【Chapter 1】The connection can be so close that no movement is possible, as is the case in the skull. Other kinds of joints permit movement: either back and forth in one plane—as with the hinge joint of the elbow— or movement around a single axis—as with the pivot joint that permits the head to rotate.颅骨不能运动,是由於骨与骨之间的连接太过紧密.但其他的关节可允许活动,如一个平面上的前後屈身运动,如肘关节;或是绕轴心旋转运动,如枢轴点允许头部转动.The ends of these muscles are attached to different bones by connective tissue bands so that when the muscle contracts, one bone moves in relation to the other. This makes it possible to move the whole body, as when walking, or to move jus one part of the body, as when bending a finger.结缔组织是肌肉末端附着於不同的骨面上,所以当肌肉收缩时,两骨彼此靠近而产生运动.这也就使整个人体可以运动起来,如走路,运动躯体某个部位,如弯曲手指.The heart is a muscle that is divided into two nearly identical halve: one half receives blood from the lungs and sends it to the rest of the body, the other half sends blood that has traveled through the body back to the lungs.心脏是一块被分为几乎对等两半的肌肉.一办吸收来自肺部的血液,并把血液运送到机体的其余部位,另一半使流经全身的血液回流入肺.The trachea divides to enter each of the two lungs and then divides more than 20 times to form a very large number of small air spaces. Oxygen from the air enters the blood through capillaries in the walls of these air spaces, and the blood releases carbon dioxide into the air spaces to be exhaled.气管分成左右支气管,各连结左右肺,左右之气管在分支20多次,在终端形成大量为小的肺泡.从空气摄取的氧气流经这些肺泡壁内的毛喜血管流入血液.血液在经肺泡把释放出的二氧化碳排出体外.The urinary system maintains normal levels of water and of certain small molecules such as sodium and potassium in the body. It does this by passing blood through the kidneys, two efficient filtering organs that get rid of any excess of various molecules and conserve those molecules that are in short supply.泌尿系统维持水分及体内某些小分子物质,如钠`钾的正常水平.身体是通过让肾过滤血液来做到这一点的.肾是两个有效的过滤器官,他滤出各种多余的小分子物质,保留那些供应不足的小分子物质.A major gland is the pituitary, which is located under the brain in the middle of the head. It produces at least eight hormones, which affect growth, kidney function, and development of the sex organs.脑垂体是一个主要的腺体,他位於头中部脑下方.他至少分泌八种激素,这些激素对人体生长,肾功能及性器官发育有影响.The female productive system is responsible for producing and transporting ova( the female sex cells), eliminating ova from the body when they are not fertilized by sperm, nourishing and provid- ing a place for growth of an embryo when an ovum is fertilizedby sperm, and nourishing a newborn child.女性生殖系统产生,输送卵子(女性性细胞),将未受精的卵子排出体外,而当精,卵结合时,女性生殖系统培养,提供胚胎生长场所,并孕育新生儿.【Chapter 2】A symptom is something a patient can de-tect, such as fever, bleeding, or pain. A sign is something a doctor can detect, such as a swollen blood vessel or an enlarged internal body organ.症状是病人自己就能察觉到的,比如,高烧,流血,或是疼痛.而徵兆则是医生所能够观察到的,比如,血管扩张或是体内器官肿大.The skin and mucous membranes covering the body or lining its openings offer considerable resis-tance to invasion by bacteria and other infectious organisms. If these physical barriers are injured or burned, infection resistance drops. In minor cases, only boils or pimples may develop. In major cases, however m large areas of the body might become infected.覆盖在体表或者器官开口处的皮肤和黏膜能在很大程度上抵抗细菌或其他感染体的入侵.如果这些屏障遭到了损坏或损伤,身体对感染的抵抗力就会下降.在一些病情较轻的病例中,疥子和小脓胞可能会发生.在病情较重的病例中,身体的大面积区域则可能会被感染.Breathing passages are especially vulnerable to infection. Fortunately, they are lined with mu-cus-secreting cells that trap tiny organisms and dust particles. Also, minute hairs called cilia line the breathing passages, wave like a field of wheat, and gently sweep matter out of the respiratory tract.呼吸通道尤其容易受到感染,幸运的是,呼吸道内附盖满了能分泌黏液的细胞,他们能捕捉微小的有机体和尘粒.另外,被叫做纤毛的细小毛发也覆盖了呼吸道,他们像微风下麦田里的小麦一样舞动着,轻轻地将异物扫出呼吸道.In addition, foreign mater in the breathing passages can often be ejected by nose blowing, coughing, sneezing, and throat clearing.除此之外,呼吸道内的异物还常常因为擤鼻涕`咳嗽`打喷嚏和清喉咙而被弹出.Unless the abscess breaks and allows the pus to drain, the infection is likely to spread.