妇女月经周期腹部任脉的体表红外温度研究

为了观察妇女月经周期腹部任脉体表红外温度的变化规律，应用红外热像仪获得了10名健康女青年在月经期、排卵期和黄体期的腹部任脉红外辐射图像。分析显示，月经周期关元穴的体表红外温度改变与基础体温变化曲线具有显著的同步性。神阙穴的体表红外温度在排卵期下降至最低点，较月经期和黄体期有显著差异(P<0.05)。神阙穴的这种周期性变化是中医理论关于女性胞宫气血周期蓄溢的客观体现，提示神阙穴体表红外温度能够特异地反映女性胞宫气血周期蓄溢的生理变化特征。在黄体期，女性任脉下腹部关元---神阙线体表的红外平均温度显著低于上腹部中脘---神阙线，提示任脉不同部位的体表红外温度存在差异。

Study of Body Surface Infrared Temperature along Women's Abdominal Conception Vessel during Menstruation

To observe the change regularity of infrared temperature of Conception Vessel (CV) in women''s menstrual period, the infrared radiation images of ten young healthy women in their menstrual periods, ovulation periods and luteal phases were obtained by infrared thermography. The analysis results showed that the change of body surface infrared temperature at the Guanyuan acupoint had remarkable synchrony with the curve of basal body temperature in the menstrual period. The surface temperature at the Shenque acupoint decreased to the lowest point in the ovulation period, which had a remarkable difference (P<0.05) compared with that in the menstrural period or luteal period. This periodical change at Shenque acupoint was the objective expression of the traditional Chinese medical theory about the accumulation of qi and blood in female uterus. This suggested that the abdominal conception vessel and its acupoints on abdomen of healthy women showed specific thermal characteristics during the different phase of menstruation,which provided evidence for its application in diagnosis and treatment of gynecological diseases.
