A Preliminary study on the correlation between traditional Chinese medicine's"Keeping healthy Qi and preventing evil pathogens"and the body's endogenous anti-injury response
Endogenous anti-injury response is an important self-protection mechanism for the organism to eliminate bacteria and viruses in the body and maintain the homeostasis of the organism.By inducing related protective proteins,it makes the body's own defense system produce trigger substances and intermediary substances to fight damage,thereby activating effector substanc-es such as metallothionein,heat shock protein,nitric oxide,mitotin-activated protein kinase and related signaling pathways,improving the body's ability to adapt to diseases and resist damage,which is an important way to prevent and control diseases and maintain the body's homeostasis.The traditional Chinese medicine theory of"Keeping healthy Qi(气)and preventing evil pathogens"is a high generaliza-tion of the human body to play the function of disease resistance,exorcism,regulation,repair and the body's ability to adapt to extemal stimuli,clarifying that healthy Qi plays a leading role in the occurrence and development of diseases,and the deficiency of healthy Qi is a prerequisite for the occurrence of diseases.And the normal physiological function of positive Qi should meet the three basic conditions of"sufficiency","passibility"and"harmony".Endogenous anti-injury response is closely related to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine"Keeping healthy Qi and preventing evil pathogens",which indicates that the deficiency of healthy Qi and the decline of resistance are the preconditions for the disease of the body,and the important reason for the disease is that healthy Qi and anti-injury substances cannot reach the diseased site.Based on the TCM theory of"Keeping healthy Qi and preventing evil pathogens"and the prevention and control charac-teristics,prevention and control pathways and material basis of the body's endogenous anti-injury response,this paper studies the correla-tion between the body's endogenous anti-injury response and the TCM theory of"Keeping healthy Qi and preventing evil pathogens",and reveals its important role in disease prevention and diagnosis and treatment.