如果脓块不破裂,里面的脓不排除掉,感染很可能会扩大.1.Each antibody is made of a heavy chain of chemical subunits, or amino acids, anda light chain of them. The light chain has special sites where the amino acidscan link with their com-plements on the antigen molecule.每一个抗体由一条化学亚单位(及氨基酸)的重链和一条轻链所构成.这条轻链上有特别的部位,在那里,氨基酸能使其补体和抗原分子相连.2.In some cases, through the process of opsonization, antibodies “butter” thesurface of some antigens and make them “tastier” to phagocytes, which engulf the antigens.在某些情况下,通过调理素作用的过程,抗体在抗原表面涂抹上一些”奶油”,让吞噬细胞更喜欢吞噬他们.3.Sometimes an antibody hooks to bacterial antigen but needs an intermediate, orcomplement, to actually destroy the bacterium, As the antibody-antigen complex circulates in the blood, the complex “fixes” complement to it.在另一些情况下,抗体和一个细菌抗原合上以後,却需要一个中间体,或补体来实施对该细菌的消灭.於是,当抗体和抗原的结合体随血液循环时,该结合体会有一个补体附体.4.During the first day or so , antibodies against the infection cannot be found inthe blood. But this is only because the basic cells involved in antibody production have been triggered by the presence of antigen to multiply themselves.在第一天左右,血液中没有发现对付传染病的抗体,但是,这只是因为涉及抗体制造的基本细胞已被当前的抗原存在所触发而准备开始繁殖.【Chapter 3】The fleshy belly is attached to one bone while the tendon passes over a joint to become firmly attached to the adjoining bone.肌腱跨过关节牢固连接相邻的两块骨头,而腹肌则与骨头紧密相接.Shortening of the fleshy part of the muscle produces movement at the joint by pulling on the tendon. The tendon itself does not change in length.腹肌收缩拉动肌腱使关节运动,而肌腱本身的长度是不变的.The many bundles surrounded by the fibrous connective tissue fascia form the fleshy belly of the muscle.许多纤维束又被纤维结缔组织筋膜所包绕,最後形成肌肉的肌腹部份.The relation of the muscle bundles to the tendons is that the muscle bundles ate surrounded and held together by the fibrous connective tissue that is continuous with the fibrous connective tissue of the tendonous part of the muscle.肌束和肌腱之间的关系是:肌束被纤维结缔组织包绕并连接在一起,纤维结缔组织又与肌键部份的结缔组织相延续.The nerve fibers separate within a muscle with a terminal branch of the nerve going to each muscle fiber.在一块肌肉中神经纤维可分枝出许多神经末梢,分配到每块肌纤维中.【Chapter 4】Flat bones are generally thin and composed of two more or less parallel plates of compact bone enclosing a layer of spongy bone.扁骨一般较薄,由两层大致平行的骨密质骨板围绕一层松质骨构成.Bones undergoing either intramembranous or endochondral ossification are continually remodeled from he time that initial calcification occurs until the final structure appears.自最初的钙化发生开始,骨通过膜内骨化或软骨内骨化而不断地得以重塑,直至最後结构的形成.And still others, espe-cially the sex hormones, aid osteoblastic activity and thuspromote the growth of new bone. The sex hormones act as a double-edged sword. They aid in the growth of new bone, but they also bring about the degeneration of all the cartilage cells in epiphyseal plates.还有其他激素,特别是性激素,协助成骨细胞活动因而促进骨生长.性激素作用具有两面性,他能促进骨生长,但也使骺板所有软骨细胞退化.There are two principal effects of aging on the skeletal sys-tem. The first effect is the loss of calcium from bones.衰老对骨骼系统有两个主要作用.第一个作用是骨钙丧失.The second principal effect of aging on the skeletal system is a decrease in the rate of protein formation that results in a decreased ability to produce the organic portion of bone matrix.衰老对骨骼系统的第二个主要影响,是蛋白质合成速度降低至使产生骨基质的有机成分的能力下降.【Chapter 5】The cardiac sphincter relaxes and contracts to move food from the esophagus into the stomach, whereas the py-loric sphincter allows food to leave the stomach when it has sufficiently digested.贲门括约肌的舒张与收缩使食物由食管入胃,而幽门括约肌却使食物在充分消化後出胃. These substances help transform food present in the stomach into a semifluid substance called chime. The pyloric sphincter allows food to pass into the small intestine only after it has been transformed into chime.这些物质(盐酸)协助将胃内现存的食物转变成为称为食糜的半流质物质.幽门括约肌只有在食物完全变为食糜後才将其排入小肠.【Chapter 6】Air enters the body through the nose and passes through the nasal cavity, which is lined with a mucous membrane and fine hairs(cilia) to help filter out foreign bodies, as well as to warm and moisten the air.空气通过鼻进入人体内.在通过鼻腔时,其内排列的黏膜和纤毛过滤了异物,同时使进入的空气温暖而湿润Paranasal sinuses are hollow, air-containing spaces within the skull that communi-cate with the nasal cavity.