Résumé
Objective To explore the distribution characteristics of TCM syndrome and clinical relevant factors of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods Totally 781 cases of BPH patients were collected. Chi-square test, analysis of rank and inspection were used to detect the distribution characteristics of TCM syndrome. The multiple classification logistic regression was used to analyze related factors.Results BPH 14 kinds of distribution of syndromes were statistically significant (P<0.01). One of the highest incidence is qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome (24.97%), and lung heat obstruction is the lowest (1.15%). Composite syndromes (529 cases) were more common than single syndrome (252 cases); syndromes of intermingled deficiency and excess (453 cases) were more common than simple excess (169 cases) or deficiency syndromes (159 cases). BPH single syndrome distribution was different in prostate volume, residual urine volume, maximum urine flow rate, and showed no difference in the serum PSA level. 3 logit model was established successfully. It was found that the patients with the features of 50 to 60 years old, the course < 3 years, I-PSS score for 8 to 19 points showed higher positive incidence of excess syndrome than intermingled deficiency and excess syndromes and deficiency syndrome.Conclusion This study reveals the BPH distribution characteristics and clinical related factors, which has guiding significance to improve TCM clinical level.
Résumé
Objective To study experienced doctors’ treatment of senile dementia based on association rule. Methods Databases, such as CNKI, CSCD, CBMdisc, CPD, and Wanfang Data were searched for articles about senile dementia. SPSS17.0 and Clementine12.0 software were used for frequency and correlation analysis of prescription. Results In total of 67 articles about TCM therapy for senile dementia were included, containing 112 prescriptions, 178 Chinese herbal medicines, 1589 frequency, and 14.2 entries for each prescription. The first three frequently used herbal medicines were Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma, Polygala Radix, and Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. Accoring to association rule, the first three medicine pairs were Citrus Reticulatae Pericarpium→Pinelliae Rhizoma, Dioscoreae Rhizoma→Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, and Codonopsis Radix→Citrus Reticulatae Pericarpium. The first three thriple herbal medicines were Dioscoreae Rhizoma+Lycii Fructus→Corni Fructus, Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma+Corni Fructus→Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, and Carthami Flos + Hirudo→Bupleuri Radix. Conclusion The results based on association rule effectively summarized all the doctors’ treatment experience in senile dementia, and provided the beneficial reference for the clinical treatment of senile dementia.
