Description

  The present invention relates to a medical Kampo formulation selection support system that assists a doctor or a pharmacist to easily select a medical Kampo formulation suitable for a patient when prescribing a medical Kampo formulation, and a medical device provided in the system The present invention relates to a traditional Chinese medicine formulation database and a medical herbal medicine selection support program implemented in the system.

  Currently, over 100 kinds of medical Kampo preparations are used in insurance practice. In addition, the indications of these medical Kampo preparations are different from each other. Therefore, it is not easy to accurately grasp the indications of all medical Kampo formulations. There are handbooks and databases that summarize the indications for medical Kampo preparations, but it was not easy to prescribe medical Kampo preparations suitable for patients using them as explained below. .

  Various information on each medical Kampo formulation is described in the conventional handbook and database that summarizes individual information on multiple medical Kampo formulations. It can be suitably used when examining adaptation and the like. However, there is a problem in using it when selecting a medical Kampo formulation suitable for the patient. For example, when searching for traditional Chinese medicine preparations based on indications from a database of conventional Chinese medicine preparations, it is possible to find medical Kampo preparations belonging to the indications, but the expressions are slightly different from the indications. Medical Kampo preparations belonging to indications (eg “abdominal pain” and “digestion” etc.) could not be found. In other words, in order to list all medical Kampo preparations that should be originally examined using a database of conventional medical Kampo preparations, it has been necessary to search for all indications with slightly different expressions.

  As described above, finding a medical Kampo formulation suitable for a patient from a conventional database requires skill such as grasping subtle differences in adaptive expressions, and it is extremely difficult for those who are unfamiliar with it. Met. For this reason, when selecting the medical Chinese medicine formulation to prescribe, the system which assists the selection is considered until now (the following nonpatent literature 1). In such a system, a medical Kampo formulation suitable for a patient is presented by answering questions prepared in advance.

  On the other hand, several so-called western medicines have been conceived so far in which a suitable medicine can be selected when prescribing (Patent Documents 1 to 3 below).

Kampo prescription selection support system, [online], [Search February 25, 2009], Internet <URL: http://www.az-prolog.com/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=13>

  As described above, it has been difficult to find a medical Kampo formulation suitable for a patient only by adaptation from a conventional database. Further, the system described in Non-Patent Document 1 is very troublesome because a Chinese medicine suitable for the patient cannot be found unless many questions are answered. Furthermore, because there are differences between medical Kampo preparations and Western medicines, systems targeting Western medicines as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 4 above could not be applied to medical Kampo preparations. . The difference between medical Kampo preparations and Western medicines is that, for example, Western medicines are clearly classified based on their functions, such as antipyretic analgesics and antihypertensive drugs. In contrast, the indications for medical Kampo preparations are determined based on the patient's symptoms, the expressions of the symptoms are diverse, and there is a medical Kampo preparation that belongs to only one indication. Because there are few, it is not clearly classified, and it was not easy to search for drugs suitable for patients. Furthermore, even with the same indications for medical Kampo preparations, it was difficult to search for drugs because of variations in their expressions.

  Accordingly, the present invention provides a medical Kampo formulation selection support system for assisting a doctor or a pharmacist to easily select a medical Kampo formulation suitable for a patient when prescribing the Kampo formulation for medical use. It is an object of the present invention to provide a medical Kampo formulation database to be provided and a medical Kampo formulation selection support program implemented in the system.

  The inventors of the present invention paid attention to information unique to Chinese medicine called “differentiation”. Traditional Chinese medicines that need to be identified are those that have similarities in indications and should determine which Chinese medicine to use in the actual prescription. That is, it can be said that the traditional Chinese medicine requiring discrimination is a traditional Chinese medicine. The present inventors used this information for searching medical Kampo formulations. Then, the present inventors perform all medical Kampo preparations by connecting one medical Kampo preparation to a medical Kampo preparation that requires differentiation from the medical Kampo preparation. It was found that a large network structure connected with the drug product can be constructed. In the past, it was difficult to examine the full range of connections between medical Kampo preparations, and the choice of medical Kampo preparations to be prescribed had to rely on the knowledge of medical professionals. It was not easy to search for a suitable medical Kampo formulation. However, the present inventors have obtained the knowledge that the network structure can be constructed, and have completed the present invention by using the network structure to solve the above problems. In the following description of the present invention, a medical Kampo formulation is described, but the present invention is also applicable to other Chinese medicines.