副鼻窦位於头颅骨内,中空含气,并与鼻腔相通.They, too, have a mucous membrane lining and function to provide the lubricating fluid mucus, as well as to lighten the bones of the skull and help produce sound.副鼻窦也有黏膜衬里,其功能是提供润滑黏液,减轻头颅骨负荷,以及协同发声.It is in the hypopharyngeal region that the pharynx, serving as a common passageway for food from the mouth and air from the nose, divides into two branches, the larynx(voice box) and the esopha-gus.下咽部是来自於嘴的食物和来自鼻的空气之共同通道,他在这里又分为两支,喉(声音盒)和食管.A special deterrent to this event is provided for by a flap of cartilage attached the root of the tongue that acts like a lid over the larynx.这一起着特殊阻滞作用的物体是一层连着舌根的软骨结构,它像块盖子盖过喉.The measure of how easily the lungs expand under pressure is compliance.肺器之所以能在压力下轻松自如地展开,其方法就是因势利导,顺其自然.Breathing is regulated unconsciously by center in the brainstem. These centers adjust the rate and rhythm of breathing according o changes in the composition of the blood, especially the concen-tration of carbon dioxide.脑干里呼吸中心在不知不觉中控制和调节了呼吸.这些中心根据血液里的成分,特别是二氧化碳的浓度来调节呼吸的速率和节奏.If too much carbon dioxide is exhaled by hyper-ventilation, body fluids tend to become more alkaline, a condition termed alkalosis. If too little car-bon dioxide is exhaled as a result of hypoventilation, body fluids tend to become more acid, a condi-tion termed acidosis.如果因为换气过度而二氧化碳呼出过多,身体体液就容易变的偏硷性,一种被称为硷中毒的状态.然而,如果由於换气不足,二氧化碳呼出过少,身体体液就容易变的偏酸性,一种被称为酸中毒的状态.Lining the trachea and bronchial tree are cells that secrete mucus, which traps pollutants and bacteria. Also in the bronchi are cells containing tiny cilia, that project into the blanket of mucus and with constant wavelike motions push the mucus up out of the airways.第一,气管和支气管树铺满能分泌黏液的细胞,它们能捕捉污染物质和细菌.第二,支气管里还有长有细小纤毛的细胞,它们深入遍布的黏液层,不停地通过波浪般的动作把黏液向上清扫出呼吸道.【Chapter 7】There are three major types of blood vessels, . , veins, and capillaries.血管分为三大类,即动脉、静脉、毛细血管The largest artery, the aorta, is about 1 inch in diameter and has the thickest wall.主动脉是最大的动脉,管腔直径约为1英寸,血管壁最厚The capillary boundaries are the most important center of activity of the entire circulatory system.毛细血管网是整各循环系统的最重要活动中心Most veins are equipped with one-way valves that permit the blood to flow in only one direction.They are most numerous in the veins of the extremities.大多数静脉具有单向瓣膜,使血液朝着一个方向流动.在四肢的静脉中,这样的瓣膜最多The pulmonary arteries carry blood low in oxygen from the right ventricle, while the pulmonary veins carry blood high in oxygen from the lungs into the left atrium.肺动脉携带右心室出来的、含氧量低的血液;而肺静脉将含氧量高的血液从肺携带到左心房Blood returning from tissues other than the lungs enters the heart by way of the venae cavae: the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava.从组织(肺组织除外)而来的血液经腔静脉,即上腔静脉与下腔静脉,回到心脏When the atria contract, blood in the right atrium is forced through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle.当心房收缩时,右心房的血液则通过三尖瓣进入右心室Atrial contractions force blood from the left atrium through the mitral valve, also called bicuspid valve, into the left ventricle.心房收缩将血液从左心房挤压通过二尖瓣,进入左心室When the ventricles contract, blood in the left ventricle is forced through the aortic semilunar valve into the aorta, the body’s largest artery, for distribution to the tissues.当心室收缩时,左心室的血液被挤压通过主动脉瓣,进入主动脉(机体内的最大动脉),然後分配到机体的各个组织【Chapter 8】Oxygen from the lungs and nutrients from the digestive tract are absorbed into blood for transport to the tissues.血液吸收肺部来的氧和消化道来的营养物质,并输送到组织At the same time, carbon dioxide and other waste products of cellular metabolism are absorbed from the tissues for transport to the organs of elimination.同时,组织的细胞代谢产生的二氧化碳和其他废物,送到排泄器官The blood also transports hormones from endocrine glands to their target organs.血液还将内分泌腺产生的激素输送到它们的靶器官。

第一单元疾病的介绍1 人体是一个艺术的杰作。
我们对身体的功能了解越深,就越赏识它。
即使在生病时,身体在故障修复和补偿方面表现也相当出色。
身体内不断发生变化,然而,一个称之为内环境稳态的平稳状态能大抵保持平衡。
机体内环境稳态如果出现某种严重紊乱,就能诱发各种各样的反应,显现疾病的体征和症状。
比如,由于运动员对氧气的需求增加,他们体内的红细胞计数就会异常升高。
这是一个使更多血红蛋白循环的自然补偿机制,但它却是红细胞增多症的一个症状,这在下文中会有涉及。
2 当一个器官需要做更多工作时,它往往会增大,肥大。
