| Purpose:The medical record data mining method was selected to analyze the clinical case data of Professor Shi Yan’s treatment of type 2 diabetes through traditional Chinese medicine inheritance and calculation platform,Excel,SPSS and other software,and summarize the drug use law,aiming to provide traceable guidance for clinical treatment of type 2 diabetes.Then through animal experiments,we observed the effects of Yitangkang on intestinal flora,inflammatory factors and oxidative stress process,and analyzed and discussed the related mechanism of Yitangkang in treating type 2 diabetes.Material and method:1.Collect the clinical data of type 2 diabetes patients received by Professor Shi Yan in the expert clinic of the Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from September 2021 to March 2023,screen them according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,standardize the name of traditional Chinese medicine,arrange the data,set up an independent database,upload it to the traditional Chinese medicine inheritance computing platform(V3.0),and use the functions of"statistical analysis"and"prescription analysis"to conduct medication frequency,channel-tropism,Four Properties,Five Tastes and Efficacy Statistics;Import the prepared binary matrix data into the SPSS Modeler 18.0 software,analyze the association rules of high-frequency drugs according to the default parameters of the system according to the Apriori algorithm,and build the association rule network diagram of Chinese medicine for the treatment of type 2 diabetes;Through SPSS Statistics 25.0 software,systematic cluster analysis was carried out on high-frequency Chinese medicine,and systematic cluster pedigree diagram was drawn according to the results to form various cluster drug groups.Finally,all data results were analyzed,and Professor Shi Yan’s experience in the differentiation and treatment of type 2 diabetes was summarized and inherited.2.40 SPF grade db/db mice were randomly divided into model group,low dose group,medium dose group,high dose group and dagliflozin group,and were given common diet.Eight SPF grade db/m mice were used as blank groups and were fed a common diet.The traditional Chinese medicine compound Yitangkang consists of 12 medicines,including coptis chinensis,yellow cypress,astragalus,yellow essence,atractylodes and panax notoginseng.After 1 week of adaptive feeding,mice in the low-dose group of Yitangkang were administered 7g·kg-1·d-1with Yitangkang decoction,mice in the middle dose group of Yitangkang were given 14g·kg-1·d-1with Yitangkang decoction,mice in the high-dose group were administered 28g·kg-1·d-1with the decoction,mice in Dagliflozin were given 1.29mg·kg-1·d-1,dosing for a total of 8 weeks.The blank and model groups were given daily saline gavage.Body weight and fasting blood glucose(FBG)values were measured every two days.After 8 weeks,the mice were fasted for12h before animal material extraction and tissue isolation.The intestinal histopathological and morphological changes were detected by HE staining;gene sequencing of intestinal flora by 16S-r DNA high-throughput sequencing technology;the expression level of intestinal ROS,SOD and LPS was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA);immunohistochemistry was used to detect intestinal IL-6 and IL-1βexpression levels;co-localization of claudin 1 and occludin in intestinal tissues was observed by immunofluorescent staining;the expression levels of TLR4 and NF-κB m RNA in intestinal tissues were detected by quantitative real-time PCR(q RT-PCR);the protein expression levels of TLR4 and NF-κB were determined by immunoblot(Western blot).Results:Data Mining Results:1.Medication situation:76 prescriptions of type 2 diabetes patients were collected this time,and 102 kinds of traditional Chinese medicines were used in total.35 medicines were used more than or equal to 5 times,of which the top 5 herbs used most frequently were licorice,astragalus,polygonatum,coptis chinensis,and salvia miltiorrhiza.Among the four herbs in traditional Chinese medicine,warm medicine is the main ingredient,while among the five herbs,sweet and bitter herbs are used the most frequently,far higher than other herbs.The medicine involves 12 meridians,mostly referring to the spleen,lung,heart,and stomach meridians.A total of 17 types of traditional Chinese medicine are used,with the main functions of tonifying deficiency,clearing heat,and promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis.2.Correlation analysis results:Perform association rule analysis on high-frequency drugs.When the minimum conditional support is 30%,the minimum rule confidence is set to100%,and the maximum number of antecedents is set to 1,8 association rule results that meet the conditions are obtained.The top 5 compatible drug pairs with the highest overall support are Astragalus membranaceus-Salvia miltiorrhiza,solomon’s seal-Atractylodes macrocephala,Astragalus membranaceus-Atractylodes macrocephala,solomon’s seal-red ginseng,Astragalus membranaceus-red ginseng.3.Cluster analysis results:Professor Shi Yan treated type 2 diabetes with five groups of high-frequency clustering:prescription 1:keel,oyster,wild jujube kernel,cinnamon twig,allium macrostemon,notoginseng,leech,angelica sinensis,and chuanxiong;Prescription 2:Red peony and Achyranthes bidentata;Recipe 3:Chinese yam,Cornus officinalis,Laotou grass,goji berries,and Scutellaria baicalensis;Recipe 4:Chaihu,Xiangfu,Fructus Aurantii,Rhubarb,Ginseng,Alisma orientalis;Recipe 5:Xuanshen,Ophiopogon japonicus,Danshen,Atractylodes macrocephala,Huangjing,Astragalus membranaceus,Red ginseng,Poria cocos,Huanglian,Kudzu root,Mulberry white bark,Schisandra chinensis,Licorice.Animal experiment results:1.General condition of mice:During the experiment,all the mice in the blank group

protein levels were significantly decreased in the high-dose and dagliflozin group compared with the model group(P<0.01).Conclusion:1.The statistical analysis of Professor Shi Yan’s prescription rules for treating type 2diabetes reflects the academic thought of"treating from the spleen".He believes that the occurrence of diabetes is based on yin deficiency or qi deficiency,marked by turbid phlegm and blood stasis,and most of them are caused by deficiency and excess.Blood stasis runs through diabetes all the time,and the core treatment method is"invigorating the spleen and benefiting qi,nourishing yin,clearing heat and activating blood".2.Professor Shi Yan treats type 2 diabetes from the starting point of"internal heat due to yin deficiency and loss of movement due to spleen deficiency".He uses more sweet drugs to replenish spleen and qi,and bitter drugs to clear heat.He is good at using tonifying deficiency drugs in combination with heat clearing drugs,blood activating and stasis removing drugs,and treats diabetes based on syndrome differentiation and symptoms.3.The traditional Chinese medicine compound Yitangkang can reduce the blood glucose of db/db mice,improve the body weight,mental state,fur color gloss,reduce the diet volume,water intake and urine volume of db/db mice.4.The traditional Chinese medicine compound Yitangkang may regulate intestinal flora,alleviate intestinal pathological changes in db/db mice,improve damaged intestinal mucosal barrier,alleviate peroxidation,and alleviate inflammatory reactions in their intestines. |