<Configuration of medical Kampo preparation selection support system>
The medical Kampo formulation selection support system 100 of the present invention is realized by an information processing terminal such as a personal computer, for example. FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically showing a functional configuration of a medical Kampo formulation selection support system 100.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a medical Kampo formulation selection support system 100 includes a control unit 10 that controls the entire system, a storage unit 20 that stores various information such as a medical Kampo formulation selection support program 22 and control data. The input unit 30 performs an input operation of various types of information such as search conditions for medical Kampo preparations, and the display unit 40 displays various types of information such as search results. As a specific example, the control unit 10 is a CPU, the storage unit 20 is a disk drive, the input unit 30 is a keyboard or a mouse, and the display unit 40 is a display. Although FIG. 1 illustrates an example in which the storage unit 20 is provided in one terminal, a configuration in which the storage unit 20 is installed and shared with a server via a LAN or the like is also possible.

  The control unit 10 includes a search processing unit 11, and the search processing unit 11 is provided in the storage unit 20 based on a search condition input by an operator (for example, a doctor or a pharmacist) using the input unit 30. The medical Kampo preparation database 21 is searched for medical Kampo preparations.

  The medical Kampo preparation selection support program 22 is a program that causes the search processing unit 11 to execute a search process and causes the display unit 40 to display the medical Kampo preparation that has been searched by the search process. Here, the search process refers to searching for an appropriate medical Kampo formulation from the medical Kampo formulation database 21 based on a part of the medical Kampo formulation information, and is linked to the searched medical Kampo formulation by link information. This is a process of searching for medical Kampo preparations for medical use.

  The medical Kampo formulation database 21 provided in the storage unit 20 stores medical Kampo formulation information and link information for linking medical Kampo formulations that require discrimination. A configuration example of information stored in the medical Kampo preparation database 21 is shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the medical Kampo formulation database 21 contains, for example, the Kampo number, product name, certificate, and medical Kampo formulation information of each medical Kampo formulation and a certain medical Kampo formulation. Stores link information linked to medical Kampo preparations that need to be distinguished from medical Kampo preparations. The Kampo number, product name, certificate, and medical Kampo preparation information for each item are stored in the corresponding information area. An example of a link relationship based on link information is schematically shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 3, the link relationship centering on Kakkonto (product name) is illustrated. As shown in FIG. 3, according to the link information stored in the information column of the discrimination of Kakkonyu, from Kakkonyu, Kakkonyu Kagawa cucumber hot pepper, Maoyu, Katsue hot water, perfumed acid, Sasa kakkonto, and There is a link to the medical herbal preparation information of Mao Bushi Shosaito (all product names) (see arrows). This setting is based on the premise that the medical herbal preparations that require discrimination between Kakkonto are Kakkonyu Kagawa cucumber hot pepper, Maoyu, Keieda hot water, Kasou acid, Sasa kakkonto, and Mao-bushi shoshinto Is.

  The link information is conceptually described using the Kampo number. For example, the link information of Kakkonto with the Kampo number 1 is “1-2”, “1-27”, “1-45”, “1-70”. ”,“ 1-101 ”, and“ 1-127 ”, Kakkonto (base medical Kampo preparation) and Kakkonyu Kagawa kuyu, Mao-to, Keishi-to, Kasou-acid, Soma-Kakkon-to , And Mao-bushi-shoshin-to (linkable medical Kampo preparation). In this description, the Chinese medicine number of the basic medical Kampo preparation is indicated on the left side of “-”, and the linked medical Kampo preparation is indicated on the right side of “-”. Similarly, the link information of the Kakkon Yukagawa Kyu hot pepper with the Kampo number 2 is “2-1”, “2-50”, “2-104”, and “2-19”.

  The search processing unit 11 of the medical Kampo formulation selection support system 100 having the medical Kampo formulation database 21 storing such information content selects an adaptation as a retrieval method and selects an appropriate adaptation as a retrieval condition, as will be described in detail later. Is entered from the medical Kampo preparation database 21 for medical Kampo preparations belonging to the indication. When Kakkonto is searched through such a process, Kakkonto's Chinese medicine number, product name, testimony, and adaptation information can be searched from each corresponding information column for the information registration area about Kakkonto. In addition, since the link information is stored in the identification information field in the information registration area, the search processing unit 11 is based on each link information and is a medical herbal preparation that requires differentiation from Kakkonto. By accessing the information registration areas about Kyu-San, Mao-Yu, Katsue-do, Kasou-acid, Sasa-Kakkon-to, and Mao-Bonsai-Sai-to, you can find the Kampo number, product name, Medical herbal medicine information consisting of evidence and indication, and link information can be searched.

