“肾精”与“干细胞”的同一性认识

Research on Identity Between Kidney Essence and Stem Cells

目的：从中医肾精与干细胞对生命现象不同的解读,探讨肾精与干细胞的同一性,为中医药治疗疾病提供新的指导与理论依据。方法：通过对近年来干细胞和肾精相关研究的梳理,探讨两者在生命起源、生理功能、机体过程中较多共性,明确干细胞与中医肾精同一性,并结合课题组对活血化瘀“祛瘀血”和生新”层面在动物实验方面研究,进一步阐释干细胞是“肾精”的重要细胞生物学基础,是“先天之精”、“骨髓之精”和“脏腑之精”在细胞层次的存在形式;并在“干细胞”与“肾精”同一性认识基础上,提出活血化瘀之“肾属性”的中医新理论。结论：明确“干细胞”与“肾精”同一性,为中医药基础理论研究提供新思路。

Objective ： To explore the identity of the kidney essence and stem cells by the kidney essence in TCM theo- ry and stem cells on the different interpretation of life phenomenon to provide a new guidance and theoretical basis for the treatment of diseases by traditional Chinese medicine. Methods： Through the related research about stem cells and kidney essence in recent years, we explored their similarity in the origin of life, physiological function and the body process and made the identity of stem cells and kidney essence, and combined the research of removing damaged tissue and generating new tissue on the basis of generating new level tissue activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis on animal experiment by the research group . We further illustrated that the stem cells are the foundation of the cell biology and existence form of congenital essence, marrow essence and essence of Zangfu - organs at the cell level. Based on the iden- tity cognition of stem cell and kidney essence, we put forward the new theory of kidney property of promoting blood circu- lation and removing blood stasis. Conclusions ： Making the identity of stem cells and kidney essence can provide new ideas for the research on basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine.
