depression and anger cause the liver to lose its ability to release Qi, leading to Qi stagnation and blood stasis. Postoperative dampness, heat and toxins remain uncleared, which is called superficial excess."
Lin Yi analyzed the issue in detail, linking obscure Chinese medicine terms with modern pathophysiology, which made Muller and Robert nod frequently.
Gao Anliang continued, "The treatment should focus on 'soothing the liver and strengthening the spleen, removing blood stasis and detoxifying, and clearing away heat and dampness.' However, special attention should be paid to the patient's current weak vital energy and upward gastric qi (vomiting). The medication should be light and flowing, and avoid greasy, congestive, or overly aggressive methods. I will use Sini San and Banxia Xiexin Tang as the basis for modification..."
Gao Anliang explained the rationale for selecting each herb from the perspectives of medicinal properties, meridians, and modern pharmacological research, as well as how to avoid conflicts with the patient's existing conditions...
In fact, today's consultation is for Robert and others.
Everyone also knew Chen Yang's intention.
Wen Haodong pondered for a moment before coming up with an acupuncture plan: "Acupuncture points will focus on the Liver Meridian of Foot Jueyin, the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming, and the Spleen Meridian of Foot Taiyin. Key points: Taichong and Qimen for soothing the liver and regulating Qi; Zusanli and Zhongwan for invigorating the spleen and harmonizing the stomach and relieving reflux; Sanyinjiao and Yinlingquan for invigorating the spleen and eliminating dampness. Neiguan for relieving vomiting, and Hegu and Quchi for clearing heat..."
A discussion on purely traditional Chinese medicine treatment plans for Ichiro Yamamoto's condition turned into a wonderful display of traditional Chinese medicine academic research.
Lin Yi's profundity, Gao Anliang's exquisiteness, Wen Haodong's agility, etc., all demonstrate the strong talent strength and solid theoretical foundation of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Kyoto International Medical Center.
