New Research Ideas on Biomarkers of Syndrome of Phlegm-heat Obstructing the Lung in Children with Adenovirus Pneumonia / 世界科学技术-中医药现代化

ABSTRACT

Study on the scientific essence of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome is the key in TCM modernization. This paper showed new research ideas for TCM syndrome, which was based on the pediatric adenovirus pneumonia and its TCM treatment, metabonomics and its application in TCM syndrome research, in order to discuss its application value in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric viral pneumonia. This method was mainly implemented through the metabonomics technology, which reflected TCM holism concept. The syndrome of phlegm-heat obstructing the lung, which was the most frequent syndrome in the pediatric viral pneumonia, was studied. Through the comparison with metabolites of healthy children, the biomarkers of syndrome of phlegm-heat obstructing the lung in pediatric viral pneumonia were identified.
