基于微观角度的中医舌诊客观化研究的现在与未来

The Present and Future of the Research on the Objectification of TCM Tongue Diagnosis Based on the Microscopic Angle

舌诊是中医望诊的重要内容,随着计算机技术的不断发展,基于图像处理的舌象客观化研究在较多开展,但从微观角度对舌象形成的机制研究较少。开展舌象尤其是舌苔的形成分子机制对于推动舌象客观化研究具有重要的意义。本文系统总结了当前舌象形成机制在微生态、代谢组学、蛋白组学、基因表达谱等方向的研究现状,总结了当前研究存在的问题,并对未来的研究方向和任务提出了建议。

Tongue diagnosis is important in the inspection of traditional Chinese medicine. With the continuous development of computer technology, more researches on the objectification of tongue images based on image processing have been carried out, but there are few studies on the mechanism of tongue image formation from a microscopic perspective. It is of great significance to develop the molecular mechanism of tongue image, especially the formation of tongue coating, to promote the objectification of tongue image. This paper systematically summarizes the current research status of the tongue formation mechanism in microecology, metabolomics, proteomics, gene expression profiling, etc.,summarizes the existing problems in current research, and makes suggestions for future research directions and tasks.
