中医学证候量化诊断研究现状与思考

本文简要分析了中医学证候量化诊断的历史发展与研究现状,对目前用于中医证候量化诊断(如多元统计分析、计算机模式识别、DME/流行病学等)方法作了详述和讨论。认为证候量化研究应该重视中医理论,充分以临床实践为基础,开展多学科、多层次、多途径的交叉协作,使证候研究者具备较好的数学素质,使用较好的数学研究方法,从方法学上为证候量化研究提供正确保证,整体把握运用数学方法研究中医学问题。其次,要重视建立数学模型所用本底资料的科学性、可靠性、准确性,力求从源头上搭建证候量化的操作平台。

Present Situation of Study on Quantized Diagnosis of Syndromes in TCM and Consideration Caused Thereby

This article briefly analyzes the history and the status quo of the quantized diagnosis of syndromes in TCM, introduces and describes in detail several methods of quantized diagnosis of TCM syndromes, such as multivariant statistics and analysis, computer pattern recognition and DME/epidemiology, and puts forward some views about the status quo of the study in syndromes. It holds that firstly,in the study of quantized diagnosis of syndromes importance should be attached to the theory of TCM,and based on clinical practice collaboration should be carried out in multidisciplines, at various levels and through different approaches in order to ensure researchers' high level in mathemetics and better mathematic methods they would use. As the result exact guarantee would be provided for the study on syndromes in methodology and problems in TCM be delt with mathematic methods as a whole and secondly, attention should be paid to the scientificalness, reliability and accuracy of background data which are used to set up mathematic models, seeking to set up an operational plateform for quantized diagnosis of syndromes from the beginning of the study.
