中文摘要：

目的：厚形舌与某些病证关系密切，为引发人们在舌诊临床与实验中关注报告此文。方法：对213例患者（中医证型7个相关疾病9个）进行舌诊研究，选择《舌诊学》所提出的30余种舌形中的厚形舌，结合临床进行系统观察。分别采用超声（148例）及舌纸尺法（65例）测定。结果：经对213例患者与200例相关疾病对照组（中医证型10个相关疾病7个）观察，发现厚形舌的出现与人体患有病症时的某些证型及疾病关系密切，某些疾病足以造成上腔静脉淤血，舌淋巴回流受阻、舌血液动力增加，而超过其回流速度及舌肌或舌神经运动感觉障碍所造成舌组织内血液瘀积，组织水肿以及舌局部渗出性炎性改变时，即可致舌体增大，出现舌厚度增加的结果。结论：本研究采用的方法和所取的数据，对今后开展舌形研究有重要参考作用。

英文摘要：

Objective： Methods： To observe 213 cases of thick tongues in shape systematically by 30 thick tongues proposed in the Tongue Diagnostics and clinical observation. Results： After contrasting 213 patients with 200 cases of correlative disease, it has found that thick tongue is closely related to some syndromes and disases, thus revealed that some diseases will cause blood stasis of superior vena cava, suffocating of the tongue lymph return-flow, increased power of the blood in the tongue tissue. Blood stasis in the tongue tissue, tissue edema and local exuded inflammatory pathological change in the tongue induced by the motion and sensory disturbance of the tongue muscle and nerve will lead to increased size and thickness of the tongue. Conclusion： The methods and data adopted in this paper provide significant reference in future study of tongue shape.
