基于“一气周流”理论探讨肠道菌群失调与动脉粥样硬化的关系

Discussion on the Relationship between Intestinal Flora Dysregulation and Atherosclerosis Based on"One Qi Circulation"Theory

“一气周流”是对气机循环的高度概括,即脾胃居中,肝木左升,肺金右降,一身之气周流不息,这对于维持肠道菌群的平衡具有重要意义。若“一气周流”不畅,则气血津液运行失常,肠道菌群失调,火、痰、瘀等病理产物丛生,激活炎症反应,损伤动脉血管,进而导致动脉粥样硬化(AS)的形成。注重和中气、熄阴火、调肠态,以恢复“一气周流”、消除炎症反应、调节菌群平衡,是治疗AS的首要任务。文章以“一气周流”理论为切入点,旨在探讨肠道菌群失调与AS的关系,以期拓宽AS的临床治疗新思路。

The"one Qi circumference"is a high generalization of the Qi movement circulation,that is,the spleen and stomach are in the middle,the liver wood rises to the left,the lung gold falls to the right,and the Qi of the whole body is endless,which is of great significance in maintaining the balance of the intestinal flora.If the"one Qi circumference"is not smooth,the Qi,blood and fluid run abnormally,intestinal flora dysregulation,and the pathological products such as fire,phlegm and blood stasis are cluster,which activates the inflammatory reaction,damages the arterial blood vessels,and then leads to the formation of atherosclerosis(AS).The primary task of treating AS is to pay attention to harmonizing middle Qi,extinguishing Yin fire and regulating intestinal state,so as to restore the"one Qi circumference",eliminate inflammatory reaction and regulate the balance of flora.Based on the theory of"one Qi circulation",this paper aims to explore the the relationship between intestinal flora dysregulation and AS,in order to broaden the new ideas of clinical treatment of AS.