  Furthermore, the medical Kampo formulation selection support system 100 displays on the display unit 40 a search result including medical Kampo formulation information and link information of each item retrieved by the search process in the search processing unit 11 in a predetermined form. Has the function of

  As described above, as information on medical Kampo preparations searched by the processing in the search processing unit 11, in addition to information on medical Kampo preparations belonging to the indication input by the operator, the medical Kampo preparations are distinguished from the medical Kampo preparations. It also includes information on the necessary medical Kampo preparations (medical Kampo preparations linked by link information).

  As a result, the medical Kampo preparation information of each item searched by the search processing unit 11 can be appropriately determined so that the correspondence between the input medical Kampo preparation belonging to the input indication and the medical Kampo preparation requiring differentiation is clearly understood. If the display is performed on the display unit 40, the operator who performed the search sees the displayed search result, and the medical Kampo formulation belonging to the indication he / she entered, and the medical Kampo formulation It becomes possible to easily know medical Kampo preparations that require discrimination. That is, a medical Kampo formulation more suitable for the patient is easily selected from among the medical Kampo formulation belonging to the indication input by the operator and the medical Kampo formulation belonging to the indication similar to the indication of the medical Kampo formulation. It becomes possible. In addition, the medical Kampo preparation that belongs to the indication first input by the operator is a group A, and any one of the group B or B When the medical Kampo preparation that needs to be differentiated from these medical Kampo preparations is set as Group C, it is also possible to select a medical Kampo preparation more suitable for the patient from Group A, B and C. is there.

  Thus, the medical Kampo formulation suitable for the patient can always be found by performing a search using the link information connecting medical Kampo formulations that require discrimination. The basis for this will be described below.

  As described above, all medical Kampo formulations are linked by linking one medical Kampo formulation to a medical Kampo formulation that requires differentiation from the medical Kampo formulation. Large network structure. That is, since the search object has this one large network structure, when a medical Kampo formulation is first retrieved by some method, the medical Kampo formulation and other medical Kampo formulations are directly or indirectly determined by link information. You can reach any medical Kampo formulation by following the link. Therefore, the medical Kampo formulation most suitable for the patient can be found by searching the medical Kampo formulation more suitable for the patient while following the link. However, with some exceptions, there are medical Kampo preparations that are one-way links. That is, for one medical Kampo formulation, the other medical Kampo formulation is a medical Kampo formulation that needs to be differentiated, but the reverse is not possible, so it is the starting point of the link, but not the end point. There are medical Kampo formulations that cannot be obtained. It is one of the benefits brought about by the construction of the network structure that the existence of medical Kampo preparations with such exceptional characteristics can be grasped.

  Previously, there was no database linked with information on medical Kampo preparations based on discrimination as in the present invention, and no examples of actual construction of the comprehensive network structure as described above were known. It depends. In addition, the details of the characteristics of the network structure constructed using all the discrimination data as link information are not known, and it has not been known that a network structure usable for searching as described above can be constructed. Here, the characteristics of the network structure constructed using all the discrimination data as link information include, for example, the presence / absence of the termination (dead end) of the network constructed by the link information and the one-way structure described above. This means items that can only be proved by examining the entire network that has been comprehensively constructed, such as whether or not it is in the part. The present invention was completed when the inventors first constructed such an exhaustive network structure.

  In addition, when using a conventional database, as described above, in order to search for medical Kampo preparations based on indications and to list all candidates to be examined, it is necessary to search for all indications of slightly different expressions. did not become. Therefore, there is a possibility that candidates to be examined from the database are missed. On the other hand, according to the present invention, even when a medical Kampo formulation suitable for the patient cannot be found when searching based on indications, the link is traced from the medical Kampo formulation based on the link information. By doing so, it is possible to list candidates to be examined without missing from the network structure.

  Moreover, by constructing the network structure as described above, the relationship between any two medical Kampo preparations can be explored and a medical Kampo preparation more suitable for the patient can be found. For example, when selecting which of the two medical Kampo preparations that belong to the same or similar indications should be prescribed, follow the link from one to the other to identify the difference in usage between the two. It is possible to determine at which point in the process of following the medical Kampo preparations to be used. Therefore, the operator can find a medical Kampo formulation more suitable for the patient, which the operator did not know, by looking at the relationship between a plurality of known Chinese Kampo formulations.

