从肿瘤的糖代谢考察其“阳”体特性

Investigation of the Yang Feature of Tumor from Its Glycometabolism

相对于人体正常组织,肿瘤的代谢活跃,细胞增殖快,糖酵解功能比率高,容易侵犯周围组织和远处转移,这些特点符合中医阴阳学说中对"阳"的定义。本文作者基于肿瘤的糖代谢特点,及其相关基因、酶学的改变,从分子生物学角度考察了在体内肿瘤的"阳"属性。并通过基于Warburg原理的PET-CT在肿瘤学中的运用,将影像学表现与阴阳理论融合,体现了阴阳理论的实际运用。

Comparing with normal tissue, tumor has higher metabolism activity, fast multiplying and higher glycolysis rate, invasion of tissues around and metastasis. These features are coinci dent capability, with the definition of Yang in Traditional Chinese Medical Yin-Yang theory. This paper investigated the Yang feature of tumor from molecular biology aspect, based the glycometabolism features and the changes of relative genes and enzymes. Through the application of PET-CT in oncology based on Warburg effect, we combined Yin-Yang theory with tumor iconography changes in this paper and embodied the practical application of Yin-Yang theory
