急性期特发性面神经麻痹患者阳明经经穴红外热像图研究

摘要

Objective To observe changes in the infrared thermogram of Yangming meridian acupoints in patients with idiopathic facial paralysis in acute stage. Method High-performance uncooled infrared focal plane array (M7800 Thermal Imager, LumaSense, USA) was used to detect the infrared thermogram of Yangming meridian acupoints[Kouheliao (LI19), Yingxiang (LI20), Hegu (LI4), Shangyang (LI1), Chengqi (ST1), Sibai (ST2), Juliao (ST3), Dicang (ST4), Daying (ST5), Jiache (ST6), Xiaguan (ST7), Tianshu (ST25), and Zusanli (ST36) ]of 80 patients with idiopathic facial paralysis in acute stage and 75 healthy subjects. The temperature data of the meridian acupoints obtained from the analysis software were statistically processed. Result Compared with the healthy subjects, the temperature differencesΔT of the Hand Yangming Meridian acupoints including Kouheliao, Yingxiang and Hegu, and Foot Yangming Meridian acupoints including Chengqi, Sibai, Juliao, Dicang, Daying, Jiache and Xiaguan were more significant in the patients with idiopathic facial paralysis in acute stage, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05); the temperature differences ΔT of the Hand Yangming Meridian acupoint Shangyang, and the Foot Yangming Meridian acupoints including Tianshu and Zusanli in the facial paralysis patients showed insignificant differences compared with those in the healthy subjects (P>0.05). Conclusion There are changes in the infrared thermogram at Yangming meridian acupoints located on face (Kouheliao, Yingxiang, Shangyang, Chengqi, Sibai, Juliao, Dicang, Daying, Jiache and Xiaguan) and the distant acupoint Hegu in idiopathic facial paralysis patients in acute stage, while Shangyang, Tianshu and Zusanli do not present the above phenomenon, indicating the specificity of acupoint effect from the perspective of infrared.%目的 观察急性期特发性面神经麻痹患者阳明经经穴红外热像图改变.方法 采用高性能非致冷焦平面红外热像仪M7800 Thermal Imager(LumaSense美国)检测80例急性期特发性面神经麻痹患者与75例正常人部分阳明经穴(口禾髎、迎香、合谷、商阳、承泣、四白、巨髎、地仓、大迎、颊车、下关、天枢、足三里)红外热像图,并用分析软件得到相关经穴温度值,将结果进行统计学分析.结果 急性期特发性面神经麻痹患者手阳明经经穴口禾髎、迎香、合谷,足阳明经经穴承泣、四白、巨髎、地仓、大迎、颊车、下关温差值ΔT较正常人高,两者比较差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05);而手阳明经经穴商阳,足阳明经经穴天枢、足三里温差值ΔT与正常人比较差异没有统计学意义(P>0.05).结论 急性期特发性面神经炎患者阳明经面部经穴(口禾髎、迎香、承泣、四白、巨髎、地仓、大迎、颊车、下关)、远端经穴(合谷)红外热像图存在改变,而商阳、天枢、足三里却不存在上述现象,从红外角度提示了经穴效应存在特异性.
