从“同类不可离”解析相须科学内涵

An Scientific Explanation of the Mutual Promotion Drug Pair from its Similarity and Unseparability

《本草纲目》解释"相须"即"同类不可离也"。我们通过整理古代和现代文献,结合现代系统论理论认为相须药对常具有相辅相成、相互制约的特点,其增效作用是非加加性的体现。因此,建议重点进行相须药对(如人参白术相须治疗脾虚证)配伍前后物质基础、生物活性作用强度、作用靶点、调节方式等方面对比研究,以揭示相须"同类不可离"的科学内涵。

Ben Cao Gang Mu had explained that the mutual promotion drug pair meant they were similar but unseparable. We recognize that the part member in a mutual promotion drug pair often complements the other one and interacts with each other and the effects of the pair is not additive of the two after sorting out the ancient masters and the modern papers and combining with the modem system theory. So we command that the comparing studies on the material basis and the intensity, the target and the controlling way of the biological activity of the mutual promotion drug pair before and after matching should be intensively carried out to discover the scientific meaning of similarity and unseparability of the mutual promotion drug pair such as Renshen and Baizhu which can treat spleen-deficiency）.
