Study on Medical Records of Xiexin Decoction Analogous Prescriptions Based on Complex Network Algorithm

Objective To summarize the core drugs, compatibility rules and properties, flavor and meridian tropism of the Xiexin Decoction Analogous Prescriptions by complex network mining techniques, in order to provide reference for the research of the Analogous prescriptions. Methods The prescription information was extracted from the case of Xiexin Decoction Analogous Prescription(herbs acrid in flavor for dispersing and herbs bitter in flavor for descending)in the the “Ancient and Modern Medical Case Cloud Platform”, and the core drugs, compatibility rules and properties, flavor and meridian tropism of the Xiexin Decoction Analogous Prescriptions were analyzed. Results The core drugs of Xiexin Decoction Analogous Prescription were Pinellia, Dried Ginger, Licorice, Rhizoma Coptidis, Scutellaria, Poria, Codonopsis, Jujube, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Atractylodes Rhizome, Tangerine, Amomum vulgaris. The herbs especially belonged to the warm properties, the acrid flavor, and the meridian tropism of these drugs belonged to spleen and stomach channels. Excavation of the common drugs on the compatibility and network compatibility group are: Scutellaria-Coptis, Dried ginger - Pinellia, Jujube - Licorice - Codonopsis, Berberine+Scutellaria - Pinellia+Dried ginger. Conclusion Using the complex network mining technology, the core drugs, compatibility drugs and properties, flavor and meridian tropism of the Xiexin Decoction Analogous Prescription were obtained, which played an exemplary role in further digging into the compatibility of the analogous prescriptions.
