针灸与纳米技术学科交叉的现状与研究策略探讨

Discussion on the Current Situation and Strategy of Interdisciplinary Acupuncture and Moxibustion and Nanotechnology

纳米材料有不同于宏观物质的优秀性能,在医学领域显示出巨大应用前景。笔者对近些年针灸与纳米技术学科交叉的一些研究成果进行分析总结,发现纳米技术已经在经络的本质研究、疗效生物学机制探索及增强疗效方面都有应用。提出未来应着重开展以问题为导向、整合多种传感功能和纳米材料多种性能的学科交叉研究,以及纳米新材料的生物相容性研究,促进临床转化应用。

Nanotechnology has excellent properties that are different from macroscopic substances and has shown great application prospects in the medical field. The author analyzed and summarized some research results of acupuncture and moxibustion and nanotechnology in recent years, and found that nanotechnology has been applied in the study of the essence of meridians, the exploration of the biological mechanism of curative effect, and the enhancement of curative effect. It is proposed that in the future, we should focus on interdisciplinary research that is problem-oriented,integrating multiple sensing functions and multiple properties of nanomaterials, as well as the biocompatibility research of new nanomaterials to promote clinical translational applications.