心脏会因为血压高地一直不降而增大,因为它必须不间断地克服巨大的阻力把血液输送到全身。
当瓣膜存在缺陷时,心肌同样也会肥大,因为那些要么太宽,要么太窄的瓣膜需要额外的抽吸作用。
如果一个肾衰竭了,另一个肾就会增大以满足身体的需要,并弥补那个有缺陷的肾。
当流向这两个肾的血液不足时,它们会通过分泌荷尔蒙(激素)使血压升高。
然而,如果某个器官或身体的某个部位没有得到使用,它就会萎缩,或者,也就是说,体积变小或功能下降。
3 血液在维持内环境稳态上发挥着一些作用。
当组织受到创伤,损伤,或者感染时,血流就会积聚在受损区域。
这一点极其重要,因为血液携带的细胞可专门清除有害物质和细胞碎片。
血液中的其他细胞则产生抗体,以抵抗致病微生物的入侵。
4 疾病是某个身体部位,生理系统,或整个机体的不健康状态,其中结构或功能会发生紊乱。
疾病经常始于细胞水平。
一个异常的基因不管是因遗传所得,还是因环境因素引起突变或变异,都能启动疾病程序。
比如,当基因信息遭到侵袭(常被病毒侵袭)时,癌症的发生会伴随着细胞的疯长。
新的研究技术正使得某些疾病与异常基因的研究结果联系起来成为可能。
疾病可以是一种结构性的异常,比如,先天性心脏缺陷,也可以是没有器质性改变的功能性病变。
疾病可能是一种结构性的异常,比如,先天性心脏缺陷,也可能是没有器质性变化的功能性病变,比如,高血压或精神创伤。

医学英语课文翻译Unit One器官系统众所周知,细胞是人体的基本单位,大量的细胞构成某种类型的组织,各类组织再共同形成不同的器官。
特定种类的器官进一步组合形成系统,即器官系统。
一般而言,人体拥有十大器官系统,它们分别是循环系统、呼吸系统、消化系统、泌尿系统、神经系统、内分泌系统、生殖系统、免疫系统、骨骼系统和肌肉系统。
有些器官系统对我们而言非常熟悉,并能感觉到它们的活动,例如呼吸系统。
无论白天还是夜间,我们都在呼吸。
另一方面,有些器官系统对我们来说相对陌生,例如内分泌系统,我们无法感知内分泌腺在机体内的活动。
人体构架人类为什么会长成现在模样?我们为何能够直立而不是像动物那样爬行?是什么让人类得以转动头颅,手脚和身体的其他部位?答案就是骨架,即人体的构架。
骨架是指我们身体中所有骨头的集合。
有了骨架,我们的血液和组织才能够形成现在的形状,有了它,我们全身的肌肉编排才会有序,才能协调我们身体的运动。
此外,人体构架将重要脏器包覆起来以保护其免受外界伤害。
骨架由骨、软骨、腱和韧带等几个重要元素组成的,骨是骨架的重要组成部分。
新生儿一般拥有350多块骨头,但当他长大后,部分骨骼相互连接二最终减少为206块。
我们身体大部分的运动都是由胳臂和腿来完成的,因此胳膊和腿上的骨也最多,而且其中多数为长骨。
股骨位于大腿内部,是人体内最长的骨头。
脊柱由26块骨组成,担负着支撑躯干结构并容纳重要神经的责任。
胸腔由胸骨和肋骨包裹而成,容纳了心脏、肺等重要生命器官。
最后,我们的头部也有20多块骨,其中头盖骨遮盖着大脑,其他骨头则构成脸部。
Unit Two保持健康的决定因素每个人都希望自己一辈子保持健康。
然而,没有人能实现这个目标,我们每个人都可能由于各种原因染上这种或那种疾病。
有时候我们自己都不知道是怎么得病的。
世界卫生组织指出,个人健康状况是由多种因素决定的,其中包括个人特质或生物学特质、个人的行为或生活方式、自然环境以及社会、经济环境。

Unit1肺和肾的功能肺的血管系统肺从两个血管系统----支气管循环系统和肺循环系统获得血液供应。
它的营养血液来自于支气管循环系统,流向肺部除肺泡外的所有组织,因为支气管循环系统始于主动脉及上肋间动脉,接受大约1%的心输出量。
大约三分之一的支气管循环的静脉输出流入全身静脉,然后回到右心房。
剩余的输出流入肺静脉,并在心脏最小静脉的作用下,在正常情况下,以1%-2%的量自右向左分流。
肺动脉系统沿着气道从肺门向外周延伸,向下连接下段气道(直径大约2毫米)的动脉,它们壁薄且富有弹性。
从这儿开始,动脉成肌肉化发展,直至其达到30微米,此时肌层消失。
因为这些小肌肉动脉起着积极控制肺部血流分布的作用,所以大部分动脉压降产生在这些小肌肉动脉中。
肺小动脉将血液排空,送入广泛分布的毛细血管网,进入肺静脉。
肺静脉的壁很薄,它们最终在肺门处与动脉和支气管汇合,出肺进入左心房。
肾结构成分人类肾脏在解剖学上位于腹膜后隙,与下胸椎和上腰椎平行。
每个成年人的肾脏大约重150克,长、宽、厚分别为12厘米、6厘米以及3厘米。
肾脏的冠状部分分为/由两个明确的区域(组成)。
外周部的皮质大约1厘米厚,深部的髓质由几个肾锥体构成。
这些锥体状结构的底部位于皮髓质结合处。
锥体的顶部伸入肾门,称为肾**。
每个肾**被一个肾小盏包裹。
肾小盏与肾大盏相聚组成肾盂。
经肾**流出的尿液汇集在肾盂,通过输尿管排入膀胱。
由主动脉分支出来的肾总动脉为两肾输送血液。
肾总动脉通常分为两个主侧支,这两个侧支又进一步分为叶动脉,为肾脏上、中、下区域供应血液。
当这些血管进入肾实质,变成叶间动脉通向肾皮质时,(这些血管)又进一步细分。
细分后的更小血管在皮髓质结合处成为竖支--弓状动脉。
从弓状动脉伸出的叶间动脉进入皮质。
由于传入小动脉始于这些末端叶间动脉,所以为肾小球毛细血管输送血液。
组织学上,肾脏是由一个叫做“肾单位”的基本单位组成。
每个肾脏约含有一百万个肾单位,“肾单位”有两个主要成分:过滤成分―紧包着毛细血管网(肾小球)和一个附着在上面的小管组成。

第一单元 A History of TCMText A A History of TCMThe history of traditional Chinese medicine can be traced through archaeological excavations extending back millions of years.Primitive people spent most of their time on basic survival: hunting, locating and preparing plants for food, building shelters, and defending themselves. It's easy to imagine that over time, they'd have sampled most of the local plants in their search for food. In time, an oral record evolved that identified those plants that made good food, those that were useful for building, those that had an effect on illness, and those that were poisonous. Through trial and error, a primitive form of herbal medicine and dietary therapy was taking shape in China.Fire also played a central role in their lives as a source of warmth, fuel, and light. As they huddled around fires, it was only natural that our ancestors would discover the healing powers of heat. Those powers would have been especially evident for cold, damp ailments such as arthritis, for which heat provides immediate relief. This was the origin of the art of moxibustion, the therapeutic application of heat to treat a wide variety of conditions.These ancient people must have experienced a variety of injuries during their rugged lives. A natural reaction to pain is to rub or press on the affected area. This hands-on therapy gradually evolved into a system of therapeutic manipulation. People discovered that pressing on certain points on the body had wide-ranging effects. They began to use pieces of sharpened bone or stone to enhance the sensation, and acupuncture