To summarize Professor LIU Feng-bin's clinical experience and theoretical thoughts on chronic @entity4726 (CAG), the study group designed a retrospective study on his case series and expert interview. First of all, the data of CAG @entity1 treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine between 2009 and 2013, e. g. herbs, diseases, syndrome type, prescription amount and number of herbs, was collected and processed. The statistical description and binary logistic regression were used to determined the syndrome type, initial basic remedy and modification. During the statistics, a complete and sub-group analysis was performed simultaneously. After the expert interview, the syndrome type and medication were finalized. As a result, a total of 228 CAG @entity1 aged at (50.30    10.18) were collected, including 151 males (66.23%). Of them, the TCM diagnosis and syndrome type were extracted from the information of 157 @entity1 , including 115 cases with @entity356 , 23 cases with @entity158 , 19 missing cases, 2 cases with @entity425 , 57 cases with @entity4559 and @entity8291 , 18 cases with @entity1819 , 23 cases with @entity308 , 21 cases with liver qi invading @entity1819 and 26 qi and @entity20247 , respectively. All of the 228 @entity1 used totally 104 herbs, while the subgroups with 157 @entity1 used 94 herbs. The most frequently used 15 herbs used in each groups were analyzed to determine the initial basic remedy and modification. Subsequently, based on the information of the sub-groups with 157 @entity1 , with the syndrome type as the dependent variable, the logistic regression analysis was made on the most frequently used 32 herbs, in order to determined the modification in herbs for different syndrome types. After experts reviewed and modified, they believed the main causes of CAG were dietary irregularities, moodiness and weak constitution; the pathogenesis of CAG was @entity4559 with qi stagnation, @entity308 and @entity1503 in the stomach meridian. The above six syndrome types and 12 herbs were determined, including Pseudostellariae Radix, Poria, Atractylodismacrocephalae Rhizoma, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus, Sepiae Endoconcha, Arecae Pericarpium, Aurantii Fructus, Perillae Caulis, Herba Hedyotis Diffusae, Scutellariae Barbatae Herba, Curcumae Rhizoma. This study summarized Professor LIU Feng-bin's clinical experience and theoretical thoughts of chronic @entity4726 based on clinical practice data and expert interview, with a rigorous design and good scientificity and practicability.
