Abstract
BACKGROUND: Periodontitis (PD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represent interlinked global health burdens, commonly causing significant clinical complications when coincident. Therefore, managing both conditions (T2DM with periodontitis, DP) simultaneously poses considerable challenges, necessitating novel therapeutic strategies. KQJF has been clinically proven to treat DP with good efficacy, but its pharmacological substances and targets are not clear and urgently need to be clarified.
