“肾主纳气”的现代实质与肾脏生化功能的关系

Associating the Modern Essence of Takign-in Air(qì) Function of the Kidney with the Biochemical Function of the Kidney

目的 :从分子水平探讨“肾主纳气”的现代实质。方法 :利用当代生物化学及分子生物学理论。结论 :认为中医“肾主纳气”与肾脏的生化功能在分子水平的深层次上有着较大的契合面。肾脏所分泌的促红细胞生成素 ,能增加血中RBC数量 ,促进血红蛋白合成 ,从而增加血液运O2 功能 ,这是“肾主纳气”的直接证据。此外 ,肾脏的“三泌三保”作用 ,通过对血中HCO3_的调控 ,也直接或间接对机体气体的运输产生影响。正是这样的一“吸”一“纳” ,才构成了生命景观中的对称美和韵律美。

In the moleculer level terms. the expression ofthe kidney's taking-in air (qì) function in traditional chinese medicine and the kidney's biochemical function have more general characters in a deeper part.First of all. Erythropioetin, which secreted by the kidney can add to the amount of RBC, help the synthetize of Hb, improve the bolld to transform O 2 . This is the essential evidence. Secondarly, the kidney's secreting on H + , Na + , NH 3 , through automatieally controls HCO 3 - in blood, effectson the cell's respiration direcrly or undirectly. Thus,it forms the life beauty of symmetryornd rhyme scheme.
