This article summarized the technique research and application status of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), in order to explore hypoxia,qi-deficiency and their connections with typical symptoms. It also discussed NIRS acquired oxygen saturation (SaO2) and its relevant means and methods for information quantification ofqi-deficiency. The accurate obtained SaO2 value was applied in the association with the strength of chest distress in the subjective sensation due toqi-deficiency. According to current data, the normal value,qi-deficiency degree and uncomfortable degree of subjective sensation among patients of different altitudes and ages were summarized. It can be applied to assist TCM physicians in the quick quantification of qi-deficiency.

This study was aimed to observe the clinical effect of low frequency negative pressure meridian viscera regulating sub-health.According to the diagnostic criteria,34 cases of sub healthy subjects were randomly selected.The low frequency negative pressure meridian viscera regulating method was used.By analyzing the cupping spot color feedback conditioning information of the sub healthy subjects and conditioning before and after the synthesis of the four diagnostic methods of digital and quantitative,its effect was evaluated.After 4 weeks of continuous adjustment,34 cases of sub healthy subjects,compared with preconditioning,cupping spot color of the subjects was shallow or disappeared (P < 0.01);after adjusting,the proportion of light red tongue and thin white tongue coating increased obviously (P < 0.05),the proportion of ecchymosis tongue was decreased compared to precoditioning (P < 0.05);after adjustment,core symptoms such as back pain,neck pain,anxiety and irritability,were alleviated or disappeared;after adjustment,the pulse string tightness decreased significantly (P < 0.01).It was concluded that the low frequency negative pressure meridian viscera regulation can significantly improve discomfort symptoms of sub healthy subjects and promote therecovery of tongue,pulse and cupping spot color in sub healthy subjects.This method is worth popularizing and further exploring.
