Abstract

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves measuring electric conductivity I of representative biologically active points on 12 paired meridians: P (lungs), GI (large intestine), E (stomach), RP (spleen and pancreas), C (heart), IG (small intestine), V (urinary bladder), R (kidneys), MC (pericardium), TR (triple heater), VB (gallbladder) and F (liver). Then physiological norm is calculated as health corridor with arithmetic mean I_m of electric conductivity of representative biologically active points being taken into account and each meridian state being determined. Next to it, human psychosomatic state is identified with each meridian state being taken into account when comparing actual electric conductivity values in representative biologically active points to calculated physiologic norm reference values. The physiologic norm is calculated from formula I norm = I_m ± 10 mcA. Five human psychosomatic state types are to be determined. One with dominating activation is determined in cases when E,RP,C,R meridian condition corresponds to yang-syndrome and GI,E,IG,V meridian condition corresponds to yin-syndrome. One with dominating asthenia is determined in cases when E,V meridian condition corresponds to yang-syndrome and RP,R meridian condition corresponds to yin-syndrome. One with dominating anxiousness is determined in cases when IG,VB meridian condition corresponds to yang-syndrome and C,MC,F meridian condition corresponds to yin-syndrome. One with dominating hypochondria is determined in cases when GI meridians condition corresponds to yang-syndrome and P,TR meridians condition corresponds to yin-syndrome. One with dominating psychopathy is determined in cases when MC,TR,F meridian condition corresponds to yang-syndrome and VB meridians condition corresponds to yin-syndrome. Each meridian condition is determined and following human psychosomatic state is identified both with computer-based method and without computer.

EFFECT: high accuracy of quantitative physiologic norm estimation.

Description

The present invention relates to the field of medicine and psychology, namely to reflexodiagnostics, and can be used in the assessment and correction of the psychosomatic condition (MSS) of a person.

The literature describes methods for determining the psychoemotional state of a person based on the psychological testing of subjects using various test questionnaires (1, 2).

These methods have the following significant drawbacks: the lack of objectivity of the study due to the ability of the subject to influence the results of the examination (insincerity, negative attitude towards testing, random error: listened to something, did not understand something, etc.), time consuming and problematic testing in early childhood.

There are also known methods for determining human PSS by means of electro-puncture diagnostics (EPD), based on measuring the electrical parameters of representative biologically active points (BAPs), statistical processing of the obtained data and determining the quantitative characteristics of BAPs corresponding to the state of meridians and reflecting the state of internal organs and systems of the human body (3 -6).

These methods are characterized by the objectivity of the study, since information about the condition of the subject comes not from his words, as in psychological testing, but directly from his organs and systems through electropuncture measurements, regardless of the age and desire of the subject. In known methods, the localization and degree of the pathological process is judged by the value of the BAT electrical parameters (for example, electrical conductivity). In this case, changes in BAP appear earlier than the obvious clinical signs of the disease, i.e. identification of prenosological conditions is possible.

A common disadvantage of these methods is the inability to determine the psycho-emotional state of the subjects. At the same time, data on the established reliable relationship between the somatic and mental state of a person are known in the literature (7, 8).

The closest but technical essence and functional purpose is a method for determining human PSS through EPD, including the measurement of electrical parameters of representative BAT; statistical processing of the data; determination of the state of meridians, reflecting the state of internal organs and human systems; calculating the ratio of the sum of the currents in the BAT of the manual meridians to the sum of the currents in the BAT of the foot meridians (B / N), selected as a diagnostic criterion for the psycho-emotional state of the subjects; comparing it with the boundary values of this ratio, corresponding to two polar types of PSS: psychoemotional load with B / H> 0.8 and psychasthenia with B / H <0.8; identification by comparing one of the two types of MSS; real-time calculation according to well-known formulas of the BAT electrical conductivity limit values corresponding to three PSS levels requiring psychocorrection: incomplete adaptation (individual norm), unstable adaptation (suspicion corridor) and adaptation failure (pathology); comparing the actual values of the BAT electrical conductivity with their calculated boundary values and, based on the results of the comparison, determining the desired level of the identified type of MSS requiring psychocorrection (9), which is accepted by the authors as a prototype.

