Abstract:

Objective To collate and analyze Professor Wang Xiaoming's traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) prescriptions for pediatric food accumulation and stagnation, and summarize her clinical experience in medication for pediatric food accumulation and stagnation. Methods Prescription data from the outpatient department of Wang Xiaoming's Distinguished TCM Practitioner Studio in Zhejiang Province from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2024 were collated and screened. Statistical software was employed to perform frequency analysis, analysis of medicinal properties (nature, flavor, channel tropism), analysis of medicinal efficacy, association rule analysis, and cluster analysis of the constituent herbs. Results A total of 382 prescriptions were screened out, identifying 19 high-frequency herbs. These herbs predominantly targeted the spleen, lung, stomach, and liver channels, with bitter, sweet, and pungent flavors being most common, and cold, warm, and neutral properties prevailing. The most frequently used herbs belonged to the categories of digestion-promoting, deficiency-tonifying and qi-regulating medicinals. The second-order association rule with the highest support was Fuling-Jineijin.The third-order association rule with the highest support was Baizhu-Fuling-Jineijin.Cluster analysis of high-frequency core herbs revealed two combinations. Conclusion Professor Wang's treatment for pediatric food accumulation and stagnation focuses on the core pathogenesis of "food accumulation leading to impaired spleen transportation, and qi stagnation, often accompanied by internal heat or liver qi stagnation." She establishes the core therapeutic principles of "promoting digestion and removing stagnation, strengthening the spleen and boosting qi, and regulating qi and harmonizing the middle Jiao." Innovatively, she emphasizes the simultaneous treatment of the liver and spleen and the clearance of stagnated heat.
