Description

The invention relates to medicine, in particular to methods and devices for rapid diagnosis of the functional state of an organism according to physiological indicators of reflex (active) zones and biologically active points (BAP), and can be used in the diagnosis and monitoring of human health, including computerized diagnostic complexes.

A known method of acquiring data on the state of BAP of the human body, based on the measurement of concentration-kinetic (CSI) potentials of the studied BAT using copper-liquid electrodes (RF patent No. 2087125 C1), adopted by us as a prototype.

In this method, an indifferent electrode is installed in the oral cavity on the BAP of the posterior median meridian, located on the frenum of the upper lip, which is continuously wetted by saliva, and the measuring electrode - on the test point, the anatomical zone of which is pre-moistened with physiological fluid.

The device for its implementation is an electrode made of a laboratory melanger for blood sampling, inside which a copper wire is passed. The melanger is filled with physiological fluid (0.9% sodium chloride solution), create and maintain atmospheric pressure. With the help of this pressure, a biologically active point is constantly wetted by physiological fluid. A measuring electrode made in this way is installed in the anatomical zone of the studied BAT, having previously wetted this zone with physiological fluid. The second (indifferent) electrode in the form of a copper wire is installed in the BAP zone located in the oral cavity (on the bridle of the upper lip), which allows not to additionally wet this point with liquid. The high-resistance meter measures the concentration-kinetic (CSI) potential of the selected point. Before starting measurements, the electrodes are calibrated in a reservoir common to them with the same physiological fluid. In case of doubt about the reliability of the obtained indicators, the calibration of the electrodes is repeated. This method and device for its implementation allow to obtain fairly accurate and reliably repeating results of measurements of the CSI potentials of the studied BAT.

The disadvantage of this method and device is the placement of an indifferent electrode in the oral cavity. This creates constructive difficulties in the manufacture of electrodes and their preparation for work, leads to a violation of the hygiene of the procedure, the inconvenience of its conduct and the loss of measurement accuracy due to the difficulty of re-calibrating the electrodes during the study: the need to remove the electrode from the oral cavity, put it in the general reservoir, and then return to the oral cavity.

The technical result of the proposed method and device is to simplify the design of the electrodes and the process of work, which is manifested in the refusal to manufacture, store and install interchangeable ends of the wire for its placement in the oral cavity, hygiene and comfort of the procedure, the convenience of measurements, as well as to increase the accuracy of measurements for due to more affordable re-calibration of the electrodes during the study.

This is achieved by measuring the CSI potentials of the BAT by two similar electrodes, while the measuring electrode is installed in the center of the anatomical zone of the studied BAT, and the second (indifferent) is installed at a distance of 20 mm from it in any direction from the center of the BAT anatomical zone. In case of doubt about the reliability of the obtained indicators, the electrode calibration is repeated, if necessary, before each measurement.

To do this, in the device for measuring the CSI potentials of the BAT, containing a measuring electrode in the form of a copper-liquid capillary reservoir filled with physiological fluid, the indifferent electrode is made in the form of the same copper-liquid capillary reservoir and is electrically isolated from the first, while the distance between the contact surfaces of the electrodes is 20 mm.

The claimed invention is tested in the examination of 296 people. The results obtained using the prototype method and the present invention were subjected to statistical processing using descriptive statistics and a paired t-test for related samples. We analyzed 4 values of the CSI potential (initial and final, left and right) of each of the 12 symmetric BAPs. The significance of differences was assessed using the parametric student t-test. In addition, we used a computer analysis of the measurement results using a specialized program of the Zodiac complex. No statistically significant differences were found (Research work “Activation of the adaptive potential of the human body using cold hypoxic effects and assessment of its effectiveness.” No. 4.00.055. P4, code “Activation.” - Russian Military Medical Academy, 2001. - 68 p.).

The invention is implemented as follows.

Figure 1 presents the electrical diagram of the device and a General view of the device from the side.

Figure 2 presents the average values of the CSI potentials of the BAT and the statistical energy punctogram of 12 healthy young people obtained using the computerized diagnostic complex "Zodiac" using the prototype method.

Figure 3 presents the average values of the CSI potentials of the BAT and the statistical energy punctogram of the same 12 people obtained by the claimed method.

The diagram and figure (figure 1) shows that the device contains two similar capillary reservoirs made of laboratory melangers for blood sampling. A copper wire is passed inside each of these melangers. The capillaries are filled with physiological fluid under atmospheric pressure, and are combined with a solid electrical insulating structure, taking into account the distance between the contact surfaces of the electrodes of 20 mm One of these electrodes serves as a measuring electrode, the other as an indifferent one.

Figure 2 and 3 shows that the average values of the CSI potentials and energy punctograms obtained using the prototype method and the new method do not have significant differences between themselves.

The present invention can be easily implemented, because it uses existing technologies and elemental base. It can be used in computerized diagnostic systems, as allows you to quickly and reliably receive information about the state of the BAT.

The method and device provide the structural simplicity of the electrodes both in their manufacture and when used in the process of working with the measuring device; hygiene and comfort of the examination procedure; convenience for the researcher; the possibility of examination in almost any condition, regardless of the age and condition of the patient; easily accessible recalibration of electrodes during measurements.

The proposed method and device can be used in appropriate software and hardware systems, used both for reflex, phyto, physio, manual and other types of traditional therapy, as well as in other areas of preventive, clinical, rehabilitation, sports, military medicine and ecology when conducting individual and mass surveys to solve various biomedical and medico-social problems.
