Integrative Medicine Department

Since its establishment in the 1970s, the Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine of Tianjin First Central Hospital has been led by Professor Wang Jinda, the founder of critical emergency medicine with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in my country. After several generations of hard work, it has now become a key discipline that combines medical care, scientific research, and teaching and enjoys a certain reputation in the country. It is one of the clinical departments under the Tianjin Institute of Emergency Medicine. In 1994, it was approved by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine as an emergency diagnosis and treatment center for integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. In 1996, it was designated as a key discipline in Tianjin (together with "Acute Abdomen" of Nankai Hospital and "Small Splint" of Orthopedics of Tianjin Hospital, it is also known as the "Three Flowers" of Tianjin's health sector. ). In 1997, the laboratory of the institute became the "Key Laboratory of Critical Care and Emergency Medicine of the Ministry of Health". In 2010, it became a demonstration unit of traditional Chinese medicine in national general hospitals. In 2012, it became a key specialty construction unit of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine has always been the focus and advantageous subject of the hospital's development. Today, the leader of the subject, Director Wang Dongqiang, has always adhered to the line of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and has unique theories and techniques for the treatment of sepsis with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.At present, the department is positioned to treat senile multiple organ dysfunction, and has formed three main dominant diseases: sepsis, elderly multiple organ dysfunction, and severe pneumonia. In addition, it also has a lot of experience in treating various chronic and difficult diseases with the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, such as chronic renal insufficiency, chronic pulmonary fibrosis, refractory nephrotic syndrome, refractory pyelonephritis, ischemic enteropathy, etc. We are equipped with advanced medical equipment and treat about 7,000 critically ill patients every year. For these patients, the new theory of "combined treatment of bacterial toxins" for infectious multiple organ failure and the "three syndromes and three methods" treatment principle of sepsis MODS integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine can greatly reduce the mortality of sepsis patients. The Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine has a professional medical, scientific research and teaching team that combines old, middle-aged and young people. There is one State Council Specially Distinguished Expert, 3 professors and chief physicians, 2 deputy chief physicians, including 3 doctoral students, 6 master's students, and 3 master's tutors from Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tianjin Medical University, and Nankai University School of Medicine, who are responsible for a large number of intern and postgraduate teaching tasks.It has the key subject laboratory of the Ministry of Health as a postdoctoral mobile station base, which can recruit postdoctoral talents in emergency medicine and provide superior conditions for further research and training after doctorate graduation. Through medical practice, he has won 1 National Natural Science Foundation of China project, completed more than 20 provincial (municipal) and bureau-level research projects, won 3 second and third prizes of Tianjin Science and Technology Progress Awards, and more than 10 scientific research achievements. Department Features The Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine of Tianjin First Central Hospital is a national general hospital demonstration unit of traditional Chinese medicine and a key discipline of the Tianjin health system. It was developed from the emergency medicine research institution "Tianjin First Central Hospital Acute Three Failures (Heart, Lung, Kidney) Rescue Research Laboratory and ICU Ward" founded by Professor Wang Jinda, the pioneer and founder of critical illness emergency medicine in China in August 1974. 1 In 1982, Professor Fox from the School of Medicine at Philadelphia University wrote an article in Science magazine: "China's Four Modern Showcases: ICU Ward of Tianjin First Central Hospital" and pointed out that Professor Wang Jinda was the founder of the emerging discipline of critical care emergency medicine in China. In 1994, it was approved by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine as an emergency diagnosis and treatment center for integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. In 1996, it was designated as a key discipline in Tianjin.In 1997, it became the "Key Laboratory of Critical Care and Emergency Medicine of the Ministry of Health". The Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine has always been the focus and advantage of the center's development. Under the leadership of Professor Wang Jinda, after several generations of hard work, the current subject leader, Professor Li Zhijun, has always adhered to the line of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and has unique theories and techniques for the treatment of sepsis with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Currently, the department is positioned to treat senile multiple organ dysfunction, and has formed three main dominant diseases: sepsis, elderly multiple organ dysfunction, and elderly pneumonia. In addition, it also has a lot of experience in treating various chronic and difficult diseases with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, such as chronic renal insufficiency, chronic pulmonary fibrosis, refractory nephrotic syndrome, refractory pyelonephritis, ischemic enteropathy, etc. We are equipped with advanced medical equipment and treat about 7,000 critically ill patients every year. For these patients, we have proposed a new theory of "combined treatment of bacterial toxins" for infectious multiple organ failure and "three syndromes and three methods" treatment of sepsis MODS integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Treatment principles can greatly reduce the mortality rate of patients with sepsis; Director Li Zhijun has given hundreds of lectures on the topic of "sepsis" across the country, covering Tianjin, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Jinan and other provincial and prefecture-level cities, and is generally recognized by his peers.Tianjin First Central Hospital is a tertiary-level comprehensive hospital with high standards in medical care, teaching, and scientific research. The comprehensive strength of the hospital supports the further development and innovation of the emergency department of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Based on years of clinical and scientific research work, we developed the national second-class emergency Chinese medicine "Xue Bi Jing", which was launched in 2003 as an effective drug for the treatment of sepsis and is widely used in major hospitals across the country. Director Wang Dongqiang, the subject leader, is a postdoctoral fellow in emergency medicine, chief physician, and master's tutor. He is currently a standing member of the Zhongjing Theory Professional Committee of the Chinese Society of Traditional Chinese Medicine; a member of the Emergency Medicine Professional Committee of the Chinese Society of Chinese Medicine; a vice president of the Chinese Medicine Appropriate Technology Evaluation and Promotion Professional Committee of the World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies; a standing director of the Geriatrics Professional Committee of the World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies; a director of the Emergency Medicine Branch of the Chinese Society of Ethnomedicine; a standing member and secretary-general of the Emergency Medicine Professional Committee of the Chinese Society of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine; and a director of the Tianjin Society of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. There are also deputy chairman of the First Aid Professional Committee of the Tianjin Society of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine; chairman of the Zhongjing Academic Professional Committee of the Tianjin Society of Traditional Chinese Medicine; standing member of the Evidence-Based Medicine Professional Committee of the Tianjin Society of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine;Vice Chairman of the Youth Working Committee of the Tianjin Society of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. Secretary of Wang Jinda Thought Academic Research Office. He has presided over 1 National Natural Science Foundation of China project, 1 China Postdoctoral Science Foundation special-funded project, and 1 Tianjin Postdoctoral Innovation Project.

