“…These people are susceptible to skin eruptions, drug allergies, asthma, seasonal changes, and other environmental allergens [24]. A larger proportion of unbalanced body constitution types have been found in patients who suffered from depression than those with a balanced body constitution [23,[25][26][27][28][29].…”

Depression is commonly observed in university students, who are a high risk group for developing psychiatric disorders during adulthood. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of depression and its traditional Chinese medicine body constitutions and psychological determinants among university students in Malaysia. A cross-sectional pilot study was conducted between 9 and 28 September 2020 among 80 university students in Malaysia. Participants completed online survey questionnaires, including the validated Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire (CMCQ), Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS), Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) stress subscale, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), which assess depression, body constitution, dysfunctional attitude, stress, perceived stress, and self-esteem. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to determine the associated risk factors for depression. The overall prevalence of depression among university students was 33.8%. The multiple regression analysis showed a significant relationship between depression and qi-stagnation constitution (B = 0.089, p = 0.011), balanced constitution (B = −0.077, p = 0.049), and self-esteem (B = −0.325, p = 0.001). Our findings suggest that some traditional Chinese medicine body constitutions and self-esteem are significant risk factors affecting depression among university students. Identifying risk factors of depression is vital to aid in the early detection of depression among university students.

INTRODUCTION Smoking cessation is an efficient approach to reducing disease burden. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapies such as acupuncture, acupressure, and herbal drugs are often used to help quit smoking. However, there is a lack of overarching bibliometric analysis of the clinical research on smoking cessation focusing on TCM. The aim of our study is to explore the current patterns and trends of TCM therapy for smoking cessation through bibliometric methods with visual presentation. METHODS This study is an assessment of academic publications retrieved from the Scopus database on smoking cessation using TCM therapy published in the period 2005-2021. Sankey diagram, word-cloud, network analysis, thematic maps, treemaps, and the collaborative work of authors, institutions and countries, were used to identify research trends on TCM therapy for smoking cessation. The total cited index and H-index (for journals, authors, countries, organizations) were used to identify the trends of worldwide development by R Package and Excel 2016. RESULTS There was an upward trend, with some fluctuations, of 1908 articles from 2005 to 2021. The most productive country was China. The top institution in this field was Beijing University. The dominant author that contributed to TCM therapy for smoking cessation was Wang Y, who has the highest H-Index. The most productive cited journals were Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicines and the Chinese Journal of Clinical Rehabilitation. Liu L, (2011, STROKE) had the highest centrality. The keywords 'acupuncture', 'traditional Chinese medicine', 'colitis', 'hypertension', 'chronic obstructive pulmonary disease', 'risk factors' and 'alternative medicine' ranked highest in frequency. The diseases of healthy people concerned mainly cardiovascular, cancer, diabetes, hypertension and pregnancy. The diseases of the patients concerned mainly cancer, diabetes, hematopathy, stroke, cardiovascular, diabetes, lung disease, and hypertension. Treatment methods were mainly traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. The research methods mainly included randomized controlled trials that were multi-center and double-blind. CONCLUSIONS A substantial number of articles on TCM therapy for smoking cessation, mainly focusing on TCM and acupuncture were identified. It is worth noting that research that focused on TCM therapy for smoking cessation also was related to COVID-19.

“…The constitution of Qi-depressed in TCM and psychological illnesses in Western medicine is not entirely matching [31]. The key reason is the symptoms of psychological illnesses, which include emotional abnormalities and mood disorders, while the constitution of Qi-depressed is described by both psychological and physiological dysfunctions that includes hypochondriac and chest fullness, and also throat barricade sensation [32]. Thus, Qi-depressed constitution couldn't be measured as the manifestations of psychological diseases.…”

The term Traditional Chinese Medicine Constitution denotes the unwavering of the body's physical and psychological features. Unbalanced TCMCs generate vulnerability to diseases. This investigation examined the dissemination of the TCMCs of Chinese healthy women and those with breast cancer in Hong Kong to appraise the TCMC efficiency. Healthy woman (n=305) and women with BC (n=305) were recruited for this study to analyze the Physical Constitution Scale in TCM, thereby determining the types of TCMC. The sociodemographic data and connected BC risk factors were prepared using questionnaires. The association of unbalanced types of TCMC with BC was determined by multiple factor analysis. The percentage of unbalanced TCMC viz., Qi-depressed, Yin-deficiency, Blood stasis, Qi-deficiency, and Wetness-heat in BC patients was significantly greater than in healthy individuals (p<0.05). The analysis of stepwise logistic regression specified the constitution of Qi-depressed was positively correlated with BC (CI 1.49-6.92; OR=3.21). The correlation noteworthy enhanced when the Qi-depressed constitutions shared with Wetness-heat OR=4.82) or Blood-stasis OR=3.27). The grouping of both constitutions was connected to BC (CI 1.02-8.17; OR=2.88). The constitution of qi-depressed was an independent risk factor for BC. Similarly, the constitutions of Wetness-heat and Blood-stasis could also act as major functions in the incidence of BC when grouped with Qi-depressed. This outcome suggests that the unbalanced types of TCMC might be inconsistent in the individual with vulnerabilities to BC, proposing the possibility of Chinese constitutional analysis a potential strategy in detecting the vulnerable populace to BC and the corresponding inhibition of BC.
