摘要:

中医时间医学是以“天人相应”为核心，研究自然时间节律与人体周期性生命活动间对应关系，以指导疾病预防、诊疗和预后的学科。肝癌在癌症导致的相关性死亡中高居第3位，严重危及人体健康。肝为“将军之官”，主疏泄，体阴而用阳，其功能的显著节律性与规律的饮食、劳作等生命活动息息相关。因此，紊乱的生物节律也势必对肝癌的发展和病情的恶化有着推动作用。文章从中医时间医学角度探讨肝与生物节律的相关性，具体阐述作息和饮食节律对肝脏发展的影响，并结合现代生物钟理念，探讨肝癌时间疗法的应用，希望能丰富临床对肝癌的认知并提供一些潜在的有效治疗手段。

Abstract:

Traditional Chinese medicine time medicine is the study of the relationship between natural time rhythms and cyclical biological rhythms of the human body based on the core principle of “correspondence of human body and nature environment”，which guides the prevention，diagnosis，treatment and prognosis of diseases. Liver cancer is the third most common cause of cancer-related deaths in the world with a serious threat to human health. The liver as “official of the general” with yang for yin function governs conveyance and dispersion，and the rhythmic nature of the liver’s function is reflected in its regulation of various biological rhythms，including rest，diet and work. Therefore，the disruption of the biological rhythm inevitably plays a promoting role in the development and deterioration of liver cancer. The review discusses the correlation between liver and biological rhythm from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine time medicine，specifies the influence of rest and diet rhythm on liver development，and discusses the application of liver cancer chronotherapy in conjunction with modern biological clock concept，hoping to enrich the clinical knowledge of liver cancer and provide some potential effective treatment options.