was born.Written History of Traditional Chinese MedicineThe written history of traditional Chinese medicine has evolved mostly over the last 3,000 years. Archaeological digs from the Shang Dynasty (1,000 b.c.) have revealed medical writings inscribed on divination bones: early shamans, mostly women, used scapula bones to perform divination rites; later these bones were also used for writing.The discovery in 1973 of 11 medical texts written on silk has shed some light on the sophisticated practices of that early period of Chinese history. Dated to 168 B.C., the texts discuss diet, exercise, moxibustion, and herbal therapy.Liberally mixed with shamanistic magic, an extensive text,Prescriptions for Fifty-two Ailments, describes the pharmacological effects of herbs and foods.Also dating from about this time is the legend of Shen Nong, the Emperor of Agriculture, who tasted 100 herbs daily to assess their qualities. (He is said to have been poisoned many times in the course of his investigations.)By A.D. 400, the basic foundations of traditional Chinese medicine had been put into written form. By this time, most of the magical aspects of medicine had been left behind; there was an increasing belief in the powers of nature to heal disease.The most important book compiledbetween 300 B.C. and A.D. 400 is Huang Di Nei Jing (Huangdi’s Canon of Medicine).The work is divided into two books: Simple Questions and Spiritual Axis.The first book deals with general theoretical principles, while the second more specifically describes the principles of acupuncture and the treatment of disease. Remarkably, this ancient work is still valid; it forms the foundation for the contemporary practice of traditional Chinese medicine. For example, the Nei Jing states that cold diseases should be treated with hot herbs, and hot diseases should be treated with cold herbs. This principle is still followed today in clinical practice.Hot, inflammatory infections are treated with cold herbs such as honeysuckle flowers or Coptis root; cold, debilitating conditions suchas chronic fatigue are treated with warm, stimulating herbs such as ginseng or Astragalus roots.Modern research has confirmed that these plants contain constituents with strong pharmacological effects on these specific conditions. By the second century A.D., physicians all over China were compiling writings of the latest discoveries in acupuncture and herbal medicine. It was during this time that the famous physician Hua Tuo wrote about herbal anesthesia.Although his formula for the anesthetic has been lost, his unique system of acupuncture points is still in use. He was also a pioneer in recommending exercise as a method of maintaining wellness. He is quoted as saying "a running stream never goes bad," meaning exercise moves qi and prevents the stagnation that leads to disease.Another pioneer of the time was Zhang Zhongjing, who wrote Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases after witnessing an epidemic that ravaged his city and killed most of his relatives. This highly regarded physician developed a system of diagnosis so sophisticated that it is used by practitioners in modern hospitals 1,700 years after his death.Progress of Medicine in ChinaThe progress of medicine in China runs parallel to the nation's political history. Between the second and fifth centuries A.D., China experienced a period marked by war and political turmoil.One of the ironies of war is that it has a tendency to lead to advances in medicine. The periodic times of unrest in Chinese history, such as this, were no exception, as the increased need for practical, convenient, effective remedies led to further developments in medical treatment.During this time, Ge Hong wrote Prescriptions for Emergencies in order to spread the knowledge of acupuncture and moxibustion to the masses.Around A.D. 650, Sun Simiao compiled Prescriptions