ABSTRACT
Based on clinical research and information-sharing system, this article was aimed to study both the syndrome distribution and Chinese medicine composition of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) in the COPD base of our hospital using the complex networks. The analysis was made on the common rules of syndrome distribution and features of key Chinese medicine compositions in the diagnosis and treatment of AECOPD. The clinical research and information-sharing system was used on the AECOPD data study (3000 hospital electronic medical records from August 2012 to January 2015). Data was processed by ETL software. The database was constructed. And the complex networks were used in the data mining. The results showed that the distribution of AECOPD common syndromes was heat-phlegm obstructing lung of 41.94%, phlegm-turbid obstructing lung of 22.97%, phlegm-damp obstructing lung of 10.30%,qi-yin deficiency of 6.31%, phlegm-stasis obstructing lung of 5.72%, lung-kidneyqi-deficiency of 4.01%, lung-spleenqi-deficiency of 1.15%, and phlegm obstructing orifices of 1.15%. Chinese medicine compositions were obviously divided into two large groups, which were the core Chinese medicine group and the associated Chinese medicine group. The research results illustrated that the clinical research and information-sharing system had good analysis and classification effects, which not only analyzing the medication laws of senior Chinese medicine experts and single disease treatment by a hospital, but also using in the large data analysis (data collection of single or multiple diseases on Chinese medicine clinical research nationally). It provided a good scientific research platform for Chinese medicine.
ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to analyze correlation between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes and symptoms of acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) based on complex network in order to provide a scientific basis for TCM syndrome amendments of diagnostic criteria, and explore relevant technologies to promote its application. By way of the current Clinical Research Information Sharing System, data and data pro-cessing were carried out (EHR 3000 between August 2011 and January 2013) into the database by ETL software. The MISCR (correlation between common symptoms and common syndromes) from both common symptoms and com-mon syndromes of AECOPD was analyzed with existing diagnosis standards of AECOPD. The comparative analysis on TCM syndromes such as heat phlegm obstructing the lung, lung and kidney qi deficiency, phlegm turbid obstructing the lung and their correspondent existing diagnosis standards of AECOPD showed that the common TCM syndromes in the clinic are the mixture of deficiency and excess syndromes. However, some individual symptom is contradicted to its correspondent syndrome. It was concluded that based on the Clinical Research Information Sharing System, the research on correlation analysis between syndromes and symptoms of AECOPD can provide strong evidence and methodology for the validation and revision of TCM diagnostic criteria.
ABSTRACT
Based on the Clinical Medical Research Information Sharing System ( CMRISS ) , this article took thedisease-syndrome-herb study on acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) as a model to explore the establishment of disease-syndrome-herb study method on many types of diseases for the guidance of Chinese medicine clinical practice. The CMRISS of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which contained 5000 format electronic medical records from August 2011 to March 2013 , was used as the database . Data preprocessing , crystal reports and complex network were used in data mining to receive the frequency relation of AECOPD disease-syndrome-herb in order to analyze medica-tion features of different Chinese medicine clinical syndromes of AECOPD . The results showed that three syn-dromes, which were phlegm-heat obstructing the lungs, phlegm-stasis obstructing the lungs, and qi-yin deficien-cy, have corresponding Chinese herbs of licorice, orange peel and earthworm. The treatment of syndrome of phlegm-heat obstructing the lungs contains herbs to clear heat, remove phlegm and activate blood circulation. The treatment of syndrome of qi-yin deficiency contains herbs to benefitqi , nourish yin as well as to activate blood circulation and remove phlegm. It was concluded that the application of CMRISS is able to process a large amount of clinical data. The data mining results can be used to guide clinical practice. It provided a better plat-form for the scientific research of Chinese medicine clinical practice .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of water soluble extracts of some traditional Chinese herbs on hair growth of pig hair follicle in vitro. Methods Pig hair follicles were cultured with Williams E medium (control group) or Williams E medium with water soluble extracts of Chinese herbs (experimental group). Hair growth and morphological changes in the hair follicle bulb were observed by microscope, and apoptosis of the pig hair follicle cells was detected by a TUNEL technique. Results On day 7 of culture, the hair growth in the control group was slower than that in the experimental group (P
