Correlation Between Homocysteine and Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndromes in Patients with Hepatolenticular Degeneration
To investigate the correlation between homocysteine (Hcy) and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndromes in patients with hepatolenticular degeneration [also known as Wilson's disease(WD)].
Method
2
A total of 356 patients with WD who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled and assigned to the WD group, while 100 healthy people were included as healthy controls. All participants underwent serum Hcy level measurement and the analysis of gender and age. Furthermore,all patients in the WD group were assessed by global assessment scale (GAS) and Barthel scale/index (BI). The correlation between GAS and BI scores and the serum Hcy levels of patients in the WD group was analyzed.
Result
2
The serum Hcy levels in the WD group were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group,(
P
<
0.01). The differences between different types of TCM syndromes were significant (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01),which were ranked as follows:Dampness-heat internal accumulation syndrome,phlegm-stasis combination syndrome,and Yin deficiency in liver and kidney syndrome. The correlation analysis revealed that serum Hcy levels in WD patients were positively correlated with GAS scores (
P
<
0.01), while negatively correlated with BI scores (
P
<
0.01). The analysis of variance indicated remarkable gender difference in the WD group (
P
<
0.01),with higher overall serum Hcy levels in men than in women,while there were no marked differences in the results between age and serum Hcy levels.
Conclusion
2
The serum Hcy level closely correlates with WD,showing significant differences among different TCM syndromes of WD,and the level changes can reflect different TCM syndromes and clinical conditions. Therefore,the detection of Hcy level can be used as a reference to identify the type of TCM syndrome of WD and assess the condition and the prognosis.
