Exploration of Benign and Malignant Tendency of Breast Tumors Based on Analysis of Birthdate Circuit Qi Endowment of Five Circuit Phases and Six Climatic Factors
Objective To explore the birthdate circuit qi endowment of the five circuit phases and six climatic factors in the female patients with benign and malignant breast tumors,and to analyze the benign and malignant tendency of breast tumors.Methods The birth date information of 723 patients with breast malignant tumor(breast cancer)and 1 595 patients with benign breast tumor were collected from the electronic medical record system of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine.SPSS 25.0 statistical software was used to analyze the circuit qi information of the two groups of patients.Results(1)The analysis of suiyun(yearly evolutive phase)showed that the patients born in the years of excessive wood phase,excessive fire phase,and deficiency earth phase tended to suffer from breast cancer,while the patients born in the years of deficiency gold phase,deficiency wood phase,and excessive water phase tended to suffer from benign breast tumors.(2)The analysis of dominant qi(regular yearly circuit qi)showed that the patients born at the time of shaoyin monarch fire were more likely to suffer from breast cancer,while patients born at the time of jueyin wind-wood and taiyin damp-earth were more likely to suffer from benign breast tumors.(3)The analysis of guest qi(alterable yearly circuit qi)showed that the patients born at the time of jueyin wind-wood and yangming dry-gold were more likely to suffer from breast cancer,and the patients born at the time of shaoyang ministerial fire and taiyang cold-water were more likely to suffer from benign breast tumors.(4)The analysis of birth season showed that the patients born in spring were more likely to suffer from breast cancer.(5)The analysis of the combination of circuit and qi(circuit phases and climatic factors)showed that the patients born in the year of xiaoni(circuit phases generating climatic factors),buhe(circuit phases restricting climatic factors),and tianxing(sitian climatic factors restricting the predominant circuit phases)tended to suffer from breast cancer,and patients born in the year of suihui(yearly heavenly-stem circuit phase accorded with the yearly earthly-branch circuit qi)and tongsuihui(deficiency yearly circuit phase in accordance with the second half of the alterable yearly circuit qi)tended to suffer from benign breast tumors.(6)The analysis of celestial control-terrestrial effect showed that the combination of celestial control-terrestrial had no significant effect on the incidence of breast cancer or benign breast tumors(P>0.05).Conclusion(1)Certain differences and tendencies of birthdate circuit qi endowment exist between benign breast tumors and breast cancer.(2)The birthdate circuit qi endowment of breast cancer is characterized by wind and heat,and mainly involves liver,spleen,heart and kidney.Compared with patients with benign breast tumors,patients with breast cancer usually have the excess and heat biased constitution endowment.
