摘要
In order to explore the mechanism for the functions of acupuncture on nerve-endocrine-immune(NEI) network,authors carried out systematical analysis on the research progress of regulations on nerve-endocrine-immune network by acupuncture,and investigated current problems and future development tendency.It was found that NEI network was the biological basis for human body to maintain homeostasis and it utilized common medium for transmitting information,and the regulations by acupuncture may activate NEI network or its common medium.Science of acupuncture and moxibustion is the systematical science focusing on integrative regulations,and continuous development of system biology and omics techniques have enabled systematical assurance and comprehensive understanding of network regulatory effects and mechanisms by acupuncture to become new development tendencies.
为从神经一內分泌-免疫(Nerve-endocrine-immune NEI)网络探寻针灸作用的机制,系统地分析了针刺调节NEI网络研究进展,研究目前存在的问题及未来发展趋势。发现NEI网络是人体维持自稳态的生物学基础,存在着传递信息的共同介质,针灸调节作用可能是激活了NEI网络或其共同介质。针灸学是注重整体调节的系统性医学,系统生物学与组学技术的不断发展,使从系统把握和整体认识针刺网络调节效应和机制成为新的发展趋势。
