- Abstract: Objective To explore the distribution of six meridians in patients with Autoimmune thyroiditis(AIT).Methods A retrospective study was conducted to record the clinical information of 150 patients with AIT,and fill them into the"AIT Six Meridian Symptoms Collection Table"for treatment of six meridian syndrome differentiation.SPSS26.0 software was used for statistical analysis to obtain the distribution law of six meridian syndrome differentiation of AIT.Results ①a total of 10 types of six meridians were obtained,including 6 types of single meridians and 4 types of second meridians,mainly shaoyang meridians,taiyin meridians and yangming meridians,accounting for 57.3%,10.0%and 7.3%.②There was statistical significance in the distribution of different thyroid function types and six meridian diseases in AIT(P<0.01).Yangming meridian was the main factor in AIT hyperthyroidism(50%),Shaoyang meridian was the main factor in AIT normal phase(83.5%),and Taiyin meridian was the main factor in AIT hypothyroidism(30.3%).③There was no significant difference in gender,age and the distribution of six meridian diseases in AIT patients(P>0.05).④There was significant difference in the distribution of disease duration and six meridian diseases in AIT patients(P<0.01).The disease duration of 3-6 years was mainly Taiyin meridian(30.3%).28.6%of patients with disease duration of 6-10 years were mainly with Taiyin meridian.Conclusions The distribution characteristics of the six channels of AIT are affected by the type of thyroid function,course of disease and many other factors.For the patients with hyperthyroidism of AIT,the treatment can be treated from Yangming meridian,the normal stage of AIT can be treated from Shaoyang meridian,and the hypothyroidism of AIT can be treated from Taiyin meridian,highlighting the necessity of syndrome differentiation and treatment of AIT six channels and providing objective theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