  In the description of the present invention so far, the form in which the link is followed after searching for the medical Kampo preparation based on the adaptation has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this form. For example, a link may be traced after searching for a medical Kampo formulation based on other Kampo formulation information such as a Kampo number or product name. That is, after specifying a medical Kampo preparation by some method, the link may be followed.

<Operation procedure of medical herbal medicine selection support system>
Next, an operation procedure when the operator searches for a medical Kampo preparation using the medical Kampo preparation selection support system 100 will be sequentially described.

  When the medical Kampo formulation selection support system 100 is started up and put into a standby state, for example, a Kampo list window 41 having display contents shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the Chinese medicine list window 41 has a search method setting field 42, a medical Chinese medicine information display field 43, a discrimination display field 44, and a medical Chinese medicine preparation display field 45.

  In the medical Kampo formulation display column 45, the names of all medical Kampo formulations registered in the medical Kampo formulation database 21 are displayed (not shown), and are displayed in the medical Kampo formulation display column 45. By placing the cursor on the name of the medical Kampo product that is being used, the medical Kampo formulation information of the medical Kampo formulation that the cursor is on is displayed in the medical Kampo formulation information display field 43 and the cursor is moved The Chinese medicine number of the medical Chinese medicine formulation that needs to be differentiated from the medical Chinese medicine preparation being displayed is displayed in the discrimination display column 44. The search method setting field 42 will be described in detail later.

  And with respect to operation by an operator, the medical Chinese medicine formulation selection support system 100 performs the process according to the flowchart shown in FIG.5, FIG.6, and FIG.12. For example, the search processing unit 11 reads the medical Kampo preparation selection support program 22 stored in the storage unit 20 and executes the process based on the medical Kampo preparation selection support program 22.

  As described above, the medical Kampo formulation selection support system 100 displays the Kampo list window 41 on the display unit 40 during standby (S51), and if the navigation menu is selected (S52 YES), the navigation described in detail later. Can be used. In the following, a procedure for searching for a medical Kampo preparation without selecting a navigation menu (S52NO) will be described.

  If the operator already knows the product name or Kampo number for the medical Kampo formulation that the operator wants to check (S53 YES) and can select the medical Kampo formulation from the medical Kampo medicine display column 45, the medical Kampo formulation display column By positioning the cursor on the name of the medical herbal preparation displayed in 45, the medical herbal preparation information of the medical herbal preparation on which the cursor is placed is displayed in the medical herbal preparation information display field 43. At the same time, the Chinese medicine number of the medical Chinese medicine preparation that needs to be distinguished from the medical Chinese medicine preparation to which the cursor is placed is displayed in the discrimination display field 44 (S58).

  On the other hand, when the operator does not know the product name or the Kampo number for the medical Kampo formulation that the operator wants to check (S53 NO), the operator selects a search method for the medical Kampo formulation on the Kampo list window 41 (S54). Specifically, the search method can be selected by selecting and clicking any of the evidence tab 421, the adaptation tab 422, and the index tab 423 in the search method setting field 42. FIG. 4 shows a state where the certificate tab 421 is clicked.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the state where the proof tab 421 is clicked, “demonstration”, “slightly proof”, “medium”, “slightly proof”, and “proof” are displayed below the search method setting field 42. And check boxes 425, 426, 427, 428, and 429 corresponding to the displays. By checking (clicking) one or more of the check boxes (S55), the search is automatically started (S56), and the name of the medical herbal preparation corresponding to the certificate corresponding to the checked check box, etc. Is displayed darkly in the medical Kampo preparation display column 45, and other medical Kampo preparations are displayed lightly (S57). For example, if the check boxes 425 and 426 are checked (S55), the names of medical herbal preparations belonging to the categories of “demonstration” and “somewhat demonstration” are displayed darkly in the medical Kampo preparation display column 45, The medical Kampo preparation is displayed lightly (S57). Note that medical Kampo preparations do not necessarily belong to any one of the categories of “demonstration”, “somewhat demonstration”, “medium”, “somewhat false”, and “false”. Among the categories, there are medical Kampo preparations that belong to multiple categories.

  When searching by adaptation, by clicking the adaptation tab 422 (S54), a search key input field 60 is displayed below the search method setting field 42 as shown in FIG. When a keyword is input in the search key input field 60 (for example, “cold”), the adaptation including the keyword is displayed in the candidate display field 61 at the bottom of the search key input field 60 as shown in FIG. Is done. By selecting one of the indications displayed in the candidate display column 61 (S55), the search is automatically started (S56), and the name of the medical Kampo formulation belonging to the indication is displayed in the medical Kampo formulation display column 45. The other medical Kampo preparations are displayed lightly (S57). For example, when searching for “nasal cold”, Kakkonto is displayed darkly in the medical Kampo preparation display field 45, and other medical Kampo preparations are displayed lightly.

