ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the risk factors on type 2 diabetic with foot ulcer.Methods 69diabetic foot patients were involved in the study.According to ulcer,patients were divided into the ulcer group(n=25)and the no-ulcer group (n=44).FBG,2h PBG,HbA1c,TC,TG,HDL,LDL,BUN,Cr.CRP were examined.T-test and chi-square test were used to assess the risk factors on diabetic foot patients with clure.Results Compared with the no-ulce group,the ulcer grou were associated with HDL and CRP.Chi-square-test demonstrated a statistically significant difference between the groups with ulcer and no-ulcer grou on incidence of hypertension and ulcer in diabetic foot patients(P
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the cell biological mechanism of sodium selenite improving insulin sensitivity in pubertal rats with insulin resistance.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The content of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) was examined by anion resin chromatography, and mRNA levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulatory subunits (PI3Kp85 alpha) and Se-P were detected by RT-PCR in hepatocyte isolated from pubertal rats with insulin resistance.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The mRNA levels of Se-P and PI3Kp85 alpha and content of IP3 in isolated hepatocyte decreased in pubertal male rats with insulin resistance. The above indices increased and reached normal level in rats supplied with selenium. The response to insulin stimulation in isolated hepatocyte in rats with selenium supply was similar to that in the control group, and both groups had higher response than those with high-fat diet. Alone when inhibited by wortmannin, the concentration of IP3 increased slightly in rats with selenium supply, but still was lower than that in the control group.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>These results indicate that the effect of selenium improving insulin sensitivity may be related to phosphatidylinositol PI3K signalling pathway. The effect of regulation of IP3 by selenium is not as effective as that by insulin, which may explain the difference of effect between selenium and insulin.</p>
