Abstract:

In this study, Quantum Resonance Spectrometer(QRS), a subtle energy analyzer based on quantum analysis technology,was applied to investigate the physiological and psychological alterations in ten members of the16th Antarctic expedition in Great Wall Station.Hairs were sampled for magnetic analysis before departure(BD),after Antarctic residence for six months(AR) and after Antarctic residence for one year and the next day after return(RE). Indicators(codes) including T 3 , T 4, TSH, Depression,Autism,Into1erance and Pressure were evaluated and expressed as positive or negative QRS scores. The results showed that the QRS scores of all indicators measured during AR substantially declined as compared with baseline(p<0.01),and so were the data for RE (p<0.01). For example,the scores(±S ) for Depression delined to-8.3±0.30(AR) and -7.7±0.36(RE) from 1.10±0.80(BD). Scores for TSH decined to -9.4±0.45(AR) and-8.4±0.40(RE) from -2.2±0.92(BD). Since a negatively shifted QRS score indicates a sign of functional abnormality, the results confirm the reported thyroid alterations and mood disturbance consequent to prolonged Antarctic residence.
