基于穴-症关系的经脉拓扑模型定量研究

Quantitative study of meridian topology model based on acupoint-symptom relationship

经脉理论对针灸临床起着重要的指导作用,自《针灸甲乙经》问世至今,经脉理论发生了诸多变化。本文以复杂性科学的视角定量分析了以经穴为节点、主治作为连边的穴-症网络的拓扑学性质,如高聚类系数与小世界效应,首次给出了抽象为不同时期穴-症网络的经脉系统具备高效信息传递性质的拓扑学证明,并分析其对复杂性科学背景下经脉理论发展定量化、数字化的意义,以期为经脉理论研究和针灸现代化提供新的思路与方法。

Meridian theory plays an important role in the guidance of clinical practice of acupuncture and moxibustion. Since the publication of Zhenjiu Jiayi Jing（A-B Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion）, the meridian theory has been developed. In the paper, in view of complex science, the topological properties of acupoint-symptom network were analyzed quantitatively by taking acupoint as node and indication as the connection, such as high clustering coefficient and the small world effect. It was the first time to give the abstraction for the topological proof of the high efficiency information transmission property of acupoint-symptom network meridian system at different times. Its quantitative and digitalized significance was analyzed on the development of meridian theory under the complex scientific background so as to provide a new thought and method for the study of meridian theory and acupuncture modernization.
