ABSTRACT
The modernization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis and treatment technology relies on the development of modern science and technology. Based on the TCM theory of syndrome differentiation and treatment, supported by modern diagnostic technology of TCM, the data-based TCM diagnosis and treatment are informationized and intelligentized with the aid of artificial intelligence technology. Meanwhile, through the research on the diagnosis, treatment, and efficacy evaluation of TCM syndromes and disease, by combining the disease with TCM syndrome on diagnosis-treatment and by exchanging the data of TCM and western medicine, modern diagnostic technology and intelligent diagnosis-treatment system with the characteristics of TCM can be established, which can maximize the advantages of human-computer cooperation. Finally, an intelligent TCM diagnosis and treatment decision-making system with the connotation of syndrome differentiation is established to provide intelligent decision for TCM in clinic and to explore the innovative diagnosis-treatment mode of TCM diseases and syndromes. At the same time, the research of intelligent TCM diagnosis and treatment technology will also promote the rule of TCM diagnosis and treatment, accelerate the leap-forward development of TCM diagnosis and treatment technology, solve the main problems of the modernization of TCM diagnosis and treatment, and promote the modernization of TCM. In this paper, we summarized the current status and trends of the combination of TCM diagnosis and treatment and artificial intelligence technology.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between inflammatory cells, body temperature changes, and TCM syndromes of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) patients in acute and subacute phases. Methods The data of age, gender, body temperature, blood routine, venous ultrasonography, and four diagnostic information of 130 DVT patients in acute and subcute phases were collected and analyzed in a cross-sectional study. The correlation between inflammatory cells and the changes of body temperature and TCM syndromes were analyzed. Results Among 130 DVT patients, 37 patients had damp-heat syndrome, 64 patients had blood stasis and dampness syndrome, and 29 patients had qi stagnation syndrome. Neutrophils increased most obviously in blood stasis and dampness syndrome (P<0.05), which had close correlation with the skin redness (OR=1.287, 95%CI: 9.412-21.247). The mononuclear cells increased most obviously in the damp-heat syndrome, which has close correlation with nouhof (OR=7.364, 95%CI:1.189–45.603), high skin temperature (OR=6.683, 95%CI:1.791–24.938), skin tightness (OR=6.107, 95%CI:1.423–26.203) and weakness (OR=3.302, 95%CI: 1.002–9.169). The temperature rising was the most common in the damp-heat syndrome, and the increase of mononuclear cells was the most common one. Conclusion DVT is often accompanied with elevated levels of inflammatory cells and body temperature. Damp-heat syndrome has close correlation with body temperature and mononuclear cells increasing. Dampness and blood stasis syndrome and neutrophils are closely related.
ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to observe bronchial asthma patients in remission after treatment of traditional Chi-nese medicine(TCM) with four diagnostic information, syndrome differentiation and changes oflung function indicators, in order to explore the efficacy evaluation with TCM characteristics. TCM tongue manifestation instrument, TCM in-quiry scale, pulse-taking instrument, acoustic diagnostic information collection system, and spirometer were used in thecollection of 33 bronchial asthma cases in remission before and after treatment (1~5 months) basedon four diagnos-tic information and lung function indexes. Single-factor analysis of variance and other methods were used in the analysis of four diagnostic parameters and lung function indexes before and after treatment. The results showed that after TCM treatment, there were significant changes on indexes such as facial complexion, tongue sub-region color, color of tongue coating and other parameters. There was significant difference in the acoustic parameters before and after treatment. After TCM treatment, the frequency of lung system symptom such as nasal obstruction was decreased. There was no significant difference on changes of pulse-taking indexes among asthma patients before and after treat-ment. After treatment, the FEV1.0% of asthma patients was increased,whichindicated that asthma ventilatory function had been improved to some extent. It was concluded that TCM objective test provide an effective basis for the diag-nosis of bronchial asthma on aspects such as TCM syndrome, disease change observation and clinical evaluation.
