Systemic scleroderma is a systemic connective tissue diseases. Most of its pathogenesis is believed to be an autoimmune disease in certain genetic basis, coupled with persistent chronic infection caused. The presence of serum autoantibodies in patients with a variety of their thoracic duct lymph, in addition to containing immunocompetent cells, there are a large number of autoantibodies, cytokines, inflammatory cytokines and immune complexes. Exported by a large number of thoracic duct lymph drainage, can be improved humoral immune hyperactive state, which has shaken the foundation of systemic scleroderma immunity.
     Thoracic duct drainage combined with traditional Chinese therapy three to soften due medicine with detoxification, yang and cold, Huoxuetongluo circulation swelling and other effects, can inhibit fibrosis and inflammatory destruction of tissue cells, regulate microcirculation function, improve muscle cell metabolism, protein metabolism, enzyme metabolism and blood physicochemical properties, thereby improving the patient's internal environment, preventing lesions from the skin to internal organs develop.
     So obviously soften the skin, pigmentation shallow, gradually restored organ involvement, Raynaud's phenomenon, dysphagia, joint symptoms, peripheral ulcers significantly improved laboratory parameters improved significantly, allowing the disease to more.
Chinese medicine combined with thoracic duct drainage treatment of systemic scleroderma, by experts, is the best solution to the current treatment of systemic scleroderma internationally. The program for the cure systemic scleroderma opened a new road.
     ◆ Precautions after surgery
     A diet: eat high-calorie, high-protein diet such as: milk, sugar, eggs, pork ribs soup, corresponding medicated and so on.
     2, water and electrolyte balance: ① daily drainage to control the 1500ml below, ② drainage to note how much how much supplement; if the amount of sweating or other more time, but also appropriate to increase the amount of fluid; ③ sodium, potassium, calcium According to circumstances, such as to timely supplement.
     3, the appropriate use of albumin, fat emulsion, amino acids and other drugs, usually in about 5000ml drainage should be used.
     4, when the drainage 10 days or so, you can add with traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
     5, the total drainage volume: general 10,000ml. For a better physique can be increased drainage, poor health proper drainage to reduce the total to not cause hypoalbuminemia principle.
     ◆ Precautions after surgery care
     A drainage speed: with the position, and if drainage is too slow, you can let the patient appropriately changing position can be.
     2, detached: After three days of the most easily detached, so best to let the patient after 3 days of bed. Common causes detached three aspects: Young head on the toilet, undressed sleep is a common cause of detached, health care workers and patients should be a high degree of attention to prevent wasted.
     3, drainage tube does not drop: There are four common reasons:
     (A) bloody lymph: lymph pressure is not too high at this time, coupled with the coagulation of the blood, most likely plugging, if found bloody lymph, must pay attention to.
     (2) drip rate too fast, in order to control the drip rate, to clip in the clip where the place is easily blocked, pay attention.
     (3) lymph pressure low, especially lowest pressure at 3 o'clock midnight, when the slowest drip lymphatic vessels, to prevent plugging. Some patients lymphatic pressure is low, it is easy to plugging. The solution is to eat, to strengthen nutrition.
     (4) postural relationship: lymphatic pressure and position-related, when the drip rate is too slow, let the patient change position in order to maintain a certain drip; drip faster when the general left lateral position.
     4, the adverse reactions caused by drainage: Usually no adverse effects, but if the drainage is too fast, can cause abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. At this stop dripping 30 minutes to make these reactions disappear; stopped dropping 30 minutes without causing plugging, because such patients lymphatic pressure is generally higher.
     5 stitches: 7-8 days to dismantle suture the incision, the line should be removed at the outlet pipe when closed.
     6, closed tube: Closed specific time, according to the patient's physical and drainage may be. General drainage around 10,000ml, can be considered closed tube.
     7, when plugging process: To close observation, once found in possession of liquid does not drip, to promptly make health care treatment.

Important:
     1 thoracic duct drainage applies only to swelling of systemic scleroderma, when the disease progresses, the immune parameters were significantly elevated, skin swelling significantly, while skin atrophy of collagen fibrosis is the main pathological features, this period is not suitable this surgery.
     2 The lack of follow-up treatment after surgery is just one of the first means of treatment, further treatment must be combined, we found that some patients had surgery so that illnesses repeated exacerbations, come to naught, very sorry.
