Analysis of Diagnosis Model of Systematic Sphygmology for Syndrome Differentiation from Perspective of Multi-Layer Network
Pulse diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)can reflect the normal and change of human body objectively and comprehensively,but it is necessary to establish an objective and logical diagnosis model.We transferred the concept of multi-layer network to the relationship between pulse and disease.Total 25 pairs of pulse element nodes were extracted to construct the spatio-temporal pulse network.Under the guidance of the knowledge system of TCM,joints were linked up to establish relationships.Then,the etiology layer,physical personality layer,psychological state layer,dysfunction layer and structural disorder layer were extracted.Finally,the understanding of the general situation of patients,etiology and pathogenesis and disease evolution process was output,so as to guide the clinical syndrome differentiation and treatment.So the disease diagnosis model dominated by the network of pulse elements of systematic sphygmology for syndrome differentiation has been formed.
