Exploring professor Cheng Hongliang's clinical patterns in acupuncture treatment of dysphagia post-stroke using neo4j
Objective This study employs Neo4j knowledge graph technology to investigate the clinical patterns in professor Cheng Hongliang's acupuncture treatment of dysphagia after stroke.Methods We col-lected a total of 568 records of acupuncture and moxibustion diagnosis and treatment of patients with post-stroke dysphagia in the Department of Encephalopathy,Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chi-nese Medicine from June 2019 to June 2023.Neo4j 3.5.25 graph database was used to generate a comprehen-sive relationship graph of syndrome types.Based on Python 3.8.6,frequency statistical analysis was carried out.and PHP 5.4 program code was used to analyze the association rules of acupoints,and the knowledge graph of acupoint association rules was drawn in Neo4j.Cypher statements were used to query the relationship with high correlation degree of target syndrome type and output the knowledge graph of syndrome clustering.Results Among them,a total of 7 traditional Chinese medicine syndromes were involved.There were 18 symptoms with a distribution frequency of ≥20％,and 19 acupoints with a frequency of ≥20％.Noteworthy acupoints based on meridian distribution were Ren Channel,Gallbladder Channel of Foot Shaoyang,Extraordi-nary Points,Governor Channel,Stomach Channel of Foot Yangming,and Spleen Channel of Foot Taiyin.Acupoint combinations with higher lifting degrees included Shousanli(LI10),Waiguan(SJ5),Quchi(LI11),Yanglingquan(GB34),Dazhong(KI4),Qihai(RN6),Xuehai(SP10),etc.,and the knowledge graph of syn-drome type clustering is obtained.Conclusion Professor Cheng Hongliang's theory,"The pharynx is the gathering place of the channels",emphasizes the core of"diagnosing channels for treatment".He has estab-lished a treatment approach primarily focusing on the Ren and Governor channels,combined with the strategy of selecting acupoints based on different meridian groups.
