Abstract：Objective To explore the relationship of sanjiao and the space energy of zang-fu viscera projection zones involved in sanjiao by infrared thermography technology. Methods The space energy of projection zones of body surface of lung, heart, liver, spleen, kidney five zang organs and stomach, small intestine, bladder, large intestine four fu-organs, and sanjiao of 450 cases of healthy volunteers (male or female) in Beijing area were taken automatic positioning measurement by infrared thermography technology from March to November 2009. The sanjiao common factors and zang-fu common factors involved in sanjiao were extracted by factor analytical method, and they were explained by combining with basic theories of Chinese medicine. Results The upper jiao-lower jiao common factors were extracted in the related data set of upper jiao, middle jiao, lower jiao, the factors above could be still extracted after grouping by gender and age, and the accumulative contribution rates were all more than 85.0%; the heart-lung-bladder-large intestine common factors, liver-spleen-stomach common factors, kidney-small intestine common factors were extracted in the related data set of zang-fu involved in sanjiao, the accumulative contribution rate of each group was more than 75.0%. Conclusion The upper jiao and lower jiao has correlation in the energy distribution, there is a strong correlation between heart-lung involved in upper jiao and bladder-large intestine involved in lower jiao, which provides data support and objective evidence for the study of holism of TCM, and provides new ideas for the further research of basic theories of Chinese medicine.
