ABSTRACT
Objective: To summarize the medication rules of traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) by data mining. Methods: To collect the relevant literatures of TCM treatment of HHcy from CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, CBM from the establishment of the database to December 31, 2019. TCMSS V 2.5 was used to count the frequency of medication, common drug pairs and drug combinations; Association rules, improved mutual information method, complex system entropy cluster analysis were used to analyze drug association rules and core drug combinations; Unsupervised entropy hierarchical clustering was used to analyze the new prescriptions. Results: There were 156 prescriptions with 199 Chinese medicinal herbs and 46 Chinese medicinal herbs of them with functions of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, promoting urination and draining dampness, pacifying liver and extingushing wind and tonic deficiency were used for more than 10 times,. A total of 33 high-frequency drug combinations were obtained through data mining, and the top five combinations were Poria-Gastrodiae Rhizoma, Chuanxiong Rhizoma-Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Chuanxiong Rhizoma-Astragali Radix, Carthami Flos-Chuanxiong Rhizoma and Chuanxiong Rhizoma-Gastrodiae Rhizoma. A total of 20 core drug combinations and 10 potential new prescriptions were obtained through evolution. Conclusion: In the treatment of HHcy in TCM, blood-activating and stasis-resolving medicines, urination-promoting and dampness-draining medicines, liver-pacifying and wind-extingushing medicines and tonic deficiency medicines were mostly used. These prescriptions show that the main methods of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and resolving phlegm and turbidity, as well as supplementing qi and invigorating spleen, promoting urination and draining dampness, removing phlegm and widening chest reflect the characteristics of addressing both the symptoms and root causes of TCM.
ABSTRACT
There are 486 kinds of health food with Puerariae Lobatae Radix as the main raw material, mainly including health food for protecting liver, health food for regulating blood lipid, health food for adjusting blood pressure, health food for regulating blood sugar, and health food for regulating immunity.Based on the establishment of a health food recipe database with Puerariae Lobatae Radix as the main raw material, the Apriori algorithm in association rules was used to explore the formula rule of health food of Puerariae Lobatae Radix.The results showed that among the 174 kinds of hepatoprotective health food, the most used raw materials were Noveniae Fructus and Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus;the common combinations of three raw materials were Puerariae Lobatae Radix-Gardeniae Fructus-Paeoniae Radix Alba, Puerariae Lobatae Radix-Gynostemmatis Pentaphylli Herba-Cassiae Semen, etc.Among the 91 kinds of health food for regulating blood lipid, the most widely used raw materials were Cassiae Semen and Gynostemmatis Pentaphylli Herba;the common combinations of three raw materials were Puerariae Lobatae Radix-Cassiae Semen-Chrysanthemi Flos, Puerariae Lobatae Radix-Alismatis Rhizoma-Mori Folium, etc.Among the 41 kinds of health food for regulating blood pressure, the most widely used raw materials were Eucommiae Cortex and Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma;the common combinations of the three raw materials were Puerariae Lobatae Radix-Cassiae Semen-Ostreae Concha, Puerariae Lobatae Radix-Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma-Sophorae Flos, etc.Among the 105 kinds of health food for regulating blood sugar, the most widely used raw materials were Dioscoreae Rhizoma and Astragali Radix;the common combinations of three raw materials were Puerariae Lobatae Radix-Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma-Lycii Cortex, Puerariae Lobatae Radix-Dioscoreae Rhizoma-Poria, Puerariae Lobatae Radix-Dioscoreae Rhizoma-Lycii Cortex, etc.Among the 75 kinds of health food for regulating immunity, the most widely used raw materials were Astragali Radix and Lycii Fructus;the common combinations of three raw materials were Puerariae Lobatae Radix-Gastrodiae Rhizoma-Eucommiae Cortex, Puerariae Lobatae Radix-Mori Fructus-Lonicerae Japonicae Flos, Puerariae Lobatae Radix-Panacis Quinquefolii Radix-Crataegi Fructus, etc.
ABSTRACT
[Objective] To analyse medication rule for depression,and explore the mechanism and treatment features.[Method] On the basis of dealing 235 formulae with net technical,make analysis on drugs type,use frequency,nature and compatibility.[Result] The drugs can be divided into disease(1)and sign(2)differentiation medications,most drugs of 2 are Qi--and Yang-notifying;the natures are mainly sweet,bitter and warm,belonging to 5 organs.Notifying Qi and Yang,soothing the nerves are the main therapy for depression.[Conclusion] Depression belongs to deficient cold disease,deficient Yang Qi;not being able to rise is the mechanism;notifying Qi and warming Yang is the key basis for it.
