Abstract:
To reveal the medication patterns of Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of cough based on the analysis of the patent status of Chinese materia medica (CMM) in the field of cough control in nearly 20 years. Patents of Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of cough were systematically searched in SIPO Platform and CNKI, association analysis and network analysis of high-frequency medicines were used to reveal the medication patterns of Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of cough with software Clementine 12.0. The results showed that Chinese medicine with highest frequency in 316 formulas was Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, the other Chinese herbs with higher frequency were Platycodonis Radix, Ephedrae Herba, Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, Pinelliae Rhizoma, etc. The main categories were the medicines used to treat cough and asthma, as well as to reduce phlegm. The commonly used herbal pairs were Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma-Platycodonis Radix, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma-Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, Pinelliae Rhizoma-Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Ephedrae Herba-Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, etc. It was concluded that the medication patterns of Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of cough can be revealed based on the analysis of the herbal frequency, herbal pairs, association rules, and the network of high-frequency medicines and the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, so as to provide reference evidences for clinical medication.
