摘要: 糖尿病足溃疡(DFU)作为糖尿病最严重的并发症之一,以皮肤溃烂、感染、神经或血管损伤等为主要临床表现,其复杂的发病机制给临床治疗带来了巨大挑战。传统中药黄芪的多种有效成分如黄芪多糖(APS)、黄芪甲苷(AS-IV)、黄酮类化合物等,在降糖与改善胰岛素抵抗、抑制炎症因子释放、促进血管生成、抗氧化应激以及保护周围神经与抗感染等途径对糖尿病足溃疡愈合有显著疗效。本文总结了黄芪治疗糖尿病足溃疡的药理作用研究进展,为黄芪治疗糖尿病足溃疡的临床应用提供支持。
Abstract: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), as one of the most severe complications of diabetes, primarily manifests clinically as skin ulcers, infections, and nerve or vascular damage. Its complex pathogenesis poses significant challenges for clinical treatment. Various active components in the traditional Chinese medicine Astragalus, such as Astragalus polysaccharides (APS), Astragaloside IV (AS-IV), and flavonoids, have shown significant efficacy in promoting the healing of diabetic foot ulcers through mechanisms such as lowering blood sugar and improving insulin resistance, inhibiting the release of inflammatory factors, promoting angiogenesis, combating oxidative stress, and protecting peripheral nerves and fighting infection. This paper summarizes the research progress on the pharmacological effects of Astragalus in treating diabetic foot ulcers, providing support for its clinical application.
