Abstract:
[Objective]To investigate the relationship between platelet activation and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome distribution in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN).[Methods]A total of 188 DPN patients admitted to our hospital from February 2020 to December 2022 were collected.The TCM syndrome type usesd the index cluster analysis to draw the cluster diagram.The correspondence between TCM syndrome type and lesion degree was analyzed by simple correspondence analysis,and shown on the two-dimensional plan.It compared the general clinical data,platelet parameters and platelet activation of different TCM syndrome types,so as to explore the relationship between platelet activation and the distribution of TCM syndrome types.[Results]The syndrome types summarized in different positions of the cluster map were different.Among them,D-point interception could be divided into five syndrome types:Qi deficiency syndrome,Yin deficiency syndrome,Yang deficiency syndrome,stagnation of blood stasis syndrome and phlegm-dampness blocking collaterals syndrome.Among the 188 DPN patients,phlegm-dampness blocking collaterals syndrome was found in 18 cases(9.57%),stagnation of blood stasis syndrome in 53 cases(28.19%),Yang deficiency syndrome in 28 cases(14.89%),Yin deficiency syndrome in 39 cases(20.74%),and Qi deficiency syndrome in 50 cases(26.60%).The grade of DPN lesion was grade Ⅰ in 56 cases(29.79%),grade Ⅱ in 76 cases(40.43%),and grade Ⅲ in 56 cases(29.79%).The syndrome of phlegm-dampness blocking collaterals and stagnation of blood stasis in the middle of the two-dimensional projection map did not deviate to a certain grade of DPN lesion degree;Yang deficiency syndrome inclined to grade Ⅲ,Yin deficiency syndrome to grade Ⅱ,and Qi deficiency syndrome to grade Ⅰ.Compared with Qi deficiency syndrome,platelets(PLT),mean platelet volume(MPV),platelet distribution width(PDW),granular membrane protein-140(GMP-140),platelet activating factor(PAF)and E26 transformation specific-l(ETS-l)in patients with Yin deficiency syndrome and Yang deficiency syndrome were significantly higher(P<0.05),and PLT,MPV,PDW,GMP-140,PAF and ETS-1 in patients with Yang deficiency syndrome were higher than those of Yin deficiency syndrome(P<0.05).[Conclusion]DPN can be routinely divided into five basic syndrome types:Qi deficiency,Yin deficiency,Yang deficiency,stagnation of blood stasis and phlegm-dampness blocking collaterals.With the development of DPN,TCM syndromes are transformed from Qi deficiency to Yin deficiency to Yang deficiency,while blood stasis and phlegm-dampness blocking collaterals are accompanied by various stages of DPN patients.In the progress of DPN,platelet activation may be involved in the transformation of TCM syndrome types.
