Discussion on Transportation and accumulation of Microplastics in Vivo from Theory of"Spleen Governing Transportation and Transformation"
As a new type of pollutant,microplastics has biological hazard,and its internal process has not been clarified.The transportation and accumulation mechanism of microplastics in the body is the premise to understand its harm and the key link to prevent its harm,but the mechanism is not clear at present.Lipid transportation via apolipoprotein is closely related to the func-tion of"spleen governing transportation and transformation".Whether microplastics,which are similar to lipids,are also regulated by spleen function remains to be clarified.By elucidating the relationship between microplastics and apolipoprotein to explore their transportation mechanism,and by exploring the storage mechanism of microplastics through the spatio-temporal characteris-tics of the accumulation of lipoprotein in spleen deficiency ointment,it will be helpful to understand the physiological process and storage conditions of microplastics in vivo and deepen the new connotation of spleen image theory of traditional Chinese medicine under the background of modern knowledge.
