교차편광 촬영술(Cross Polarization Photographic Technique)를 이용한 부항요법의 배수혈 피부 색소 침착 변화 측정 평가 A New Method For Measuring Acupoint Pigmentation After Cupping Using Cross Polarization원문보기
목적 : 부항요법은 국소적 부위를 진공상태로 유지시키는 과정 중 유두층 안의 표피혈관을 파괴됨에 따라 발생하는 색소, 응결, 자반, 수포, 압통 반응 등을 살피어 오장육부의 기능이상을 진단하고 있다. 시각에 의존하는 주관적인 혈색소 판별로 인한 진단방법에서 벗어나 정량적으로 측정 및 분석이 가능하기 위하여 교차편광 촬영술을 접목하였으며, 새로운 혈색소 평가 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 방법 : 족태양방광경의 좌/우 폐수(BL13), 심수(BL15), 간수(BL18), 신수(BL23) 총 10개에 80 kPa 의 음압으로 1분 동안 자극하였다. 교차편광 촬영술을 이용하여 부항 자극 직전과 60분 이후까지 2분마다 이미지를 획득하였다. 획득한 이미지에서 $L^*a^*b^*$ space로 변환하여 분석하였으며, RGB space에서 홍반지수 (E.I: erythema index)를 계산하여 분석하였다. 또한 부항 자극 전 각 경혈에서 젖산 농도를 측정하여 색 지표들간의 관계성 분석을 통하여, 근육의 상태와 부항 자극으로 유도된 피부 색 변화와의 관계를 확인하고자 하였다. 결과 : 교차편광 촬영술을 이용하여 획득한 이미지에서의 $L^*$, $a^*$ 그리고 E.I 모두 부항 자극에 따른 피부 색 변화를 정량적으로 나타낼 수 있는 유의한 지표임을 확인하였다. 부항 자극 40분 후에 피부 색 변화가 더 이상 관찰되지 않았다. 또한 각 경혈에서의 젖산 농도와 피부 색 변화 정도와 유의한 차이가 없음을 확인하였다. 결론 : 설진을 포함하여 한의학적 색 진단을 하기 위한 방법으로 교차편광 촬영술 활용 가능성을 확인하였다. 또한 $L^*$, $a^*$ 그리고 E.I 모두 색 지표로서 유의성을 확인하였다. 향후, 장부 기능 이상과 혈색소 반응간의 상관성을 확보하기 위한 연구가 진행하기 전에, 음압 도중 발생하는 조직 내 다양한 반응과 혈색소 반응간의 관계를 확보하고자 하는 노력이 우선적으로 진행되어야 한다.

Objectives : Skin color deformation by cupping has been widely used as a diagnostic parameter in Traditional Korean Medicine(TKM). Skin color deformation such as ecchymoses and purpura is induced by local vacuum in a suction cup. Since existing studies have relied on a visual diagnostic method, there is a need to use the quantitative measurement method. Methods : We conducted an analysis of cross-polarization photographic images to assess the changes in skin color deformation. The skin color variation was analyzed using $L^*a^*b^*$ space and the skin erythema index(E.I.). The meridian theory in TKM indicates that the condition of primary internal organs is closely related to the skin color deformation at special acupoints. Before conducting these studies, it is necessary to evaluate whether or not skin color deformation is influenced by muscle condition. Hence, we applied cupping at BL13, BL15, BL18, BL20 and BL23 at Bladder Meridian(BL) and measured blood lactate at every acupoint. Results : We confirmed the high system measurement accuracy, and observed the diverse skin color deformations. Moreover, we confirmed that the $L^*$, $a^*$ and E.I. had not changed after 40 minutes(p>0.05). The distribution of blood lactate levels at each part was observed differently. Blood lactate level and skin color deformation at each part was independent of each other. Conclusions : The negative pressure produced by the suction cup induces a reduction in the volumetric fraction of melanosomes and subsequent reduction in epidermal thickness. The relationship between variations of tissue and skin properties and skin color deformation degree must be investigated prior to considering the relationship between internal organ dysfunction and skin color deformation.

문제 정의
Moreover, the result of in vivo experimentation reported that the reduction in thickness of both the epidermis and papillary dermis was observed to be 7% at 20 kPa and 17% at 35 kPa, respectively37). These studies aimed to verify the relationship between bulk tissue changes and skin surface stretching induced by applying negative pressure. It was reported that skin displacement by suction cup had a linear relationship of up to about 34 kPa.
제안 방법
Because the dryness/moisture of the skin responds quickly to the temperature of the surrounding environment, this experiment was conducted in an optical test lab, which was a dark room where a constant temperature of 24℃ and a humidity of 40% were maintained.
However, the achromatic color tool poses some problems, including color-related damage and a degree of color change. In order to detect exactly skin color changes, we conducted both an auto-white balance and a custom white balance test. Moreover, we measured the 24 color- checker chart, which is an imaging measurement evaluation ubiquitously used in the photographic and video fields.
To confirm the accuracy of color measurements, we conducted a simple linear regression between measurement values and reference values from the 24 color-checker chart. As a result, we confirmed high linearity at RGB and L*a*b* space over R-square 0.
The distance from digital camera to participant was 70 cm. To confirm the amount time required to achieve no further change in skin color deformation, each skin color deformation was measured by the digital color camera for 1 hour. The images were analyzed by dividing the boundary line into three equal parts(Fig.
대상 데이터
In order to limit pain caused by cupping, we selected acupoints at BL which is positioned in the back muscle. Hence, the left and right BL13, BL15, BL18, BL20, and BL23 which represent the five viscera of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were selected.
We chose 15 male college students(mean age 24±2 years) who voluntarily agreed to participate in this clinical study.
데이터처리
A Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to analyze the linearity of the relationships between blood lactate and each skin color variance parameters.
A simple linear regression was performed to confirm the accuracy of the measurement between standard 24 sRGB color values by the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage(CIE) and measured 24 RGB color values using ColorChecker 2005. To assess the time required to achieve no further skin color change, the contrast test based on the one-way repeated measures analysis of variance(ANOVA) was conducted. Moreover, we conducted the one-way ANOVA and post hoc analyses to assess the significant differences in blood lactate, L*, a* and E.
성능/효과
The results of a simple linear regression indicated a high degree of linearity of each R-square between detected and standardized RGB values(0.998, 0.997 and 0.999, respectively;(Fig. 4)), and of each R-square between detected and standardized L*a*b* values(0.999, 0.998 and 0.998, respectively;(Fig. 5)).
