The 21th century is the century of exploring and utilizing the underground space. In the future, more and more people will spend more and more time living or/and working in the underground space. However,we know little about the effect on the health of human caused by the underground environment. Herein,we systematically put forward the strategic conception of the deep-underground medicine,in order to reveal relative effects and mechanism of the potential factors in the deep underground space on human's physiological and psychological healthy,and to work out the corresponding countermeasures. The original deep-underground medicine includes the following items. ①To model different depth of underground environment according to various parameters (such as temperature,radiation,air pressure, rock,microorganism), and to explore their quantitative character and effects on human health and mechanism. ② To study the psychological change, maintenance of homeostasis and biothythm of organism in the deep underground space. ③ To learn the association between psychological healthy of human and the depth, structure, physical environment and working time of underground space. ④ To investigate the effect of different terrane and lithology on healthy of human and to deliberate their contribution on organism growth. ⑤ To research the character and their mechanism of growth,metabolism,exchange of energy,response of growth, aging and adaptation of cells living in deep underground space. ⑥ To explore the physiological feature,growth of microbiome and it's interaction with host in the deep underground space. ⑦ To develop deep-underground simulation space, the biologically medical technology and equipments. As a research basis,a deep-underground medical lab under a rock thickness of about 1 470 m has been built,which aims to operate the research of the effect on living organism caused by different depth of underground environment.
21世纪是探索和利用地下空间的世纪。未来,越来越多的人将在地下空间生活或工作的时间越来越长。然而,我们对地下环境对人类健康的影响知之甚少。在此,我们系统地提出了深部地下医学的战略构想,以揭示深部地下空间潜在因素对人类生理和心理健康的相关影响及机制,并制定相应对策。原始的深部地下医学包括以下内容。①根据各种参数(如温度、辐射、气压、岩石、微生物)模拟不同深度的地下环境,探索其定量特征及其对人类健康的影响和机制。②研究深部地下空间中生物体的心理变化、内环境稳态维持和生物节律。③了解人类心理健康与地下空间深度、结构、物理环境和工作时间之间的关联。④研究不同地层和岩性对人类健康的影响,并探讨它们对生物体生长的作用。⑤研究深部地下空间中细胞的生长、代谢、能量交换、生长反应、衰老和适应的特征及其机制。⑥探索深部地下空间中微生物群落的生理特征、生长及其与宿主的相互作用。⑦开发深部地下模拟空间、生物医学技术和设备。作为研究基础,已建成一个岩石厚度约为1470米的深部地下医学实验室,旨在开展不同深度地下环境对生物体影响的研究。