The common essential features of the prototype and the claimed object are the measurement of the electrical conductivity (I) of representative BAPs of twelve pair meridians: P (lungs), GI (large intestine), E (stomach), RP (spleen and pancreas), C (heart), IG ( small intestine), V (bladder), R (kidney), MS (pericardium), TR (triple heater), VB (gall bladder) and F (liver), calculation of the physiological norm (health corridor) taking into account the arithmetic mean value (Icp ) electrical conductivity of representative BAPs; determination of the state of each of the meridian and the subsequent identification of the MSS with the meridians state by comparing the current values at representative points conductivity meridians with the computed value of the physiological norm (I norm).

The disadvantages of the prototype are: 1) a limited number of identifiable types of MSS (only two: psychoemotional load and psychasthenia); 2) the lack of a quantitative assessment of the physiological norm of BAP parameters, which is included in the individual norm and does not require psychocorrection, which leads to the need for psychocorrection even at normal BAP conductivity values.

The aim of the invention is to expand the functionality of the known method by increasing its information content by introducing a quantitative assessment of the physiological norm and additional identification of five types of MSS.

This goal is achieved by the fact that the physiological norm is additionally calculated according to the formula I norm = I cp ± 10 μA and five types of human MSS are additionally determined, while MSS with a predominance of activation is identified when the state of the meridians P, RP, C, R corresponds to yang - syndrome, and the state of the meridians GI, E, IG, V corresponds to the yin syndrome; PPS with a predominance of asthenia is identified in the case when the state of the meridians E, V corresponds to the yang syndrome, and the state of the meridians RP, R corresponds to the yin syndrome; PSS with a predominance of anxiety is identified when the state of the meridians IG, VB corresponds to the yang syndrome, and the state of the meridians C, MS, F corresponds to the yin syndrome; PSS with a predominance of hypochondria is identified when the state of the GI meridians corresponds to the yang syndrome, and the state of the P, TR meridians corresponds to the yin syndrome; PSS with a predominance of psychopathy is identified when the state of the meridians of MS, TR, F corresponds to the yang syndrome, and the state of the VB meridians corresponds to the yin syndrome. The determination of the state of each meridian and the subsequent identification of the MSS are carried out both with a computer and without it.

The essence of the proposal is that they reveal the relationship between the types of PSS, on the one hand, and the combination of affected meridians with the nature of their lesions: yang syndrome or yin syndrome, on the other hand; based on the revealed relationship between the types of MSS and the combination of affected meridians with the nature of their lesions, choose as a diagnostic criterion the combination of affected meridians and the nature of their lesion: yang syndrome or yin syndrome corresponding to five types of MSS (see figure 1):

P, RP, C, R (yang syndrome); GI, E, IG, V (yin syndrome) = activation;

E, V (yang syndrome); RP, R (yin syndrome) = asthenia;

IG, VB (yang syndrome); C, MS, F (yin syndrome) = anxiety;

GI (yang syndrome); P, TR (yin syndrome) = hypochondria;

MS, TR, F (yang syndrome); VB (yin syndrome) = psychopathy.

In addition, in the claimed method, the physiological norm is calculated according to the formula I norm - I cf ± 10 μA, which increases the accuracy of psychodiagnostics (see figure 2).

When using the automatic mode, the formula for determining the physiological norm and the selected diagnostic criterion are preliminarily introduced into the computer’s memory, the studied electrical signal about the state of the meridians is compared with the signals recorded in the computer’s memory, and the desired PSS type is identified by comparison with the predominance of activation, asthenia, anxiety hypochondriacal and psychopathic symptoms.

The determination of human PSS in the claimed method is as follows.

