METHODS: The correlations among acne, clinical syndromes of Northwest dryness syndrome, and Northwest dryness syndrome were evaluated using the syndrome fitness index and canonical correla- tion analysis. RESULTS: The ache group had a Northwest drynesssyndrome rate of 24.13%, and the control group 10.34% (χ2=7.733, P〈0.01). There was no significant difference in the fitness index for acne and for the sub-syndromes of Northwest dryness syndrome (P〉 0.05). The first canonical correlation coefficient was 0.5656 (P〈0.01). The acne-dependent variable group had the largest damp-heat syndrome load (0.8709), and the independent variable had the largest lung-heart-spleen pyretic dryness load (0.6766). CONCLUSION: Northwest dryness syndrome is a risk factor for ache in the Xinjiang region. Exoge- nous dryness and endogenous damp are frequent- ly seen as subsyndromes in Northwest dryness syn- drome in acne patients in the region. Acne was cor- related with the damp-heat and lung-heart-spleen pyretic dryness sub-syndromes of Northwest dry- ness syndrome.展开更多
