| Objective:This study focuses on the pathogenesis theory of "internal heat injuring yin" in Type 2 diabetes(Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus,T2DM)mediated by "Eryang knots are called elimination" in "Nei Jing",to explore the clinical characteristics of yin deficiency syndrome in T2DM(including prediabetes and diabetes),and based on the "bacteria" Group-metabolite"pathogenic theory,preliminary exploration of the biological basis of T2DM yin deficiency syndrome,in order to explain the scientific connotation of "internal heat damage yin" caused by "two yang knots are called elimination".details as follows:1.Based on Delphi method and AHP,item selection and weight assignment of"syndrome differentiation scale of yin deficiency syndrome of type 2 diabetes" were carried out.Through clinical cross-sectional study,the clinical phenotype characteristics of T2DM Yin deficiency syndrome were initially explored,and a prediction model was established to improve and verify the above scale.2.By detecting and analyzing the biological samples of T2DM patients with typical Yin deficiency syndrome/non Yin deficiency syndrome and healthy volunteers(nhv),explore the characteristic biomarkers of T2DM Yin deficiency syndrome and their correlation,and explore the effects of intestinal flora of T2DM patients with Yin deficiency syndrome on the clinical manifestations and intestinal microenvironment of db/db mice through fecal microbiota transplantation(FMT),Preliminarily verify the interaction between intestinal flora disorder and the formation of T2DM Yin deficiency syndrome.Methods:1.based on Delphi method,the results of expert questionnaire of TCM syndrome differentiation scale of type 2 diabetes mellitus were analyzed statistically,and the item was selected and weighted by AHP.2.based on the clinical cross-sectional study method,438 patients with Yin deficiency syndrome and 223 patients with non Yin deficiency syndrome were included in the T2DM.The DS01-G group was used to collect tongue and eye information,and the TCM syndrome differentiation scale of type 2 diabetes mellitus was used to record the general situation and physical and chemical indexes.The clinical characteristics of 2 groups were analyzed by logistic and single factor and multi factor analysis of logistic.Establish the prediction model of T2DM Yin deficiency syndrome.3.14 T2DM patients with typical Yin deficiency syndrome,8 patients with typical non Yin deficiency syndrome and 8 healthy volunteers were included.Biological samples were collected from each group.16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing technology was used to explore the differences of intestinal flora structure and abundance in each group through OTU cluster annotation,alpha diversity analysis,beta diversity analysis,lefse and stamp differential flora analysis;The differences of intestinal short chain fatty acids and serum metabolites in each group were detected and analyzed by targeted metabolomics based on gas chromatography mass spectrometry(GC-MS)and g350 targeted absolute quantitative detection technology based on ultra high performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS);Spearman correlation analysis was used to jointly analyze the above characteristic biomarkers of T2DM Yin deficiency syndrome,explore the relationship between "host flora short chain fatty acids metabolites",and detect the expression difference of cytokines in each group by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),so as to evaluate the inflammatory state of T2DM Yin deficiency patients.4.One T2DM patient with typical Yin deficiency syndrome,one T2DM patient with typical non Yin deficiency syndrome and one healthy volunteer were included.Fecal samples from each group were collected to prepare fecal bacteria freeze-dried powder.Ordinary male db/db and db/m mice aged 3 weeks were taken as the research object,db/m mice were taken as the blank group and db/db mice were taken as the model group.Fecal bacteria transplantation experiments of 3 samples were carried out on the basis of the model group.After continuous intervention for 4 weeks,food intake,body weight,body temperature Fasting blood glucose and behavioral changes,and 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing technology was used to detect the fecal samples of each group at week 0,2 and 4,so as to preliminarily explore the effect of intestinal flora of T2DM patients with typical Yin deficiency syndrome on db/db mice.Results:1.A total of 25 domestic famous experts in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of endocrine and metabolic diseases were selected.The expert authority score was 18.3.The recovery rates of the three rounds of expert questionnaires were 84.00%,76.00%and 76.00%respectively.According to the coefficient of variation and mean value of each item in the second round of expert questionnaire,finally "red tongue and less moss(peeling/no moss)","five heart upset and heat","red tongue and less fluid","pulse count","night sweat","dry mouth and throat","dry eyes","thin body or getting thin","thirsty for cold drinks","dry stool","fear of heat" and "dry and itchy skin" "Upset" was included in the scale of TCM syndrome differentiation of yin deficiency syndrome of type 2 diabetes.Through the consistency test results of the third round of expert questionnaire,the weights and assignments of the above items are:0.1715(17 points),0.1297(13 points),0.1202(12 points),0.1006(10 points),0.0950(10 points),0.0687(7 points),0.0686(7 points),0.0583(6 points),0.0431(4 points),0.0417(4 points),0.0411(4 points),0.0328(3 points)and 0.0284(3 points).2.cross sectional study found that the proportion of women accounted for,hyperlipidemia,FBG,2hPG,HbAlc,TgAb,TG,SLDL,and the TCM syndrome differentiation scale of type 2 diabetes mellitus(yin deficiency)were related to the items(except body weight or thinning)scores,tongue-Lab-L in tongue,tongue-Lab-a in tongue,proportion of red spot in eye examination,and pink mist in scores of yin deficiency syndrome(T2DM<0.05).The proportion and score of ecchymosis,ecchymosis,white fur,dark gray spots and yellow fog were significantly lower in T2DM patients with Yin deficiency syndrome(P<0.05).The above differential indexes were analyzed by logistic single factor and multi factor analysis,and the prediction model equation of T2DM Yin deficiency syndrome was established:1.018 x "History of hyperlipidemia"+0.584 × "Red tongue with little moss(peeling/no moss)"+0.439 ×"Red tongue and less fluid"+0.437 x "Five heart upset heat"+0.288 × "Night sweat"+0.899 × "Fear of heat"+0.746× "Pulse number"+0.293 ×"Dry mouth and dry throat"+0.832 × "Dry stool",the area under the ROC curve of the equation is 0.977(95%CI:0.9167-0.9389,P<0.001),and the best score is 5.09 points.According to this value,it is divided into high-risk group(>5.09

Zhi Xiao",the TCM syndrome theory of T2DM,established by the theory of TCM pathogenesis,can significantly reflect the clinical phenotype characteristics of T2DM Yin deficiency syndrome.The prediction model of T2DM Yin deficiency syndrome based on the relevant items of the scale and the level of glucose and lipid has high reliability and validity.It can be used for the preliminary screening of patients with clinical T2DM Yin deficiency syndrome,is conducive to the prevention and treatment of clinical T2DM Yin deficiency syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine,and provides a relatively objective quantitative tool for the establishment of the universal judgment standard of yin deficiency syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine.In addition,the formation of T2DM Yin deficiency syndrome is closely related to the multi-channel cascade reactions such as SCFAs metabolism abnormality,bile acid metabolism abnormality,amino acid metabolism abnormality and immune inflammation mediated by intestinal flora disorder.Its characteristic intestinal microorganisms can aggravate the development of T2DM and the occurrence of some clinical manifestations of yin deficiency syndrome in db/db mice,indicating that T2DM Yin deficiency syndrome may be formed by the influence of "flora metabolite" disorder,To some extent,this explains the scientific connotation of "Yang Ming knot heat" leading to "internal heat injuring Yin" in"two Yang knot is called Zhixiao",and provides some new targets for the clinical treatment of T2DM Yin deficiency syndrome. |