Using measuring electrodes (active and passive), the electrical conductivity of representative BAPs is measured on the wrist and foot of the subject. When measuring BAT electrical conductivity, a passive electrode is placed in the patient’s hand, and the active electrode is moved sequentially along the skin projections of 24 BAT on his hand and foot in a certain sequence (for example, left hand, right hand, left leg, right leg), 6 points each to each area. The obtained values of electrical conductivity (24 measurements per person) in real time are sent to a computer, where they are compared with signals previously recorded in the computer's memory, and the desired type of PSS is identified by comparison, and the physiological norm is calculated by the formula I norm = I cf . ± 10 μA (10),

- среднеарифметическое значение электропроводимости репрезентативных БАТ.Where

- the arithmetic mean value of the electrical conductivity of representative BAT.

EPD conditions are standard. The examination room is chosen far from the noise level so that it contributes to the calm internal state of the subjects. For objectivity and standardization of the survey results, the same conditions are strictly observed: at the same hours (10-12) with a minimum time gap, on an empty stomach, in the position of the examined patient, in a state of neuropsychic rest, with maximum muscle relaxation, in the absence of extraneous noise, with an empty bladder and intestines, in women - outside of menstruation. When preparing the subject for EPD, they clarify whether there are any contraindications to the procedure (high fever, skin diseases, etc.), offer to remove metal objects and shoes, and rub out the skin projections of representative BAPs on her hand and foot with physiological saline. The whole EPD procedure takes no more than 5-10 minutes per person, which allows you to apply the claimed method for screening (mass) examinations, in particular, when examining athletes before and after competitions.

The figure 1 presents the developed meridian psychodiagnostic models based on a new diagnostic criterion: a combination of affected meridians and the nature of their lesion: yang syndrome or yin syndrome, corresponding to five types of MSS.

The classic meridians are indicated on the abscissa axis: P, GI, E, RP, C, IG, V, R, MC, TR, VB and F, and on the ordinate axis - the state of meridians, determined by the value of the BAT electrical conductivity. The middle line corresponds to the physiological norm (physiological health corridor), the upper field corresponds to the yang syndrome, and the lower field to the yin syndrome.

The type of PSS is uniquely determined by the combination of the affected meridians and the nature of their lesion (yang syndrome or yin syndrome).

The figure 2 shows a General view of the model of the meridian psychodiagnostics with detail donosological conditions. The average field corresponds to the physiological norm (health corridor). This condition is satisfactory adaptation, not requiring correction. Above and below the health corridor are the fields indicated on the graph by the numbers I and II and limited by the letters B ₁ , B ₂ , H ₁ and H ₂ . The change in the current values in both directions from the physiological norm, but within field 1 (from H ₁ to B ₁ ) corresponds to the state of incomplete (partial) adaptation and refers to the individual norm (individual health corridor). And the range of currents from H ₂ to B ₂ corresponds to unstable adaptation and refers to the "corridor of suspicion". In this case, the physiological norm is determined by the formula I _norm = Iav ± 10 μA (10), and the boundaries of fields I and II - B ₁ , B ₂ , H ₁ and H _{2 are} determined by formulas (9):

where Iav is the arithmetic mean value of the electrical conductivity of 24 BAT.

The output of controlled currents outside the corridor of suspicion (field III) refers to pathology: above is acute stress, below is a state of depletion of adaptive reserves (energy-deficient state).

The algorithm for determining the MSS level by the deviation of the BAT electrical conductivity from the physiological norm is shown in table 1.

Table 1 BAT conductivity area Boundary Formulas The level of human health according to R.M.Baevsky, class Physiological norm (physiological health corridor) I _norm = Icp ± 10 μA Optimal and normal degree of voltage (1st grade) Individual rate (individual health corridor) (I) H ₁ = 0.919 × Iav-6.2
B ₁ = 1,085 × Icp + 7.2 Moderate and severe functional stress (Grade 2) Corridor of Suspicion (II) H ₂ = 0.84 × Icp-12.4
B ₂ = 1.17 × Icp + 14.4 Pronounced functional stress and overvoltage (3rd grade) Pathology: at the top - acute stress, at the bottom - energy deficient state (III) <H ₂
> B ₂ Depletion of regulatory mechanisms of the body and failure of adaptation (4th grade)

As follows from Table 1, the areas where the conductivity values of representative BAT are located in the “normal”, I, II, and III zones correspond to classes 1–4 of the level of human health according to P.M. Baevsky (11).

