ABSTRACT
ObjectivesTo understand the prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia （HHcy） in the Tibetan population in Northwest Xizang， and its association with lipids and blood uric acid， and to explore the prevention and treatment strategies for chronic diseases such as HHcy in Northwest Xizang. MethodsIn this survey， questionnaires， physical examinations， and biochemical tests were conducted on 3432 Tibetan residents aged 18 years and older who had resided in Northwest Xizang （Ngari Prefecture， Nagqu City） for more than 6 months using a multistage stratified whole cluster random sampling method. ResultsThe prevalence of HHcy among Tibetan residents in Northwest Xizang was 75.7%， much higher than that of the average population in China （37.2%）. Blood uric acid、high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were risk factors for HHcy. ConclusionThe prevalence of HHcy is higher in the Tibetan population in northwest Xizang. Therefore， the local governments should urge people to establish a healthy lifestyle and enhance early intervention for HHcy by improving diet and lifestyle， thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular， cerebrovascular and other related diseases.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the characteristics of blood uric acid levels and its correlation with calcium and phosphorus levels, and glucose and lipid metabolism in obese adolescents in weight-loss training camps. Methods In this study, 357 obese adolescents aged 12-18 were selected as the research subjects, and 135 normal-weight adolescents were selected as the controls. The body shape and blood uric acid characteristics of the subjects were measured and analyzed. Further, 59 subjects were selected from the obese adolescents for blood calcium, blood phosphorus and glucose and lipid metabolism index tests to analyze the correlation between blood uric acid level and calcium, phosphorus, and glucose and lipid metabolism indicators. Results The average blood uric acid level of obese adolescents was (527.12±122.94)μmol/L, (566.58±122.51)μmol/L for boys, and (468.35±97.79)μmol/L for girls. The blood uric acid level of the obesity group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.001 for boys, P<0.05 for girls), and it was higher in boys than in girls (P<0.01). Obese adolescents with high uric acid accounted for 73.39%. The HOMA-IR of obese adolescents was 5.79±3.04. The blood uric acid level was significantly correlated with blood calcium, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P<0.05). Gender and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were the main influencing factors of blood uric acid (P<0.05). Conclusion Obese adolescents have high blood uric acid levels, low calcium and high phosphorus in the body, and a higher incidence of insulin resistance. There exists a positive correlation between the blood uric acid level and the body's calcium and phosphorus metabolism and glucose and lipid metabolism in obese adolescents. Clinical monitoring of lipid metabolism indicators such as low-density lipoprotein has certain reference value for the prevention and treatment of hyperuricemia.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the correlation between homocysteine (Hcy) and serum uric acid (SUA) and retinopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), preliminary study on its predictive value.Methods:A retrospective study. From January 2020 to March 2021, a total of 324 T2DM patients hospitalized in Department of Endocrinology, Cangzhou Central Hospital of Hebei Province were included. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), Hcy, SUA, peripheral blood endothelial progenitor cells (EPC), circulating endothelial cells (CEC) were counted and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated. According to the absence or presence of diabetic retinopathy (DR), the patients were divided into non DR (NDR) group and DR group with 100 and 214 cases, respectively. Clinical data and laboratory biochemical indexes of the two groups were compared and observed. The logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for DR in T2DM patients. Smooth curve fitting was used to analyze the curve relationship between Hcy, SUA and DR, and ROC area (AUC) of Hcy, SUA; their combined prediction of DR in T2DM patients was calculated by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve), and the predictive value of Hcy and SUA for DR in T2DM patients was evaluated.Results:Diabetic course ( t=5.380), systolic blood pressure ( t=2.935), hypertension ( χ2=10.248), diabetic nephropathy ( χ2=9.515), diabetic peripheral neuropathy ( χ2=24.501), FBG ( t=3.945), HbA1C ( t=3.336) and TG in DR Group ( t=2.898), LDL-C ( t=3.986), Scr ( t=2.139), SUA ( t=7.138), HOMA-IR ( t=3.237), BUN ( t=3.609), Hcy ( t=2.363) and CEC ( t=19.396) were significantly higher than those in NDR group. The difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). EPC ( t=9.563) and CPC ( t=7.684) levels were significantly lower than those of NDR group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes course, SBP, hypertension, FBG, HbA1C, LDL-C, SUA, Hcy, EPC, CPC and CEC were all independent risk factors for developing DR in T2DM patients ( P<0.05). The smooth curve fitting analysis showed that Hcy and SUA were positively correlated with the occurrence of DR. After adjusting for confounding factors, when Hcy≥15 μmol/L, the risk of DR Increased by 14% for every 1 μmol/L increase in Hcy [odds ratio ( OR)=0.92, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 0.88-0.98, P<0.05]. When Hcy <15 μmol/L, there was no significant difference ( OR=0.96, 95% CI 0.92-1.08, P>0.05). When SUA≥304 μmol/L, the risk of DR increased by 17%, every 20 μmol/L SUA increased ( OR=0.80, 95% CI 0.68-0.94, P<0.05). When SUA <304 μmol/L, the difference was not statistically significant ( OR=0.83, 95% CI 0.72-0.95, P>0.05). ROC curve analysis results showed that the AUC values of Hcy, SUA and Hcy combined with SUA in predicting the occurrence of DR in T2DM patients were 0.775 (95% CI 0.713-0.837, P<0.001), 0.757 (95% CI 0.680-0.834, P<0.001) and 0.827 (95% CI 0.786-0.868, P<0.001). Hcy combined with SUA showed better predictive efficiency. Conclusions:The abnormal increase of Hcy and SUA levels in T2DM patients are closely related to the occurrence of DR, they are independent risk factors for the occurrence of DR. Hcy combined with SUA has high predictive value for the occurrence of DR.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the serum uric acid levels among employees with different psychological states.Methods:From January 2019 to August 2021, 200 in-service employees of various enterprises and public institutions receiving health screening in PLA General Hospital were selected as the participants for this study. Based on the scores of psychological stress, anxiety, and depression scale, each of the three psychological states was divided into four groups from mild to severe. The baseline data, serum uric acid level, creatinine level, and urea nitrogen level of participants were studied to explore the relationship between different psychological states and changes serum uric acid level.Results:According to the degree of psychological stress, anxiety, and depression, serum uric acid levels were 198.52±30.24 μmol/L, 256.52±10.33 μmol/L, 354.20±15.54 μmol/L, and 399.20±20.20 μmol/L ( F value 694.662, P<0.001), respectively. There was statistical difference in serum uric acid level of employees with different psychological statuses; with the aggravation of psychological status, the serum uric acid level showed a trend of gradually increasing from low to high. There was a positive correlation between the scores of different psychological states and uric acid level ( r=0.885, 0.780, 0.794, P<0.05), and no correlation between uric acid level and creatinine and urea nitrogen levels ( r=1.869, 3.887, 5.798, P>0.05). Conclusions:The serum uric acid level of employees varied with different types of psychological states. The greater the psychological stress is,the more serious the degree of depression and anxiety and the higher the serum uric acid level would be. The increase in uric acid level has no relationship with creatinine and urea nitrogen level.

