ABSTRACT
The study on syndrome of TCM is a key topic on basic research of TCM. Among the whole system of TCM, the syndrome of TCM is in the core position. It is the bridge which connecting the clinic with the basic theories. This paper has carried on the discussion from the study of syndrome standardization and essence of syndromes. We reviewed and analyzed the present situation of syndrome, and explored the development and tendency of the research on syndrome. The following suggestions have been put forward:extracting the syndrome elements is the precondition and the comparison of diseases and their relevant syndromes is the main idea to establish the standardization of criterion of syndromes in clinical diagnosis. studying the essence of syndrome on the basis of system biology by methods of proteomics and metabolism to explore the scientifi c connotation of TCM syndrome.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To establish the quantified standard of spleen-stomach damp-heat syndrome(SSDHS) in chronic superficial gastritis(CSG).【Methods】Based on the epidemiological survey,the factors related to SSDHS and non-SSDHS were quantified and scored,and then the quantified standard was set up and used for the degree grading of SSDHS.【Results】The diagnostic threshold value of SSDHS in chronic superficial gastritis was 49 points.The results of retrospective examination showed that the sensitivity,specificity,accuracy and likelihood ratio of qualified SSDHS standard are 90.91%,90.57%,90.72% and 9.64 respectively.The graded criteria of SSDHS were as follows:49～57 points for the mild syndrome,58～65 points for the moderate syndrome,and over 65 points for the severe syndrome.【Conclusion】It is indicated that the qualified SSDHS standard in chronic superficial gastritis is practical for its preciseness and rationality,and is worth of further study.
