| 摘要: | 本研究在探討經絡能量分析儀所檢測的穴位導電度與總膽固醇（Total Cholesterol；TC）及三酸甘油脂（Triglyceride；TG）生化檢驗數據結果的相關性。研究對象為參加成人預防保健服務之40歲以上成人，排除有放置心律調節器及懷孕婦女，並完成健檢程序，且具有相同檢查項目之對象，共計882人。實驗中以經絡能量分析儀檢測受試者十二經絡穴位導電度的變化，以卡方檢定瞭解TC、TG濃度與性別、年齡之關係，以t檢定分析TC、TG濃度與穴位導電度偏離值之關係。 研究結果顯示：一、上肢的經絡穴位（肺經、心包經、心經、小腸經、三焦經、大腸經），穴位導電度檢測值偏高，顯示電阻較小，而下肢的經絡穴位（脾經、肝經、腎經、膀胱經、膽經、胃經），穴位導電度檢測值偏低，顯示電阻較大。在左、右側穴位導電度偏離值之平均值分佈，呈現左高右低現象；二、依據性別分析，女性TC、TG異常發生率較高（TC異常女性63.32%、男性36.68%; TG異常女性51.93%、男性48.07%），依據年齡分層分析，年齡≧65歲者，TC、TG異常發生率較高（TC異常年齡≧65歲者57.24%、年齡<65歲者42.76%; TG異常年齡≧65歲者55.25%、年齡<65歲者44.75%）；三、依據穴位導電度偏離值分析，發現大腸經（左）>15.78 μA、小腸經（右）>2.35 μA、大腸經（右）>10.01 μA、腎經（左）<-11.68 μA、胃經（左）<-5.33 μA判定可能為TC異常的指標，而大腸經（左）>15.59 μA、肺經（右）<9.38 μA、心包經（右）<7.15 μA判定可能為TG異常的指標。 本研究顯示TC、TG之異常與大腸經、小腸經、腎經、胃經、肺經、心包經有關，結果與傳統醫學對於高血脂之腎衰、腸胃失調、心腎虛弱等辯證大致相符，其結果或許可提供傳統醫學在臨床診斷的應用與參考。
This research aimed at investigating the relationships between skin electrical conductance (EC) of 24 meridians and the concentration of total cholesterol and triglyceride in adult humans. The objects were older than 40 years of age who had same adult health check - ups in Tai-chung Hospital from September of 2008 to May of 2009. Objects who were pregnant or installed pacemakers were excluded. Totally, 882 persons were recruited in this study. Dependent-samples t test, Crosstabs chi-square test and logistic regression were used for data statistics. The results revealed that: (1) on meridian acupoints upper extremity (including lung meridian, pericardium meridian, heart meridian, small intestine meridian, triple energizer meridian and large intestine meridian) showed higher meridian electrical conductance values (lower resistance) ; howere, those on lower extremity (including spleen meridian, liver meridian, kidney meridian, urinary bladder meridian, gall bladder meridian and stomach meridian) showed lower meridian electrical conductance values (higher resistance) ; the average EC deviation from individual meridian mean was higher on the left than the right; (2) gender analysis indicating that the abnormal TC and TG incidences were higher in females (TC abnormalities were 63.32% in female and 36.68% in male; TG abnormalities were 51.93% in female and 48.07% in males). According to age analysis, higher abnormal incidences in TC and TG were observed in subjects 65 years (TC abnormalities were 57.24% in those ≥ 65 years of age and 42.76% in those < 65 years of age; TG abnormalities were 55.25% in those ≥ 65 years of age and 44.75% in those < 65 years of age) ; (3) meridian electrical conductance deviation analysis revealing that the electrical conductance of large intestine meridian (left), small intestine meridian (right) and large intestine meridian (right) was higher than 15.78 μA, 2.35 μA and 10.01 μA , respectively and that of kidney meridian (left) and stomach meridian (left) was less than -11.68 μA and -5.33 μA, respectively, which could be identified as abnormal in TC levels. Whereas, the electrical conductance of large intestine (left) higher than 15.59 μA, lung meridian (right) less than 9.38 μA and the pericardium meridian (right) less than 7.15 μA could be identified as TG abnormalities. This study indicated that TC and TG abnormalities were related to the large intestine meridian, small intestine meridian, kidney meridian, stomach meridian, lung meridian and pericardium meridian. The results were broadly in accordance with the justifications of hyperlipidemia renal failure, gastrointestinal disorders as well as heart and kidney weakness in traditional medicine. These results provide a reference for traditional medicine in clinical diagnostics. |
