摘要
目的:红外热像是潜在的适用于中医保健领域的成像技术。本研究通过开展随机双盲试验探讨其应用方法与可行性。方法:受试者为体质偏弱的男性在校大学生,试验组服用具有免疫调节功能的中药保健品生生胶囊,对照组服用安慰剂。试验周期为108天。以人体红外热像的4个特征(上部特征,中部特征,下部A特征,下部B特征)为观察指标。结果:试验结果表明红外热像可客观地反映生生胶囊对人体的影响。在试验第6天就观察到上部特征的组间统计学差异。生生胶囊对体质虚弱人群以及处于体质虚弱阶段人群的作用也都能通过红外热像反映。试验组与对照组的相对有效率存在显著性差异(P=0.003),试验组的相对有效率达到81.3%,而对照组仅为30.0%。结论:红外热像的敏感性与客观性使其在中医保健领域具有重要的应用价值。
Objectives：Infrared thermal imaging （ITI） has potential for application in the health care field of Chinese Medicine. This double-blind randomized study explored its application and feasibility in this field. Methods ：The subjects were male university students with weak constitution. Shengsheng capsule, a kind of TCM health food with immunity adjustment function, was taken by the trial group while placebo by the control group for 108 days. Four ITI features （ the superior part feature, central part feature, inferior part A feature and inferior part B feature） were observed. Results： The results showed that the effect of Shengsheng capsule on the human body could be reflected objectively by ITI. On d 6, significant difference between the two groups had been observed in the superior part feature. The effect of Shengsheng capsule on people with weak constitution or in the period of being weak could also be reflected. The relative efficacy rate was 81.3% for the trial group and 30.0% for the control group, there was significant difference between the two groups （P = 0. 003）. Conelusions：ITI＇s feature of sensitivity and objectivity made its application very significant and applicable in the health care field of Chinese medicine.