Worth A Thousand Gold, which integrated the clinical experiences of the different schools of acupuncture at that time.During the Tang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.), China's Imperial Medical Bureau established departments of Acupuncture, Pharmacology, and Medical Specialties. Numerous additional treatises and compilations of medical knowledge and experience were prepared.In the Five Dynasties period (907-1368 A.D.), advancements in printing techniques led to a dramatic increase in the publication of medical texts.One of the important books of the period was Canon on the Origin of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, in which Wang Zhizhong incorporated the clinical experiences of the practitioners of folk medicine.During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), many medical specialists compiled the works of their forebears, further expanding the extensive base of medical knowledge.The most famous physician of the period was Li Shi Zheng (1518-1593), a kind and generous healer who did not accept payment for his services. After reviving the son of a prince from a coma, he was appointed court physician and served in the Imperial Academy of Medicine.His most incredible achievement was his 40-year effort in writing the Ben Cao Gong Mu (General Catalog of Herbs), a monumental work published after his death. Consisting of 52 volumes at the time of its printing, the Ben Cao Gong Mu remains an important reference for traditional Chinese herbalists.The recent history of traditional Chinese medicine saw the integration of new techniques with ancient understanding. This integration process continued until the 19th century, when the Opium War of 1840 turned China into a semi-colonial society. Western colonial powers derided traditional medicine as primitive and outdated.The Communist party came to power in themid-20th century, bringing much turmoil to China; however, the Communists saw the need to promote traditional Chinese medicine to avoid dependence on the West.A great need for traditional doctors arose since there were far too few Western-trained physicians to serve the huge population: only 10,000 Western-trained doctors were available to serve 400 millionpeople.Traditional Chinese medicine began a course of revival that continues today. Many Western-trained physicians and scientists in China started to conduct research on acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal medicine, and a gradual integration of the two systems began.In 1945, an acupuncture clinic opened in a Western hospital in China for the first time. Since then, traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have been practiced side-by-side in Chinese hospitals, sometimes by a physician who has been trained in both fields.For example,a cancer patient might receive radiation to treat a tumor then be sent to the herbal department for formulas to strengthen his immune system and normalize his blood count.Since the 1970s, Chinese hospitals have trained students from more than 100 countries in the principles of traditional medicine.Interest in traditional Chinese medicine was sparked in the United States in the early 1970s when New York Times reporter James Reston experienced an acute appendicitis attack while in China.His report of receiving acupuncture to relieve hispost-operative abdominal pain brought an awareness of this system of healing to the general public.Since then, acupuncture and herbal medicine have gradually taken hold in North America. With more than 10,000 practitioners and an increasing number of schools of traditional Chinese medicine, this ancient system has taken its well-deserved place in the Western world.Text A A History of TCM通过考古发掘,中医药的历史可以追溯到数百万年前。

When a disc herniation occurs, the cushion that sits between the spinal vertebra is pushedoutside its normal position.椎间盘突出发生时,脊柱间的缓冲带将发生侧突。
