文摘目的:回顾分析103例自身免疫性肝炎(AIH)、原发性胆汁性胆管炎(PBC)、原发性胆汁性胆管炎重叠自身免疫性肝炎(AIH/PBC OS)等3种自身免疫性肝病(AILD)的中医证候,并运用中医传承辅助平台(V2.5)对治疗有效的患者挖掘分析其用药规律。方法:选取2005年1月至2013年1月上海中医药大学附属曙光医院收治的AILD患者103例作为研究对象,其中有AIH 20例、PBC45例、AIH/PBC OS 38例,采用中药联合西药,持续治疗大于1年以上,评估患者中医证候特点、肝功能等,并运用频次统计、关联规则、基于熵聚类方法规律分析等方法对其中治疗有效的患者方药的规律及特点挖掘。结果:103例AILD患者的中医证候特点以肝脾肾亏虚最常见(脾气亏虚证和肝肾阴虚证),中医治疗以健脾补肝肾药为主;治疗后3组患者的间接胆红素、谷丙转氨酶、碱性磷酸酶和γ-谷氨酰转移酶较治疗前显著降低(P<0.01)。治疗后3组患者的症状总积分较治疗前显著下降(P<0.001),其中3组患者乏力、两目干涩、口干、胁肋疼痛、纳差、视物模糊、口苦症状较治疗前显著(P<0.05)。结论:肝脾肾亏虚是AILD最常见的病机,培土益肝肾法是AILD的有效中医治疗法则。
