"Correlation Analysis between ""Fei Qi Being Responsible for Administration and Regulation"" Theory and Autonomic Nerve Related Functions" / 世界科学技术-中医药现代化

ABSTRACT

In this paper, Chinese medicine theory about Fei Qi being responsible for administration and regulationwas carried out as a topic. The modern scientific research achievement had been integrated to propose a hypothesis about the function of Fei Qi that related with postganglionic fibers dominated autonomic effector's physiological functions. By analyzing the mechanism and clinical application of adrenergic receptors and cholinergic receptors agonist or antagonist drugs, and summarizing some related effective compounds from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), we tried to clarify the basic role of Fei Qi is checking the balance of yin and yang, which is consistent with sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve regulated functions. After interpreting of modern biological knowledge, we aimed to develop a systematic integrated medicine which fused eastern and western wisdom. Finally, the guiding role of the theory derived from visceral manifestation should be expected fully in the research and development of modern drugs. The application of this theory will be a profound meaning to lead the prevention and clinical treatment for a variety of refractory diseases.
