The conventional research suggests that breast cancer is caused by genetic mutations, while some advanced studies have found that epigenetics plays an important role in the pathogenesis, prognosis, prevention and treatment of breast cancer Epigenetics is a new direction of research in the field of life sciences.

The conventional research suggests that breast cancer is caused by genetic mutations, while some advanced studies have found that epigenetics plays an important role in the pathogenesis, prognosis, prevention and treatment of breast cancer Epigenetics is a new direction of research in the field of life sciences. Traditional Chinese medicine, like surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and endocrinotherapy, is an important part of comprehensive treatment of breast cancer, especially in the consolidation phase of treatment period,which can prevent recurrence or metastasis of breast cancer The theory of epigenetics has some similarities with the theory of TCM, such as ~Correspondence between human being and nature", ~Tongbing Yizhi" (treating the same disease with different methods), ~Yibing Tongzhi" (treating different diseases with the same method) and the constitution science of TCM. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used to regulate epigenetic modification through DNA methylation, histone modification, miRNA, etc.. The abnormality of epigenetic information can be reversed, which is related to transferring balance between Yin and Yang in the body and making the body restore optimal nature state. This article discusses the application of epigenetics in the study of TCM and in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. It is a multidisciplinary review to explore the basis about epigenetics in prevention and treatment of breast cancer with TCM, and provide a reference for clinical practice展开更多
中药药性理论一直是中医药基础研究的难点和热点,但至今尚未取得重要突破。寒热辨证为中医首要辨证,寒热药性是中药的首要药性,"寒者热之、热者寒之"是中医首要治则,但是究竟寒热药性是否客观存在?能否/如何建立一套客观可行...中药药性理论一直是中医药基础研究的难点和热点,但至今尚未取得重要突破。寒热辨证为中医首要辨证,寒热药性是中药的首要药性,"寒者热之、热者寒之"是中医首要治则,但是究竟寒热药性是否客观存在?能否/如何建立一套客观可行的寒热药性评价方法体系?如何以寒热药性理论及其研究成果指导中医药实践?近年来课题组独辟蹊径,主要从热力学角度对中药寒热药性进行了一系列探索和研究,首次提出了"中医药(药性)热力学观"(thermodynam ic outlook of Ch inesem ed ic ine),建立了"源于临床,证于实验,回归临床"的中药药性研究模式,研制开发一套可用于中药寒热药性差异表征与评价的方法体系(包括冷热板差示法,微量量热法,药性循证医学分析),从体外到体内、从实验到临床,较系统地考察了机体新陈代谢过程中的能量转移和热变化及其不同寒热药性中药的干预效果,揭示中药寒热药性差异的客观性以及"寒者热之、热者寒之"的科学性,为审视和研究中药药性理论提供了新的视角和方法,为中医药现代化发展提供了新的科技支持。展开更多
