Abstract:
Objective To analyze the medication patterns of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)for high-risk human papilloma-virus(HR-HPV)infection using data mining and machine learning.Methods Clinical data from patients diagnosed with HR-HPV infection at Dongzhimen Hospital Affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine were collected and standardized through the hospital information system(HIS).A normalized clinical database was established.Python 3.11 was utilized as the primary programming language for herbal frequency analysis,feature engineering,association rule mining,and machine learning-based modeling for symptom-specific modification of herbal combinations.Results The study included 1650 patients,5585 visits and 4027 prescriptions,involving 332herbal medicines with 84 271 usage instances.High-frequency herbs included Atractylodes macrocephala(Bái Zhú)and Scutellaria barbata(Bàn Zhī Lián).Medicinal properties were predominantly warm,followed by neutral and cold;flavors were mainly sweet,then bitter and pungent.Herbs primarily targeted the liver meridian,followed by the lung and spleen meridians.Key therapeutic effects focused on tonify-ing deficiency and clearing heat,supplemented by activating blood circulation,resolving stasis,dispelling external pathogens,and promo-ting diuresis.Fifty-two herb pairs were identified,such as Rhodiola rosea(Hóng Jǐng Tiān)-Hedyotis diffusa(Bái Huā Shé Shé Cǎo),and a foundational formula derived from the top 10 high-frequency herbs was established,emphasizing"clearing heat,detoxif-ying,strengthening immunity,and consolidating the exterior."Conclusion HR-HPV infection is primarily caused by insufficient vital qi and invasion of pathogenic factors into the uterine cervix.The core pathogenesis involves dampness,heat,toxicity,stasis,and defi-ciency.Treatment principles include drying dampness,promoting diuresis,clearing heat,detoxifying,activating blood circulation,un-blocking collaterals,strengthening immunity,and consolidating the exterior.Particular emphasis is placed on using pungent-warm exteri-or-releasing herbs like Cinnamomum cassia(Guì Zhī)to guide meridians and expel pathogens.
