Study On TCM Syndrome Of Ankylosing Spondylitis

ObjectiveTo study the distribution of Professor Jiao Shude about ankylosing spondylitis TCM syndrome classification in clinical. To study the association of laboratory examination such as the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell count (WBC), immunoglobulin (IgG, IgM, IgA), anti streptolysin O (ASO), complement (C3, C4)with 4 TCM syndromes of ankylosing spondyhtis(AS).Material and MethodsThis study Collected 191 patients who diagnosed with AS.With the retrospective study method,designed a questionnaire.Then conducted syndrome differentiation according to the patient’s symptoms, tongue, pulse etc. By analysis of variance, mltiple comparison method,to analysed the relationship between TCM syndromes and the laboratory data.Using descriptive statistical method to analyse AS patients’ TCM syndrome distribution in clinic.ResultsThe pencents of four TCM syndromes in order as follow:shenxuduhan syndrome65.45%(125 /191),bizuzhijie syndrome 13.09%(25/191), xieyuhuare syndrome 12.57%(24/191), xiejiganfei syndrome8.90%(17/191). CRP and ESR between groups comparison results in the same, CRP and ESR in xiejiganfei syndrome is minimal,but in xieyuhuare syndrome is maximum. Among the groups C3, C4 comparison results in the same, xieyuhuare syndrome compare with other syndromes p<0.05, the difference was statistically significant.ConculsionTCM syndrome types of AS with shenxuduhan syndrome the most common, xiejiganfei syndrome at least.The inflammatory markers of xieyuhuare syndrome and xiejiganfei syndrome are the highest, It can provide a basis for the clinical syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese Medicine.
