Study On The Distribution Regularity Of TCM Syndromes In Children With Upper Airway Cough Syndrome

Objective:Explore and summarize the common category and law of the distribution of Traditional Chinese Medicine syndrome in upper airway cough syndrome for children. It is hoped that the study will provide bases to formulate and optimize the scientific dialectical criteria for Traditional Chinese Medicine disease program of the UACS.Methods:According to a retrospective study of literature and in conjunction with the research study of the epidemiological investigations, through literature review and the method of the information correction of inquisition feedback, the table of the syndrome of Traditional Chinese Medicine observation is designed and formed about children with upper airway cough syndrome. The information of four Physical examinations is collected from the120cases of UACS for children, besides the tables are filled up by the investigator. The database is established by using the SPSS17.0statistical package. We sum up the basic syndrome of UACS for children based on systematic cluster analysis, evaluate the contribution of each symptom to the syndrome based on principal component analysis.Results:Collected120cases of children with UACS for clinical research, whicih draw the allergic rhinitis and the adenoid hypertrophy accounted for39.2%,25%respectively,the sinusitis and chronic pharyngitis were23.3%,9.2%. The cough, runny nose, stuffy nose, throat itching are the main symptom of lung system,with nasal itching,cough, and cough is necessary signs and most visible runny nose, accounting for75.8%, stuffy nose, itching of the throat is also common, accounting for42.5%,40.0%, respectively,other visible symptom of pulmonary have sore throat, throat clearing, body checks visible nasal secretions accumulation, pharyngeal mucus adhesion, posterior pharyngeal wall follicular hyperplasia and swelling of tonsils, which accounted for48.3%,32.5%,25.8%,23.3%. Tongue visible pale tongue tender, red tongue, tip tongue red, pink tongue, which accounted for25.8%,25.0%,23.3%,16.7%; tongue fur and visible thin yellow, less moss,thin greasy, moss white slip, accounting for23.3%,20.8%,20.0%and15.8%, respectively; pulse visible floating number, frivolous, thin, moisten the fine, count, respectively, accounting for24.2%,20.8%,18.3%,16.7%,15.8%. Syndrome type distribution:the wind heat invading lung syndrome has38cases, the Qi deficiency in the lung and spleen syndrome has32cases and Yin deficiency in the lung and the heat syndrome has27cases, the wind and phlegm in the lung syndrome has23cases,through cluster analysis and principal component analysis, which obtain the four syndromes in the above are the four basic syndromes,and correspond to the Main disease and secondary disease in different Traditional Chinese Medicine syndrome.Conclusions:The disease have real and imaginary ends, related to the lung, and the nose, throat, and spleen, pathogenic wind, endogenous phlegm development plays a key role in the pathogenesis,4kinds of Traditional Chinese Medicine syndrome type and characteristics of syndrome is roughly in line with the Traditional Chinese Medicine.
