中药药性组合的配伍理论模型初探

药性是中药的特定属性,药性理论是中药配伍的重要原则,该文以性味归经共同组成的药性组合表征中药药性,多个药性组合再构成药性组合模式,把中药及药性组合模式按功效划分,将各功效作为概念进行归纳逻辑编程,得出针对不同功效的药性组合配伍规律,通过实体语法系统构建药性组合配伍理论模型,实现由药性组合配伍向功效的自动推理过程,并对推理结果进行验证,分析其合理性及局限性,为揭示中药配伍规律及药性与功效间关系的研究提供新的思路。

Theoretical model for compatibility of medicinal property combination of traditional Chinese medicines

Medicinal properties are specific attributes of traditional Chinese medicines(TCM). The medicinal property theory is an important principle for the compatibility of traditional Chinese medicines. In this paper, medicinal properties, flavors and meridian tropism were combined to represent TCM medicinal properties; and multiple medicinal properties were further combined into medicinal property combination modes. TCMs and medicinal property combination modes were divided according to their efficacies, which were regarded as the concept of inductive logic programming and finally got medicinal property combination and compatibility rules with different efficacies. These medicinal property combination and compatibility rules were used to form the theoretical model through the entity grammar system, realize the automatic reasoning process from the medicinal property combination and compatibility to the efficacies, verify the reasoning result and analyze their rationality and limitations, in order to provide new ideas for revealing the relations between the TCM compatibility rules and efficacies.
