【摘要】 支气管哮喘(简称哮喘)属世界多发病,疑难病,其发病机制目前尚不十分明确。因此,对于哮喘的防治存在一定的困难。当今的研究表明:Th1/Th2的失衡与哮喘的发病有着密切的关系,但是西医对于这一失衡问题缺乏有效的解决方法,中医药运用多途径、多环节、多靶点的治疗特点能有效解决这一问题。回顾中医药防治哮喘的相关研究,结合中医理论与西医发病机理,探讨中医药防治哮喘与Th1/Th2的平衡调节关系,以期为哮喘的防治开辟新思路与方法。更多还原

【Abstract】 Bronchial asthma(asthma) is one of most common and stubborn diseases in the world.It is difficult to prevent and to treat asthma because of its unclear pathogenesis.Past research indicates that the abnormal dynamics of Th1/Th2 plays a key role in the pathogenesis of asthma.However,mainstream medicine lacks effective methods to adjust this imbalance.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) addresses this problem by targeting the multiple pathways,processes or genes.Here we review research works related to asthma prevention and treatment by TCM.We further discuss the imbalance of Th1/Th2,as well as its relationship with the pathogenesis of asthma,in order to provoke stimulating thinking and to formulate innovative approaches for prevention and treatment of asthma.更多还原
