Development and validation of Yin-Deficiency Questionnaire.
The American Journal of Chinese Medicine, 2012Co-Authors: Jongbae ParkAbstract:This study describes development and validation of a questionnaire as an adjunct to Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis of Yin-Deficiency Syndrome (Yin-DS). The Yin-Deficiency Questionnaire 1 (Yin-DQ1) consists of 10 items. Seventy-nine healthy volunteers and 44 patients diagnosed with Yin-DS were enrolled for the evaluation of discriminant validity and factorial validity. Another group of 83 healthy volunteers participated for test-retest reliability test. Internal consistency was high in both groups (Cronbach's α = 0.8615). Test-retest reliability (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient) ranged from 0.54 to 0.79 (p < 0.01). Factor analysis demonstrated that a two factor solution best explained the variance in responses (51.62%). The scores of all items in patients diagnosed with Yin-DS were significantly higher compared with those of healthy volunteers. The data show the internal consistency, test-retest reliability and strong discriminative properties of the Yin-DQ1. Further research determining the optimal cut-off score for Yin-DS and testing its usage as an outcome measure in a clinical trial is needed.

quantifYing traditional chinese medicine patterns using modern test theory an example of functional constipation
BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2017Co-Authors: Minxue Shen, Ming Hu, Linyong XuAbstract:The study aimed to validate a scale to assess the severity of “Yin Deficiency, intestine heat” pattern of functional constipation based on the modern test theory. Pooled longitudinal data of 237 patients with “Yin Deficiency, intestine heat” pattern of constipation from a prospective cohort study were used to validate the scale. Exploratory factor analysis was used to examine the common factors of items. A multidimensional item response model was used to assess the scale with the presence of multidimensionality. The Cronbach’s alpha ranged from 0.79 to 0.89, and the split-half reliability ranged from 0.67 to 0.79 at different measurements. Exploratory factor analysis identified two common factors, and all items had cross factor loadings. Bidimensional model had better goodness of fit than the unidimensional model. Multidimensional item response model showed that the all items had moderate to high discrimination parameters. Parameters indicated that the first latent trait signified intestine heat, while the second trait characterized Yin Deficiency. Information function showed that items demonstrated highest discrimination power among patients with moderate to high level of disease severity. Multidimensional item response theory provides a useful and rational approach in validating scales for assessing the severity of patterns in traditional Chinese medicine.

correlation between tibetan and traditional chinese medicine body constitutions a cross sectional study of tibetan college students in the tibet autonomous region
Journal of Traditional Chinese Medical Sciences, 2018Co-Authors: Ouzhu Ciren, Qi WangAbstract:Abstract Objective To evaluate the correlation between the body constitution types of Tibetan medicine and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Methods The cluster sampling method was employed to recruit participants from a university in the Tibet Autonomous Region. Tibetan medicine and TCM questionnaires were respectively used to assess the participants' constitution information. Descriptive statistics were applied to analyze the baseline and constitution characteristics of the participants. Two-factor correlation analysis and the paired chi-square test were applied to analyze the correlation between Tibetan and TCM constitution types. Results Data from 466 Tibetan students were analyzed. The mean scores of the rlung, mkhris pa, and bad kan constitution types in Tibetan medicine were 43.2 (11.1), 42.1 (10.1), and 45.0 (8.0), respectively; participants with the three-factor convergence body constitution type accounted for 13.7% of the whole population. Among the TCM constitution types, qi stagnation was the most common (21.5%), followed by the balance type (16.5%); the other constitutions detected were qi Deficiency, Yin Deficiency, and yang Deficiency. The rate of consistency for the identification of the three-factor convergence constitution in Tibetan medicine and the balance constitution in TCM was 89.1%, with a Kappa coefficient of 0.57 (P > .05). The rlung constitution in Tibetan medicine was associated with the Yin Deficiency, yang Deficiency, and blood stasis constitutions in TCM. The mkhris pa constitution in Tibetan medicine was associated with the damp heat and Yin Deficiency constitutions in TCM. The bad kan constitution in Tibetan medicine was associated with the phlegm dampness, qi Deficiency, and Yin Deficiency constitutions in TCM. Conclusion There is a correlation between the body constitution types of Tibetan medicine and TCM. The reliability and validity of the Questionnaire for Tibetan Medicine Constitution requires improvement, and more studies with larger sample sizes and more varied populations are warranted to verify the correlation between Tibetan medicine and TCM constitutions.

Analysis of Risk Factors on Yin Deficiency Syndrome of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Liaoning Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 2020Co-Authors: Zhao LingyaAbstract:Objective: To explore the risk factors of Yin Deficiency syndrome of type 2 diabetes mellitus and to provide objective evidences for TCM syndrome differentiation. Methods: On the basis of the epidemiological survey,147 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients were divided them into Yin Deficiency syndrome and non- Yin Deficiency syndrome. The relationships between risk factors and Yin Deficiency syndrome were analyzed by unconditional univariate and multivariate Logistic regression. Results: Age and glycosylated hemoglobin( HbA1c) had positive correlation with Yin Deficiency syndrome of type 2 DM and sex had inverse correlation with Yin Deficiency syndrome of type 2 DM. Conclusion: HbA1c and age were the major risk factors for Yin Deficiency syndrome of type 2 DM which have reference value for the objective TCM syndrome differentiation.
