摘要
本文对近年来经络研究的新进展作了概述:(1)从穴位和经脉所在的深层组织发现有筋膜、结缔组织、肥大细胞、胶原纤维及组织液积聚,它们在经络感传中发挥了重要作用;(2)资料涉及循经感传的特征、神经生物学基础。涉及经络功能的整体性,即同一经脉上的不同穴位具有同一的临床效应;介绍了络脉的作用和跨节段长距离传递的机制;(3)经脉—脏腑双相联系的客观证明;(4)关于基因芯片技术在经络研究中的应用。在研究动向方面,经络研究的目标转向功能性探讨,着重于体表—内脏相关的研究;合理分配临床实践和实验室研究的比重和协调;面对近年来的国际竞争,中国的医务和科技工作者感到有不可推诿的责任,从而加速推动经络的研究进程。
This review summarizes the newest advances in recent researches on meridian. Firstly, fascia, connective tissue, mast cells, fibroglia fibrils and interstitial fluid are found accumulated under the deeper layer tissue of the acupoints and channels, thus giving indications of their important role in the propagated sensation along meridian. Secondly, the supplementary data involve the characteristics and the neurobiological basis of propagated sensation along meridian, which suggest that the function of the meridian is of integrity, i.e. the points on different segments of the same channel produce a uniform clinical effect. The effect of Luomai {collateral, branch of the large channel) and the mechanism of long dis- tance of transmission across spinal segments are introduced. Thirdly, the objective evidence of channel-viscera bi-directional correlativity. Lastly, the application of the gene chip technique to meridian research. As for the main trends in the researches of meridian, the emphases are laid on the function of acupoints and channels, on the correlation between the channel and internal organs, on the rational distribution of proportion as well as on the coordination of meridian research between laboratory experiments and clinical practices. Recently, faced to international competition, Chinese physicians and researchers feel an unshrinkabte duty and are making a greater effort to carry out researches on the meridian.
