放射线“中药化”基础理论探析

A preliminary discussion on the“herbalization”of radioactive rays

放射治疗(简称“放疗”)是恶性肿瘤重要的治疗手段之一。为进一步促进中医药在放疗增效、减毒方面的应用与发展,开展了将放射线“中药化”的研究,本文从中药概念的内涵与外延出发,结合放射线的特性与中药药性理论进行阐释。放射线性热,味辛、苦、咸,归肺、脾、胃、大肠、肝、胆、肾、膀胱经,有毒,有破血消癥、攻毒抑癌之效,可用于多种恶性肿瘤的治疗。此外,还从应用、用法用量、使用注意等方面进行阐释,以期从中医学角度为放射线的临床应用提供指导。

The energy of radioactive rays kills various kinds of tumor cells,which makes radiotherapy one of the most important treatments for malignant tumors.In this paper,we present a study on the"herbalization"of radioactive rays so as to promote the application and development of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in the use of radiotherapy,and to improve its effects and reduce its side effects.According to the theory of TCM,radioactive rays are hot in property,acrid,bitter and salty in flavor,and toxic.Radioactive rays’channel tropism are spleen,stomach,large intestine,liver,gallbladder,kidney and bladder channels.As radioactive rays are effective at breaking blood stasis,resolving mass,and eliminating toxins to inhibit cancer,they are mainly applied to treat a variety of malignant tumors.In addition,the application,the usage and dosage,and the matters need attention are explained in order to provide guidance for the clinical application of radiation from the perspective of TCM.
