title: [Observation on the characters of infrared radiation spectrum of acupoints in normal humans and CHD patients].
abstract: In this experiment the data of the infrared radiation spectrum of acupoints in human body were obtained through an ingenious device. In thirty-one healthy volunteer subjects and thirty-one patients suffering from coronary heart disease, we detected the infrared radiation spectra from some acupoints and compared them with those of the healthy subjects. The curves of patients showed more differences. After analyzing the data, we noted statistically significant differences in some fields between the healthy subjects and the patients. And after reducing the data, we observed significant differences in larger fields. So utilization of reduced data from patients for analysis is our choice.