The figure 3 presents a structural block diagram of a device for determining the MSS of a person who implements the proposed method.

The device comprises a personal computer 1 equipped with a printer 2, a test voltage unit 3, a measurement unit 4, a measuring electrode unit 5, including an active electrode 6, a passive electrode 7 and a grounding circuit 8, a conversion unit 9, a memory unit of 10 types of PSS, recognition unit 11 types of MSS, block 12 calculation, block 13 recognition level MSS and block 14 galvanic communication, connected electrically in series so that the output of block 3 through block 4 is connected to the inputs of blocks 5 and 9, the outputs of block 9 are connected to the inputs of blocks 11 and 12, the second input of block 11 is connected to the output of block 10, the outputs of blocks 11 and 12 are connected to the inputs of block 13, the output of which is connected to the input of block 14, and the outputs of block 14 are connected to the second input of block 5 and computer 1 through its port 15, while the computer 1 has a two-way communication with the printer 2 and the block 5 of the measuring electrodes. The above blocks are structurally designed in the form of a portable electro-puncture device connected to computer 1 through its port 15.

The device operates as follows.

A test DC voltage of a predetermined value from block 3 of the test voltage is supplied to the measuring electrodes 6 and 7 of block 5 of the electrodes through block 4 of measurement, the output of which is connected to the input of block 9 of the conversion, which converts the measured values of the currents through the BAP into a signal received by computer 1. Investigated signals containing information about the state of 12 paired meridians of the subject, from the outputs of the conversion unit 9 are fed to the inputs of the recognition unit 11 and the calculation unit 12. In block 11, the actual values of the signals about the state of the meridians are compared with the signals recorded in the memory block 10 types of MSS, and the desired type of MSS is identified by the results of the comparison. In block 12, the physiological norm of BAT I electrical conductivity is calculated in real time and their boundary values H1, B1, H2 and B2 are calculated. In the block 13 recognition of the level of the MSS, the actual values of the current parameters of the BAT are compared with the boundary values calculated in block 12, and the level of the identified type of the MSS is determined from the results of the comparison. Moreover, the amplitude of the signals for each meridian is determined by the deviation of the BAT electrical conductivity from the physiological norm, and the sign of the signal from the side of the deviation.

When the test signal coincides with the signal "norm", the output signal from block 13 is not formed. As a result of this, recognition signals are generated only when the BAP parameters go beyond the physiological norm.

The proposed method has been tested. Below is evidence of the diagnosis of the proposed method. The studies were carried out for two years at the bases of the St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University (SPb GPU) and the School of Olympic Reserve (RBM) No. 1 and No. 2. The essence of the study was to simultaneously examine the subjects in two independent ways (psychological testing and EPD).

The somatic profile of the “riodoraku" of the test subjects was determined by the Nakatani EPD method (12). As representative BATs, in the projections of which electropuncture measurements were made, aiding points were used (3-6). The values of the electrical conductivity of representative BATs (I, μA) in 12 paired meridians (24 measurements per person) were selected as controlled electrical indicators. As a tool, we used certified Nakatani hardware-software complex based on a personal computer developed by AOZT Electronic Medical Systems (St. Petersburg) and a stand-alone DEA-1 electropuncture device developed by Electron CJSC (St. Petersburg). The psychological profile of the subjects was determined according to well-known test questionnaires (1, 2). As the studied mental states, PSS was selected with a predominance of activation, asthenia, anxiety, hypochondriacal and psychopathic symptoms (figure 1).

Statistical processing of the obtained experimental data was carried out using t-student test. The statistical significance of the differences was taken at p <0.05.

