ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the Chinese medicine (CM) syndrome features of ulcerative colitis (UC) by using fluorescence intensity (the ratio of green to red, G/R ratio) of auto fluorescence imaging, thus providing objective evidences for the CM syndrome typing of UC.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Totally 49 patients were recruited. They were typed as Dachang damp-heat syndrome (19 cases), Pi-Wei qi deficiency syndrome (30 cases), and the healthy control group (21 cases) on the bases of mucosal morphology of white light endoscopy (WLE) and the G/R ratio of AFI.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with the healthy control group (1.227 +/- 0.137), the G/R ratio in Dachang damp-heat syndrome (0.915 +/- 0.114) and Pi-Wei qi deficiency syndrome (1.147 +/- 0.137) decreased with statistical difference (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Of them, it was lower in Dachang damp-heat syndrome group (P < 0.01). The case number was mainly dominated in moderate endoscopic index (EI) (11 cases) and severe EI (5 cases) in Dachang damp-heat syndrome group. The case number was mainly dominated in the remission phase (17 cases) and mild EI (7 cases) in Pi-Wei qi deficiency syndrome group. The G/R ratio of the remission phase was higher than that of the active phase (1.220 vs. 0.963, P < 0.01). There was statistical difference in the G/R ratio of the mild EI (1.044), the moderate EI (0.967), and the severe EI (0.830) (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The inflammation degree of Dachang damp-heat syndrome was more severe than that of Pi-Wei qi deficiency syndrome. AFI could better reflect the inflammation degree of UC.</p>
