Abstract:Objective To study the relationship between homocysteine (Hcy) and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods Two hundred patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with hyperhomocysteinemia received treatment in Department of Endocrinology of Shunyi Hospital, Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2017 to June 2018 were selected as research subjects. All patients were divided into syndrome of spleen deficiency and stomach heat (96 cases), syndrome of deficiency of both qi and yin (38 cases), syndrome of yin deficiency of liver and kidney (36 cases), syndrome of deficiency of both yin and yang (30 cases) according to principal syndrome differentiation. In addition, they were divided into syndrome of turbidity (30 cases), syndrome of phlegm (33 cases), syndrome of dampness (59 cases), syndrome of stasis (78 cases) according to incidental symptom differentiation. The fully automatic biochemical analyser was used to determine the levels of Hcy. Results Hcy levels of patients with different traditional Chinese medicine main syndromes were significantly different (P < 0.05). There was significant difference in Hcy level between two types of traditional Chinese medicine main syndromes (P < 0.05), which was manifested as syndrome of deficiency of both yin and yang, syndrome of yin deficiency of liver and kidney, syndrome of deficiency of both qi and yin, syndrome of spleen deficiency and stomach heat. There was significant difference in Hcy level among different traditional Chinese medicine syndromes (P < 0.05). There was significant difference in Hcy level between two types of traditional Chinese medicine accompanying symptoms (P < 0.05), which was manifested as syndrome of stasis, syndrome of dampness, syndrome of phlegm, syndrome of turbidity. Conclusion Hcy may be the important factor in the development of diabetes mellitus. There is a certain correlation between Hcy level and different traditional Chinese medicine syndrome types of type 2 diabetes mellitus, which can provide some reference for the standardization and standardization of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
