摘　　要：中药药性是药物性质与功能的高度概括,反映了中药干预机体后的作用倾向。中药药性表达即中药药性的生物学表达,描述了将药性所蕴含的作用及功能信息表现在生物载体上的过程。由于药性表达涉及中药与机体两大复杂系统,故其具有复杂性特征。第一,药性表达的影响因素十分复杂,药材的生长环境、采收季节、炮制加工等,以及机体的体质、证候等,均可影响实际的药性表达结果;第二,鉴于药物个性特征,相同药性的不同中药会通过不同的药效作用(指标)表达药性,其药性表达方式多样。中药药性表达具有多样性特征,药性实质研究应密切关注影响药性表达的各因素。Chinese herbal property is the highly summarized concept of herbal nature and pharmaceutical effect, which reflect the characteristics of herbal actions on human body. These herbal actions, also interpreted as presenting the information about pharmaceutical effect contained in herbal property on the biological carrier, are defined as herbal property expressions. However, the biological expression of herbal property is believed to possess complex features for the involved complexity of Chinese medicine and organism. Firstly, there are multiple factors which could influence the expression results of herbal property such as the growth environment, harvest season and preparing methods of medicinal herbs, and physique and syndrome of body. Secondly, there are multiple biological approaches and biochemical indicators for the expression of the same property. This paper elaborated these complexities for further understanding of herbal property. The individuality of herbs and expression factors should be well analyzed in the related studies.
