- Abstract: In recent years,with the development of the bio-psycho-social medical model,more and more attention has been paid to the relationship between psycho-emotional factors and liver.According to traditional Chinese medicine theory,the liver is mainly responsible for catharsis and regulating emotion,which is closely related to emotion.Epidemiological studies have shown that all kinds of liver diseases are accompanied by different degrees of mental disorders,and mental and emotional abnormalities may promote the occurrence of liver diseases and affect the prognosis.Liver and emotion have a common pathogenesis in pathology,involving the dysfunction of nervous,endocrine and immune systems.Based on the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine and modern medical research,this review analyzes the correlation between emotions and liver.At the same time,neurotransmitters,inflammatory cytokines,brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF),soluble epoxide hydrolase(sEH),intestinal microecology,hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal(HPA)axis and hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid(HPT)axis,which summarizes the potential mechanisms of liver disease complicated with emotional disorders,and provides certain reference value for future theoretical research and clinical treatment.
