ObjectiveTo explore the common syndromes of patients with cerebral infarction in rural areas of eastern Henan based on latent structure model and factor analysis,and provide reference for clinical differentiation of cerebral infarction. MethodThe data samples of patients with cerebral infarction in rural areas in eastern Henan were preprocessed. With Lantern 5.0 of latent structure method and LTM-EAST algorithm of two-step latent tree analysis, the manifest variable latent structure model of related symptoms was built to interpret different latent nodes, and common syndromes of cerebral infarction were obtained via comprehensive cluster analysis. SPSS 20.0 was used for factor analysis and cluster analysis of related symptoms to infer the distribution of syndrome types. ResultThe data of 888 patients with cerebral infarction were included, involving symptoms, tongue and pulse (88 in total). The 65 symptoms with a frequency of ≥5% were constructed into a latent structure model, and 31 latent variables were obtained. The Bayesian information criterion (BIC) score was -15 367.17. Based on professional knowledge, s6 common syndrome types were found, namely, syndrome of upward disturbance of wind-fire, Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome, syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis blocking collaterals, syndrome of phlegm-heat and fu-organ excess, syndrome of wind phlegm obstructing collaterals, and syndrome of stirring wind due to yin deficiency. In factor analysis, the symptoms with a frequency of >10% were selected, and 13 common factors were obtained and used for systematic cluster analysis. And 5 syndrome types were inferred: syndrome of wind phlegm obstructing collaterals, syndrome of phlegm-heat and fu-organ excess, Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome, syndrome of combined phlegm and blood stasis, and syndrome of yin deficiency and internal heat. According to the determination criteria of syndrome types in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), 6 common syndrome types of cerebral infarction were finally determined. ConclusionAccording to the severity of the disease, the common syndromes of patients with cerebral infarction in rural areas of Eastern Henan were divided into the following categories: apoplexy involving channel and collateral: syndrome of upward disturbance of wind fire, syndrome of wind phlegm obstructing collaterals, and syndrome of stirring wind due to yin deficiency. Apoplexy involving zang and fu-viscera: syndrome of phlegm-heat and fu-organ excess, and syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis blocking collaterals. Recovery period: Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. This study was basically consistent with the syndrome law in TCM theory, and provided reference for further establishing syndrome diagnostic criteria of cerebral infarction.

Aim To explore the mechanism of Danshen decoction in the treatment of colon cancer using network pharmacology and molecular docking.Methods The active components and corresponding target proteins of Salvia miltiorrhiza, Santalum album and Amo-mum villosum in Danshen decoction were screened based on Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology database and analysis platform.The targets of colon cancer were searched by using Genecards database, and the common targets were selected.The network diagram of traditional Chinese medicine-active components-target-disease was constructed by using Cytoscape 3.7.0.The protein protein interaction network of common targets was constructed by using STRING database.The gene ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Gnomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis were carried out based on R4.0.2.The important targets in the key pathways and the important active components in the network diagram of traditional Chinese medicine-active ingredients-target-disease network were selected for Surflex Dock.Results A total of 78 active components, 142 targets, 3 239 colon cancer targets, 105 overlapping targets and 69 corresponding active components were screened out.KEGG analysis showed that the key signaling pathway was PI3K/AKT.Luteolin and Tanshinone IIA with high correlation were selected to dock with protein kinase B(AKT1).Both active components had hydrogen bonding with AKT1.Conclusions Danshen decoction plays a positive role in colon cancer treatment.The mechanism may be related to the regulation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