The following are specific examples of examining specific patients using the proposed method. These examples show how, using the proposed method, carry out diagnostics. As an example, 5 young highly qualified athletes UOR-1 (summer sports) and UOR-2 (winter sports) were selected:

1. K.M., 16 years old, hockey, 1 category;

2. O.E., 20 years old, diving, honored master of sports;

3. P.I., 15 years old, swimming, international master of sports;

4. MM, 14 years old, boxing, 1 category;

3. AN, 20 years old, biathlon, international master of sports.

To confirm the possibility of psychodiagnostics by the claimed method in table 2, for each of the 5 selected athletes, a comparative analysis of the obtained real values of the BAP electrical conductivity was carried out with the boundary values of the physiological norm (I norm), individual norm (H1, B1) and the suspicion corridor ( H2, B2).

Based on the results of a comparative analysis, the BAP boundary values were determined that went beyond the physiological norm and the corresponding meridians. According to the accepted diagnostic criterion, depending on the combination of affected meridians and the nature of their lesion (yang syndrome or yin syndrome), the type of identified MSS is determined - with or without a computer.

The summary table 3 shows the average conductivity values of representative BATs of 12 meridians for 5 selected athletes, the values of I cf, I norm and the boundary values of H ₁ , H ₂ , B ₁ and B ₂ in μA.

Analysis of table 3 showed that K.M. with a physiological norm of 48.1-68.1 μA and with an individual norm of 47.19-70.24 μA, the BAT conductivity values of the IG and VB meridians are 79 and 78 μA, respectively (Jan syndrome), and the BAT conductivity values of the C, MS meridians and F are 44, 47, and 45 μA, respectively (yin syndrome), which, according to the accepted diagnostic criterion, corresponds to the PSS type of anxiety.

O.E. with a physiological norm of 37.5-57.5 μA and an individual norm of 37.45-58.74 μA, the BAT conductivity values of the E and V meridians are 72 and 79 μA, respectively (Jan syndrome), and the BAT conductivity values of the RP and R meridians make up 33 and 35 μA (yin syndrome), respectively, which, according to the accepted diagnostic criterion, corresponds to the type of PSS "asthenia". Similarly, the results of EPD for three other athletes are interpreted.

A total of 333 people of both sexes were examined, including 210 students aged 17 to 23 years and 123 highly qualified young athletes aged 12 to 20 years. According to the state of the meridian system, subjects with PSS violation were identified (table 4).

A comparative analysis of the results of a survey of 333 people, carried out in two independent ways: psychological testing and EPD, showed a rather high degree of correlation of the results.

The figure 4 presents a block diagram of a diagnostic algorithm for a computer program, on the basis of which a comparison is made of the received signals with those recorded in the computer's memory and a conclusion is made about the psychological state of a person.

The algorithm includes the following operators:

1 - input of the program and initial data (date and time of examination);

2 - input into the computer memory of the selected diagnostic criterion for PSS by a combination of affected meridians and the nature of their defeat;

3 - input into the computer memory of the formula for calculating the physiological norm of electrical conductivity of the BAT I norm = I cp ± 10 μA;

4 - input of the initial data of the subject (name, gender and age);

5 - measurement and input of values of electrical conductivity of representative BAP of the subject;

6 - analog-to-digital conversion;

7 - calculation of the arithmetic mean value of electrical conductivity I cf;

8 - calculation of the physiological norm of electrical conductivity BAT I norm;

9 - comparison of real values of the electrical conductivity of representative BAT of the subject with the physiological norm and the formation of a sequence of the studied signals about the state of 12 meridians;

10 - comparison of the sequence of the studied signals about the state of 12 meridians with the sequence of signals recorded in the computer memory and corresponding to five types of MSS according to the diagnostic criterion, and determining the desired type of MSS;

11 - recording to the computer hard drive and printing the result.

Description of the algorithm for determining the MSS.

