TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of data processing, in particular to a method, device and storage medium for associating auscultation sound of pediatric pneumonia with TCM diagnosis data. BACKGROUND
[0002] Auscultation sound (especially fine moist rales and wheezing sound) of pediatric pneumonia is one of the key signs for Western medicine to diagnose pneumonia. In the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), these auscultation sounds are an important part of "listening diagnosis" and directly reflect the core pathogenesis such as "phlegm, heat, obstruction and wheezing". Auscultation sound provides strong objective evidence and quantitative reference for TCM syndrome differentiation (especially phlegm-heat obstructing lung and toxic heat obstructing lung). When treating pediatric pneumonia, TCM highly depends on and integrates the results of auscultation, which is one of the key bases for syndrome differentiation, prescription selection (especially the selection of phlegm-reducing and wheezing-relieving drugs), and evaluation of efficacy and prognosis.
[0003] The key of integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is to enrich and verify the "listening diagnosis" and syndrome differentiation of TCM by the objectivity and accuracy of Western medicine auscultation, and to improve symptoms (such as cough, wheezing and sputum) and promote lung inflammation absorption and recovery by individualized treatment according to pathogenesis (including pathogenesis reflected by auscultation) combining with the advantages of TCM holistic view and syndrome differentiation and treatment.
[0004] Therefore, in clinical practice, pediatricians with Western or TCM background will pay great attention to the results of auscultation when diagnosing and treating pediatric pneumonia. TCM practitioners will organically integrate these results into the framework of TCM four examinations, making the syndrome differentiation more accurate and the treatment more targeted. The dynamic changes of auscultation sound are also one of the important objective indicators for evaluating the effect of TCM in treating pneumonia. SUMMARY

[0056] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the application, and are not used to limit the application.
[0057] In order to better understand the technical solutions of the application, the specific embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and the accompanying drawings.
[0058] The traditional auscultation method has certain limitations in the diagnosis process, and the diagnosis result is highly dependent on the clinical experience of doctors, and multiple diagnosis items need to be checked for auxiliary diagnosis, which finally leads to the delay of diagnosis of pediatric pneumonia.
[0059] The main solution of the embodiments of the application is to collect the heart and lung auscultation sound signals of the pediatric patients to be diagnosed, determine the representation of the auscultation sound in the western medical auxiliary examination corresponding to the auscultation sound signals, and the western medical signs include the representation of the auscultation sound; determine the TCM syndrome type in the TCM syndrome differentiation type corresponding to the representation of the auscultation sound; and determine the TCM medication recommendation for the pediatric patients to be diagnosed according to the western medical signs and / or the TCM syndrome type.
[0060] In this embodiment, for the convenience of description, the following is described with the auscultation device as the execution subject.
[0061] The application provides a solution, which provides strong objective evidence and quantitative reference for TCM syndrome differentiation, especially for excess syndromes such as phlegm-heat obstructing lung and toxic-heat obstructing lung, through the relationship between western medical signs and syndrome types of TCM syndrome differentiation, quickly diagnoses and determines the syndrome type corresponding to the auscultation sound signal and the TCM medication recommendation, and improves the diagnosis speed of pediatric pneumonia and the key basis for evaluating the efficacy and prognosis of TCM pediatric pneumonia treatment through auscultation.
[0062] It should be noted that the execution subject of the embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, or an electronic device capable of realizing the above functions, a stethoscope device, etc. The stethoscope device can also be referred to as a pediatric pneumonia auscultation sound and traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis data association device. The following describes the embodiment and each of the following embodiments by taking the stethoscope device as an example.
[0063] Based on this, the application provides a pediatric pneumonia auscultation sound and traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis data association method, which is described with reference to Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a pediatric pneumonia auscultation sound and traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis data association method according to a first embodiment of the application.
[0064] In the embodiment, the pediatric pneumonia auscultation sound and traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis data association method includes steps S10-S30.
[0065] Step S10, collecting the heart and lung auscultation sound signal of the child to be diagnosed, and determining the auscultation sound representation in the western medicine auxiliary examination corresponding to the auscultation sound signal. The western medicine signs include the auscultation sound representation.
