The Study On The Characteristics Of TCM Constitution In The Patients With Carotid Atherosclerosis

ObjectiveThrough the analysis of distribution characteristics of TCM Constitution in patients with carotid atherosclerosis and the correlation between age, body mass index, blood pressure, cholesterol, uric acid levels and the TCM constitution., This paper explore the characteristics of TCM constitution,, so as to provide evidence for improving the pathological constitution of patients and the intervention of carotid atherosclerosis with Chinese medicine.Methods501cases of patients with carotid atherosclerosis were selected to identify their TCM constitution, using the classification standard which was divided into nine kinds of constitution types by professor WangQi. To collect the patient’s general information, body mass index, blood pressure, blood lipid, uric acid, Then analyzed the data collected above and the relationship with the common constitution type, and analysis the correlation between TCM Constitution and the risk factors in patients with atherosclerosis.Results1.There’re35kinds of constitution of501patients with carotid atherosclerosis,including215cases of single constitution,249cases of two kinds of constitution,37cases of three kinds of constitution. There’re68cases (14%) of Qi deficiency combined phlegm dampness constitution,55cases (11%) of Yang deficiency constitution,57cases (11%) Qi deficiency combined blood stasis constitution,49cases (10%)of Qi deficiency.2. Gender and age composition is statistically significant (P<0.01), in patients with Carotid atherosclerosis between common constitution, and there is statistical difference (P<0.01) of body mass index between common constitution.3. No significant correlation between common constitution and blood pressure, blood glucose levels of patients with atherosclerosis (P>0.05).4. Blood lipid in patients with carotid artery atherosclerosis anomaly are mixed, dyslipidemia clinical classification of patient with Common constitution have statistical difference (P<0.05). Phlegm dampness blood fat levels are higher, than non phlegm dampness5.70.5%patients with carotid atherosclerosis who belong to phlegm dampness are suffering from hyperuricemia, and there is statistically difference compared with the other constitution.6.Binary Logistic regression analysis between four single constitutions and risk factors show that Women and normal weight patients tend to form Yang deficiency constitution, male patients with weight gain, the more likely the formation of phlegm constitution, older women patients tend to form blood stasis constitution.Conclusion1. People who are Qi deficiency, Yang deficiency, phlegm dampness and blood stasis, are susceptible to carotid atherosclerosis patients.2.The main types of TCM constitution in patients with carotid atherosclerosis is2. The main types of TCM constitution in male patients with carotid atherosclerosis is Qi deficiency, phlegm dampness, and female patients is Yang deficiency,blood stasis.With the increase of age,physical f TCM constitution tends to Complexity.3. Patients with carotid atherosclerosis in shape is given priority to with overweight and obesity, Chen wet mass and and physical patients with BMI level of phlegmy wet and combined phlegmy wet is higher, than other constitutions.4.No obvious correlation between blood pressure, blood glucose levels in patients carotid atherosclerosis.5. Dyslipidemia in patients with carotid artery atherosclerosis anomaly are mixed, there is a close relationship between the blood lipid level and phlegm dampness.6. patients with Carotid atherosclerosis that belong to phlegm dampness constitution more easily suffer from hyperuricemia than other patients.
