    Journal: Zhongguo Zhong Xi Yi Jie He Za Zhi; 2005 Nov; 25(11):975-9. PubMed ID: 16355610.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To consummate the standard of macroscopic syndrome differentiation for diagnosis of dampness syndrome in patients with chronic gastritis (CG), based on the essentials of syndrome differentiation in TCM diagnostics and combined with the multivariant mathematical statistic method. And try to find out the methods and approaches for establishing standard for TCM syndrome differentiation. METHODS: Clinical investigation on CG patients was carried out adopting clinical epidemiological method. RESULTS: The meaningful symptoms for making diagnosis of Pi-Wei damp-heat syndrome in frequency order, were red tongue with yellow and greasy fur, sticky and greasy sensation in mouth, brown urine, constipation, dry stool, flushed face and ponderous extremities. Those for Pi deficiency with damp retention syndrome were swollen tongue with teeth-print, greasy fur, sticky and greasy sensation in mouth, tastelessness, and poor appetite. CONCLUSION: By combining the integrative medical theory with multivariant statistic method, the meaningful essentials for diagnosis of dampness syndrome can be screened out.
