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.

刘树民教授治疗气阴两虚型甲状腺功能亢进症临床经验

甲状腺功能亢进症(简称甲亢)是一种临床常见病、多发病。现代医学治疗甲亢的方案主要是口服甲巯咪唑片、放射性碘治疗和手术治疗,上述3种方法不良反应较多,后期容易出现甲状腺功能减退。刘树民教授从事内科杂病治疗30余年,擅长运用中医辨证思维治疗各种疑难杂症。他认为,甲亢的病因隐匿且复杂,其基本病机为本虚标实。本虚以气阴两虚为主;标实以肝郁气滞较为常见。研究从病因病机、临床特征、治疗等方面系统分析、总结了刘树民教授运用芪玄抑甲宁为基础方治疗甲亢气阴两虚证的临证经验。建议在辨证治疗时注意以下5个要点:第一,注重疏理肝之郁气。肝气郁结是标实的主要外在表现,理气调肝为其治疗大法。第二,注重肝与心对调节情志的协同之功。肝藏血与心主血、肝藏魂与心藏神乃调节情绪、情志,维持精神、思维愉悦的关键,临证时应肝、心同调,以求情志畅达。第三,注重肝与肾的子母生化关系。肾、肝为母子之脏,肾水涵木,肾阴可滋生肝阴,以制约肝阳。第四,注重肝与脾的关系。肝和脾属五行相克,但相克太过即出现肝木乘脾土的情况,应注重肝脾之生克以求木土之平衡。第五,注意饮食。避免进食辛辣之品以防耗伤阴津及削弱中药滋阴之效。
