To establish a supplementary diagnostic indicator (infrared radiant intensity) in tongue diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in patients with hyperplasia of mammary glands through correlation analysis of infrared radiant intensity between hyperplastic breast tissue and tongue surface.
Infrared radiant intensity of the hyperplastic breast tissue and different points on tongue surface in 20 cases of hyperplasia of mammary glands with liver-energy stagnation and phlegm retention syndrome and 16 cases of hyperplasia of mammary glands with irregular thoroughfare and conception vessels syndrome were measured with external infrared spectrometer PHE-201 made by Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics. Correlation of infrared radiant intensity between the hyperplastic breast tissue and the different points on tongue surface was assessed by using bivariate correlation analysis.
The results showed that the numbers of positive correlated wave bands of infrared radiant intensity between the hyperplastic breast tissue and different detected points on tongue surface in the patients with liver-energy stagnation and phlegm retention syndrome and irregular thoroughfare and conception vessels syndrome were 127 (83.55%) and 71 (46.71%), respectively. Infrared radiant intensity between the hyperplastic breast tissue and the tongue surface had a positive correlation.
Infrared radiant intensity can be used as one of supplementary diagnostic indicators in TCM tongue diagnosis of hyperplasia of mammary glands.
通过对乳腺增生患者增生乳腺组织与舌面红外辐射强度的相关性分析，建立中医舌诊在乳腺增生患者中的补充诊断指标（红外辐射强度）。
采用上海技术物理研究所研制的PHE - 201型外置式红外光谱仪，对20例肝郁痰凝型乳腺增生患者及16例冲任失调型乳腺增生患者的增生乳腺组织及舌面不同部位的红外辐射强度进行测量。采用双变量相关分析评估增生乳腺组织与舌面不同部位红外辐射强度的相关性。
结果显示，肝郁痰凝型和冲任失调型乳腺增生患者增生乳腺组织与舌面不同检测部位红外辐射强度的正相关波段数分别为127个（83.55%）和71个（46.71%）。增生乳腺组织与舌面红外辐射强度呈正相关。
红外辐射强度可作为乳腺增生中医舌诊的补充诊断指标之一。
