Abstract

Objective : One of the unique syndromes in Asian traditional medicine named 'heat entering the blood chamber(æðìýúìãø, HEBC)' first appeared in Shanghanlun(ß¿ùÎÖå) and Jinguiyaolue(ÑÑ?é©ÕÔ) written by Zhangzhongjing(íåñêÌØ) who is the most famous doctor in ancient China.
Method : Through comparison between Huangdineijing(üÜð¨Ò®Ìè), Shanghanlun(ß¿ùÎÖå), Jinguiyaolue(ÑÑ?é©ÕÔ) and other medical texts, the correct meaning, causes and mechanisms of HEBC can be analysed and organized to suggest new view of HEBC in modern society.
Result : This syndrome is usually occurred in women during catching cold and menstruation, accompanying alternation of chillness and fever, pseudo-malaria, delirium, raveled chest(Ì¿ýØ), uterine hemorrhage, etc. The main sign of this syndrome, delirium belongs to the category of liver disease and fever in Huangdineijing(üÜð¨Ò®Ìè) which is a document more early published than Shanghanlun. Although there are still many other comprehensions about what blood chamber is, it could be the same as uterus according to Huangdineijing, it is relevant to the control of menstruation and emotions, and the function of liver and thoroughfare vessel(õúØæ).
Conclusion : HEBC is a syndrome exclusive to women, caused by their unique physical and psychological characteristics. It's beginning can be found in Huangdineijing, and by Shanghanlun and Jinguiyaolue, its concept as a single disease pattern becomes established. In other words, HEBC is a complex disease related to menstruation and its related hormonal dysfunctions, closely related to PMS, menopausal syndrome of today. Physical symptoms accompanied by psychological anxiety and fear is characteristic of this condition. Therefore gynecological approaches as well as socio-cultural issues related to women in modern society must be adopted when dealing with HEBC.
