Diabetic cardiomyopathy occurs in diabetic patients and is different from hypertensive heart disease， coronary atherosclerotic heart disease， and other cardiac abnormalities. The main clinical symptoms are systolic and diastolic cardiac dysfunction， myocardial fibrosis， congestive heart failure， and angina pectoris. As one of the main complications of diabetes， its incidence and fatality rates have been on the rise year by year. However， modern medicine still fails to figure out its pathogenesis and no specific drug is available， which has seriously affected the survival and quality of life of patients. Cardiomyocytes contain a large number of mitochondria， which participate in cardiac energy metabolism and other biological activities and occupy an important position in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Mitochondrial quality control mainly involves mitochondrial oxidative stress， mitochondrial dynamics， mitochondrial autophagy， and intracellular calcium regulation， which is an important condition for stabilizing the normal mitochondrial structure and exerting normal mitochondrial functions. In recent years， the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine in intervening in mitochondrial quality control through multiple angles， pathways， and targets to affect the structure and function of myocardial mitochondria and significantly improve the clinical symptoms of patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy has attracted wide attention from scholars. Therefore， this paper reviewed the experimental studies and/or clinical observations concerning the treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy with effective compounds of Chinese herbs and/or Chinese herbal compounds in the past ten years to further explain the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy， clarify the regulatory mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine in mitochondrial quality control， and summarize the scientific connotations and shortcomings of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy， hoping to provide certain ideas and methods for further clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
RÉSUMÉ
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the common TCM syndrome types of fatty liver by way of epidemic questionnaire, their occurrence ratio, and the correlation between various syndrome types and objective indexes.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of national wide 503 subjects with fatty liver were enrolled, the TCM syndromes, body mass index (BMI), abdominal perimeter/hip circumference, liver function, blood lipids, B ultrasonic examination and CT in them were observed and recorded.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In the 46 symptoms investigated in total, the first ten symptoms in order of appearing rate were lassitude, obese, oral dryness, vertigo, hypochondriac distending pain, soreness and pain in loin, spiritlessness, oral bitterness, aching and weakness in knee and abdominal distention. The mostly appeared tongue figures were pale and corpulent or pale dim tongue proper, white greasy or yellow greasy tongue coating, and the mostly appeared pulse figures were taut, taut-thin and taut slippery. Statistical cluster analysis showed that syndromes of fatty liver could be typed into 4 TCM types, the asthenia Pi-Shen with Gan-stagnation type, the asthenia Pi-Shen type, the asthenia Pi with phlegm-heat type and the unclassified type. Among them the asthenia Pi-Shen with Gan-stagnation type was the commonest one, which accounted to 62.32%.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The mostly appeared syndrome type of fatty liver was asthenia Pi-Shen with Gan-stagnation type. The TCM pathogenesis of fatty liver was deficiency of origin, mainly deficiency of Shen, involving Pi, with excess superficiality, the turbid-phlegm and blood stasis.</p>
