血瘀证日本研究现状及分子生物学分析

Blood stasis syndrome is one of the pathological concepts of Oriental traditional medicine. In Oriental traditional medicine, blood is thought of as not only blood but also as a living component of the body. In fact, blood stasis syndrome is related to not just circulation disorders but dermatological and gynecological and other diseases. In Japan, the concept of blood stasis syndrome is based on the past literature, for instance, Synopsis of Golden Chamber （Jin Kui Yao Lue）, etc. There are many signs of this syndrome, such as a dry mouth, fullness of the abdomen and rough skin. However, the levels of importance of these signs had been unclear. Therefore, in order to determine the levels of seriousness, a scoring system of blood stasis syndrome was made based on multivariate analysis by Dr. Terasawa （Terasawa＇s Blood Stasis Score）. Using the scoring system, we have studied blood stasis syndrome mainly related to blood circulation using modem techniques of analysis. From the results, we found that patients with blood stasis syndrome showed hemorheological abnormalities, and an improvement in these abnormalities was shown after administration of removing-blood stasis formulae. Furthermore, we have studied blood stasis syndrome from the point of view of molecular biology. We searched for the specific protein expression in blood stasis syndrome by proteomic analysis, and found no specific protein expression. However, there may be a possibility of developing a diagnostic algorithm for blood stasis by construction of a decision tree. During the past few years, as one of the molecular biological factors affecting blood stasis syndrome, we have been studying hypoxia inducible factor, which is located in the upstream of many genes. Above all, blood stasis syndrome is more than just circulatory deficit but encompasses the pathological concept of constant multilateral change in the living body.
