Characteristics of Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Elements of Advanced Pancreatic Cancer and Regional Distribution Difference between North and South China: Analysis of 256 Cases
To explore the characteristics of the syndrome elements of advanced pancreatic cancer (APC) and its distribution difference in south and north China, and to provide support for the research on the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes of APC as well as the diagnosis and treatment in clinical practice.
Methods
2
The clinical data of 256 APC patients from different regions were retrospectively collected to establish the EpiData database. The patients were divided into south China group and north China group by comprehensive judgment of the geographical location of the hospitals and the permanent residence of the patients, taking the natural geographical boundary of Qinling Moutains-Huaihe River as the division line of the north and the south China. The syndrome elements related to the nature and the location of APC were descriptively analyzed in overall 256 patients and those in the south and north China separately, and the differences of syndromes of APC were compared between different regions.
Results
2
The main syndrome elements related to disease location in 256 APC patients were spleen (681/692, 98.41%), liver (323/692, 46.68%), and stomach (297/692, 42.92%). There were more cases in the south China group than in the north group where diseases were located at the spleen and the stomach, while in the north China group more were located at the liver, gallbladder, kidney and lung (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01). In terms of the disease location at the heart, there was no significant difference between the groups (
P
>0.05). The main syndrome elements of disease nature were
qi
stagnation(639/692, 92.34%),
qi
deficiency(571/692, 82.51%) and dampness(350/692, 50.58%). When comparing the syndrome elements of disease nature between the different regions of China,
qi
stagnation and
qi
deficiency were more frequent in the south China group, while dampness, blood stasis, phlegm, heat,
yang
deficiency and cold were more common in the north China group(
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01). The location-nature binomial association analysis showed that the combination of spleen and
qi
stagnation had the highest support(94.50%, 89.38%) in both the south and the north groups. The association analysis of there variables showed that the combination of spleen plus
qi
deficiency plus
qi
stagnation had the highest support(81.00%, 74.66%)in both the south group and the north group.
Conclusion
2
The core location of APC is at the spleen, and the main sites also include liver and stomach. Spleen and stomach are the main syndrome elements of disease location in the south, while additionally liver, gallbladder, kidney and lung are also involved in the north. The main syndrome elements related to the nature of APC are
qi
stagnation,
qi
deficiency, dampness, blood stasis, phlegm and heat. The syndrome elements in the south are mainly
qi
stagnation and
qi
deficiency; in the north, dampness, blood stasis, phlegm, heat,
yang
deficiency and cold are also involved in addition. Spleen deficiency(
qi
deficiency) and
qi
stagnation are the core pathogenesis of APC.
