中药升降浮沉理论是中药药性理论的重要组成部分和临床用药的重要原则。其现代定义是药物作用于机体后产生的上、下、外、内4种趋向,但其研究现状并不乐观,主要表现为:明确升降浮沉归属的药物数量有限,大多数混乱不统一;理论研究无突破;实验研究严重缺乏等。产生这些问题的根本原因是中药升降浮沉缺少合理的研究假说。针对中药升降浮沉现代内涵的争议,整理分析已有升降浮沉归属的药物,评析实验研究现状,以期从中发现中药升降浮沉理论的研究思路。 The theory of ascending and descending of Chinese medicine is an important part of TCM theory and an important principle of clinical medication. Its modern definition is the four kinds of tendency that the drug exerts on the organism after it is exerted on the organism. However, its current research situation is not optimistic. The main manifestations are as follows: the number of the drugs that ascend and descend is limited and most of the disorder is not unified; the theory No breakthrough in research; a serious lack of experimental research. The root cause of these problems is the lack of reasonable research hypotheses on the ups and downs of traditional Chinese medicine. In view of the controversy over the modern connotation of traditional Chinese medicine floating and sinking, the authors have analyzed and analyzed the status quo of experimental research in order to find out the research ideas of traditional Chinese medicine floating and sinking theory.
