从肺肠互动谈膳食纤维在肺部感染中的作用

Discussion on effect of dietary fiber in lung infection from interaction of lung and gut

中医理论"肺与大肠相表里"和现代研究"肺-肠"轴分别从宏观和微观层面指出肺肠之间的互动关系。基于肺肠互动的中西医认识,膳食纤维在肺部感染中的作用正逐渐被认识。可发酵膳食纤维是参与肺肠互动免疫过程的主要底物,也是肺部感染患者饮食管理的主要选择,平衡和个体化是膳食纤维摄入的基本原则。

The theory that "lung and large gut are mutually connected as the inside and the outside" in traditional Chinese medicine and the concept of lung-gut axis in contemporary research depicted the interactions between the lung and the gut at macro and micro levels, respectively. Based on the interaction between the lung and the gut, the role of dietary fiber in lung infection was gradually being recognized. Fermentable dietary fiber was the main substrate involved in the interactive immune mechanism of the lung and the gut, which also was a main choice for the diet management of patients with lung infection, and balance and individualization were the basic principles of dietary fiber intake.
