Study on syndrome differentiation based on pharmacology of syndrome management system-a case of Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome

Taking the Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome as an example,the research method of pharmacology of syndrome management system was proposed.By means of text mining,systematic pharmacology and target analysis,to attempt to reveal the essence of the corresponding syndrome by studying the drugs and targets of Qi and Yin deficiency.Fourteen Chinese herbs treating Qi and Yin deficiency were retrieved and used more than 30 times,and 9,317 related targets were predicted.The common targets of action were 85.Topological analysis was carried out by using degree centrality,closeness centrality and betweenness centrality to confirm that estrogen receptor(ESR1),tumor necrosis factor(TNF),D(2)dopamine receptor(DRD2),vitamin D3 receptor(VDR),glucocorticoid receptor(NR3C1),acetylcholinesterase(ACHE)and endothelin-1(EDN1)were highly correlated with Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome.Through the target to find Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome corresponding to 17 categories of diseases.A new idea was provided for studying the biological essence of TCM clinical syndrome differentiation.

Clinical Significance and Changes of ECG in the Patients with Cardiac Deficiency of the Qi and the Yin

In order to explore the changes and clinical significance of ECG in the patients with cardiac deficiency of the Qi and Yin, 124 patients with heart diseases were examined by means of ECG. The results showed that the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy in cardiac deficiency of the Qi (CDQ) was obviously higher than that of cardiac deficiency of the Yin (CDY). The higher prevalence of tachycardia occurred in the patients with CDY.The prevalence of the Q - T interval prolongation and abnormalities of ST - T segment in the patients with CDY was also higher than that of CDQ. The difference between two groups suggests that the diagnosis of two syndromes by ECG may be of important value.

Summary and correlation analysis of TCM syndromes in 159 elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of TCM syndromes in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML)at the onset,and to analyze the main syndrome types and their correlation with age,percentage of bone marrow blasts,and genetic prognostic stratification.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 159 AML patients aged over 60 years who were diagnosed and treated in our hospital,and the clinical data were collected and analyzed statistically.Results:In 159 elderly AML patients,the main clinical symptoms were fatigue,poor appetite,conscious fever,and various hemorrhages.The main syndromes were Ying(42.01%),Wei(31.25%),Essential(14.81%)and Blood(11.69%);the syndromes are divided into Qi and Yin deficiency(32.70%),Qi and blood deficiency(30.19%),true Yin deficiency(28.03%)and Qi heat and blood(8.81%).The age difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.001),and the multiple comparison results showed that the age of the Qi-blood deficiency group was younger than the true-Yin deficiency group and the Qi-Yin deficiency group;the percentage of bone marrow blasts was statistically significant in the three groups at the initial diagnosis(P<0.05),multiple comparison results showed that the percentage of bone marrow blasts in the true Yin deficiency group was higher than that in the Qi-blood deficiency group and the Qi-Yin deficiency group;the genetic prognostic stratification of the three groups was statistically significant(P<0.05),multiple comparisons.The results showed that the genetic prognosis of the true Yin deficiency group was poorer than that of the Qi and blood deficiency group and the Qi and Yin deficiency group.Conclusion:The most common clinical symptoms of elderly AML patients are fatigue,the disease is located in the bone marrow,and the disease is Ying,Wei,essence,and blood.With the increase in the patient's age,the TCM syndrome types tend to be more insufficiency of true Yin and deficiency of both Qi and Yin,and the prognosis of patients with insufficiency of true Yin is poor.It provides a directional scientific basis for the treatment of senile AML with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

Analysis of Constitutional Factors in Patients with Gallstone Disease

Objective: To summarize the common constitutional types in patients with gallstone disease and analyze influencing factors. Research Hypothesis: Qi stagnation constitution may be a potential predisposing constitution for gallstone disease, whereas the Balanced Constitution and Yin deficiency constitution have a lower tendency towards the development of the disease;gallstone disease is more prevalent among young men engaged in mental labor. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 180 patients with gallstone disease who were hospitalized in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), from July 2017 to July 2023. Additionally, 180 healthy individuals undergoing physical examinations at the Health Examination Center of the same hospital were selected as the normal control group. Both groups underwent general condition surveys, TCM constitution scales, Eysenck Personality Questionnaires, Brief Coping Styles Questionnaires, and Social Support Rating Scales to determine risk factors and common types. Results: Independent variables such as gender, Qi stagnation constitution, Balanced Constitution, negative coping scores, positive coping scores, and stressful life events were included in the model. The OR values for Balanced Constitution, gender, positive coping style, and overall social support were all less than 1, and the maximum value of the 95% confidence interval was also less than 1. After selecting the intercept into the model and analyzing the standardized regression coefficients, it was found that negative coping scores had a significant impact on the model, while stressful life events showed extremely high relevance to the study. Compared with the normal group, the frequency of Qi stagnation constitution in the study group significantly increased, with a significant difference (P χ2 = 11.109, P = 0.0009, indicating a significant difference (P χ2 = 4.0890, P = 0.0432, indicating a significant difference (P 0.05). However, when comparing mental workers with physical workers within the patient group, the frequency of Qi stagnation constitution in mental workers was significantly higher, with χ2 = 6.8467, P = 0.012, indicating a significant difference (P Conclusion: Qi stagnation constitution is a potential predisposing constitution for gallstone disease, whereas the tendency to develop the disease is relatively low for Balanced Constitution and Yin deficiency constitution. Gallstone disease is more commonly found in young male mental workers.

Metabonomic phenotype and identification of “heart blood stasis obstruction pattern” and “qi and yin deficiency pattern” of myocardial ischemia rat models

The traditional Chinese medicine concepts of "Xinxueyuzuzheng (heart blood stasis obstruction pattern)" and "Qiyinliangxuzheng (qi and yin deficiency pattern)" for myocardial ischemia rat models were constructed in the present study. Endogenous metabolites in rat plasma were analyzed using the GC/TOF-MS-based metabonomic method. Significant metabolic differences were observed between the control and two model groups, and the three groups were distinguished clearly by pattern recognition. Compared with those of the control, the levels of hydroxyproline, threonic acid, glutamine and citric acid were strikingly up or down-regulated in model rats. The metabolites contributing most to the classification between the two "pattern" rats were identified, such as valine, serine, threonine, ornithine, hydroxyproline, lysine, 2-hydroxybutanoic acid, 3-hydroxybutanoic acid, galactofuranose and inositol. These compounds were indicated as the potential biomarkers. The results suggested that the two "patterns" are involved in dysfunction in oxidative stress, energy metabolism and amino acid metabolism. These findings also provided the substantial foundation for exploring the scientific connotation of these two "Zhengxing (pattern types)" of myocardial ischemia, and "Bianzheng (pattern identification)".
