Abstract

Acute cholecystitis is a common clinical condition with complex pathological mechanisms and significant clinical impact. This review focuses on integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine approaches to its management. We first summarize theoretical foundations and recent findings in epidemiology and pathophysiology. Diagnostic strategies are then discussed, with emphasis on how modern imaging methods and traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic approaches complement each other to improve accuracy. Clinical practice is reviewed in terms of therapeutic efficacy, combined medication, and surgical options, underscoring the benefits of integrative treatment. Advances such as the development of new traditional Chinese medicine preparations and the adoption of minimally invasive techniques have introduced promising directions, although controversies and challenges remain. Finally, we highlight the need for further research to optimize integrative strategies, establish standardized treatment protocols, and improve patient outcomes. By synthesizing current evidence, this review aims to inform clinical decision-making and guide future research on integrative approaches to acute cholecystitis.

急性胆囊炎:中西医结合流行病学、诊断与治疗。
急性胆囊炎是一种常见的临床疾病,病理机制复杂,临床影响重大。本文综述了中西医结合的治疗方法。我们首先总结了流行病学和病理生理学的理论基础和最新发现。然后讨论了诊断策略,重点是现代成像方法和传统中医诊断方法如何相互补充以提高准确性。临床实践回顾了治疗效果、联合用药和手术选择,强调了综合治疗的好处。尽管存在争议和挑战,但诸如新型中药制剂的开发和微创技术的采用等进步为我们提供了有希望的方向。最后,我们强调需要进一步研究以优化综合策略,建立标准化的治疗方案,并改善患者的预后。通过综合目前的证据,本综述旨在为临床决策提供信息,并指导未来对急性胆囊炎综合治疗方法的研究。

The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of reviews, original research and clinical studies across all disease areas. A key focus of the journal is the elucidation of disease processes and management protocols resulting in improved outcomes for the patient. Patient perspectives such as satisfaction, quality of life, health literacy and communication and their role in developing new healthcare programs and optimizing clinical outcomes are major areas of interest for the journal. As of 1st April 2019, the International Journal of General Medicine will no longer consider meta-analyses for publication.
