Objective To observe the distribution features of Gan depression qi stagnation syndrome (GDQSS) , and to analyze the correlation between GDQSS scores and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level in adolescent polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients. Methods Disease location and disease nature were syndrome identified in PCOS outpatients confirmed at Department of Gynecology, Ningbo Municipal Hospital of TCM. Totally 110 patients in line with GDQSS were graded by GDQSS score from low to high. GDQSS score ranging 70 -100 belonged to grade I (mild) ; 101 -150 to grade II (moderate) ; >150 to grade III (severe). The correlation between the severity of GDQSS and TSH level was an- alyzed using Pearson and Partial correlation analyses. Results Levels of TSH, testosterone (T) , pro- lactin (PRL) were the lowest in grade I GDQSS patients, and they were the highest in grade lIl GDQSS patients (P <0. 01). Pearson correlation analysis showed that GDQSS score was positively correlated with TSH level (r =0. 676, P <0. 01). They were still positively correlated by using Partial correlation after controlling body mass index (BMI) , waist hip ratio (WHR) , homeostasis model of assessment-insulin resistance (HOMR-IR) factors (r =0. 663, P <0. 01). Conclusion Adolescent PCOS patients with obvi- ous GDQSS symptoms might be associated with increased TSH level. |
