The superiority of combining Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of rheumatic diseases is mainly reflected as follows: 1. Changing the research method of Western medicine which only focuses on analysis and localization: It starts to combine localization and overall, static and dynamic, analysis and synthesis to study the interrelationship of various organs or diseases of the human body and their processes of change and development, and gradually reveals the inner regularity of human life and disease processes. Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease, and the lesion can involve multiple organs singly or simultaneously. Western medicine believes that its pathogenesis is related to hormones, environment, infection, immunity and genetics, and is mainly characterized by hyperfunction of B cells and hypofunction of T cells. In Chinese medicine, there are two types of arguments: one believes that the main cause of the disease is the lack of innate endowment, loss of kidney essence, imbalance of yin and yang, and yin deficiency and hyperactivity of yang; the other believes that the disease develops due to the imbalance of the body’s camp and guard and the loss of harmony between qi and blood, resulting in qi stagnation and blood stasis. Chinese and Western medicine treatment is helpful to improve the efficacy, shorten the course of treatment and reduce side effects. Generally speaking, during the acute attack period, high-dose glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants are used for shock treatment, accompanied by drugs to clear heat and detoxify the body and cool the blood. Since the disease requires long-term use of glucocorticoids, to reduce the negative effects of Cushing’s sign and neuro-endocrine-immune axis, yin-nourishing drugs are given. To reduce the bone marrow suppression, gonadal damage and gastrointestinal discomfort caused by immunosuppressive drugs, spleen and kidney tonics were used. Since the disease has been lingering for several years, the clinical manifestation is mostly qi and blood stagnation, the treatment is based on regulating qi and draining the liver, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis. When the disease is alleviated, the treatment will be strengthened to benefit Qi and nourish Yin, improve the patient’s immune status, and facilitate the smooth reduction of hormones. 2. Close integration with modern science and technology: It makes up for the defects of Chinese medicine, opens up a new field of modern medicine, and solves a series of major problems in diagnosis, treatment and prevention. It makes medical technology move toward the goals of automation, high speed, precision, efficiency, simplicity and non-invasiveness. In the fifth century B.C., Chinese medicine already classified arthritis or joint pain into three major types: walking paralysis, painful paralysis and catching paralysis. However, until today, it is impossible to distinguish rheumatoid arthritis from gout and to identify rheumatoid arthritis from ankylosing spondylitis if one relies only on TCM theory. Despite Hua Tuo’s excellent medical skills, he had to perform open-heart surgery on Cao Cao with a sharp blade, and now it seems that it was not unreasonable for Cao Cao to kill him. On the other hand, it has expanded to the macro level and developed from all aspects of the organism, resulting in many new disciplines such as cosmic medicine, environmental medicine, medical sociology, medical psychology, medical ethics, and chronological pharmacology. The organic combination of Chinese and Western medicine has gradually revealed the dialectical relationship between different levels of the human body. For example, in rheumatoid arthritis, from a microscopic perspective, people have studied the immune cell subpopulations and the class II molecular structure of human histocompatibility antigens. From a macroscopic perspective, researchers have found a high prevalence in certain races, as well as a higher prevalence in poor, low-educated people, and attention has been paid to psychological disorders and sexual life disorders in rheumatoid arthritis patients. And the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is required to be multifaceted and multifaceted. Treatment of patients, in addition to medical and nursing workers, social workers, psychologists, rehabilitation doctors, family and society and other industries have obligations and responsibilities, fully reflecting the holistic nature of people. 4.Increased the means and contents of disease diagnosis and treatment: It not only includes various treatments of Chinese and Western medicine, but also includes various non-technical treatments such as rational nutrition, sports therapy, stress control, psychotherapy, social adaptation and various wellness therapies. 5. Promoting the development of medical ethics: The system of combined Chinese and Western medicine treatment places more emphasis on the patient’s medical rights, respects the patient’s medical needs and the patient’s desire to enjoy life and improve the quality of life, and regards the patient as a social person, a whole person rather than a “sick machine”. For example, patients with SLE were previously advised to avoid having children or even getting married, which was indeed against their humanity. Many patients with rheumatic diseases have different degrees of joint and muscle pains and disabilities, which make their sexual life difficult in different degrees. Systemic medicine gives appropriate attention to them, which improves their quality of life, increases their joy of living and harmonizes their relationship with each other.
