Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationship between the objective indexes and TCM syndromes of occupational hand arm vibration disease ,and to provide clinical data for the objectification of TCM syndrome differentiation. Methods 101 patients with occupational hand arm vibration disease were collected ,including 24 patients with Xingbi,39 with Tongbi and 38 with Zhuobi,according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation ,the relationship was observed between different TCM Syndrome types and various of parameters,such as 5-and 10-minute rewarming rates in cold water rewarming test,terminal latency,amplitude, conduction velocity ,average time ,average amplitude of abductor pollicis brevis and abductor digiti minimi in electromyography. Results 5-and 10-minute rewarming rate in cold water rewarming test did not differ significantly among the three groups(P > 0.05). Amplitude of median nerve motor conduction differed significantly among the three groups of Xingbi,Tongbi and Zhuobi(χ2 = 6.14,P < 0.05),Further comparison between the groups was made in Xingbi and Tongbi(χ2=0.132,P=0.895),Xingbi and Zhuobi(χ2=2.277,P=0.023),Tongbi and Xingbi (χ2 = 2.172 ,P = 0.030). There were no significant differences among the three groups in latency and conduction velocity of the median nerve motor conduction and latency ,amplitude and conduction velocity of ulnar nerve motor conduction(P>0.05). The differences of conduction velocity and amplitude of median nerve and ulnar nerve sensory conduction,average time and average amplitude of abductor pollicis brevis and abductor muscle among the three groups had no statistical differences(P>0.05). Conclusions The distribution is different in the amplitude of median nerve motor conduction among the three groups of Xingbi,Tongbi and Zhuobi,further analysis shows that the difference is mainly reflected in the Xingbi group. We conclude that the median nerve axonal injury is lighter in Xingbi group than in the other two groups.
