《圣惠方》认为,让婴儿过早坐立,容易受到外界风寒侵袭脊柱,风气深入骨髓,导致背部隆起像乌龟一样。虽然也有药方,但多形成顽固难愈的疾病,因此以灸法为主要治疗手段。〔钱乙〕认为,婴儿出生后若客风侵入脊柱,逐入骨髓,就会形成龟背病,治疗可用龟尿点涂节骨处。取龟尿的方法是:将龟放在莲叶上,然后用镜子照射它,龟尿就会自然流出,用器物盛接即可。〔张涣〕指出,婴儿出生后一百八十天,骨骼才发育成形,才能独自坐立。如果强行让婴儿过早坐立,外界的风寒就会吹袭婴儿的背部和脊柱直至骨骼,传入骨髓,使背部隆起像乌龟的形状,可用松药丹来治疗。
〔张涣〕松药丹:治疗龟背病。
配方:松花(清洗后焙干)一两,枳壳(去除瓤,麸皮炒制)一两,独活一两,防风(去芦头及分叉部分)一两,川大黄(炮制)半两,前胡半两,麻黄(去根和节)半两,桂心半两。
以上药物研成细末,用炼蜜调和制成如黍米大小的丸剂。每次服用十粒,用粥饮送下,根据患儿年龄大小增减剂量。《圣惠方》中的麻黄丸,芍药用量较多,前胡用量较少。另一方的配方中,槟榔和诃子皮用量较多。还有一方没有松花,但有当归,煮面糊为丸,名为枳壳防风丸。
《圣惠方》灸法:应当灸第三椎骨节下方两旁各一寸半处的肺俞穴,第五椎骨节下方两旁各一寸半处的心俞穴,第七椎骨节下方两旁各一寸半处的膈俞穴。以小儿中指中间一节为一寸的标准,艾炷大小如小麦粒,每穴灸三至五壮即止。此法多次使用,十分之一二的病例有效,也没有完全治愈的功效。(《颅囟经》记载:符殿直的孙子绍熙,在辛亥年春天,经过灸治后即见效。)
〔世医观点〕龟背病在百日内若不治疗则难以痊愈。
〔曾氏〕肺与大肠互为表里,肛门是大肠的门户。肺有实热,会导致大便闭结不通;肺虚寒,则会导致直肠脱出露在外面。有的因为痢疾日久,里急后重,用力努挣导致肛门张开,被外风吹袭;或者因伏暑引起腹泻,肠道滑脱不能控制;或者因先天禀赋怯弱,容易感受寒冷,也会导致大肠虚脱。凡是小儿患的泻痢,都是因为暑湿风热乘脾胃虚弱而致病。风属木,木气旺盛则克制土气,土主脾胃,脾胃虚弱受制,加上湿气容易伤脾,因虚受湿,不能分别清浊,水谷混杂,就形成洞泄(严重的水样腹泻)。洞泄日久,大肠也会虚弱。大肠属手阳明燥金,土虚不能生金,金气既虚,传导功能也虚弱,再加上被风冷侵袭,所以肛门脱出而不能收回。治疗方法宜补脾温胃,使金气得母(土)的滋养而气实。宜用藿香饮(适用于不乳食)、匀气散(适用于疝气)、平胃散(适用于不乳食)为主治疗,其次内服固肠的药物,用健脾饮(适用于不乳食)、养脏汤(适用于痢疾)服用。外用敷贴法,用伏龙肝散敷贴,以及蓖麻膏贴敷囟门,以引导气机上行,使其自行收回。如果完全收回,仍需用水洗去药膏。如果有邪热积滞于大肠,未经过疏涤清理,也会形成此病,其肛门颜色红而软,肺脉浮数,右手指纹紫色显现,身体微热,时而烦躁,先投清肺饮(适用于咳嗽)疏解,次用薄荷散、蟠龙散治疗,间服万安饮也很好。
〔薛己〕巢元方说:实热则大便秘结,虚寒则肛门脱出,这多因吐泻导致脾气虚,肺无所养,故大肠之气虚,脱而下陷。治疗用补中益气汤或四君子汤为主。如果脱出的部分绯红,或者疼痛,是血虚而有热,用补中益气汤佐以四物汤、牡丹皮;症状轻微且疼痛的,是气虚而有热,佐以四君子汤、牡丹皮。大凡手足指头发热的属于胃气热,手足指头发冷的属于胃气寒。
汤氏方治疗脱肛,大肠自粪门脱出,宜用葱汤熏洗令其变软,慢慢送回。这是因泻利引起的,也可服用治泻利的药,然后用槐花等药。又有用一味五倍子煎汤,加入朴硝熏洗而使肛门缩回的。又有用真蒲黄碾成极细粉末,用猪脂拌匀,敷在肛门上使其纳入的。
《全婴方》用涩肠散,兼有痔疮证肿痛者,用黄丹、滑石等分,井水调涂即消退,并用铅白霜半钱,片脑半字,好酒调敷肿处,效果很好。黄连解毒汤也可以服用。用苦参汤清洗也有效。也有用密陀僧、白矾、脑子末敷上的,更用荆芥、防风等项清洗。用生栝蒌根者有效。

*Shenghui Fang* (Sanitary Formulas of the Holy Emperor) suggests that allowing infants to sit too early exposes them to external wind-cold invading the spine. Wind pathogenic factors reach the marrow, causing the back to protrude like a turtle shell. Although medicinal formulas exist, they often result in chronic, stubborn diseases; therefore, moxibustion is the primary treatment method. [Qian Yi] believes that if postnatal "guest wind" invades the spine and penetrates the bone marrow, it results in turtle-back deformity. Treatment involves applying turtle urine to the joint bones. To obtain turtle urine, place the turtle on a lotus leaf and shine a mirror upon it; the urine will naturally excrete, which can be collected with a vessel. [Zhang Huan] points out that an infant's bones do not fully form until 180 days after birth, at which point they can sit independently. Forcing an infant to sit too early allows external wind-cold to blow upon the back and spine, reaching the bones and penetrating the marrow, causing the back to protrude like a turtle shell. This can be treated with *Songyao Dan* (Pine Medicine Pill).
