摘要

目的

比较乳腺增生病患者与正常人穴位体表红外辐射温度的差异。

方法

采用ThermaCAMTM P30 红外热像仪, 检测74 名乳腺增生病患者和63 名身体健康, 无乳腺增生病的正常人四条经脉八个穴位的体表红外辐射温度。

结果

乳腺增生病患者右幽门穴的体表红外辐射温度显著高于正常人的右幽门穴的体表红外辐射温度(P=0.009)。 左幽门穴及所测其余各穴的红外辐射温度患者与正常人无明显差异(P>0.05)。

结论

乳腺增生病患者与正常人右幽门穴的红外辐射温度有显著差异, 这种差异可能与乳腺增生病的病机及幽门穴的特异性有关。

Abstract

Objective

To compare the difference of infrared radiation temperature on body surface of points between healthy people and patients with hyperplasia of mammary glands.

Method

The thermaCATMT P30 infrared thermal imaging system was selected to measure the infrared radiation temperature on body surface of eight points in four meridians in 74 patients with hyperplasia of mammary glands and 63 healthy people.

Results

The infrared radiation temperatures on body surface of right Youmen (KI 21) in cases with hyperplasia of mammary glands were significantly higher than the healthy people (P=0.009), and the infrared radiation temperatures on left Youmen (KI 21) and other points had no significant difference with healthy people (P>0.05).

Conclusion

The infrared radiation temperatures on body surface of right Youmen (KI 21) have significant differences with healthy people. This might occur because of the pathogenesis of hyperplasia of mammary glands and of the specificity of the point Youmen (KI 21).
