Abstract

OBJECTIVE

The study aim was to use existing relevant indexes to establish an index series for the quantitative measurement of Qi deficiency pattern (QDP) in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

METHODS

Seventeen indexes of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), TCM pulse diagnosis, heart rate, and blood pressure were integrated into an index series, and 94 selected subjects were divided into a healthy control group, a mild QDP group, and a typical QDP group. All three groups were then synchronously given a breath-holding (BH) test and index detections using TCM apparatus for auxiliary diagnosis and treatment and a photoplethysmograph. The detections were carried out repeatedly until there was no monotonic change in the value of the minimal SaO2 during a BH measurement (SaO2MIN) or in the duration of BH during a BH measurement (TBH).

RESULTS

BH measurement and index detection data from 380 eligible cases were analyzed and a significant intergroup difference was found for 12 indexes.

CONCLUSION

An index series for quantitative QDP measurement could comprise the 12 effective indexes: RSaO2d (rate of decline of SaO2 during a BH measurement), RSaO2r (recovery rate of SaO2 after a BH measurement), SaO2min, BFV (blood flow velocity), TSaO2d (the time at which SaO2 started declining during a BH measurement), TBH, TSaO2min (the time of occurrence of the minimal SaO2 during a BH measurement), TSaO2max (the time of occurrence of the maximal SaO2 after a BH measurement), PTP (pulse-touching pressure), SBP (systolic blood pressure), PWV (pulse wave velocity), and DBP (diastolic blood pressure). Of the indexes, RSaO2d could play a key role in quantitative QDP measurement; RSaO2r and SaO2min could be used to differentiate the QDP symptom of shortness of breath and as early-warning indexes for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. BFV, TSaO2d, and TBH could be used to quantitatively assess the QDP symptoms of spontaneous perspiration and shortness of breath.

一种评价一般气虚严重程度的创新方法
目的利用已有的相关指标,建立中医气虚证(QDP)定量测量指标系列。方法将动脉血氧饱和度(SaO2)、中医脉诊、心率、血压等17项指标整合为指标系列,将94例患者分为健康对照组、轻度QDP组和典型QDP组。三组同时进行屏气(BH)试验和中医辅助诊疗仪及光容积脉搏波仪指标检测。重复进行检测,直到在黑洞测量期间(SaO2MIN)或在黑洞测量期间(TBH)的BH持续时间内最小SaO2值没有单调变化。结果对380例符合条件的病例的bh测量和指标检测数据进行分析,发现12项指标组间差异显著。结论定量测量QDP的指标系列可包括12个有效指标:RSaO2d (BH测量期间SaO2下降速率)、RSaO2r (BH测量后SaO2恢复速率)、SaO2min、BFV(血流速度)、TSaO2d (BH测量期间SaO2开始下降的时间)、TBH、TSaO2min (BH测量期间SaO2最小值出现的时间)、TSaO2max (BH测量后SaO2最大值出现的时间)、PTP(触脉压)、SBP(收缩压)、PWV(脉搏波速度)、舒张压(DBP)。其中,RSaO2d在QDP定量测量中发挥关键作用;RSaO2r和SaO2min可用于鉴别QDP气短症状,作为慢性阻塞性肺疾病的预警指标。BFV、TSaO2d和TBH可用于定量评价QDP自发性排汗和呼吸短促的症状。
