Objective To explore the attentional network function in sub-healthy individuals with spleen qi deficiency syndrome.Methods Twenty-seven individuals in the sub-healthy spleen qi deficiency syndrome group were recruited from September 2022 to August 2024 in communities and colleges.Twenty-five healthy controls were also recruited according to the principle of matching age,gender,and years of education components.Attention network tests were performed on subjects in both groups.Results Compared with the control group,the executive control network function value of the spleen qi deficiency syndrome group was significantly decreased(P=0.012).The differences in correct rate,overall reaction time,alert network and orientation network between the two groups were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The results of correlation analysis showed a significant negative correlation between Health Evaluating Questionnaire H20 V2009 scores and executive control network efficiency of the subjects in the spleen qi deficiency syndrome(P＜0.001),and a positive correlation between the spleen qi deficiency syndrome score and executive control network efficiency(P=0.038).Conclusions Abnormal changes in the executive control of attention in sub-healthy subjects with spleen qi deficiency syndrome were closely related to the severity of the symptoms of spleen qi deficiency,which provided further scientific evidence for the cognitive psychological connotation of the theory of"spleen stores Yi".

Objective To build the machine learning classification model for sub-health patients with spleen qi deficiency syndrome and kidney qi deficiency syndrome based on degree centrality characteristics.Methods A total of 80 sub-healthy subjects were included,including 40 subhealth patients with spleen qi de ficiency syndrome and 40 subhealth patients with kidney qi deficiency syndrome were enrolled and underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans.The DPABI software was used to extract the degree centrality characteristics of all subjects,and a random forest model was used for classification.Results Between the sub-health spleen qi deficiency syndrome group and the sub-health kidney qi deficiency syndrome group,after feature selection,10 degree centrality features were finally obtained:The supplementary eye field,posterior cingulate gyrus,MT+area,pre-supramarginal sulcus,ventromedial visual area,secondary visual cortex,supramarginal sulcus,precuneus,ventral supramarginal gyrus complex and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.Following hyperparameter optimization and leave-one-out cross-validation,a random forest classification model was obtained with an accuracy rate of 0.71.Conclusion The significant changes in the centrality of brain regions such as the supplementary eye field and posterior cingulate gyrus may be key brain regions underlying the neural mechanism differences between subhealth spleen qi deficiency syndrome and kidney qi deficiency syndrome,providing neuroimaging evidence for the cognitive neural basis differences in traditional Chinese medicine theories of"spleen in storing idea"and"kidney storing will".

Objective To explore the neuroimaging mechanisms of cognitive impairment in sub-health patients with spleen qi deficiency syndrome and kidney qi deficiency syndrome using independent component analysis.Methods 40 sub-health patients with spleen qi deficiency syndrome and 40 kidney qi deficiency syndrome were recruited.All subjects underwent repeated neuropsychological testing and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI)scans.Independent component analysis was used to compare functional connectivity differences between the two groups of subjects in the default mode network(DMN),frontoparietal network(FPN),dorsal attention network(DAN),and executive control network(ECN).The relationship between the differences in functional connectivity and cognitive function in the two groups of patients was also analyzed.Results In sub-health patients with spleen deficiency syndrome,the DMN included six brain regions,including the bilateral superior parietal lobule,left inferior occipital gyrus,and left lingual gyrus.The FPN included four brain regions,including the left superior parietal gyrus and the left caudate nucleus,the DAN included two brain regions,including the right superior temporal gyrus and the left medial frontal gyrus,and the ECN included the left central parietal lobule.The functional connectivity between the spleen qi deficiency syndrome symptom score and the left middle temporal gyrus and right superior temporal gyrus showed a significant positive correlation(r=0.371,P=0.028).In sub-health kidney qi deficiency syndrome patients,the DMN included six brain regions,including the left superior temporal gyrus,left precuneus,and right angular gyrus,the FPN included three brain regions,including the right middle temporal gyrus and right superior temporal gyrus,the DAN included four brain regions,including the right wedge lobe and the left medial frontal superior gyrus,and the ECN included the left central paracentral lobule and the right central posterior gyrus.Among these,the functional connectivity between the left wedge lobe and the left frontal middle gyrus showed a significant positive correlation with the syndrome score of kidney qi deficiency(r=0.404,P=0.016).Conclusion Sub-health patients with spleen qi deficiency syndrome and kidney qi deficiency syndrome exhibit different neuroimaging bases for cognitive impairment,providing neuroimaging evidence to elucidate the differences in the cognitive psychological connotation of the theories of"spleen in storing idea"and"kidney storing will".