Objective To investigate the correlation between uric acid level and macrovascular disease in type 2 diabetic patients.Methods Sixty type 2 diabetic patients with lower limb atherosclerosis of carotid artery were randomly selected in study group who hospitalized in the First Hospital of Zibo from Mar.to Feb.2012.Sixty type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) without carotid and lower limb athemsclerosis were served as control group.The blood pressure,blood lipid,blood glucose and other biochemical indexes,including blood uric acid,serum insulin (FNS),fasting blood glucose (FPG),apolipoprotein a (LP (a)),apolipoprotein A1,B (APO-A1,APO-B),glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),low density lipopmtein cholesterol (LDL-C),triacylglycerol (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) were measured and determined.Results There was no significant difference in terms of blood pressure,blood lipid levels,APO-A1,APO-B,HbA1C,FNS and FPG in study group patiems (P ＞ 0.05).The level LP(a) in study group was (0.4 ± 0.2) g/L,significantly higher than that in control group ((0.2 ± 0.2) g/L; t =3.842,P ＜ 0.01).The blood uric acid level in study group was (362.3 ± 112.8)mmol/L,significantly higher than that of the control group((284.8 ±68.6)mmol/L;t =3.188,P＜0.01).Conclusion Uric acid and LP(a) are involved in the oocurrence and development of athemsclemsis,which is close related to the development of type 2 diabetic macmangiopathy.Therefore,in the process of preventing type 2 diabetes with macroangiopathy,we should pay attention to uric acid and LP (a) of the patient beside effective control of blood glucose,blood pressure,blood lipid level.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure,blood glucose,lipid profiles and blood uric acid in healthy populations in Hefei of Anhui province.Methods A total of 3 640 healthy adults were enrolled to analyze the relationship between BMI and blood pressure and serum levels of lipid profiles,uric acid and glucose.Results The mean BMI of the subjects was (25.5±2.8) kg/m2 (men vs women:(26.3±2.5) vs (23.9±2.8) kg/m2).BMI showed a significant difference in different age groups (P＜0.05).Different BMI subgroup had statistically significant difference in blood pressure,glucose,lipid profiles and uric acid.In different gender and age groups,BMI,blood pressure,glucose,blood lipid and uric acid were found to be significantly different.Conclusion The prevalence of obesity and overweight is high in our health check-up populations.It should be important to prevent and control hypertension,high blood glucose,high blood uric acid and other chronic diseases.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between homocysteine(Hcy)and blood uric acid(UA)in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)complicating hypertension.Methods 85 patients with T2DM complicating hypertension were se-lected as the groupⅠ,78 patients with simple T2DM as the group Ⅱ and 74 individuals with healthy physical examination as the group Ⅲ.Hcy,UA,TC,TG and HDL-C were measured in all the subjects.Results Compared with group Ⅲ(control),the levels of Hcy,UA,TC and TG in the group Ⅰand groupⅡwere significantly increased(P <0.05),but the level of HDL-C was significantly decreased(P <0.05).Compared with the group Ⅱ(T2DM),the levels of Hcy,UA,TC and TG in the group Ⅰwere significantly in-creased(P <0.05 ),but the level of HDL-C was obviously decreased,the difference had statistical significance (P <0.05 ).There was good positive correlation between the Hcy level and the UA level in the patients with T2DM complicating hypertension (r =0.658,P <0.05).Conclusion The levels of Hcy and UA are significantly increased in the patients with T2DM especially complica-ting hypertension.High Hcy and high UA are the important risk factors of T2DM complicating cardiocerebrovascular diseases.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the effect of Tongxi Powder (TP) on decreasing the uric acid of mice with acute hyperuricemia. Methods: The mice were divided into model, allopurinol (positive control, 10 mg/kg), low-, mid-, and high-dose (100, 300, and 500 mg/kg) TP groups. Except the model group, mice in other groups were administered once daily for 3 d. The acute hyperuricemia model of mice was established 2 h after the last administration and then ip uric acid (450 mg/kg), and the blood uric acid contents were determined after 80 min. Results: Compared with the model group, TP at mid-and high-dose could obviously decrease the blood uric acid level in mice (P < 0.01), so did allopurinol (P < 0.01). The effect of high-dose TP group was the same as that of allopurinol group. Conclusion: TP could inhibit the increase of blood uric acid in mice with acute hyperuricemia.
