摘要
中医"气"是构成人体和维持人体生命活动的最基本物质,气的不断运动、变化,衍生出人体的各种生命物质。中医学中气主要富含功能之义,作为物质属性的气,尚缺乏全面系统的研究。为此,笔者结合现代科学研究结果,从线粒体和气的起源、功能、病机和治疗等几个方面进行深入探析,研究结果显示线粒体和气来源相似,共为构成人体的微小物质;其次线粒体和气的功能相类似,同时线粒体和气机失调时生命体征表现出类似或者同样的反应。研究推测气的物质属性是线粒体。
Qi in TCM is the most essential substance that makes up the body and maintains life activities. All vital substances in the body are transformed by constant motion and changes of qi. Qi in TCM mainly means full of functions. What is the basic material attribute of qi？ We don＇t have a systematic study on it. Therefore, we combined the achievement of modern medicine, and explored further from the origin, functions, pathogeneses, and therapies of mitochondria and qi. Surprisingly, we found out that the origin of mitochondria was similar to that of qi. They are tiny substance constituting the human body. Secondly, the function of mitochondria is similar to that of qi. When the disorder of qi and mitochondria occurs, similar vital signs occur or the same reactions occur. These results suggested that the basic material attribute of qi might be mitochondria.
