Study On The Characteristic Of Syndrome Element About Phlegm-dampness Syndrome Sufferers In Fuzhou Area Among Different Factors

Objective:To explore the feature of syndrome element about phlegm-dampness sy ndrome in Fuzhou among different factors, and to sort out the theory about phlegm-d ampness, so as to provide reference for the TCM diagnosis and treatment.Methods:Adopting syndrome elements differentiation to study the feature of synd romes elements about1,000phlegm-dampness syndrome sufferers in Fuzhou among di fferent factors.Results:1. The overall distribution of disease-location:The main locations are spleen, sto mach, followed by the liver, gallbladder.2. The overall miscellaneous nature of disease:Qi stagnation and heat are the ma in syndrome elements in excess syndrome, while Qi deficiency and Yang deficiency a re main in deficiency syndrome.3. Syndrome elements and gender relations:Compar to male, female’s Qi stagnati on and blood stasis are more serious(the contrast of Qi stagnation:P<0.01, the contra st of blood stasis:P<0.05), and female have more disease-location of liver(P<0.01), w hile male’s heat is more serious than female(P<0.01).4. Syndrome elements and course of disease relations:Qi deficiency and blood st asis in group C(course of disease more than three months)are serious than group A(co urse of disease less than halfmoon)and group B(course of disease from halfmoon to t hree months)(the Qi deficiency and blood stasis contrast between group A and group C: P<0.01, the Qi deficiency contrast between group B and group C:P<0.05, the blood stasis contrast between group B and group C:P<0.01), Yang deficiency in group C i s more serious than group A(P<0.05). The distribution of exterior syndrome is mainly in group A, the location of muscle and joint is mainly in group C. Group A have more disease-location of exterior than group B and C(P<0.01). The goup C have mor e disease-location of meridian than goup A and B(P<0.01). The goup B have more di sease-location of colorectal than group A and C(P<0.01), The goup A have more dise ase-location of colorectal than group C(P<0.01) 5. Syndrome elements and age relations:Compar to the youth and aged people, t he middle-aged have the higher phlegm credits, and their Qi stagnation is more appar ent(P<0.01). The Qi deficiency in aged people is more serious than the youth(P<0.05).6. The disease character of main disease-location in four seasons:In spring the m ain location is exterior and it is most likely to mix exogenous wind and cold. In su mmer the main location is spleen and it is most likely to mix Qi stagnation and heat. In autumn the main location is lungs and it is most likely to mix exogenous wind a nd heat. In winter the main location is lungs too while it is most likely to mix cold and exogenous wind. The different main disease-location with different mixture of syn drome elements in four seasons, so that they have different syndrome manifestations.Conclusion:1. The incidence of phlegm-dampness is mostly related to the dysfunction of sple en and stomach, and it is also closely associated with the regulation the activity of Q i which is tacken change by liver and gallbladder.2. phlegm-dampness can easily affe ct the function of Qi in human body, the excess syndrome is most likely to mix Qi stagnation and can easily turn to heat, while the deficiency syndromes are mainly Qi deficiency and Yang deficiency.3. Qi stagnation and blood stasis in female phlegm-da mpness patient are more obvious than male which is due to that the female physiolog ical and pathological characteristics have close relationship with liver. heat in male ph legm-dampness patient is more serious than female is considerd to be related with the ir tobacco and alcohol habits.4. Qi deficiency, blood stasis and Yang deficiency are more obvious in phlegm-dampness patient who have long course of disease, which is related to that the phlegm-dampness can easily affect the function of Qi.5. The phle gm-dampness patient who are in middle-aged have the characteristics that more seriou s in Qi stagnation and phlegm credits, which is due to their special physical and men tal conditions of the ages.6. The phlegm-dampness syndrome in Fuzhou area has diff erent main disease-location and different mixture of syndrome elements in four season s, so that they have different syndrome manifestations.According to the clinical characteristics of phlegm-dampness syndrome, the treatm ent should mainly be regulating spleen and stomach, and should taking into account t he activity of Qi which is tacken change by liver and gallbladder, and the treatment should also be different on base of the different gender, age, disease duration and sea son.
