论急性放射损伤的中医学病因:电离辐射毒

急性放射损伤是近现代才出现的一种病症,目前中医对其尚缺乏规范的认识。因其具有外袭性、起病急、热象明显、易伤阴动血等特点,所以笔者认为其属于中医温病范畴。而引起急性放射损伤的电离辐射则应为一种温热毒邪,又因其具有独特的地方,故将其命名为电离辐射毒。电离辐射毒发病条件单一,致病暴烈,易直中中焦与肾精,毒邪若盛则机体损伤严重,治疗困难,甚至形成恶性病变。文章深入探讨了电离辐射毒的概念和致病特点,有利于更好地运用中医药对其进行防治。

Tissue toxicity induced by ionizing radiation to the normal intestine:Understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms to improve the medical management

At the present time, more than one-half of all cancer patients are treated with radiation therapy. Despite a good therapeutic index, radiotherapy can disable normal tissue injury to normal tissues in long-term cancer survivors.Thus, an important challenge to modern radiation therapy is to increase the tolerance of normal tissues,
