Abstract:
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a serious long-term complication and major death cause of patients who have suffered from diabetes mellitus (DM),which is a serious threat to the health of human being.Professor Zhao Zongjiang first came up with the of DKD "consumptive kidney disease" scientific theory,and led the scientific research team for DKD research.Our team had achieved some results,which were mainly focused on the animal experiments and cell culture experiment.And the research fields covered pharmacodynamics,oxidative stress levels and signal transduction pathways.Focusing on the reduction of extracellular matrix in the glomerular mesangial area and tubulointerstitial deposition,inhibition of podocyte injury,inhibition of podocyte apoptosis,inhibition and reversal of podocyte transdifferentiation,inhibition of renal tubular epithelial cell transdifferentiation and other scientific issues,this paper systematically explored the biological mechanism of DKD "consumptive kidney disease" scientific theory.This paper explained how "consumptive kidney disease" scientific theory was proposed and summarized related research results of our research team and developed traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory by supplying the TCM "consumptive organ disease" theory.
