ABSTRACT
@#Objective To examine whether polymorphisms of histone deacetylase( HDACs) and environment factors can be implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM) ，and to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of T2DM． Methods In 2017，T2DM patients and controls were selected from 17 villages in Huadu District，Guangzhou． According the Diagnostic criteria for T2DM，the case group of T2DM was matched with control group from the population diagnosed as normal by gender，age no more than 5 years old，and from the same natural village． Conditional logistic regression model was used to analyze the effect of gene and environment and their interaction on T2DM． Results The average age of 499 cases group were ( 61．53±13．08) years old，and the average age of 499 controls group were ( 61．48±13．09) years old． There were no statistic difference between two groups． Furthermore，the two groups were gender－balanced too． In conditional logistic regression model，we found that glycerin trilau- rate ( TG) abnormalities ( OR= 2．410，95% CI: 1．755－3．310，P＜0．001) and cholesterol total ( TC) ab- normalities ( OR= 1．436，95% CI: 1．046－1．972，P = 0．025) were risk factors for T2DM． The subjects carries rs72792338 TC+TT genotype ( OR= 0．526，95% CI: 0．349－0．793，P= 0．002) had lower the risk to develop T2DM． Conclusions Abnormal TG and TC are risk factors for T2DM． Rs72792338 TT and TC genotype carryings decrease the risk of T2DM．
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the clinical efficacy of glucocorticoid combined with ulinastatin in the treatment of Kawasaki disease (KD) in children.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 104 children who were admitted and diagnosed with typical KD between January 2011 and December 2013 were assigned to ulinastatin group (methylprednisolone+ulinastatin; n=46) and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) group (n=58) according to the severity of KD and the willingness of their parents. Observations for the two groups were performed to compare the changes in coronary artery diameter before and at 1 week, 3 months, and 6 months after treatment, fever clearance time, retreatment condition, changes in white blood cells (WBC), platelets (PLT), hemoglobin (HB), C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) at 1 week and 3 weeks after treatment, and total in-hospital cost.</p><p><b>RESYLTS</b>There was no significant difference in the coronary artery diameter between the two groups before or at 1 week, 3 months or 6 months after treatment (P>0.05). All the patients (100%) in the ulinastatin group vs 83% in the IVIG group had a normal body temperature after 48 hours of treatment (P<0.01). Two patients (4%) in the ulinastatin group and 10 patients (17%) in the IVIG group received retreatment. Significant differences were observed in ESR, WBC, and HB between them (P<0.01). The total in-hospital cost in the ulinastatin group was significantly lower than that in the IVIG group (P<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>For children with KD, methylprednisolone combined with ulinastatin does not increase the risk of coronary artery aneurysm, decreases in-hospital costs, is superior in controlling laboratory markers and shortening the duration of fever during the acute phase compared with the IVIG therapy.</p>