[0066] The auscultation sound signal is a sound signal generated by airflow through the airway and alveoli during the breathing process recorded by the stethoscope device, reflecting the airway patency, lung tissue elasticity and abnormal lesions. Optionally, the stethoscope device can be a traditional stethoscope, an electronic stethoscope, a wearable device, etc.
[0067] In actual application, the electronic stethoscope is close to the heart and lung of the child to be diagnosed. The electronic stethoscope collects the auscultation sound signal of the heart and lung of the child to be diagnosed. The electronic stethoscope directly analyzes the auscultation sound signal, and then quickly diagnoses the child pneumonia, quickly obtains the corresponding traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation type, is beneficial to the traditional Chinese medicine prescription selection, corresponding treatment, and dynamic understanding of the curative effect and prognosis.
[0068] In the application scenario of telemedicine, the parent collects the auscultation sound signal of the heart and lung of the child to be diagnosed by the electronic stethoscope, and uploads the auscultation sound signal of the heart and lung of the child to be diagnosed to the network end. The network end applies the method of the application to make a preliminary diagnosis based on the auscultation sound signal, diagnoses the child pneumonia, avoids wasting the diagnosis time of the parents on the way, and ensures the timeliness of the diagnosis of the child pneumonia. Optionally, after diagnosing the child pneumonia, the online traditional Chinese medicine consultation is connected.
[0069] In the present application, the western medical signs mainly include the representation of auscultation sound, that is, the result of auscultation sound, wherein the auscultation sound includes moist rales, breath sounds, wheezing sound and tubular breath sound, etc. Optionally, the auscultation sound includes moist rales, breath sounds, wheezing sound and tubular breath sound in different stages of disease course, and can also include moist rales, breath sounds, wheezing sound and tubular breath sound in different degrees. For example, the auscultation sound includes fine moist rales, coarse moist rales, large bubbling sound, wheezing sound, weakened or disappeared breath sound, tubular breath sound, bronchial breath sound, etc.
[0070] In the western medical signs, fine moist rales are the most diagnostic. Fine moist rales are obvious at the end of inspiration, with small and dense sounds, like the sound of twisting hair or the sound of water bubble breaking. Fine moist rales indicate inflammatory exudate in alveoli or small bronchi, which is a typical sign of alveolitis. In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, it indicates the presence of phlegm, phlegm turbidity or phlegm heat obstructing the lung.
[0071] In the western medical signs, coarse moist rales or large bubbling sound are obvious in the early inspiration, with relatively large and loud sounds. Coarse moist rales or large bubbling sound indicate a large amount of thin secretions in the trachea, main bronchi or cavity. In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, it is considered as a sign of phlegm turbidity.
[0072] In the western medical signs, wheezing sound is a high-pitched whistling sound in the expiratory phase. Wheezing sound indicates small bronchial spasm and stenosis, which is commonly seen in wheezing pneumonia, syncytial virus infection, some mycoplasma pneumonia and allergic factors. In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, it is closely related to lung qi stagnation and phlegm qi obstruction, and is an important sign of asthma.
[0073] In the western medical signs, weakened or disappeared breath sound indicates that the range of pulmonary consolidation is large, there is pleural effusion, pneumothorax or the bronchus is completely blocked. In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, it is considered as a serious state of lung qi stagnation or lung qi obstruction.
[0074] In the western medical signs, tubular breath sound or bronchial breath sound is similar to the breath sound heard in the trachea and main bronchus, with strong expiratory phase and high pitch. Tubular breath sound or bronchial breath sound indicates pulmonary consolidation, such as lung tissue densification and enhanced transmission, and also indicates lung qi obstruction.
[0075] Step S20, determining the type of TCM syndrome in the TCM syndrome differentiation type corresponding to the representation of the auscultation sound.
[0076] In the present embodiment, the representation of the auscultation sound is associated with the type of syndrome in the TCM syndrome differentiation type. After determining the representation of the auscultation sound, the type of syndrome in the TCM syndrome differentiation type corresponding to the representation of the auscultation sound is determined based on the association.
