Objective: During glucocorticosteroid treatment, we observed the cardinal symptom of 196 patients with adult primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS), then type of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome was analyzed and the evolution rule of Chinese medicine syndrome was elucidated. Methods: Formulating unified syndrome observation table, then clinicians recorded the symptom, the objective sign, picture of the tongue and the pulse condition of the patients accurately and truthfully in the clinical observation table according to the experimental request, but type of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome was not decided. After the experiments, the person in charge of the experiment determined the type of syndrome according to the unified dialectical standard, and probed into the object law of the evolution of the syndrome of traditional Chinese medicine after PNS glucocorticosteroid treatment. Result: The type of the syndrome was mostly Qi deficiency and yang deficiency of spleen and kidney before glucocorticosteroid treatment. After the treatment of 1-4 weeks, it was mostly Qi deficiency of spleen and kidney, deficiency of Qi and Yin. After the treatment of 5-8 weeks, it was mostly Yin deficiency of liver and kidney, deficiency of Qi and Yin . In hormone decrement stage, the deficiency of Qi and Yin was mostly pattern. In hormone stage of keeping, it was mostly deficiency of Ying and Yang. As for demonstration, the accompanying symptoms were mostly retention of water and turbid damp before using the hormone. After the treatment of 1-4 weeks, the accompanying symptoms were mostly retention of water, turbid damp and blood stasis. Miscellaneous accompanying symptoms were very conspicuous after the treatment of 5-8 weeks. In hormone decrement stage, it was mostly turbid damp, blood stasis, humid heat and pathogenic factor of wind. In hormone stage of... |
