RÉSUMÉ
Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a myocardial complication associated with abnormal glucose metabolism and dyslipidiaemia, which increases the risk of death and heart failure in diabetic patients. Mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in the occurrence and development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Recent studies have confirmed that scavenging damaged mitochondria in cardiomyocytes through mitophagy can restore mitochondrial homeostasis, reduce oxidative stress and improve diabetic cardiomyopathy. Therefore, this article provides a comprehensive review of the mechanisms and characteristics of mitochondrial autophagy in diabetic cardiomyopathy. It aims to offer new insights and theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
RÉSUMÉ
Hypoglycemia is the most common complication of the treatment for diabetes mellitus. Current studies suggest that recurrent hypoglycemia induces impaired awareness of hypoglycemia in diabetes by the failure of sympathetic nerve response or other mechanisms, which increases the risk of severe hypoglycemia and hypoglycemic fear in diabetics. Therefore, exploring the pathogenesis and preventive measures of impaired awareness of hypoglycemia is expected to provide new ideas for reducing severe hypoglycemia events and conducting subsequent studies.

Objective@#To explore the activity of auranofin against ovarian cancer cells and its possible molecular mechanism．@*Methods @#The dose-response survival curve and IC50 of auranofin on ovarian cancer cell lines ，SKOV3，Caov3 and SW626 cells and immortalized normal human embryonic kidney HEK-293T cells were determined by CCK-8 method．Cell cycle was determined by flow cytometry．The levels of total glutathione ( GSH) ，reduced GSH and glutathione disulfide ( GSSG) ，thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells were determined by microplate reader，and the reduced GSH / GSSG ratio was calculated．Western blot was used to determine the expression of cyclin dependent kinases( CDK) 4，CDK6，Cyclin D1，P53，p-P53 and MDM2 in SKOV3 and Caov3 ovarian cancer cells. @*Results @#Compared with HEK-293T cells，the dose-response survival curves and IC50 values of SKOV3，Caov3 and SW626 cells showed that ovarian cancer cells were more sensitive to auranofin (P＜0. 05) ．After SKOV3 and Caov3 cells were treated with the dose of respective IC50 concentrations of auranofin，compared with the untreated cells group，the Auranofin IC50 group cells' intracellular levels of GSH，the ratio of reduced GSH / GSSG and the activity of TrxR decreased (t = 25. 11 /31. 18，14. 72 /19. 92，43. 30 /10. 74， all P＜0. 05) ，and the levels of ROS increased (t = 23. 82 /27. 71，P＜0. 05) ; cells number at G0 / G1 phases increased，with cells number at S and G2 phases decreased (P＜0. 05) ; and the expression levels of cell cycle-related proteins CDK4，CDK6，Cyclin D1 and the P53-specific E3 ubiquitin ligase MDM2 were down-regulated (t = 7. 51 /15. 59，17. 32 /11. 26，20. 78 /20. 78，24. 25 /17. 32，all P＜0. 05) ，while the expression levels of P53 and p-P53 were up-regulated (t = 17. 32 /24. 25，12. 12 /10. 39，all P ＜0. 05) ．@*Conclusion@# Auranofin causes oxidative stress in ovarian cancer cells by inhibiting TrxR activity，and by partially degrading MDM2 to stabilize and acti- vate P53，so as to block the cancer cells in G0 / G1 phase，and exert anti-ovarian cancer activities.

Objective To investigate the application value of urine microalbumin (mALB) ,retinol binding protein(RBP) and cys-tatin C(CysC) and their combined detection in early diagnosis of type 2 diabetic nephropathy(DN) .Methods Ninety-two inpatients with DN (DN group) and 90 people undergoing the physical examination(control group) in our hospital from June 2014 to Decem-ber 2015 were collected .Urine mALB ,RBP and CysC were detected in all subjects and detection results were analyzed statistically . Results The levels of urine mALB ,RBP and CysC in the DN group were significantly higher than those in the control group ,the differences all had statistical significance (P< 0 .05) .Among 3 indicators ,the positive rate of urine mALB for detecting DN was highest (94 .57% ) ,while which of 3-index combined detection was 97 .83% ,and significantly higher than that of single detection , the difference was statistically significant(P<0 .05) .The sensitivity ,specificity ,positive predictive value ,negative predictive value and Youden index of 3-index combined detection were all higher than those of single index .The ROC curve showed that AUC of u-rine mALB for diagnosing DN was 0 .732 ,the diagnostic cut-off value was 43 .58 mg/L ,AUC of urine RBP was 0 .685 ,the diagnos-tic cut-off value was 1 .47 mg/mL ,AUC of urine CysC was 0 .701 ,the diagnostic cut-off value was 1 .42 mg/L ,while AUC of com-bined detection was 0 .928 .Conclusion Urine mALB ,RBP and CysC are better indexes reflecting renal injury .Their combined de-tection will increase the positive rate ,sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing DN .So monitoring the levels of urine mALB ,RBP and CysC has an important significance to diagnosing the occurrence and development of DN early renal injury and prevention ,treat-ment and delaying progress of DN .