[0077] In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, TCM syndrome differentiation is to determine the type of syndrome, and the type of syndrome is the specific conclusion after syndrome differentiation, which are interrelated and provide basis for diagnosis and treatment of TCM. The occurrence and development of diseases are the result of physiological dysfunction of viscera, meridians, blood and other physiological functions under the action of pathogenic factors. TCM syndrome differentiation is to comprehensively analyze various symptoms, signs, medical history and other information of patients under the guidance of TCM theory, to identify the viscera and meridians of the disease, to judge the cause, nature and tendency of the disease, and to classify the disease into a certain specific syndrome type. Syndrome type is the embodiment of TCM syndrome differentiation. Syndrome type is a summary of the nature of the current stage of the disease, and a comprehensive summary of the cause, location, nature, and tendency of the disease at a certain stage.
[0078] In clinical practice, pediatricians (whether Western or Chinese medicine background) will pay great attention to the results of auscultation when diagnosing and treating children with pneumonia. TCM practitioners will organically integrate these results into the framework of TCM four diagnostic methods, making the syndrome more accurate and the treatment more targeted. The dynamic changes of auscultation sound are also one of the important objective indicators for evaluating the effect of TCM treatment of pneumonia.
[0079] Step S30, determining the TCM medication recommendation for the child to be diagnosed according to the Western medical signs and / or the TCM syndrome type.
[0080] Using the objectivity and accuracy of Western medical auscultation to enrich and verify the TCM auscultation and syndrome differentiation, and at the same time using the advantages of TCM holistic view and syndrome differentiation and treatment, individualized treatment according to pathogenesis can improve the symptoms of pneumonia and promote the absorption and recovery of lung inflammation.
[0081] Alternatively, the TCM medication recommendation for the child to be diagnosed is determined according to the Western medical signs. Different Western medical signs correspond to different TCM medication recommendations.
[0082] Alternatively, the TCM medication recommendation for the child to be diagnosed is determined according to the syndrome type. Different syndrome types correspond to different TCM medication recommendations. For example, for children with TCM syndrome differentiation of phlegm-heat obstructing lung, the TCM prescription may contain heat-clearing and phlegm-eliminating drugs such as Gualou and Beimu, and targeted medication can better regulate the body function of children and achieve the purpose of treating diseases.
[0083] Alternatively, the TCM medication recommendation for the child to be diagnosed is determined according to the Western medical signs and the syndrome type. The Western medical signs and the syndrome type are combined to determine the TCM medication recommendation.
[0084] In the technical scheme of the embodiment, the heart-lung auscultation sound signals of the child to be diagnosed are collected, the representation of the auscultation sound in the western medical auxiliary examination corresponding to the auscultation sound signals is determined, the western medical sign includes the representation of the auscultation sound, the TCM syndrome type in the TCM syndrome differentiation type corresponding to the representation of the auscultation sound is determined, and the TCM medication recommendation for the child to be diagnosed is determined according to the western medical sign and / or the TCM syndrome type. The relationship between the western medical sign and the TCM syndrome type is used to quickly diagnose and determine the syndrome type corresponding to the auscultation sound signals and the TCM medication recommendation, thereby improving the diagnosis speed of the child pneumonia and the timeliness of the treatment.
[0085] Based on any of the above embodiments of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as the above embodiments can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be described in detail. On this basis, please refer to Figure 2 , step S10 further includes:
[0086] Step S11, extracting the signal features of the auscultation sound signals, the signal features including at least one of time domain features, frequency domain features, time-frequency features and perception features;
[0087] Step S12, determining the western medical sign according to the signal features, the western medical sign including at least one of the representation of the auscultation sound, such as fine moist rales, coarse moist rales, wheezing sound, weakened or disappeared breath sound, and tubular breath sound.
[0088] In the embodiment, the time domain features include at least one of amplitude envelope, zero-crossing rate, energy, root mean square energy, peak amplitude, autocorrelation function; the frequency domain features include at least one of spectral centroid, spectral bandwidth, spectral spread, spectral flatness, spectral roll-off point, spectral flux, mel-frequency cepstral coefficient, chroma feature, and level contour feature; the time-frequency features include at least one of spectrogram, constant Q transform, and wavelet transform coefficient; and the perception features include at least one of loudness, pitch, and timbre.
[0089] Optionally, the signal features further include high-level features and feature combinations, wherein the high-level features include fundamental frequency and harmonic structure, feature statistics, feature difference, and feature combinations thereof.