After entering the program by operator 1 and writing the diagnostic criterion and the formula for the physiological norm of the BAT electrical conductivity by operators 2 and 3 into the computer’s memory unit, the device that implements the claimed method is ready for operation. Next, the basic data of the subject (name, gender and age) are recorded by operator 4 and passive electrodes are passed into his hands. Operator 5 measures the electrical conductivity of 24 representative BAT and the measured electrical conductivity is entered into the computer. Then, the operator 6 perform analog-to-digital conversion, after which all operations are performed in digital code. Operator 7 calculates the arithmetic mean value of 24 BAP, and operator 8 calculates the physiological norm of BAT electrical conductivity. Operator 9 compares the obtained values of the electrical conductivity of representative BAPs of the subject with the physiological norm and, after checking the conditions of the operator, form a sequence of the studied signals about the state of 12 meridians: norm, yang syndrome or yin syndrome. The generated sequence of the studied signals after the operator’s condition 9 is met for all 12 meridians is sent to block 10. In block 10, the sequence of the studied signals about the state of 12 meridians is compared with the sequence of signals recorded in the computer memory and corresponding to five types of MSS according to the diagnostic criterion, and the type is identified PSS, i.e. conduct electropuncture diagnostics. Through the operator 11, the results of the psycho-diagnostics are recorded on the hard disk of the computer for their further use.

Thus, the use of a new diagnostic criterion of the type “combination of affected meridians and the nature of their lesion - human PSS” allows us to identify an additional five types of PSS: activation, asthenia, anxiety, hypochondria and psychopathy.

In addition, the calculation of the physiological norm has improved the accuracy of psychodiagnostics. In the prototype, an individual norm includes a physiological norm and corresponds to a diagnosis of "practically healthy", i.e. third state: not sick - not healthy.

The main technical result achieved by the implementation of the claimed method is the possibility of using the EPD method as an alternative or additional way to determine the psychological state of a person through the electrical parameters of representative BAT.

The combination of well-known and distinctive features of the invention provides a new positive effect, namely, it expands the functionality of the known method by introducing a fundamentally new diagnostic criterion, which further provided the identification of five types of MSS and increased diagnostic accuracy.

Claims (2)

1. A method for determining the psychosomatic state (PSS) of a person by means of electro-puncture diagnostics, including measuring the electrical conductivity (I) of representative BAPs of twelve paired meridians: P (lungs), GI (large intestine), E (stomach), RP (spleen and pancreas), C (heart), IG (small intestine), V (bladder), R (kidney), MS (pericardium), TR (triple heater), VB (gall bladder) and F (liver), calculation of the physiological norm (health corridor ) taking into account the arithmetic mean value (Icp) of electrical conductivity of rep of existential BAT, determination of the state of each meridian and subsequent identification of the MSS taking into account the state of the meridians when comparing the existing values of electrical conductivity at representative points of the meridians with the calculated value of the physiological norm (I norm), characterized in that the physiological norm is calculated by the formula: I norm = I cp ± 10 μA, five types of human PSS are determined, while PSS with a predominance of activation is identified when the state of the meridians P, RP, C, R corresponds to the yang syndrome, and the state of the meridians ANTONOV GI, E, IG, V corresponds yin-syndrome; PPS with a predominance of asthenia is identified in the case when the state of the meridians E, V corresponds to the yang syndrome, and the state of the meridians RP, R corresponds to the yin syndrome; PSS with a predominance of anxiety is identified when the state of the meridians IG, VB corresponds to the yang syndrome, and the state of the meridians C, MS, F corresponds to the yin syndrome; PSS with a predominance of hypochondria is identified when the state of the GI meridians corresponds to the yang syndrome, and the state of the P, TR meridians corresponds to the yin syndrome; PSS with a predominance of psychopathy is identified when the state of the meridians of MS, TR, F corresponds to the yang syndrome, and the state of the VB meridians corresponds to the yin syndrome. 2. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that the determination of the state of each meridian and subsequent identification of the MSS is carried out using a computer.
