人体内新的功能系统--支持储备及自体监控系统新学说

现代生物学研究认为:人体的最基本功能单位是细胞;功能类似的细胞构成组织;不同的组织构成具有一定形态和功能的器官;多个功能类似的器官组成特定功能的系统。人体现已确认的九大功能系统,分别为消化、呼吸、泌尿、生殖、循环、运动、感官、神经和内分泌。根据胚胎发育的三胚层原理及发育生物学理论和现代医学生物学的研究结果,结合我们在数字人研究过程中的发现,笔者认为由中胚层间充质分化成多个器官系统后,所遗留的部分形成遍布全身的结缔组织筋膜支架,筋膜以干细胞为中心,为其他功能细胞的再生提供细胞储备和支持——称之为支持储备系统;该支架在神经系统和免疫系统的作用下,参与机体内环境变化的检测与功能状态的调控——称之为自体监控系统。因此,我们提出了人体内存在第十个功能系统——支持储备及自体监控系统(筋膜学)的新学说。筋膜学理论的意义在于:①提出新的功能系统,即支持储备及自体监控系统(筋膜学),开辟新的学科研究领域;②解释中医疗法的生物学基础和治疗机制,为实现现代中医经络研究提供了医学生物学基础;③为临床疑难病症的机理研究提供新的途径,如人体的发育和衰老,筋膜发育的缺陷,肿瘤的发生和转移、治疗的机制等等。

Fasciology: A New Theory on the Human Self-supervision and Control System

Modern biology considers a cell as a basic functional unit of human being, and then the cells with similar function organize a tissue; furthermore, different tissues organize an organ with a certain shape and function; in the end, several organs organize as a functional system. It is well known that there are nine functional systems in human being, namely, digestive, respiratory, urinary, reproductive, circulatory, motor, sensory organ, nervous and endocrinal systems. Now we put forward a new system, which is the 10th functional system-human self-supervision and control system. The study of digital human body showed that there are some special imaging structures of the fascia and connective tissues, including some lines and points, exist in the human body. Then, we found the distribution of these lines and points have close relationship with that of traditional meridian and acu-points system. Meridian and acu-points system is a functional system, and how about the fascia and connective tissues? The above result was analyzed combined with the theories of tridermic principle of embryonic development, developmental biology and modern medical biology. The mesoblastic mesenchyme differentiates the organs and systems. After that, the rest part of the mesenchyme forms the fascia and connective network. The fascia and connective system, based on the stem cells, provides cellular storage and supply for the reproduction of the other functional cells. In the mean time, the system takes part in the supervision of the internal circumstance and the regulation of the functional state of the body through nervous and endocrinal systems. Hence, it is named the "human self-supervision and control system", and the theory on the new system is named "fasciology". The study of fasciology opens a new field in biology by putting forward the new functional system. And the study also gives a biological explain for the mechanism of acupuncture, meridians and acu-points. Besides, the study can provide some new thoughts on inviting new methods and techniques for the difficulty and complicated diseases, such as developmental defect, senility and cancers.