[0090] The generation of moist rales is related to the secretion in the trachea, bronchus or bronchiole lumen, and the position of the moist rales can be determined by accurately analyzing the signal features of the auscultation sound, such as the position of the airway of large bubble sound and small bubble sound, and the number and nature of the moist rales, such as continuity or discontinuity. For wheezing sound, it can also be accurately judged whether it occurs in the expiratory phase or the inspiratory phase, and whether it is high-pitched or low-pitched wheezing sound, which is of great significance for diagnosing diseases such as bronchial asthma and asthmatic bronchitis.
[0091] Optionally, based on the acquired auscultation sound signal, an auscultation sound signal data set is obtained; the auscultation sound signal data set is normalized and signal denoising processed to obtain preprocessed auscultation sound signal data; the preprocessed auscultation sound signal data is feature extracted to determine the signal features of the auscultation sound signal data, including the mel frequency, and based on the mel frequency, the cepstrum analysis is performed to obtain the mel cepstrum coefficient of the auscultation sound signal. The mel frequency is a frequency scale related to the auditory characteristics of the human ear. By performing mel frequency analysis on the respiratory sound data, the human auditory system can better simulate the way of perceiving sound. This helps to highlight the frequency components related to diseases in the auscultation sound signal, such as abnormal sounds such as fine crackles, wheezing, etc. The frequency range in which the sound is located provides a more meaningful basis for subsequent feature extraction.
[0092] Optionally, the time domain features in the signal features include the respiratory cycle length and the abnormal sound duration ratio. The frequency domain features in the signal features include the principal component of the mel frequency cepstrum coefficient and the energy concentrated in a specific frequency band, such as 200-600Hz of fine crackles. Optionally, the signal features also include nonlinear features, including sample entropy, which is used to measure the complexity of respiratory sound. Optionally, the auscultation sound analysis includes time-frequency analysis, which uses short-time Fourier transform to locate the fine crackle sound segment, such as 200-600Hz.
[0093] The fine crackles, coarse crackles, wheezing, respiratory sound weakening, disappearance or extension, and tubular breath sounds in the representation of the auscultation sound can be respectively determined based on the description labels of the auscultation sound, such as the A-E sound features in the auscultation sound determined after training and feature analysis, so as to bind the A sound feature as fine crackles; the B sound feature is bound as coarse crackles; the C sound feature is bound as wheezing; the D sound feature is bound as respiratory sound; and the E sound feature is bound as tubular breath sound. Of course, it can also be bound based on other rules, which is not limited herein.
[0094] In an embodiment, a general parameter model for cardiopulmonary sound auscultation (Western medicine) and four diagnostic methods (TCM) is established, such as the program of the data processing model:

[0121] tcm_data['pulse'],
[0122] remove_baseline=True,
[0123] bandpass=(0.5, 40)# Pulse characteristic frequency band )
[0125] The core procedure for multimodal spatiotemporal alignment is as follows:
[0126] aligned_data = dynamic_alignment({
[0127] 'heart': extract_heart_features(heart_clean),

[0228] Table 3
[0229] In the technical scheme of the embodiment, the characteristics of the auscultation sound signals are extracted, the heart and lung audio is analyzed from multiple dimensions, and the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the western medical sign determination are improved. The western medical signs such as moist rales, breath sounds and wheezing sounds are determined according to the signal characteristics, and the pathological state of the heart and lung can be more accurately judged, so as to facilitate subsequent syndrome differentiation and classification of children to be diagnosed.
[0230] Based on any of the above embodiments of the present application, in the third embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as the above embodiments can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be described in detail. On this basis, please refer to Figure 4 , step S20 further comprises:
[0231] Step S21, according to at least one of the fine moist rales, the coarse moist rales, the wheezing sound, the breath sound weakening or disappearing, and the tubular breath sound, determining the TCM syndrome type in the TCM syndrome differentiation type corresponding to the representation of the auscultation sound.
