摘要
本研究用红外热图测定健康人正常舌质及患者阴虚舌质表面温度,分别测定舌质表面不同部位的温度变化。结果显示阴虚组舌尖、舌边、舌中的即刻温度均明显大于正常组:阴虚组舌尖、舌边的延时温度也大于正常组,且阴虚程度越明显者,所测得的舌温也越高。借助舌质温度的测定有利于提高中医辨证的明确度,也有利于正确评价中药治疗阴虚患者的实际疗效。
The normal tongue originated from medical workers in our hospital and the Yin dificiency tongue originated from patiehts who possessed typical phenomena of Yin deficiency including smothery fever,dry mouth,and so on.Determination of different area's temperature on tongue surface showedthat the immediate temperature on areas of the tip,edge and medium of tongues and the delay temperature on areas of the tip,edge of tongues in patients with Yin deficiency was higher than that in healthy persons and possessed statistical significance.The redder the tongue color in patients with Yin deficiency,the higher the tongue temperature Obtained.This suggested that the degree of Yin.deficiency relates to the tongue temperature. Lingual diagnosis is an essential component of treatment according to differential diaguosis in TCM.The authors consider that the determination of the tongue temperature by using thermal video will be helpful to raise the accuracy of TCM diagnosis and to appraise the real effect of Chinese herbs on patients with Yin deficiency.