[Zhang Huan] *Songyao Dan*: Treats turtle-back disease.
Ingredients: *Pinus massoniana* flower heads (Wu Jia Pi Hua, Pine Flower) (washed and dried by baking), 1 liang; *Aurantii Fructus* (Zhi Ke, Bitter Orange) (pulp removed, stir-fried with bran), 1 liang; *Angelicae Pubescentis Radix* (Duhuo) (1 liang); *Saposhnikoviae Radix* (Fangfeng) (rhizome and forked parts removed), 1 liang; *Rhei Radix et Rhizoma* (Chuan Dahuang) (processed), 0.5 liang; *Peucedani Radix* (Qianhu) (0.5 liang); *Ephedrae Herba* (Mahuang, Ephedra) (roots and nodes removed), 0.5 liang; *Cinnamomi Cortex* (Guixin, Cinnamon Bark) (0.5 liang).
Grind all ingredients into fine powder. Mix with refined honey to form pills the size of millet seeds. Administer 10 pills per dose, taken down with gruel broth. Adjust dosage according to the child's age and size. In *Shenghui Fang*'s *Mahuang Wan*, the dosage of *Paeoniae Radix Alba* (Baishao, White Peony Root) is higher, and *Peucedani Radix* (Qianhu) is lower. Another formula increases the dosage of *Arecae Semen* (Binglang, Betel Nut) and *Terminalia Chebula Retzii Fructus* (Hepi, Chebula Fruit Peel). Yet another formula excludes pine flowers but includes *Angelicae Sinensis Radix* (Danggui, Dang Gui), using boiled wheat paste to form pills, named *Zhike Fangfeng Wan*.
*Shenghui Fang* Moxibustion Method: Moxibustion should be applied to Feishu (BL13, Lung Shu) located 1.5 cun lateral to the spinous process of the third thoracic vertebra; Xinshu (BL15, Heart Shu) located 1.5 cun lateral to the spinous process of the fifth thoracic vertebra; and Geshu (BL17, Diaphragm Shu) located 1.5 cun lateral to the spinous process of the seventh thoracic vertebra. Use the middle phalanx of the child's middle finger as the standard for 1 cun. The moxa cone should be the size of a wheat grain. Apply 3-5 cones per acupoint. This method has been used repeatedly with success in only one or two out of ten cases, and no complete cure has been achieved. (*Luxin Jing* records: Fu Dianzhi's grandson, Shaoxi, was cured after moxibustion in the spring of the Xinhai year.)
[General Medical View] Turtle-back deformity is incurable if not treated within the first hundred days.