[0232] Optionally, when there are dense fine moist rales and coarse moist rales, and accompanied by breath sound changes, wherein the breath sound changes include breath sound enhancement or weakening, the TCM syndrome type is determined as phlegm-heat closing lung syndrome. Optionally, when there are dense fine moist rales in the preset lung range, and there are tubular breath sound and breath sound weakening, the TCM syndrome type is determined as toxic heat closing lung syndrome; optionally, when there are coarse breath sounds in the early stage, and there are moist rales in the later stage, the TCM syndrome type is determined as wind-cold closing lung syndrome; optionally, when there are coarse breath sounds, and dense moist rales and wheezing sounds, the TCM syndrome type is determined as wind-heat closing lung syndrome; optionally, when the moist rales are reduced or disappeared, and the breath sound is normal, the TCM syndrome type is determined as yin deficiency and lung heat syndrome; optionally, when there is no rales or occasional moist rales, and the breath sound is normal or slightly weak, the TCM syndrome type is determined as lung and spleen qi deficiency syndrome.
[0233] The role of auscultation sound in TCM diagnosis and treatment is to assist in syndrome differentiation. Auscultation sound is an important evidence for judging the key elements of phlegm, heat, closing and wheezing. For example, moist rales indicate phlegm, and wheezing sound indicates qi closing and phlegm obstruction.
[0234] In an optional embodiment, other TCM data is obtained, the other TCM data including inspection data, smelling data and palpation data, the smelling data including sounds heard by the doctor and smells smelled by the doctor; according to at least one of the moist rales, the breath sound and the wheezing sound, and the other TCM data, the syndrome type in the TCM syndrome differentiation type corresponding to the western medical sign is determined.
[0235] Traditional Chinese medicine auscultation includes listening to sound and smell. Among them, the sound includes coughing sound, breathing sound, phlegm sound, crying sound, language sound, etc. The ancient Chinese medical books describe that the throat water chicken sound is similar to wheezing sound, the murmur sound is similar to moist rale, and the shortness of breath is directly corresponding to the modern auscultation findings of wheezing sound, moist rale and shortness of breath. In modern pediatric clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine, lung auscultation has become an indispensable extension and refinement of traditional Chinese medicine auscultation, and is an important embodiment of the objectification of traditional Chinese medicine four diagnoses. Doctors will include the auscultation results in the category of auscultation as an important objective basis for diagnosis.
[0236] Optionally, the auscultation sound includes dense fine moist rales, possibly accompanied by coarse moist rales, and the respiratory sound may be enhanced or weakened, and if accompanied by airway spasm, wheezing sound may be present. Other traditional Chinese medicine data include: high fever, severe cough, yellow and thick sputum or phlegm sound in the throat, shortness of breath, red face, dry mouth, red throat, red tongue with yellow and greasy fur, slippery and rapid pulse, and purple and sluggish fingerprints. At this time, the moist rale directly corresponds to the pathogenesis of phlegm heat accumulation, and the auscultation sound corresponds to the phlegm heat closing lung syndrome.
[0237] Optionally, the auscultation sound includes auscultation signs that are often more obvious and extensive, dense fine moist rales, tubular breathing sound, and weakened respiratory sound, which may be caused by severe inflammation and exudation. When the condition is critical, the auscultation may be atypical. Other traditional Chinese medicine data include high fever that does not subside, severe cough, severe wheezing, restlessness or mental debilitation, cyanotic lips, deep red or purple tongue, yellow and thick fur or little fur without saliva, rapid and fine pulse, and purple and dark fingerprints to the point of death. The extensive moist rales and consolidation signs reflect the severe pathogenesis of heat-toxicity, lung collateral obstruction, and sputum formation from the burning of saliva. At this time, the auscultation sound corresponds to the phlegm heat closing lung syndrome.
[0238] It should be noted that the enhancement or weakening or disappearance of the respiratory sound is in terms of the sound intensity of the normal respiratory sound. The enhancement of the respiratory sound is higher than the sound intensity of the normal respiratory sound, and the weakening or disappearance of the respiratory sound is lower than the sound intensity of the normal respiratory sound.
[0239] Optionally, the auscultation sound includes early possible auscultation without abnormalities or only rough respiratory sound. As the disease progresses, scattered moist rales may appear after sputum is generated. Other traditional Chinese medicine data include cold with high fever, light, no sweating, heavy coughing sound, thin and white sputum that is easy to cough, and later may turn yellow, nasal congestion with clear nasal discharge, dry mouth, no red throat, pale red tongue with thin white fur, tight pulse, and floating red fingerprints. Early auscultation negative or rough sound reflects the cold binding lung, and the lung qi fails to be diffused. The late moist rales suggest that cold evil enters the interior and generates heat and sputum or cold sputum blocks the lung. At this time, the auscultation sound corresponds to the wind-cold closing lung syndrome.
