Rules of moxibustion for low back pain by ZHOU Meisheng based on data mining and knowledge graph technology
To analyze the rules of moxibustion for low back pain by
ZHOU Meisheng
by using data mining and knowledge graph technology.
Methods
2
Taking the medical cases of moxibustion for low back pain from
ZHOU Meisheng
's legacy manuscripts and existing works as the research objects
information on disease types
symptoms
tongue manifestations
pulse conditions
syndrome patterns
moxibustion methods and acupoints were collected. Frequency statistics and community analysis were conducted by the ancient and modern medical record cloud platform V 2.3.7
cluster analysis of high-frequency acupoints was performed by SPSS26.0
association rule analysis of high-frequency acupoints was performed by SPSS Modeler 18.0
and the generated linked data were imported into Cytoscape 3.9.1 for complex network analysis. Knowledge graph of moxibustion for low back pain by
ZHOU Meisheng
was constructed based on the results of data mining. The data storage and display of knowledge graph were realized through the Neo4j 3.5.25 graph database
and the Cypher query language was used for knowledge graph retrieval and discovery.
Results
2
A total of 219 medical cases were collected
involving 14 disease types
85 related clinical symptoms
5 related TCM
syndrome types
and 6 moxibustion methods. The acupoints were mostly attributed to the governor vessel
the bladder meridian of foot-
taiyang
non-meridian and non-acupoint areas. The core prescription of acupoints derived from complex network analysis included tender points
Shenshu (BL23)
Jinsuo (GV8)
Yinjiao (CV7)
Yaoyangguan (GV3)
Yanglingquan (GB34)
which were largely coincides with high-frequency acupoints. Cluster analysis obtained 4 cluster combinations. Community analysis yielded 6 communities
each corresponding to different acupoints.The constructed knowledge graph contained 187 nodes and 696 relationships
by retrieving clinical elements related to low back pain
the disease-moxibustion association graph
disease-acupoint association graph
accompanying symptom-acupoint association graph and syndrome type-matching point association graph were obtained.
Conclusion
2
When treating low back pain with moxibustion
ZHOU Meisheng
adopts the principle of promoting circulation
distinguishing diseases to determine the treatment
selecting acupoints according to the diseases
and matching points according to the symptoms.And taking tender points

Jinsuo (GV8)
Yinjiao (CV7)
Yaoyangguan (GV3)
Yanglingquan (GB34) as core acupoints
combined with tenderness point selection
acupoint selection based on meridian and
zangfu
syndrome differentiation
"sunshine area" acupoint selection

acupoint matching. Additionally
he skillfully employs special points
such as Zhongzhu (KI15) and ear tips
pays attention to the reform of moxibustion tools
and innovates the moxibustion techniques
using distinctive moxibustion tools and methods to treat low back pain.
