ABSTRACT
The latest epidemiological data suggests that the situation of adult diabetes in China is severe, and metabolic diseases have become significant chronic illnesses that have a serious impact on public health and social development. After more than six years of practice, the National Metabolic Management Center(MMC) has developed distinctive approaches to manage metabolic patients and has achieved a series of positive outcomes, continuously advancing the standardized diagnosis and treatment model. In order to further improve the efficiency, based on the first edition, the second edition guideline was composed by incorporating experience of the past six years in conjunction with the latest international and domestic guidelines.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between body composition and β-cell function in obese females with normal glucose metabolism. Methods Seventy-five obese women with normal blood glucose and without family history of diabetes were investigated. They were assigned to 4 groups based on body mass index (BMI). Body fat content was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) was performed. The acute insulin response (AIR), the area under the curve (AUC) of insulin (AUCins) and homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) for β-cell function (HOMA2-% B) were calculated. Insulin resistance index(HOMA2-IR) and the ratio of AUCins to AUC of glucose (AUCins/AUCglu) were calculated to assess insulin resistance. Results Women with higher BMI appeared to have more total body fat content and trunk fat content. The similar distribution was also found in other parameters, including the plasma glucose levels at 0 and 10 min, AUCins, AIR, AUCins/AUCglu and the difference of insulin level between 0 and 10 min [INS (10-0)] during IVGTF. AUCins, AIR, AUCins/AUCglu and [INS (10-0)] were positively correlated with the age, BMI,total body fat content and trunk fat content. After adjustment of age, the trunk fat content was independently associated with the AIR in a good linear manner. Conclusion The obese females show change in body composition with more trunk fat content. They show significant insulin resistance with compensated elevation of insulin secretion. Body composition assessment is a valid and more accurate method than BMI and waist circumference in predicting early damaged β-cell function in obese patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate effects of changes in body composition and pancreas islet β-cell function on bone mineral density(BMD)in obese women with normal glucose metabolism at child-bearing age.Methods Ninety-five obese women with normal blood glucose at child-bearing age were recruited for the study,20 in non-obese group with body mass index(BMI)less than 23,20 in overweightgroup with BMI equal to or more than 23 and less than 25.28 in obesity Ⅰ group with BMI equal to or more than 25 and less than 30.and 27 in obesity Ⅱ group with BMI equal to or more than 30.Their BMD,body fat and lean mass were measured with by dual energy X-ray absorptiometer(DEXA),and intravenous -glucose tolerance test(IVGTT)was performed.Area under the Curve of insulin(AUCins)and acute jnsulin response(AIR)phase were calculated to assess their early insulin secretion.Homeostasis model assessment β-cell function index(HOMA2-%B)and homeostasis model insulin resistance index(HOMA2-IR)were used to assess their β-cell function and insulin resistance.Results Fat and lean mass in the upper and lower extremities.trunk and whole body and BMD in those women increased with increasing of their BMI(P＜0.05),particularly in fat mass.as well as their otller parameters including plasma insulin level at zerominute of IVGTT(IVGTTins0),AUCins.HOMA2-%B and HOMA2.IR(all P＜0.01).BMD in the upper and lower extremities,trunk and whole body showed a positive correlation with BMI,FPG,lean mass and/or fat mass.respectively(P＜0.05).BMD of the trunk and whole body also had a positive correlation with TVGTTins0,AIR,AUCins and HOMA2-IR.respectively(P＜0.05).Results of multivariate linear regression analysis showed that HOMA2-%B and HOMA2-IR correlated with BMD in a linear pattern.As the vailable body composition was added to the regression model.HOMA2 parameters would be removed from the model.Results of partial correlation analysis showed that islet β-cell function did not correlate with BMD after controlling body composition factors.Conclusions Insulin resistance or islet β-cell function compensation accompanied in obese women with main increase in fat mass have little benefit for their BMD,which may reflect indirectly their change in body compositions.Body composition,especially lean nlass,is the most important determinants of BMD in obese women.
ABSTRACT
Objecfive To evaluate the effects of cilostazol on the prevention of microvascular complications in diabetic patients.Methods 60 diabetic patients with microvascular complications were orally given cilostazol for 1 month.Changes of Mean platelet volume (MPV),plateletcrit (PCT),platelet distribution width (PDW) and platelet count (PLT) were studied.Results With administration of cilostazol,MPV and PDW decreased significantly. Conclusion Cilostazol improves platelet parameters,suggesting that it could prevent the progression of microvascular diseases.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the changes of the endothelium-dependent vasodilatation(EDF)and serum vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in the patients with impaired glucose tolerance(IGT)and type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM).Methods 30 IGT patients,30 type 2 DM patients and 33 normal subjects were divided into3 groups. Fasting glucose(FPG),fasting insulin(FINS),serum superoxide dismutase(SOD),maleie. dialdehyde(MDA)and VEGF were measured after 12 hours overnight fast. Oral 75g glucose tolerance test(OGTT)was performed. The inner diameter of braehial artery was assessed by a high resolution ultrasound system before and after reactive hyperemia. EDF was calculated as the percent change in brachial artery diameter 1 minute after reactive hyperemia compared with baseline. Results In the IGT group and DM group, EDF was significantly lower than that in NGT group(both P＜0.01),and EDF in the DM group was significantly lower than that in the IGT group(P＜0.01).SOD in the IGT group and DM group were significantly lower than that in the NGT group(both P＜0.01),but MDA in reverse(both P＜0.01).Compared with the IGT group, SOD in DM group was significantly lower(P＜0.01),but MDA was significantly higher(P＜0.01).VEGF was progressively increased in the NGT,IGT, DM groups. The difference between the two groups was significant(both P＜0.01).Stepwise regression analysis showed that EDF was positively related to SOD(r=0.418,P＜0.01,n=93),and negatively related to HOMA-IR and VEGF(r=-0.553,-0.221,both P＜0.01,n=93).VEGF was negatively related to SOD(r=-0.552,P＜0.01,n=93).Conclusion EDF is impaired in IGT patients while the impairment in DM patients becomes more marked. Insulin resistance, VEGF,SOD and MDA are closely related to the impairment of EDF in IGT and type 2 DM.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between the polymorphisms of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1)gene and the level of endothelium-dependent vasodilatation (EDF) in patients with type 2 diabe- tes(T2DM).Methods The polymorphisms of PAI-1(4G/5G)gene were determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)and the EDF was assessed by non-invasive hish resolution B-mode ultrasonography in 66 T2DM patients and 33 controls.Plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1(PAI-1)and fibrinogen(Fg)were measured.Results Frequencies of PAI-1 alleles and genotypes in T2DM patients and controls were all in accordance with the Hardy Weinberge quilibrium,without significant differences between T2DM patients and controls(P>0.05).PAI-1 and Fg were significantly higher in T2DM patients than in controls.There were significant differences in EDF and PAI- lamong different genotypes of PAI-1(P<0.05).Conclusion The PAI-1 genotype may affect EDF in T2DM pa- tients.