[0240] Optionally, the auscultation sound includes early rough breath sound, faster appearing scattered or more intensive moist rales, and possibly wheezing sound if airway is highly reactive. Other TCM data include heavy fever with aversion to cold, sweating, cough with yellow and sticky sputum, nasal obstruction with yellow discharge, thirst with red and sore throat, red and thin yellowish tongue fur on the edge of the tongue, floating and uneven pulse, and pale and purple finger print. Moist rales reflect the pathogenic wind-heat burning body fluid into phlegm, which blocks the airway. At this time, the auscultation sound corresponds to wind-heat obstructing lung syndrome.
[0241] Optionally, the auscultation sound includes reduced or disappeared moist rales, or only a few scattered moist rales, and possibly normal breath sound. Other TCM data include low fever or irregular fever, dry cough without or with little sputum, dry mouth and throat, hot hands and feet, night sweat, flushed face, red tongue with little fluid and little or peeled tongue fur, thin and rapid pulse, and pale and purple finger print. The auscultation sound indicates that the phlegm is gradually reduced, but the internal heat of yin deficiency is not cleared. At this time, the auscultation sound corresponds to yin deficiency and lung heat syndrome, which is commonly seen in the recovery or protracted stage of pneumonia.
[0242] Optionally, the auscultation sound includes usually no rales or only a few and rare moist rales, and possibly normal or slightly weak breath sound. Other TCM data include weak cough, white and clear sputum, shortness of breath, lazy speech, sweating when moving, loss of appetite, pale complexion, loose and thin stool, pale and swollen tongue with white and slippery fur, thin and weak pulse, and pale finger print. A small amount of thin rales or weak breath sound reflects lung and spleen qi deficiency, and weak transportation and transformation, with remaining phlegm not cleared or phlegm wetness generated internally. At this time, the auscultation sound corresponds to lung and spleen qi deficiency syndrome, which is commonly seen in the recovery or protracted stage of pneumonia.
[0243] In the technical solution of the present embodiment, different syndrome types differ in the manifestations of moist rales, breath sound, and wheezing sound. Western medical signs provide quantifiable indicators and objective basis for TCM differentiation, while TCM differentiation provides holistic concept and syndrome differentiation and treatment ideas for western medical treatment, which helps to break the discipline barriers between TCM and western medicine, and improve the accuracy and speed of pneumonia diagnosis.
[0244] Based on any of the above embodiments of the present application, in the fourth embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as the above embodiments can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be described hereinafter. On this basis, please refer to Figure 5 , step S30 further includes:
[0245] Step S31, when the western medical sign and / or the TCM syndrome type corresponds to moist rales, it is determined that the TCM medication recommendation includes phlegm-removing Chinese medicine;
[0246] Step S32, when the western medical sign and / or the TCM syndrome type corresponds to wheezing sound, it is determined that the TCM medication recommendation includes Chinese medicine for relieving asthma and opening lung, and for reducing qi and removing phlegm;
[0247] Step S33, when the Western medicine signs and / or the TCM syndrome types correspond to weakened respiratory sound or tubular respiratory sound, it is determined that the TCM medication recommendation includes TCMs for promoting lung and opening close, clearing heat and detoxifying;
[0248] Step S34, when the Western medicine signs and / or the TCM syndrome types correspond to disappearance of auscultation sound in the recovery period, it is determined that the TCM medication recommendation includes TCMs for nourishing yin and clearing lung or invigorating spleen and supplementing lung.
[0249] In this embodiment, the auscultation sound of pediatric pneumonia is a key sign for Western medicine to diagnose pneumonia, especially fine moist rales and wheezing sound. In the perspective of TCM, these auscultation sounds are an important part of auscultation, which directly reflects the core pathogenesis of phlegm, heat, close and asthma. The auscultation sound provides strong objective evidence and quantitative reference for TCM syndrome differentiation and typing.
