基于“心与小肠相表里”理论探讨肠道微生态与骨质疏松症的关系

The relationship between intestinal microecology and osteoporosis based on the theory of"the heart and small intestine are internally and externally related to each other"

近年来相关研究显示,肠道微生态在骨质疏松症的发生发展中起着重要作用。中医脏腑理论密切关注脏腑之间的生理病理关系,以中医经典《内经》"心与小肠相表里"理论为基础,探讨心、小肠、肠道微生态与骨质疏松症之间的关系。研究发现肠道微生态可能是心系疾病导致骨质疏松症的途径之一,这一发现可能为骨质疏松症的研究与防治提供一定的理论依据。

Recent studies have shown that intestinal microecology plays an important role in the development of osteoporosis.The Zang-Fu theory of TCM closely focuses on the physiological and pathological relationship between Zang-Fu organs.Based on the theory of"the heart and small intestine are internally and externally related to each other"set forth in Neijing(Canon of Internal Medicine),the TCM classic,the relationships between osteoporosis and heart,small intestine and intestinal microecology were explored.It is found that intestinal microecology may be one way through which heart diseases can lead to osteoporosis.This finding may provide a theoretical basis for the research on and prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.
