To explore the law of Prof. Yao Naili's traditional Chinese medicine treatment of chronic gastritis.
The chronic gastritis cases treated by Prof. Yao Naili at the specialist outpatient clinic of Beijing Tongrentang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from October 2017 to March 2019 were reviewed. The data on the four traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic methods were extracted and standardized to form the database of Prof. Yao Naili's traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for the treatment of chronic gastritis. SPSS 20.0 was used for the descriptive statistical analysis of the categorical data, and factor analysis was performed for continuous data.
The records of 113 cases were included. The traditional Chinese medicinal substances frequently used by Yao Naili for treating chronic gastritis included Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Poria cocos, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, Rhizoma Pinelliae Preparata, and Coptis chinensis. Factor analysis: three key traditional Chinese medicine combinations (common factors) were extracted, namely Coptis chinensis and Scutellaria baicalensis (Common Factor 1), Poria cocos and Ligusticum wallichii (Common Factor 2), and Pseudostellaria heterophylla (Common Factor 3).
Prof. Yao Naili's treatment of chronic gastritis is mainly based on strengthening the spleen and tonifying the stomach. The treatments are mainly based on drugs with functions such as promoting blood and qi circulation, strengthening the spleen, tonifying qi, and nourishing yin. Focusing on the pathogenesis, multiple methods are combined, such as removing stasis and dredging collaterals, clearing heat and detoxification, as well as promoting qi circulation and relieving pain.
