ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the TCM syndrome and treatment rule for the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis based on data mining;To provide reference for its clinical treatment.Methods With the help of the big data platform of evidence-based literature of TCM covering several dominant diseases in the field of digestion,literature on the experience of famous doctors,theoretical discussion and case reports in the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis published from 1 January 2000 to 31 July 2022 was retrieved.Medical records were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.The data of TCM disease names,clinical symptoms,tongue manifestation,pulse manifestation,TCM syndrome,TCM treatment method and other terms in medical records were standardized and statistically analyzed.Results Totally 169 articles were included,including 228 medical cases,involving 228 patients,with a cumulative number of 361 visits,with an average age of(53.17±11.11)years old,with the largest number of 50-60 years old.Chronic atrophic gastritis mostly belonged to the categories of"stomach pain"and"epigastric puffiness"in TCM,and its main symptoms were stomach pain,epigastric puffiness and belching.The common tongue manifestation include dark red tongue,white moss,thin or greasy moss.The common pulse manifestation included wiry slippery pulse,wiry thready pulse and wiry pulse.The high-frequency syndromes included liver-stomach qi stagnation syndrome,spleen-stomach dampness-heat syndrome,liver-qi stagnation and spleen-qi deficiency syndrome.The disease locations were mainly in the stomach,spleen and liver,and the syndrome elements were mainly qi deficiency,qi stagnation,blood stasis,dampness and heat,etc.The complex syndrome elements were more than the single syndrome elements,and the two syndrome elements of qi deficiency + qi stagnation was the most common.The most commonly used treatment methods were supplementing,regulating qi and regulating blood.Conclusion The treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis with TCM mostly focuses on the stomach,spleen and liver.The core syndrome elements are qi deficiency,qi stagnation,and blood stasis.The methods of nourishing qi and strengthening the spleen,soothing the liver and stomach,regulating qi and blood are often used.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the joint contact force, ligament tensile force and force transmission mode of foot internal structure in Down’s syndrome child (DSC) during standing. Methods The finite element models of foot were constructed based on CT image data from one DSC and one typically developing child (TDC). The models were validated by plantar pressure measurement during static standing. To simulate foot force during standing, the ground reaction force and the triceps surae force were applied as the loading condition. Contact pressure of the tibiotalar, talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints, tensile force of the spring and plantar calcaneocuboid ligaments, and force transmission mode in transverse tarsal joints were calculated and analyzed. Results The finite element models of foot were validated to be reliable. Compared with the TDC, the DSC showed higher contact pressure at the tibiotalar joint and lower contact pressure at the talonavicular joint. The tensile force of spring and plantar calcaneocuboid ligaments of DSC was 10 times and 58 times of TDC, respectively. The forces transmitted through both mediate and lateral columns in DSC were lower than those in TDC. Conclusions Abnormal contact pressure of the tibiotalar joint, larger tensile force of midfoot ligaments and smaller force of the transverse tarsal joint were found in DSC during standing. The abnormal alteration of stress patterns in foot internal structure of DSC should be fully considered in clinical rehabilitation, so as to provide theoretical references for screening and making intervention plans for early rehabilitation, as well as designing individualized orthopedic insoles.
ABSTRACT
Powder is a powdery medicine dispensed in the form of a pulverized medicine from one or multiple Chinese herbal medicines, which has been recorded in theHuang Di Nei Jing (Huangdi’s Canon of Medicine),the earliest Chinese medical classic. TCM powder is widely used in various subjects by clinical TCM practitioners, especially in digestive system diseases. This article overviewed the clinical researches on the application of TCM powder in digestive system diseases, which could provide comprehensive references for further studies of TCM powder in the treatment of digestive system diseases and perfect its application in clinical studies.
