Background
Varicose veins, or chronic venous insufficiency, become visibly
noticeable from the second stage when veins start appearing on the surface
of the skin. Symptoms include severe itching, pain, swelling, and inflammation.
Chronic venous insufficiency is a common condition in countries such as
China, South Korea, Japan, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan. Diagnosis of varicose
veins relies on blood flow studies, coagulation tests, contrast-enhanced magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), and Doppler ultrasound of the venous system.
Patient B, a 43-year-old male, has experienced pain and swelling in the right
lower limb vein for the past two years, especially when exposed to heat. Coagulation
tests show PT and PT INR within normal range. Doppler ultrasound
of the venous system revealed that the perforating vein is dilated to 0.45 cm
and has valve insufficiency. In the deep veins, a width of 0.68 cm was measured,
while superficial veins ranged between 0.46–0.59 cm. After receiving
appropriate treatment from the Department of Fire Acupuncture, the patient’s
symptoms have improved.

Background:
The physiology and intellectual traits of individuals are interrelated and should be studied comprehensively.
In traditional medicine, the teachings of wind (khi), bile (shar), and phlegm (badgan) are considered an integrated
system for maintaining health, preventing diseases, diagnosing, and treating illnesses.
Aim:
Our research is to study students’ physical indicators, body composition, innate characteristics and the relationship
between physique and psychological factors.
Materials and Methods:
The study was conducted on relatively healthy individuals, did clinical observations and used a
cross-sectional study design. (defined as those experiencing internal physiological changes that do not impair their work
capacity or active lifestyle)
Results:
Participants were aged 19-25 years, with an average age of 21.5. Heights ranged from 149 cm to 198 cm, with
an average of 165.7 cm. Weights ranged from 37 kg to 111 kg, with an average of 61.55 kg. The Body Mass Index (BMI)
varied between 15.3 and 36.3, with an average of 22.36. The majority of participants were female (76.4%), while male
participants accounted for 23.6%. Regarding individual constitutional types, the most common were: predominantly bile
with wind characteristics (21.2%), predominantly bile with phlegm characteristics (30.8%), predominantly wind with bile
characteristics (19.6%). Stress survey results ranged from a minimum score of 0 to a maximum of 50, with an average
score of 20.6, indicating slightly below-average psychological well-being. The correlation between physiological traits
and psychological survey scores was R=0.323** (p=0.001), showing a weak but positive correlation. This suggests that
below-average psychological well-being is only minimally influenced by physiological traits.
Conclusion
The stress survey results indicated an average score of 20.6, slightly below the normal psychological index.
The correlation between constitutional traits and psychological well-being was weak but positive (R=0.323**, p=0.001).
This implies that individual constitutional characteristics have a minimal effect on psychological well-being. In the study
of intrinsic unique characteristics, it has been found that certain physical constitution metrics of the participants demonstrate
both positive and negative correlations with the majority of body types, indicating that individuals exhibit varying
physical constitution characteristics. Additionally, there exists a positive but weak correlation between intrinsic unique
characteristics and stress levels, warranting further investigation.