It has a professional supporting medical, scientific research and teaching team that combines senior, middle-aged and young people. It has 1 State Council Special Expert, 4 professors and chief physicians, 2 deputy chief physicians, including 1 postdoctoral fellow, 4 doctoral students, 9 master's students, and 2 master's tutors from Tianjin College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tianjin Medical University, and Nankai University School of Medicine. They are responsible for a large number of intern and postgraduate teaching tasks. It has the key subject laboratory of the Ministry of Health as a postdoctoral mobile station base, which can recruit postdoctoral talents in emergency medicine and provide superior conditions for further research and training after doctorate graduation. Through medical practice, he has completed more than 20 provincial (municipal) and bureau-level research projects, won 3 second and third prizes of Tianjin Science and Technology Progress Awards, and obtained more than 10 scientific research results. The innovation of the department1. Three syndromes and three methods: Professor Wang Jinda recognized that various acute common diseases in surgical or non-surgical departments, after active treatment, if the condition continues to worsen, almost all have the same common outcome, including: sepsis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, acute respiratory failure, acute renal failure, toxic myocarditis, toxic encephalopathy, multiple organ failure and nutritional failure, etc. Looking at the above diseases, according to the principle of treating different diseases with the same treatment in traditional Chinese medicine, they can be generally summarized within the scope of the "three syndromes and three methods" of traditional Chinese medicine, that is, toxic heat syndrome and the method of clearing heat and detoxification; blood stasis syndrome and the method of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis; acute deficiency syndrome and strengthening the body and strengthening the root. The "three syndromes and three methods" treatment of acute and critical illness have been promoted and applied across the country and have played an important role. Combined treatment of bacterial toxins: A large number of clinical studies have confirmed that heat-clearing and detoxifying methods can significantly improve the cure rate of patients with severe infections and reduce the incidence of complications. After a large amount of basic research, Professor Wang Jinda creatively proposed the new concept of "simultaneous treatment of bacteria and viruses". As we all know, most antibiotics only have bactericidal or bacteriostatic effects. Except for polymyxin B, they have no endotoxin antagonism. However, a large number of traditional Chinese medicines have endotoxin antagonism.The use of antibiotics to kill and inhibit bacteria, and the use of heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine to resist and detoxify forms the theoretical basis of "simultaneous treatment of bacteria and toxins". With the development of molecular biology, it has been discovered that cascade-like release of inflammatory mediators leads to systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Antagonizing inflammatory mediators can improve the cure rate, and thus the theory of "combination of bacteria and toxins" has been perfected. At present, "combined treatment of bacterial toxins" has become a supporting theory for the treatment of critical diseases such as sepsis. 2. Technological innovation: The ingenious combination of colon dialysis and traditional Chinese medicine retention enema has formed a complete set of technologies that are safe, effective, easy to operate, and have low side effects. It has a good effect on the elderly with multiple organ dysfunction (chronic renal insufficiency, liver dysfunction, etc.). 3. Drug innovation: Under the guidance of Professor Wang Jinda, our department has made many contributions and scientific research work to the successful development of the traditional Chinese medicine injection "Xuebijing Injection" with antibacterial, endotoxin antagonism, and inflammatory mediator antagonism. This drug has been on the market since 2003. 4. Concept innovation: A Chinese medicine emergency vehicle has been established, equipped with small packages of Chinese medicine granules, so that critically ill patients at night can take Chinese medicine in a very short time, greatly improving the role of Chinese medicine in first aid. Subject construction goalsWe will continue to conduct in-depth research on the application of traditional medicine in the field of first aid, while integrating it with modern medical research, aiming at new concepts and new technologies in the field of medical science in the world, continuing to optimize the allocation, and forming economies of scale. Relying on the key laboratories of the Ministry of Health and targeting national key disciplines, we will build a large-scale first aid clinical and research center for integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the northern region and even across the country.
