RESUMEN
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Yiqi Yangyin Jiangtang Prescription(mainly composed of Astragali Radix,Rehmanniae Radix,Imperatae Rhizoma,Ophiopogonis Radix,and Puerariae Lobatae Radix)combined with acupoint injection in the treatment of newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods One hundred patients with newly-diagnosed T2DM of qi-yin deficiency complicated with blood stasis type were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group,with 50 patients in each group.The control group was given oral use of Metformin Hydrochloride Tablets,and the treatment group was given the granules of Yiqi Yangyin Jiangtang Prescription orally combined with acupoint injection at unilateral points of Zusanli(ST36),Shenshu(BL23)and Qihai(CV6)on the basis of treatment for the control group.The course of treatment lasted for 4 weeks.Before and after the treatment,the two groups were observed in the changes of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores,fasting plasma glucose(FPG),2-hour postprandial blood glucose(2hPG),glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),and serum levels of inflammatory factors of interleukin 6(IL-6),C-reactive protein(CRP),tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),as well as the hemorheology indicators of whole blood low-shear viscosity and whole blood high-shear viscosity.After treatment,the clinical efficacy and safety of the two groups were evaluated.Results(1)During the trial,5 cases fell off from the treatment group and 4 cases fell off from the control group,and a total of 91 patients were eventually included in the efficacy statistics,of which 45 cases were in the treatment group and 46 cases were in the control group.(2)After 4 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate of the treatment group was 93.33%(42/45),and that of the control group was 71.74%(33/46).The intergroup comparison(tested by chi-square test)showed that the therapeutic effect of the treatment group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P＜0.01).(3)After treatment,the scores of TCM symptoms of dry mouth and throat,frequent nocturia,shortness of breath and fatigue,hot flushes and night sweating as well as the total TCM syndrome scores in the two groups were significantly lower than those before the treatment(P＜0.05),and the reduction of the scores in the treatment group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P＜0.01).(4)After treatment,the levels of blood glucose and lipid indicators of FPG,2hPG,HbA1c,TC and TG of patients in the two groups were decreased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the decrease in the treatment group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(5)After treatment,the serum levels of inflammatory factors of IL-6,CRP,and TNF-α in the two groups were all lower than those before treatment(P＜0.01),and the reduction in the treatment group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.01).(6)After treatment,the levels of hemorheology indicators such as whole blood low-shear viscosity and high-shear viscosity in the two groups were all lower than those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the reduction in the treatment group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(7)The incidence of adverse reactions in the treatment group was 8.89%(4/45),which was significantly lower than that of the control group(21.74%,10/46),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.01).Conclusion Yiqi Yangyin Jiangtang Prescription combined with acupoint injection exerts certain effect in treating patients with newly-diagnosed T2DM of qi-yin deficiency complicated with blood stasis syndrome type.The combined therapy can effectively alleviate the early clinical manifestations,decrease the levels of blood glucose,blood lipids,and inflammatory factors,and improve the hematological indicators and the quality of life of the patients.
RESUMEN
Background: Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion and insulin action or both. T2DM is associated with chronic low grade inflammation, possibly through a pathway involving a cytokine-mediated acute-phase response to infection and other inflammatory processes. authors aim to study C-reactive protein (CRP) which is an acute-phase reactant produced primarily in the liver hepatocytes. Oxidative stress levels in newly diagnosed T2M patients were analysed with respect to malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO).Methods: Case-control study comprising of aged-sex matched subjects: newly diagnosed T2DM cases (n=30) and controls (n=30). The serum samples of subjects were analysed for levels of MDA by Buege and Aust method, while NO levels by Cortas and Wakid’s kinetic cadmium reduction method using spectrophotometer. CRP levels were analysed by using turbidimetry. Statistical analysis was done using Mini-tab 17 software with 95% confidence interval.Results: Serum levels of MDA, NO and CRP in newly diagnosed T2DM patients were significantly increased as compared to healthy controls.Conclusions: Authors concluded that the oxidative stress and inflammation plays a pivotal role in the aetiology of hyperglycemia in T2DM. Oxidative stress and inflammatory markers might help prognosis of T2DM in hyperglycemic individuals with the help of which precautionary measure can be taken to reduce the rate of disease progression. Treatment involving anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory medications might help to rescue vital organs from damage.
RESUMEN
AIM:To investigate the serum miRNA-101 expression level in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM),and to evaluate the clinical implications of miRNA-101 expression level variation.METHODS:qRT-PCR was used to determine the serum miRNA-101 expression level.Pearson correlation analysis was performed to observe the relationship between two variables.Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis was used to assess the association of serum miRNA-101 level and other parameters.RESULTS:Serum miRNA-101 level in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM was significantly higher than that in control subjects (P ＜ 0.05).The serum level of miRNA-101 was positively correlated with the glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c,P ＜0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the circulating miRNA-101 was in significant positive correlation with HbA1c (P ＜ 0.05) after adjustment for age,sex and body weight.CONCLUSION:Enhanced circulating miRNA-101 level in newly diagnosed T2DM patients may be associated with elevation of HbA1 c.

RESUMEN
Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of glargine(Lantus) versus biphasic insulin aspart 30 (30% free and 70% protamine-bound, BIAsp 30) after continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion treatment (CSII) in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods A 20 week open and random study was performed. All 60 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM were randomly divided into two groups. Group B patients was treated by glargine and group A received treatment with BIAsp 30 administered immediately before dinner and breakfast. Blood glucose at 7 time points, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c) and hypoglycemia were observed. Results The postprandial glucose(PPG) was significantly lower in group B than in group A (P<0.05), and the frequency of hypoglycaemic episodes was lower in group B than in group A (P<0.05). The fasting blood glucose(FBG) was not different between two groups (P>0.05). And there was no difference between two groups in HbA1c and other adverse events. Conclusions Glargine is surperior to BIAsp30, not only in controlling the PPG but also in reducing the incidence of hypoglycemia.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the remission rate of the therapy of integrated TCM into intensive insulin treatment, and the relationship between each factor and the remission rate. The effect of TCM on improving ?-cell fimction and remission rate was also studied. Methods Forty-seven newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients were shortly treated with both continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and Chinese medicine. The remission rate was observed. The relationship between each factor and remission was analyzed by logistic regression. The ?-cell function of patients in remission group were evluated at the end of the treatment and during the period of follow-up. Results After treatment of (11.8?2.5)d, BMI and the ratio of the days of blood glucose reaching the standard and the total treatment days were the mainly factors affecting the remission. The remission rate at the end of treatment, one month after treatment and follow-up period (about six month) was 46.8%, 55.3%, 53.3% respectively. In following up, the remission rate in the Chinese medicine group and the control group was 66.7%, 44.4% respectively. Conclusions About half of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients obtain clinical remission after the short-term intensive treatment of integrated insulin and Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine may have positive impaction on remission and extending honeymoon period.