[Zeng Zhixi] The Lung and Large Intestine are exterior-interiorly related. The anus is the gate of the Large Intestine. Lung excess-heat causes constipation and blockage; Lung deficiency-cold causes rectal prolapse. Some cases arise from prolonged dysentery with tenesmus and straining, causing the anus to open and be exposed to external wind. Others result from summer-heat retention causing diarrhea and intestinal sliding without control. Some stem from congenital weakness, making them susceptible to cold, leading to Large Intestine deficiency and collapse. All pediatric diarrhea and dysentery are caused by summer-heat, dampness, wind, and heat pathogens attacking the Spleen and Stomach during their deficiency. Wind belongs to Wood; excessive Wood controls Earth. Earth governs the Spleen and Stomach; when deficient and controlled, and combined with Dampness injuring the Spleen due to deficiency, the ability to separate clear from turbid is lost. Water and food mix, resulting in severe watery diarrhea (Dongxie). Prolonged Dongxie weakens the Large Intestine. The Large Intestine is Hand-Yangming Dryness-Metal. Earth deficiency fails to generate Metal; thus, Metal Qi becomes deficient, weakening the transmission pathway. Attack by wind-cold causes anal prolapse that cannot retract. The treatment principle is to tonify the Spleen and warm the Stomach, allowing Metal to receive benefit from its mother (Earth) and strengthen its Qi. Primary formulas include *Huoxiang Yin* (for anorexia/lack of milk intake), *Yunqi San* (for hernia), and *Pingwei San* (for anorexia). Subsequently, internal administration of intestinal-astringing agents such as *Jianpi Yin* (for anorexia) and *Yangzang Tang* (for dysentery) is used. External application methods include applying *Fulonggan San* (Dragon Bone Powder) and *Bima Gao* (Castor Oil Paste) to the Fontanelle (Baihui area) to guide Qi upward, allowing spontaneous retraction. Once fully retracted, wash off the paste with water. If pathogenic heat and stagnation accumulate in the Large Intestine without prior clearing, this condition also arises. The anus appears red and soft, the Lung pulse is floating and rapid, the fingerprint on the right hand is purple, there is slight fever, and occasional irritability. Initially administer *Qingfei Yin* (for cough) to disperse and resolve, followed by *Bohe San* and *Panlong San*. Intermittent use of *Wan'an Yin* is also beneficial.
[Xue Ji] Chao Yuanfang stated: Excess-heat causes fecal impaction; deficiency-cold causes anal prolapse. This is mostly due to vomiting and diarrhea causing Spleen Qi deficiency, leaving the Lung un-nourished, resulting in Large Intestine Qi deficiency, leading to prolapse and sinking. Treatment uses *Buzhong Yiqi Tang* (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) or *Sijunzi Tang* (Four Gentlemen Decoction) as the main formula. If the prolapsed tissue is crimson or painful, it indicates Blood deficiency with heat; treat with *Buzhong Yiqi Tang* assisted by *Siwu Tang* (Four Substances Decoction) and *Mudanpi* (Tree Peony Bark). If symptoms are mild and painful, it indicates Qi deficiency with heat; assist with *Sijunzi Tang* and *Mudanpi*. Generally, hot fingers and toes indicate Stomach Qi heat; cold fingers and toes indicate Stomach Qi cold.
[Tang Shi's Formula] For anal prolapse where the Large Intestine exits the anus, fumigate and wash with Scallion Decoction to soften the tissue, then gently push it back. For cases caused by diarrhea, administer anti-diarrheal medicines, followed by *Huaihua* (Sophora Flower) etc. Another method uses a decoction of single-ingredient *Wubeizi* (Galla Chinensis) with *Xiaokuniao* (Mirabilite) for fumigation and washing to shrink the prolapse. Another method uses finely ground *Puhuang* (Pollinis Typhae) mixed with lard, applied to the anus to facilitate reduction.
*Quanying Fang* uses *Sechang San* (Intestine-Astringing Powder). For concurrent hemorrhoid swelling and pain, mix equal parts of *Hongdan* (Red Lead Oxide) and *Huashi* (Talcum) with well water and apply; it resolves immediately. Also apply *Qianbaishuang* (Basic Lead Carbonate) half a qian and *Pian Nao* (Borneol) half a zi, mixed with good wine, applied to the swollen area; this is very effective. *Huanglian Jiedu Tang* (Coptis Decoction for Resolving Toxicity) can also be taken. Washing with *Kushen Tang* (Sophora Decoction) is also effective. Applications of *Miduoseng* (Litharge), *Baifan* (Alum), and powdered *Naozi* (Camphor) are used, along with washing with *Jingjie* (Schizonepeta) and *Fangfeng* (Saposhnikovia).
