Investigation On Physical Fitness Of Patients With Normal Hashimoto 's Thyroiditis

Purpose:This study intends to exploratory analyze the body constitution of normal thyroid function Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and summarize the distribution of body constitution as well as related factors to provide new ideas and methods for the clinical treatment of the disease.Material and method:From January 2015 to January 2016, a total of 60 patients meeting the normal thyroid function Hashimoto’s thyroiditis diagnostic criteria, inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria were taken from outpatient and inpatient department of affiliated hospital of Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine using(body constitution classification and decision table) to determine TCM body constitution type corresponding to the patient’s answers of one year experience and feelings. By questionnaire designed by specialized TCM practitioner, basic information and body constitution types of the patients were recorded. Finally, the results of the study were processed by statistical methods.Results:1. Among 60 cases of normal thyroid function Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, the oldest age being 71 years and youngest being 20 years old, mean age was(47.88 ± 13. 20) years old, the age distribution of patients from 50 years to 59 years. Male to female ratio was 1: 9.2. Among the 60 cases of normal thyroid function Hashimoto’s thyroiditis patients, most of them were from above junior high school level, undergraduate students being in majority who were involved in mental works. In addition to diet without preference, they were fond of eating sweet and spicy foods and daily mood with irritability appeared in the highest frequency. The course of the disease was mostly within 1 years, and the patients with thyroid nodules and blood lipid disorders were common.3. Among 60 cases of normal thyroid function Hashimoto’s thyroiditis patients, the following body constitutions were most commonly seen. According to nine kinds of constitution frequency statistics, Qi deficiency accounted for 19.42%, Qi stagnation accounted for 17.27%, Yang deficiency 8.63%, phlegm dampness constitution 15.11%, yin deficiency accounted for 8.63%, moderate quality accounted for 7.91%, blood stasis accounted for 7.91%, dampness heat accounted for 5.04%, special constitution, 2.89 percent.According to statistical analysis, the main body constitution were qi stagnation(21.67%), Qi deficiency(20%), Yang deficiency constitution(18.33%), moderate constitution(18.33%),phlegm dampness constitution(10%),yin deficiency(10%)and blood stasis(1.67%)in sequential order. Dampness heat and special constitution were not investigated in this study.4. The correlation study of physical fitness and physical and chemical indexes showed that the abnormal rate of ECG was 11.67% in 60 cases, BMI was normal in 58.3%, the thyroid gland was not enlarged, and each 1 case with 1stdegree and 2nddegree thyroid enlargement.Conclusion:1. The most commonly seen body constitutions in normal thyroid function Hashimoto’s thyroiditis in sequential order were qi deficiency, qi stagnation and yang deficiency.
