摘要

This article sorted out research results of traditional Chinese herbal medicine at home and abroad, cleared up confirmed traditional Chinese herbal medicine with estrogen activity, analyzed the function classifications, and reviewed relevant clinical research progress. It also discussed the concept and connoation of traditional Chinese herbal medicine with estrogen activity, and proposed that the research on traditional Chinese herbal medicine with estrogen activity should clarify whether “bidirectional effect” establishes and the preconditions and requirements of the establishment, with a purpose to solve the security problems about hormone dependency caused by TCM therapy. Meanwhile, the problems about quick-screening experiments, standard establishment, and the transformation of experimental achievements to clinical application are waiting to be solved.%本文对具雌激素活性植物中药的国内外研究成果进行了梳理，整理了已确定有雌激素活性的植物中药，分析了其功效分类，概述了相关临床研究进展。文中对雌激素活性植物中药的概念和内涵进行了探讨，提出雌激素活性植物中药的研究必须明确“双向作用”是否成立以及成立的前提或条件，以解决中药治疗激素依赖性乳腺癌安全性问题；同时亟待解决快速筛查实验和标准的建立以及实验成果向临床应用转换等关键问题。
