Abstract
Objective: To explore the rules of pattern type and treatment of bronchial asthma (asthma) treated with Chinese materia medica (CMM) in modern medical records through the “Traditional Chinese Medicine Inheritance Support System (V2.5)”, to provide data reference and ideas for the clinical use of CMM in the treatment of asthma. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to search the literature on CMM treatment of asthma in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, and VIP database from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2021. The asthma medical records that met the inclusion criteria were standardized and collated into Word documents to create an asthma medical record database, then entered into the TCMISS. Clustering, frequency, and association rules were used to analyze the rules of pattern type and treatment, and to explore potential new formulas for asthma treatment. Results: A total of 124 articles were included, 147 medical records were collected, and a total of 220 CMMs were used. The main pattern types were lung-kidney vacuity, heat wheezing, phlegm-heat lying depressed in the lung, and cold wheezing. The main treatment methods were transforming phlegm and calm panting, dispelling wind and transforming phlegm, depressing Qi and relieving asthma, and clearing heat and transforming phlegm. The high frequency for the treatment of asthma is mainly for the cough-suppressing panting-calming category, including Radix Glycyrrhizae (RG), Herba Ephedrae (HE), Semen Armeniacae (SA), Rhizoma Pinelliae (RP), etc. The four natures of drugs are mainly warm and cold, the five flavors of drugs are mainly acrid, bitter, and sweet, and the channel tropism of drugs is mainly the lung channel, spleen channel, and stomach channel. The core medicine pairs for the treatment of asthma were mainly HE-RG, SA-HE, RG-SA, and RP-HE, and 15 new formulas were found through cluster analysis. Conclusion: CMM treats asthma should adopt mainly panting-calming medicinal while using warm properties medicines simultaneously. The treatment is based on the lung and spleen.
