基于《内经》“肺热叶焦,则生痿躄”理论探讨肺与骨质疏松症之间的关系

A discussion about the relationship between the lung and osteoporosis-based on the theory, the scorched lung will cause atrophy and flaccidity, from the Yellow Emperors Internal Classics

《内经》"肺热叶焦,则生痿躄"理论明确提出中医肺脏与痿证即骨质疏松症(osteoporosis,OP)发病具有相关性。笔者将集中探讨肺与骨质疏松症发生的相关性,并列举由肺病导致的其他脏器病变所致的肺-肾-骨质疏松症;肺-脾-骨质疏松症以及肺-肝-骨质疏松症之间发生的关联性,希望能为现代临床治疗此病提供可行的中医学理论依据,更好地体现及发挥中医药在此病治疗中的优势。

The theory that the scorched lung will cause atrophy and flaccidity in the Yellow Emperors Internal Classics clearly points out that there is a correlation between Chinese medicine lung and flaccidity syndrome, namely osteoporosis(OP). This paper will focus on the correlation between the lung and osteoporosis, and enumerate the osteoporosis caused by other organ diseases: such as pulmonary-kidney-osteoporosis;lung-spleen-osteoporosis, and lung-liver-osteoporosis. Hoping that this paper can provide a feasible theoretical basis for the modern clinical treatment of this disease, and that traditional Chinese medicine may take the advantage in the treatment of this disease.
