适应性平衡:中医药疗效的核心机制

Adaptive Balance: Core Mechanism of Chinese Medicine Efficacy

中医药疗效的核心机制是适应性平衡作用。以许多慢性疾病经中医药治疗后检测指标或病灶虽然无明显变化,但其症状和体征却明显改善这一普遍的临床现象为切入点,从中医学传统的辨治思维、临床实践及相关研究等多角度探讨了中医药疗效特征及作用机制。认为中医学系统关联的整体观融天人合一、环境因素、脏腑相关等承制相因的学术思维,以及中药复方个性化配伍等非线性复杂作用机制,成就了中医药所特有的即适应性平衡作用。适应性平衡不只是构筑相对的健康状态,其动态递进的新平衡亦是疾病痊愈的基础。

The core mechanism of Chinese medicine therapeutic efficacy is adaptive balance effect. Take the common clinical phenomenon that symptoms and signs of many chronic diseases are obviously improved after Chinese medicine treatment but without significant changes in results of laboratory test or pathological examination as the breakthrough point,the author explores the mechanism of Chinese medicine efficacy from angles of traditional Chinese medicine therapeutic thinking,clinical practice and related researches,etc. The author holds that the whole view related to Chinese medicine system is an academic thinking,including correspondence between man and universe,environmental factors and Zang-Fu relationship,and other interactions. These academic thinking and nonlinear complex mechanism,such as individual compatibility of herbs compound,achieve the unique core mechanism of Chinese medicine,which is called adaptive balance effect. Adaptive balance establishes not only relative healthy status,but dynamically progressive new balance which is also the base of disease recovery.
