[Study on the relationship between TCM syndrome and gastroscopic feature in children with stomachache]
1Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital University of Medical Sciences, Beijing. huiminyan@sina.com
Objective:
To explore the characteristic of TCM syndrome in children with stomachache and its relationship with the gastroscopic feature.
Methods:
The relationship between macroscopic syndrome differentiation and microscopic syndrome differentiation in 300 children with stomachache was analyzed by means of clinical syndrome differentiation and gastroscopic examination.
Results:
The total disease detectable rate of gastroscopic examination was 98.3%. Dampness-heat syndrome and deficiency-cold syndrome were the syndromes that most commonly be detected by either macroscopic or microscopic syndrome differentiation. And the two methods of differentiation showed better coherence in superficial gastritis.
Conclusion:
The clinical effect of TCM therapy on children stomachache could be improved through integrative Chinese and Western medical approach, by conducting syndrome differentiation referring to the gastroscopic features, which could conduct microscopic guidance to the clinical macroscopic syndrome differentiation.

Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...