A hrniated disc would not be a problem if it werent for the spinal nerves that are very close tothe edge of these spinal discs.如果脊神经不是离椎间盘特别近的话,椎间盘突出就不是什么大问题了。
HOW ARE THE SPINE AND ITS DISCS *****D脊柱与椎间盘The vertebras are the bony building blocks of the spine.脊椎是建造脊柱的构件。
Between each of the largest parts (bodies) of the vertebrae are the discs.各椎骨之间为椎间盘。
Ligaments are situated around the spine and discs.脊椎和椎间盘周围散布着韧带。
The spine has seven vertebrae in the neck (cervical vertebrae), 12 vertebrae in the mid-back(thoracic vertebrae) , and five vertebrae in the low back (lumbar vertebrae).颈部有7条椎骨,胸部为12条,腰部有5条。

1. 生理学是研究生物体正常功能的一门科学。
它研究生物体如何进行各种活动,如何饮食,如何运动,如何适应不断改变的环境,如何繁殖后代。
这门学科包罗万象,涵盖了生物体整个生命过程。
生理学成功地解释了生物体如何进行日常活动,基于的观点是生物体好比是结构复杂而灵巧的机器,其操作受物理和化学规律控制。
尽管从生物学整个范畴看,生物体某些活动过程是相似的,如基因编码的复制,但许多过程还是某些生物体群组特有的。
鉴于此,将这门学科分成不同部分研究如细菌生理学,植物生理学和动物生理学是有必要的。
Physiology is the study of thefunctions of living matter. It is concerned with how an organism performs its varied activities: how it feeds, how it moves, how it adapts to changing circumstances, how it spawns new generations . The subject is vast and embraces the whole of life. The success of physiology in explaining how organisms perform their daily tasks is based on the notion that they are intricate and exquisite mac hines whose operation is governed by the laws of physics and chemistry. Although some processes are similar across the whole spectrum of biology—the replication of the genetic code for example —many are specific to particular groups of organisms. For this reason it is necessary to divide the subject into various parts such as bacterial physiology, plant physiology, and animal physiology. 2. 正如要了解一个动物如何活动,首先需要了解它的构成,要充分了解一个生物体的生理学活动就必须掌握全面的解剖学知识。
临床医学英语的课文参考译文整理版

第一单元A 篇预防保健与整体医疗预防保健预防保健指的是某种生活方式和医疗保健(例如疾病筛查)的实施,其目的在于延长健康的状态和避免某一特定常见病的发生(如心脏病,癌症,和由于谷蛋白和其他饮食敏感引起的免疫系统疾病)。
我认为更多的精力和卫生保健资金应该用于预防疾病,这样一来治疗疾病所需资金会相应减少(由于疾病减少)。
这种方法同样适用于筛查某一特定疾病。
这就是我用谷蛋白敏感性作一例子的理由。
现在我们拥有技术在儿童的生长过缓之前,在不可逆的骨质疏松症发生之前,在其它自身免疫疾病产生之前,在淋巴瘤和其他癌症发生之前,应用科学技术在早期来测试其对谷蛋白的免疫反应。
我认为对可测出的谷蛋白敏感和(或)肠功能异常不应该置之不理,我坚持对小肠的伤害情况应该饮食调节之前进行活组织检查。
多年来病理学家已知道组织损害常伴有功能损伤。
恰恰是功能损伤而不是组织损害应当引起重视。
谷蛋白敏感进行饮食调节只是在人生中为了达到最佳健康而实施的保健措施的一个方面。
其它更为重要的方面包括其它保健干预措施,比如避免吸烟、防止过量饮酒、不使用毒品,锻炼身体,健康营养摄入,以及良好口腔卫生。
详情,请见下文“健康和营养十步曲”。
整体医疗整体医疗观或整体医疗,虽然有时易混同于一种可供选择的医疗实践,但实际指的是人的全面整体健康的保持(包括生理,情感,心理和精神),而不仅仅指健康或身体系统的某个方面。
例如,作为胃肠道疾病专家,人们通常只咨询胃肠类疾病的相关问题。
仅关注肠道疾病的症状并进行药物治疗是典型的传统医疗法。
但是,我更支持整体医疗方法。
众所周知,情感因素、饮食因素、压力和体育活动(如过度运动)都会极大影响肠功能。
为了取得胃肠疾病治疗或任何其它身体系统疾病治疗的最长期效的成功,以上所有这些方面都应重视。
因此,对有症状或无症状的个人最好的医疗服务就是提供一种针对整个人(因而被称为“整体”)的评估和治疗的方法来保持其健康,而决非仅针对某一特定部位。
医学英语课文翻译

Unit OneText A: Hippocratic Oath, The Medical Ideal或许在医学史上最持久的,被引用最多次的誓言就是”希波克拉底誓言”.这个以古希腊著名医师希波克拉底命名的誓言,被作为医师道德伦理的指导纲领.虽然随着时代的变迁,准确的文字已不可考,但誓言的主旨却始终如一——尊敬那些将毕生知识奉献于医学科学的人,尊重病人,尊重医师尽己所能治愈病人的承诺。
作为被大家公认的”医学之父”,我们对希波克拉底知之甚少.他生活于约公元前460-380年,作为一名职业医师,与苏格拉底是同代人.在他的时代,他被推举为当时最著名的医师和医学教育者.收录了超过60篇论文的专著——希波克拉底文集,被归于他的名下;但是其中有些论文的内容主旨相冲突,并成文于公元前510-300年,所以不可能都是出自他之手.这个宣言是以希波克拉底命名的,虽然它的作者依然存在疑问。
根据医学历史权威的看法,这个宣言的内容是在公元前四世纪起草的,这使希波克拉底自己起草这个宣言成为可能。
无论如何,不管是否是希波克拉底自己起草的(希波克拉底宣言),这个宣言的内容都反映了他在医学伦理上的看法。
作为代表当时希腊观点的唯一一小部分,希波克拉底誓言首次被写时并没有受到很好的欢迎。
然而,在那远古时代结束时,医生们开始遵循誓言的条款。
当科学医学在罗马帝国衰亡后遭受一显而易见的衰退时,这个誓言,连同希波克拉底医学的指示命令,在西方都几乎被遗忘是有可能的。
正是通过东方坚持不懈的探索精神,使得希波克拉底医学信念和希波克拉底宣言得以在这一恶化的时期幸存下来,尤其是通过阿拉伯当局在医学上的著作。
希腊医学知识而后在西方基督教复活是通过了阿拉伯文论著和原始希腊文的拉丁文翻译。
到17世纪后期,专业行为标准已经在西方世界建立。
被专业组织通过的第一部医学伦理学的法典是由英国内科医生托马斯·珀西瓦尔(1740 - 1804)1794年编写的, 并在1846年被改编和通过了美国医学协会(AMA)。
医学英语译文

Reading A Unit 1译文复杂的人体——奥秘的不竭之源1 1814年托马斯.杰佛逊写到:在我看来,对人来说,没有什么知识会比了解自身的构架、它的部件以及各部件的功能和作用更能使他满足的了。
杰出的思想家们在杰佛逊之前或之后都持这一观点。
但奇怪的是,这一看法并未被普通人真心接受。
人们对于自己的身体——这一唯一珍贵的财产——的态度相当矛盾。
人们对人体既着迷又担忧,部分是因为应和了古代的禁忌,部分则是因为深信人体过于复杂而不可理解。
2 研究人体的途径可谓五花八门:玩世不恭者视其为泥土构作的陋室;诗人赞之曰灵魂的宫殿;医生视它为百孔千疮的躯壳。
精神病学家视之为理智和个性的居所;遗传学家视之为自我繁衍的机器;生物学家看见的则是一个能以往昔之经历改造将来的生物体。
3 所有这些专业的科学的人体观点都言之有据。
然而,所有的观点必须以同样的前提为出发点:即认识人体的基本构造及功能——它的解剖学及生理学原理。
对人体理解的基本观点是:所有的生物体皆由结构相似,功能相同的细胞所组成。
