脉图与病证关系研究中存在问题刍议

现代脉象研究多应用脉诊仪进行脉图描记,并结合疾病及证候进行研究,逐步形成了较为系统的脉诊理论体系,推动了脉诊客观化的研究进程.但由于脉象形成原理复杂,表达信息多样,脉诊仪描记的脉图很难反映脉象的复杂信息;加之仪器采集信息手段单一、脉图分析方法简单,以及证候标准化研究尚不完善等原因,增加了临床研究中脉证合参的难度.在今后的脉诊研究工作中,应注重临床应用;应加强沟通及交流,统一仪器及标准;同时加强与证候关系的研究,从根本上认知脉象本质;并且政府应加大扶持力度,加强多学科的联合.

Discussion of some problems in studying relationship between sphygmo-diagram and syndrome types or diseases

In contemporary studies of pulse and of the relationship between sphygmo-diagram and syndrome types or diseases, pulse instrument is usually applied to trace the sphygmo-diagram. A comparatively systemic theory about pulse diagnosis has been formed, and it promotes the pulse researching process. But the mechanism of pulse is complicated and the expressive information of pulse is diversity. So it is difficult to record the complicated information of pulse by applying the instrument. In addition, the simplicity in methods of tracing and analyzing sphygmo-diagram and the lack of criterion for syndrome differentiation make it difficult to study the relationship between the sphygmo-diagram and the syndrome types. It's important to lay stress on clinical applying, to promote communication among researchers, to unify the standards of pulse instrument and syndrome differentiation, and to reinforce the research on the relationship between sphygmo-diagram and the syndrome types. The government's support is also needed to promote multi-science cooperation at the same time.
