A preliminary clinical analysis on pathogenes and pathogenesis of acute cerebral infarction / 国际中医中药杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore pathogenes and pathogenesis of acute cerebral infarction (ACI) from the perspective of integrated traditional and western medicine.Methods To categorize the tongue and pulse manifestation of 64 ACI patients and calculate their frequency,constituent ratios.Meanwhile,patients' blood pressure and laboratory examination results are given descriptive and statistical analysis,showing their means and standard deviations,etc.Results The frequency of dark-red tongue,thin-greasy tongue fur,greasy-yellow tongue fur and taut-slippery is respectively 48,34,20,and 41,constituting 77.4％,54.8％,32.3％,64.1％ of the patients examined respectively; Mean and standard deviation of systolic blood pressure (SBP),total cholesterol (TC),white blood cell (WBC),neutrophil percentage (NEUT％),fasting plasma glucose (FPG),and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is respectively (141.20± 19.20)mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa)、(4.47±0.97) mmol/L、(7.83±2.63) × 109/L、(71.61±9.65)％、(6.16±2.25)mmol/L、and (6.60±1.66)％.Conclusion In terms of pathogens,wind,stasis,heat (fire) and turbid pathogen (phlegm,dampness,etc.) are important factors in bringing out ACI; In respect of ACI pathogenesis characteristics,healthy qi is slightly damaged and pathogenic qi is exuberant.Yet,the role of modern medical examination results,such as blood pressure,blood glucose,blood lipids etc.in the assessment of ACI pathogens and pathogenesis awaits further exploration.
