Objective To analyze the characteristics of TCM syndromes of children abnormal sweating;To investigate the correlation between diseases and primary and secondary syndromes. Methods Through a multi-center epidemiology investigation, 400 cases were collected to statistically analyze the five TCM syndromes of children abnormal sweating, and characteristics of each syndrome were analyzed. Results In the 400 cases of children abnormal sweating, there were 129 cases (32.25%) of dysfunction of lung-wei pattern, 50 cases (12.50%) of nutrient qi and defensive qi discordance, 84 cases (21.00%) of qi and yin deficiency pattern, 57 cases (14.25%) of dampness heat forced steamed pattern, and 80 cases (20.00%) of qi and yang deficiency pattern. Spontaneous sweating and night sweating were found in the four patterns besides qi and yin deficiency pattern, and night sweating can be mainly found in qi and yin deficiency. Each type is consistent in the syndrome differentiation and cluster analysis. Conclusion Spontaneous sweating and night sweating, each has the certification of yin and yang. Spontaneous sweating can be caused by yin deficiency while night sweating can be caused by yang deficiency. Each pattern of children abnormal sweating has its own syndrome characteristic, which can provide the basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To explore the depression and anxiety status of patients with refractory irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)and its subtypes.Methods In this large sample,multi-center,prospective survey(Registration number in Chinese Clinical Trial Registry:ChiCTR-TRC-12001969),the patients who conformed to the Rome Ⅲ criteria for IBS were recruited from the department of gastroenterology of three hospitals in Guangdong province from June 2012 to September 2012.And 100 healthy subjects from the examination center of hospitals were recruited at the same time.The 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale(HAMD) and the 14-item Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale(HAMA) were used to analyze the depression and anxiety,respectively.Results 9802 patients were collected from department of gastroenterology,and a total of 1128 (11.5 ％) patients were diagnosed as IBS.601 of questionnaires were collected,including 142 (23.6％) of refractory IBS and 459 (76.4％) of non-refractory IBS.The incidences of depression,anxiety,depression and anxiety and the HAMD,HAMA scores were higher in refractory IBS group than those in the non-refractory IBS and control group,((66.2％ vs 23.3％ vs 9.0％),P＜0.05 ;(65.5％ vs 28.5％ vs 10.0％),P＜0.05;(58.5％ vs 17.9％ vs 5.0％),P＜0.05;(9.77 ±5.16)vs(5.48 ±4.03)vs(1.66±2.50),P＜0.05;(9.75 ±5.08)vs(5.91 ±3.80)vs(2.26 ±2.68),P＜0.05).And the incidences of moderate-severe depression and moderate-severe anxiety were higher in refractory IBS group than those in the non-refractory IBS and control group ((8.5％ vs 1.3％ vs 0),P＜0.05; (15.5％ vs 3.7％ vs 0),P＜0.05).The incidences of depression,anxiety,depression and anxiety and the HAMD scores were not obviously different among IBS-D,IBS-C,IBS-M and IBS-U subtypes of refractory IBS (P ＞ 0.05).However,the HAMA scores of IBS-D and IBS-M were higher than that of IBS-U((10.10 ± 5.03) vs(7.55 ± 3.22),P ＜ 0.05 ; (12.08 ±6.89) vs (7.55 ± 3.22),P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The high incidences of depression,anxiety and depression and anxiety,and the serious degrees of depression and anxiety existed in the patients with refractory IBS.And these are the important causes for refractoriness in these patients.

Objective:To investigate the classification of patients with gout, and further analyze their clinical features.Methods:Outpatients with gout were enrolled from January 2018 to July 2019 in Depart-ment of Rheumatology, Zhongshan Hospital. Subjects were classified into four groups according to their 24-hour urinaryexcretion and fractional excretion of urate. Clinical features of different groups were analyzed using one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Kruskal-Wallis H test, or χ2 test. Results:Finally, 378 subjects were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Among them, 186(49.2%) were renal underexcretion type, 100(26.5%) were combined type, 57(15.1%) were renal overload type, 35(9.3%) were the normal type. Renal underexcretion type was the main subtype in any age-stratified groups. With aging, the proportion of combined type decreased, while the normal type increased. Participants in the combined type were the youngest [(42±14) years of age] with the highest estimated glomerular filtration rate [(94±18) ml·min -1·1.73 m -2], while their serum urate levels were the highest [(554±104) μmol/L]. Subjects in the normal type were the oldest [(60±15) years of age] with the lowest estimated glomerular filtration rate [(71±19) mL·min -1·1.73 m -2], however, their serum urate concentrations were the lowest [(427±118) μmol/L], The difference was statistically significant (age, F=13.98; estimated glomerular filtration rate, F=16.11; urate, F=17.14; P<0.01). Prevalence of urolithiasis were similar among the four groups ( χ2 =2.00, P>0.05). Conclusion:The renal underexcretion type is the main type of gout. Young patients are more likely to suffer from combined type with the highest serum urate levels and the best renal function.
