五志化火是指由于精神情志刺激,影响了机体阴阳、气血和脏腑生理的平衡,造成气机郁结,郁久则从阳化热,致火热内生。炎症因子是指参与炎症反应的各种细胞因子。实质上炎症就是机体与炎症因子进行全面斗争的客观反映。在长期临床观察思考的基础上,通过查阅、参考、总结国内外关于五志化火和炎症因子的相关文献,发现五志化火与炎症因子之间存在着某种相关性,旨在初步探讨这种相关性的理论依据。
The theory of transformation of five minds into fire means that it may course the imbalances of yin, yang, qi, blood and zang-fu organs in the body when emotion is stimulated. The imbalance will course depression of qi movement and generation of internal fire. Inflammatory factors are different cytokines involving in inflammatory responses, and the inflammation is essentially an objective reflection of general struggle between human body and inflammatory factors. The authors have found out the correlation between transformation of five minds into fire and inflammatory factors and explored theoretical foundation through long time clinical observation and retrieving, referring to and summarizing relevant domestic and foreign literature.
