含有马兜铃酸中药的安全性是近年国内外关注的热点话题,上海交通大学医学院公共卫生学院栾洋课题组围绕马兜铃酸致癌毒性开展了系列研究,并积极组织学术讨论,继2015年和2018年开展专题讨论会后,再次邀请本领域相关研究人员就马兜铃酸与肝癌的相关性这一科学问题,发表新研究进展、综述和各自不同的学术观点,形成本专辑,以期为中药不良反应(特别是致癌性)的风险评估及防控提供有价值的参考,以及为如何科学地传承中医药提供宝贵的思路。

The safety of aristolochic acids(AAs)-containing Chinese herbal medicine has raised concern inrecent years. Dr. Luan Yang with her team, are studying on the carcinogenesis of AAs in School of PublicHealth, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.

The present special issue aims to present the ongoingprogress in AAs carcinogenesis studies, containing research articles, reviews and insights, with contributionsfrom the leading researchers and groups in the area of Chinese herbal medicine safety study. Together withthe summary of workshops on AAs safety, this issue will provide valuable reference for risk assessment andprevention and control of adverse reactions(especially carcinogenicity) of Chinese herbal medicine, andprovide valuable ideas for how to scientifically inherit traditional Chinese medicine.
