碩士 === 長庚大學 === 傳統中國醫學研究所 === 94 === The patterns of block and desertion or yin and yang were used to identify the stroke patients with conscious disturbance or shock in traditional Chinese medicine. The block-desertion-yin-yang pattern identification, including block-desertion and yin-yang of brain, is used in the brain illness with conscious disturbance e.g. stroke. The whole yin-yang pattern identification is used in the systemic disease e.g. shock. The severity scores of the block-desertion patterns from small to large and prognoses from good to poor are block, block-desertion mixed, and desertion pattern in stroke patients with conscious disturbance. The block-desertion patterns are more relevant with the neurological system. The significant severity scores of the block-desertion-yin-yang patterns from small to large and prognoses from good to poor are yang block, block-desertion mixed, and yin type of desertion pattern. The survival rates of whole yin-yang patterns in the shock patients from high to low are yang, yin-yang mixed, and yin pattern which are compatible with the severity scores of APACHE II and APACHE III. The mean survival times in the shock patients from long to short are yin-yang mixed, yang, and yin pattern which are compatible with the LOD scores. The main difference is between the yang and yin pattern. There are correlations among the prognoses, whole yin-yang pattern identification, and the kidney system.
