The Basic Law and Understanding about the Relationship between Structure and Function of HDL
Dong Shao · Medicine & Philosophy(Clinical Decision Making Forum Edition) · 2006
The rule of quantitative change and qualitative change is one of the basic laws in Dialectical Materialism, and it suggests that substance is an unity of some quality with some quantity. The guidable importance of such a law in medicine is reflected by the studies of HDL(high density lipoprotein), which has changed from only studying its serum level to exploring its structure-function relationship. With systemic theory and the principal contradiction grasped, the studies of the physiopathologic mechanism of HDL in atherosclerosis would be more effective.
