Depression Caused By Abnormal Savda Malignant Tumor And Research On Its Pathogenesis In Uyghur Medicine

Objective: To probe into the pathogenesis in Uyghur Medicine of depression caused by abnormal savda malignant tumor. Methods: A total of 700 inpatient patients who were diagnosed as malignant tumor in the Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2015 to December 2015 were given a questionnaire investigation. SDS and HAMD depression scale were used to conduct a diagnosis according to CCMD-3depression diagnostic standard and conduct syndrome classification on abnormal humor according to the classification criterion in Uyghur Medicine. I surveyed and compared the depression occurrence, depression degree, general condition and clinical feature of different patients with abnormal savda. Results: Of the 522 patients with abnormal savda malignant tumor, 489 had depression, accounting for 93.7%. Of the 489 patients with depression caused by abnormal savda malignant tumor, 202 cases of abnormal savda was caused by savda “burning”, accounting for 41.3%. The proportion of patients with moderate to severe depression caused by malignant tumor in the total patients with abnormal savda caused by savda “burning” was higher than others with abnormal savda,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Upon a comparison among the HAMD scores of different patients with abnormal savda syndrome, the patients with abnormal savda caused by savda “burning” had the highest depression degree. The difference was statistically significant(P < 0.001). Conclusion: Abnormal savda is a major syndrome pattern of depression caused by malignant tumors. Different humor“burned” in the patients with depression caused by malignant tumor resulted in different degree of depression. The symptoms of depression and the degree of depression may be related to the source of “burning” humor and degree of “burning”. The patients with abnormal savda caused by savda “burning” had the highest degree of depression.