4 一群微小的专家细胞研究——即,它是什么,在干什么,如何再生——表明它自身奇妙复杂。
细胞的一大精妙之处在于其体积之微与活动能力之强之间的反差。
每一细胞细微到在人体组织的半立方英寸之内竟有细胞数百万之多。
然而,每一个(细胞)构成了一个秩序井然、分工明确、忙碌得几乎难以想象的化学实验室。
5 细胞有两个主要部分,细胞核,包含遗传物质(DNA),和包裹着细胞质的细胞膜,它将细胞内含物容于细胞之内,将不需之物排斥于外,而又允许适当的营养物和废物通过。
细胞核——细胞指挥中心——掌控着细胞质的主要活动。
然而,最微妙的时刻是细胞繁殖,其时包含DNA的染色体裂变。
正是在细胞质中细胞的日常工作不断进行。
每一不同的部件或细胞器,都是具有超凡技能的专家。
一种粉碎通过细胞膜送入的食物,变成能量;另一提供蛋白质合成的场所,一直持续再生的全过程。
这是大多数细胞的主要功能。

一个生物体的各部分起着什么作用可通过实验观察得知。
尽管我们对志愿者进行了许多重要的生理调查,但是实验条件需要精确控制,所以我们当前大多生理知识还是源于对其它动物如青蛙,兔子,猫和狗等的研究。
当我们明确大多数动物物种的特定生理过程存在共同之处时,相同的生理原理适用于人类也是合理的。
通过这种方法,我们获得了大量的知识,从而让我们对人类生理学有了更深入的了解,为我们有效治疗许多疾病提供了一个坚实的基础。
To study how an animal works it isfirst necessary to know how it is built. A full appreciation of the physiology of an organism must t herefore be based on a sound knowledge of its anatomy. Experiments can then be carried out to est ablish how particular parts perform their functions.Although there have been many important physiological investigations on human volunteers, the n eed for precise control over the experimental conditions has meant that much of our present physi ological knowledge has been derived from studies on other animals such as frogs, rabbits, cats, an d dogs.When it is clear that a specific physiological process has a common basis in a wide variety of anim al species, it is reasonable to assume that the same principles will apply to humans. The knowledg e gained from this approach has given us a great insight into human physiology and endowed us w ith a solid foundation for the effective treatment of many diseases.The organization of the body3.机体的基本组成物质是细胞,细胞结合在一起形成组织。
组织的基本类型有上皮组织,结缔组织,神经组织,肌组织,每类组织都有各自的特征。
许多结缔组织中细胞量相对较少,但是有大量的细胞外基质。
相比而言,光滑的肌组织由大量密密麻麻的肌细胞通过特定的细胞连接组成。
各种器官如脑,心脏,肺,小肠和肝等由不同种类的组织聚集而成。
这些器官是不同生理系统的组成部分。
心脏和血管组成心血管系统;肺,器官,支气管,胸壁和膈肌组成呼吸系统;骨骼和骨骼肌组成骨骼肌系统;大脑,脊髓,自主神经和神经中枢以及周围躯体神经组成神经系统等等。
3. The building blocks of the body are the cells,which are grouped together to form tissues. The principal types of tissue are epithelial, connective, nervous, and muscular, each with its own characteristics. Many connective tissues have relatively few cells but have an extensive extracellular matrix. In contrast, smooth muscle consists of densel y packed layers of muscle cells linked together via specific cell junctions.Organs such as the brain, the heart, the lungs, the intestines, and the liver are formed by the aggreg ation of different kinds of tissues. The organs are themselves parts of distinct physiological system s. The heart and blood vessels form the cardiovascular system; the lungs, trachea, and bronchi toge ther with the chest wall and diaphragm form the respiratory system; the skeleton and skeletal musc les form the musculoskeletal system; the brain, spinal cord, autonomic nerves and ganglia, and per ipheral somatic nerves form the nervous system, and so on. 4. 细胞在形体和功能上差异很大,但是它们有某些共同的特征。
第一,细胞由一层薄膜也称细胞膜包被;第二,细胞能把大分子分解为小分子释放能量供活动所需;第三,在生命过程中某个阶段,细胞体内存在一个以脱氧核糖核酸(DNA)形式出现,包含基因信息的细胞核。
4.Cells differ widely in form and function but they all have certain common characteristics. First, th ey are bounded by a limiting membrane, the plasma membrane. Secondly, they have the ability to break down large molecules to smaller ones to liberate energy for their activities. Thirdly, at some point in their life history, they possess a nucleus which contains genetic information in the form of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). 5. 活体细胞不断转化物质。
细胞分解葡萄糖和脂肪,为自身生长和修复所需的蛋白质合成和运动等其它活动提供能量。
这些化学变化统称为新陈代谢。
把大分子分解为小分子的过程称为分解代谢,小分子合成大分子的过程称为合成代谢。
5. Living cells continually transform materials. They break down glucose and fats to provide energy for other activities such a s motility and the synthesis of proteins for growth and repair. These chemical changes are collectiv ely called metabolism. The breakdown of large molecules to smaller ones is called catabolism and the synthesis of large molecules from smaller ones anabolism. 6. 细胞在进化过程中不断分化进行不同的功能活动。
