Abstract:
Diabetic gastroparesis (DGP) is a common diabetic neuropathy that affects the normal function of gastric motility and emptying. Clinically, it often manifests as abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting, early satiety, dyspepsia, etc. The pathogenesis of DGP is multifactorial, closely related to many factors, such as chronic hyperglycemia, neuropathy, autonomic nervous system disorders, inflammation, and oxidative stress. These factors can interact with each other, leading to delayed gastric emptying and the occurrence of related symptoms. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has significant advantages in the prevention and treatment of DGP, including a long history, remarkable efficacy, individualized treatment, diverse therapeutic formulations, and improvement in the quality of life. Additionally, TCM is known for its low adverse reactions, good tolerance, and multi-targeted effects, making it an important approach in the management of DGP. Previous research has found that the main mechanisms of Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of DGP include the regulation of gastrointestinal hormones, inhibition of inflammatory responses, reduction of oxidative stress, enhancement of interstitial cells of Cajal activity, inhibition of pyroptosis, and modulation of related signaling pathways such as stem cell factor (SCF)/cellular growth factor receptor (c-Kit), adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), Ras homologous genome member A (RhoA)/Rho-associated coiled-coil forming kinase (ROCK). This article primarily summarized the research progress on Chinese medicine in preventing and treating DGP through the inhibition of inflammatory responses, reduction of oxidative stress, enhancement of interstitial cells of Cajal activity, inhibition of pyroptosis, and regulation of related signaling pathways, aiming to provide a reference and basis for further research on the application value of Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of DGP.
