ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationships between the level of blood glucose in critical ill children with the degree of critical illness and the variation of immunoreactive insulin (IRI) and true insulin (TI).Methods Fiftyeight children form the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and Department of Respiration were enrolled in this study.The children were divided into PICU group (42 cases) and control group (16 cases).The PICU group were scored pediatric critical score in 24 hours after admission.The 42 critical ill children were divided into stress hyperglycemia group (20 cases) and non-stress hyperglycemia group (22 cases) according to their blood glucose levels.The IRI,TI,C-Peptide and blood glucose were measured.Results The pediatric critical illness score of stress hyperglycemia group [(74.80 ± 8.07) scores] was significantly lower than that of non-stress hyperglycemia group [(84.36 ±9.46) scores] (t =1.964,P ＜ 0.05).The death rate of stress hyperglycemia group (45.0％,9/20 cases) was significantly higher than that of non-stress hyperglycemia group (13.6％,3/22 cases) (x2 =5.05,P ＜ 0.05).The IRI,TI and C-Peptide of stress hyperglycemia group were significantly higher than those of non-stress hyperglycemia group and control group(F =136.90,61.25,45.89,all P ＜ 0.05).The TI/IRI of stress hyperglycemia group was significantly lower than that of non-stress hyperglycemia group and control group (F =27.64,P ＜ 0.05).The TI,IRI and C-Peptide of stress hyperglycemia group were higher than after admission (t =2.241,2.087,2.014,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The children with critical illness have stress hyperglycemia and the component of insulin is changed,and the absolute level as well as the rate of TI and TI/IRI are descended.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the changes of first-phase insulin secretion and its components in the first-degree relatives of Chinese type 2 diabetics with normal glucose tolerance and their correlation with type 2 diabetes. Methods The first-degree relatives of type 2 diabetes (Group B, n=35), newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients (Group C, n=35) and health subjects (Group A, n=21) were recruited. Immune reactive insulin (IRI), proinsulin (PI), and true insulin (TI) were determined during intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) in each subjects. IRI was determined with radioimmunoassay kit, while PI and TI with ELISA kits. Results (1) For the fasting sera, the levels of IRI and PI showed significant differences (both P
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate clinical significance of proinsulin and true insulin in obese children with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).Methods There were 21 IGT and 52 normal glucose tolerance (NGT) children. Control cases were 40 normal children. The levels of serum fasting proinsulin,true insulin,insulin,c-peptide and glucose were measured in all the subjects.Results 1.Levels of fasting proinsulin,c-peptide, glucose, insulin, true insulin and homeostasis insulin resistance in obese children with IGT showed significant difference compared with NGT (P
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the first-phase insulin release and insulin sensitivity in patients with newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes.Methods A total of 332 patients with newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes were classified into two groups of normal or abnormal islet function according to arginine stimulation test,and their results were evaluated.Results (1)Body weight,body mass index (BMI),waist circumference,hip circumference,femoral circumference,fasting serum true insulin and triglyceride in normal islet function group were significantly higher than those in abnormal group (all P
