retrospective analysis and research were conducted on220 outpatient medical records and prescription Chinese medicines of Professor Lin Shouning from October 2019 to October 2020 for the treatment of 190 patients with functional constipation.Enter the patient’s general information,four-diagnosis information,TCM syndromes,and TCM drug names into the Excel table,and process the entered data,upload the processed data to the TCM inheritance calculation platform(V3.0)system,and enter The frequency statistics and basic drug information(four qi,five flavors,meridian)statistics of the traditional Chinese medicines used in 220 prescriptions;secondly,the number of support is set to 60%,the confidence is set to 0.9,and the group Analysis of prescription rules(drug mode,association rules);finally,the number of cluster analysis is set to 3,trying to dig out the hidden common combinations for the treatment of functional constipation,and form a new treatment method for the treatment of functional constipation.Finally,Professor Lin Shouning’s medication rules for the treatment of functional constipation are summarized.Results:(1)A total of 220 outpatient prescriptions

used drug modes,involving 7 core drugs,21 pairs of2 commonly used drug combinations,and 33 pairs of 3 commonly used drug combinations.Obtained 24 pairs of 4 commonly used drug combinations and 7 pairs of 5 commonly used drug combinations.Based on the 85 commonly used drug models,the prescription medication rules were studied,and finally 197 drug association rules with a confidence level of 0.90 or more were obtained.,There are 20 drug association rules with a confidence of 0.99.(6)Through the cluster analysis of the input 220 prescriptions,it is concluded that Professor Lin Shouning has 3 core combinations for the treatment of functional constipation and 3 potential drug combinations for the treatment of functional constipation.Conclusion(s): Professor Lin Shouning’s treatment of functional
