Research On The Significance Of Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndromes Of Arteriosclerosis Obliterans In TASC â…¡ Type

Object: Research on the correlation between classification of TASCII and traditional Chinese medicine syndromes of arteriosclerosis obliterans. Methods: Collect 80 cases of arteriosclerosis obliterans in Shandong Traditional Medicine Hospital and Jinan Center Hospital from August 2010 to March 2011,include 40 cases of blood stasis syndrome and 40 cases of downward flow of clamp-heat syndrome. Observe arterial lesions of patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans of lower limbs apply modern imaging techniques. Accord- ing to TASCII classification standard to judge their respective iliac and femoral artery type. Analyse the correlation between the classification of TASCII and traditional Chinese medicine syndromes of arteriosclerosis obliterans by statistic methods. Results: TASCII of blood stasis and downward flow of damp-heat syndrome of aortoiliac was no significant difference(P>0.05), but there is significant difference by femoral-popliteal artery type (P < 0.01). Among patients with blood stasis, TASCII overall level of aortoiliac is different between constituent ration(P<0.01). There is different statistical significance in A and B, A and C(P<0.05,P<0.01), but no different statistical significance in B and C(P>0.05). Amon- g patients with downward flow of clamp-heat syndrome, TASCII overall level of aortoiliac is different between constituent ration(P<0.01). There is different statistical significance in A and B, A and C, A and D(P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.01), but no different statistical significan- ce in B and C, B and D, C and D(P>0.05). Among patients with blood stasis, TASCII over- all level of femoral-popliteal is different between constituent ration(P<0.01). There is diffe rent statistical significance in A and D, A and C, B and C, B and D(P<0.01,P<0.01,P<0.05,P<0.01), but no different statistical significance in A and B, C and D(P>0.05). Among patients with downward flow of clamp-heat syndrome, TASCII overall level of femoral –popliteal is different between constituent ration(P<0.01). There is different statistical sig- nificance in A and B, A and C, B and D, C and D(P<0.05,P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.01), but no different statistical significance in B and C, A and D(P>0.05). Conclusion: The aortoiliac and femoral-popliteal artery of patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans occur lesions at the same time usually in blood stasis syndrome and downward flow of damp-heat syndrome. The blood stasis patients' arteries disease with TASCII type A of aortoiliac artery and type A and B of femoral-popliteal artery. The downward flow of damp-heat patients' arteries disease with TASCII type A of aortoiliac artery and type B and C of femoral-popliteal artery. The arterious lesions of downward flow of damp-heat patients are worse than blood stasis patients.
