    信号分子在生命过程中起着重要作用,它的传输通路对调节生理功能和病理的发展具有决定性作用。但是我们对这些通路的认识仍不全面。中医用阴阳五行来描述人体内的生理过程,但至今还没找到科学依据支持中医理论。黄帝内经认为心肝脾肺肾(五行)各有其阳阴气,并指出了每个“行”的生理功能和五行之间的相互关系。我们用迭代筛选法,将信号分子与黄帝内经所列各“行”的生理功能和相互关系一一比较,找出了五行中阳阴气与信号分子之间的直接映射,而满足这些关系的概率大概为十万分之二到百万分之一。这使我们发现阴阳五行实际上描述了人体中信号分子的传输通路,中草药的功用是调节各个信号分子。通过这一映射关系,可以清楚地看到现代医学和中医对一些疾病,如血尿、 [...]
