To Investigate The Correlation Between Early-Stage Osteonecrosis Of Femoral Head And Meridians Based On Meridians Detector

Objective Based on the theory of meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine,the meridian detection system was used to detect the meridian status of patients with early-stage non-traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head(NONFH)and analyse the statistical differences between them and healthy physical participants,as well as to analyse the distribution characteristics of specific meridians in patients with early-stage NONFH under different factors such as gender,age and etiologies,and to explore the correlation between early-stage NONFH and meridians,with a view to provide reference and theoretical data for the prevention and targeted treatment of early-stage NONFH.METHODS In this study,88 patients with early-stage NONFH(observation group)attending the Department of Joint Orthopedics of the Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine between Oct2021 and Feb 2023 were retrospectively analyzed and basic information such as age,gender and medical etiologies were recorded,and meridian detection was performed using the Chinese Medicine Meridian Detection System(model:SHXK-JL-200 F B)for meridian detection,and the autonomic nerve index,yin/yang index,up/down index,left/right index,conduction coefficient and meridian sensing data of the physical participants were entered into an Excel sheet to establish a database,and the meridian information of 88 healthy physical participants(control group)of the same period was randomly collected in the same way for comparison.The data were processed using SPSS25.0 statistical software,and the differences in meridian sensing between patients with early-stage NONFH and healthy physical participants,as well as the distribution of meridian detection data in different gender,age and etiologies,were analysed to summarise the distribution characteristics of meridian detection in patients with early-stage NONFH.Results1 Comparison of data between the observation group and the control group1.1 By statistical analysis,the basic information(gender and age)of the observation group and the control group were not statistically significant(P>0.05).1.2 In the observation group,compared with the control group,the autonomic index、the left/right index and the conduction coefficient were significantly higher and statistically significant(P<0.05);the yin/yang index was lower and statistically significant(P<0.05);the upper/lower index was not significant and not statistically significant(P>0.05).1.3 Statistical differences existed between the observation group and the control group in the left Spleen Meridian,right Kidney Meridian,bilateral Bile Meridians and bilateral Liver Meridians(P<0.05).2 Comparison between subsidiary groups in the observation group2.1 Patients with early-stage NONFH by gender were statistically different in the bilateral Large Intestine Meridian,the left Small Intestine Meridian,the right Kidney Meridian and the left Liver Meridian(P<0.05).2.2 Patients with early-stage NONFH by age were statistically different in the left Large Intestine Meridian,the right Stomach Meridian,the bilateral Triple Energizer Meridian,the right Bile Meridian and the right Liver Meridian(P<0.05).2.3 Patients with early-stage NONFH of different etiologies were statistically different in the bilateral Spleen Meridians and bilateral Liver Meridians(P<0.05).Conclusion Patients with early-stage NONFH have meridian imbalance.Early-stage NONFH correlates with the Spleen Meridians,Kidney Meridians,Bile Meridians and Liver Meridians.There are some differences between the balance of meridian sensing in patients with early-stage NONFH in different gender,age and etiologies.Chinese meridian detection can provide a basis for " Preventive Treatment of Disease" in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