[0250] In the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric pneumonia, TCM highly depends on and integrates the results of auscultation, which is one of the key bases for syndrome differentiation, prescription selection, especially the selection of phlegm-eliminating and asthma-relieving drugs, and the evaluation of curative effect and prognosis.
[0251] Optionally, when there is obvious moist rales, i.e. phlegm accumulation, the application of phlegm-eliminating drugs will be strengthened, such as Banxia, Chenpi, Fuling, Gualoupi, Danshanxi and Zhulixie. Optionally, when there is wheezing sound, i.e. qi close and phlegm obstruction, the drugs for relieving asthma and opening lung and descending qi and eliminating phlegm will be focused on, such as Mahuang, Xingren, Tingshiliu, Sushi, Qianhu, Dilong, etc. Optionally, when there are extensive consolidation signs and weakened / tubular respiratory sound, it indicates that lung close is serious, and the drugs for promoting lung and opening close and clearing heat and detoxifying should be used more, such as Maxingshigan Decoction plus clearing heat and detoxifying drugs. Optionally, when the auscultation sound disappears or basically disappears in the recovery period, the treatment focus will be shifted to nourishing yin and clearing lung or invigorating spleen and supplementing lung.
[0252] In an optional embodiment, after step S30, it further includes: during the treatment process, a new auscultation sound signal of the pediatric patient to be diagnosed is reacquired; a new Western medicine sign corresponding to the new auscultation sound signal is determined; a sign change between the Western medicine sign before the treatment and the new Western medicine sign is determined, the sign change including changed signs and degrees of change; the severity of the disease and the recovery of the pediatric patient to be diagnosed are determined according to the sign change, which is used to prompt whether the TCM medication recommendation needs to be adjusted.
[0253] It should be noted that the reduction, narrowing of range, and decrease in density of moist rales and the alleviation or disappearance of wheezing sound during the treatment process are important objective indicators for judging whether the TCM and overall treatment are effective, whether the phlegm-heat is subsided, and whether the lung close is opened.
[0254] During the treatment process, by reacquiring new auscultation signals and determining new Western medicine signs, the subtle changes in the condition of children can be understood in a timely and dynamic manner. This helps doctors to grasp the development trend of the disease in real time and avoid misjudgment or delay in treatment due to hidden changes in the condition. According to the changes in the signs, it is determined whether the TCM medication recommendation needs to be adjusted, so that the treatment is more targeted and timely. This avoids unnecessary or inappropriate use of drugs, improves treatment effectiveness, and reduces the pain and economic burden of patients. The combination of Western medicine sign monitoring and TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment fully utilizes the advantages of both. Through the changes in signs, the adjustment of TCM medication is guided, making the combination of TCM and Western medicine treatment more closely and coordinated, and improving the overall treatment effect.
[0255] In the technical solution in this embodiment, according to different Western medicine signs and TCM syndrome types, the corresponding TCM medication recommendation is accurately matched, and through accurate drug treatment, the symptoms can be effectively relieved, the disease progression can be controlled, the disease course can be shortened, and the children patients can recover faster, reducing the damage of the disease to the body. The medication strategies for different disease stages and different signs are covered, from reducing phlegm, relieving asthma, and promoting lung to restoring the lung and spleen, forming a complete treatment system, which can comprehensively improve the lung function of patients and promote the improvement of the disease.

[0262] Optionally, by grouping the medical diagnosis data of pediatric pneumonia patients according to one or more of the type information such as age, pathogen type, and course stage, the pediatric pneumonia patients with different characteristics can be analyzed hierarchically. This helps doctors more accurately grasp the disease characteristics and disease rules of different pediatric pneumonia patient groups, thereby improving the pertinence and accuracy of diagnosis.
[0263] It should be noted that the pathogen type includes bacterial, viral, atypical pathogen, fungal, etc. For example, the bacterial type includes Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, etc., the viral type includes influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, human metapneumovirus, etc., the atypical pathogen includes mycoplasma pneumonia, chlamydia pneumonia, etc., and the fungal type includes Aspergillus, Candida, etc. The course stage of pneumonia can be divided into several stages according to the pathophysiological changes, clinical manifestations and treatment response, and the course characteristics of different pathogen types are different.