  When searching by the product name index, by clicking the index tab 423 (S54), the keyword input field 70 is displayed in the search method setting field 42 as shown in FIG. By inputting an appropriate keyword in the keyword input field 70 (S55), a search for a medical Kampo preparation containing the keyword in the product name is automatically started (S56). It is displayed darkly in the medical Kampo preparation display column 45, and other medical Kampo preparations are displayed lightly (S57). For example, if "Kakkonto" is entered in the keyword input field 70, Kakkonto, Kakkonyu Kagawa Kyu-Kan, and Satsuma Kakkonto are displayed darkly in the medical Kampo preparation display field 45, and other medical Kampo preparations. Is displayed lightly.

  Next, of the medical herbal preparations searched by any of the methods described above, when the cursor is placed on the medical herbal preparation to be examined on the medical herbal preparation display field 45, the medical herbal medicine that the cursor is on The medical Kampo formulation information of the formulation is displayed, and the Kampo number of the medical Kampo formulation that requires discrimination of the medical Kampo formulation to which the cursor is placed is displayed in the discrimination display field 44 (S58).

  If it is determined that further examination is performed using the link information (YES in S61), first, the discrimination tab 424 is clicked (S62). Then, as shown in FIG. 9, “Display a discrimination link by right clicking” is displayed. By placing the cursor on an appropriate medical herbal preparation displayed in the medical herbal preparation display field 45 and right-clicking (S63), the medical herbal preparation that needs to be differentiated from the medical herbal preparation becomes a medical herbal preparation. In addition to being displayed darkly in the display field 45, the medical Kampo preparation that the cursor is set to and the line connecting the medical Kampo preparation that needs to be differentiated are displayed in the medical Kampo preparation display field 45. (S64).

  Specifically, if you want to search for medical Kampo preparations that are suitable for “cold” and search for them without omissions and examine other similar Kampo preparations or more appropriate for the patient, As described above, the adaptation tab 422 is clicked, and a search for “cold” is performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 10A, four medical Chinese medicine preparations are displayed darkly in the medical Chinese medicine preparation display column 45. In this, Keisetsu-yu (Chinese medicine number: 45) is considered appropriate, and in order to examine whether Keisetsu-yu is really good, a search by “differentiation” is started. That is, by clicking on the discrimination tab 424 and placing the cursor on Katsuedo on the medical Kampo formulation display column 45 and right-clicking, the medical Kampo formulation display column 45 is displayed as shown in FIG. Kakkon-to (Kampo No. 1), Mao-to (27), Kososan (70), and Mao-bushi Shosaito (127) are medical Kampo preparations that need to be distinguished from Keieda-to. In addition to being displayed dark, a line connecting these and Keieda-yu is displayed. These are medical Kampo preparations to be examined, and these five are examined according to the patient's condition. For example, when there is general malaise, Mao-bushi-saishin-to can be selected. If further examination is desired, medical Kampo preparations that need to be distinguished from other medical Kampo preparations can be displayed at the same time (S66 YES).

  As described above, search results are isolated by simply searching with a keyword or the like, but by organizing the above-described network structure, information can be organized and enriched. For example, when searching for a medical Kampo preparation whose indication is “abdominal pain”, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), Tokiyaku Yakusan (Chinese medicine number: 23), Daiken Nakayu (100), Katsueka Kayaku (60), Toki (102), and Gakuto (115) are obtained, but the search results are isolated. However, by superimposing the search results based on the link information, the relationship between the medical Kampo preparations can be grasped more clearly as shown in FIG. It can also be understood that there is a related medical Kampo formulation in addition to the medical Kampo formulation obtained by first searching. In addition, in FIG. 11, the display method and position of a medical Chinese medicine formulation are shown with the form different from an actual for convenience of explanation.

  Next, a procedure when using navigation will be described. The medical herbal preparation selection support system 100 has a function of searching for a relationship between any two medical herbal preparations and finding a medical herbal preparation more suitable for the patient by using the network structure described above. ing. In the waiting state, the medical Kampo formulation selection support system 100 displays the Kampo list window 41 on the display unit 40 (S51), and from the menu list displayed by clicking the display button 46 of the Kampo list window 41. A navigation menu can be selected.
