Abstract

Abstract The human microbiome has become a new frontier of life sciences and plays a crucial role in determining individual and population health. Over thousands of years of medical practice, practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) developed an understanding of the importance and activity of commensal microorganisms without access to modern technology. In this review, we examine the theoretical similarities between modern studies of the human microbiome and TCM, and propose feasible strategies to integrate the 2 fields. Advances in our understanding of the human microbiome will also help to modernize the practice of TCM, thereby providing a basis for bridging the gap between modern medicine and TCM.
人体微生物组为中医带来新见解
人体微生物组已成为生命科学的一个新前沿,在决定个体和人群健康方面起着至关重要的作用。在数千年的医学实践中,中医(TCM)的从业者在没有现代技术的情况下,对共生微生物的重要性和活性有了认识。在这篇综述中,我们分析了现代人类微生物组研究与中医之间的理论相似性,并提出了整合这两个领域的可行策略。我们对人体微生物组的理解的进步也将有助于中医实践的现代化,从而为弥合现代医学与中医之间的差距提供基础。
