Objective To explore the correlation between the TCM syndromes of mammary hyperplasia patients and their sex hormones

molybdenum target radiography image to establish the objective indexes for its syndrome differentiation.Methods According to the TCM syndrome differentiation

the 346 patients with mammary hyperplasia were diagnosed liver qi stagnation syndrome

phlegm and blood-stasis syndrome

and chong and ren dysfunction syndrome.Their pituitary gonad stimulating hormones

including estradiol（E2）

progesterone（PP）

testosterone（PT）

prolactin releasing hormone（PRL）

follicle-stimulating hormone（FSH）

and luteotropic hormone（LH） were measured during ovulatory period.At the same time

the molybdenum target radiography examination was given.Results The level of FSH

LH and E2 in mammary hyperplasia patients during ovulatory period was obviously lower

the level of PRL and PP was obviously higher

and the level of PT was not obviously changed.The comparison among groups showed that the level of FSH in chong and ren dysfunction patients was higher than that in liver qi stagnation patients

but the level of LH of the two was just opposite;the level of E2 was lower in an order of liver qi stagnation

phlegm and blood-stasis

and chong and ren dysfunction patients;the molybdenum target radiography image showed that there was mainly the lobular hyperplasia in liver qi stagnation and phlegm and blood-stasis patients and then the nodular type;but there was mainly nodular hyperplasia in chong and ren dysfunction patients and then the lobular type.Conclusion The pituitary gonad stimulating hormones of mammary hyperplasia patients were disordered in the duration of ovulatory period.The level of sex hormones and change of molybdenum target radiography image were different in different TCM syndromes and they can be used as one of the objective indices in TCM syndrome differentiation for diagnosis.
