Résumé
Objective@#To investigate the relationship between body fat percentage (BF%) and high blood pressure among adolescents in Shanghai, and to provide basis for early prevention and intervention of cardcovascular diseases.@*Methods@#By using stratified cluster sampling method, a total of 5 148 adolescent students in 16 schools from 16 districts of Shanghai were selected. Questionnaire survey and physical examination were performed. The bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) was used to measure body fat percentage. National Blood Pressure Reference for Chinese Han Children was used to define high blood pressure. And T test, chi-square test and Logistici regression were used to assess the relation between BF% with high blood pressure.@*Results@#The prevalence of high blood pressure in 5 148 junior middle school students in Shanghai was 10.98%, with girls (13.13%) higher than boys (8.99%)(χ 2=22.48, P<0.01). The average total body fat percentage of male students was (20.90±10.73)%, which decreased with age (linear trend variance is 10.04, P<0.01). The average total body fat percentage of girls was (25.14±8.03)%, which increased with age (linear trend variance is 69.23, P<0.01). After adjusted for age, diet, exercise and other influencing factors, the prevalence of hypertension showed an increasing trend with the increase of body fat percentage for both boys and girls. The risk of high blood pressure in boys with BF%≥P 90 was 12.43 times higher than that in boys with BF%<P 25(95%CI=6.98-22.14), while the risk of high blood pressure in girls with BF% ≥P 90 was 6.12 times higher than that in girls with BF%<P 25(95%CI=3.89-9.63).@*Conclusion@#There was a positive correlation between body fat percentage and high blood pressure in adolescents. The prevalence of high blood pressure increased with the increase of body fat percentage, which was more obvious in boys.

Objective To investigate urine adiponectin changes and related factors in different stage of type-2 diabetic ne-phropathy.Methods A total of 1 1 9 DN patients admitted to the Yongchuan Hospital of Chongqing Medical University in 2013 were selected.The general indices and laboratory examination results were retrospectively analyzed.1 1 9 type-2 diabetic nephropathy patients were divided into normal Proteinuria group,micro-Proteinuria group,macro-Proteinuria group,according to urine albumin excretion rate in 24 hours.45 health subjects from Physical examination center were enrolled as normal group.The UAER of the three groups were compared and the correlation between each index and UAER was analyzed.Results Urine adiponectin levels in normal Proteinuria group was significantly lower than micro-Proteinuria group(P <0.01)and macro-Proteinuria group(P <0.01). Urine adiponectin levels in micro-Proteinuria group was significantly lower than macro-Proteinuria group (P <0.01)and higher than normal group(P < 0.01 ).Urine adiponectin levels in macro-Proteinuria group were significantly higher than normal group (P <0.01 ).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that HDL-C,FPG,HbA1c and UAER had effects on the levels of Urine adiponec-tin.Conclusion Urinary adiponectin levels are associated with type 2 diabetic nephropathy,and which was related with HDL-C, FPG,HbA1c and UAER.

Objective To compare zinc-finger BED domain-containing 3 ( ZBED3 ) expression in various tissues of C57BL/6J mice and the effects of liraglutide, glucose, and insulin on the levels of ZBED3 protein expression in C57BL/6J mice and db/db mice. Methods The mRNA level of ZBED3 in various tissues of C57BL/6J mice was measured by realtime PCR. The protein level of ZBED3 was measured by using western blot. Results ZBED3 mRNA levels were detected in muscle, spleen, kidney, brain, heart, lung, and liver of C57BL/6J mice, yielding the highest expression in muscle. Additionally, The liver ZBED3 levels were higher in db/db mice compared with C57BL/6J mice (P<0. 01). Furthermore, the protein expression of ZBED3 was significantly increased in liver tissues of db/db mice treated with high concentrations of liraglutide, glucose or insulin(P<0. 05), however, the expression of ZBED3 only responded to high concentration of glucose in liver tissues of C57BL/6J mice. Conclusion ZBED3 may act as a novel factor in regulating glucose metabolism. The expression of ZBED3 can be regulated by liraglutide, glucose, and insulin. Thus, ZBED3 may play an important role in conditioning of hyperglycemia.
Résumé
Plasma nesfatin-1 levels were assayed by ELISA in patients with impaired glucose regulation (IGR),type 2 diabetes mellitus( T2DM ),and healthy subjects with normal glucose tolerance( control group).The results showed that plasma nesfatin-1 levels in IGR and T2DM groups were significantly higher than that in control group [ ( 1.91 ±0.79 and 1.80±0.80 vs 1.41 ±0.58) μg/L,P<0.01 ].Plasma nesfatin-1 levels were positively correlated with body mass index(BMI),HbA1c,waist hip ratio,fasting plasma glucose,fasting insulin,and homoestasis model assessment insulin resistant index( HOMA-IR,P<0.05 or P<0.01 ).Multiple regression analysis showed that BMI and HOMA-IR were independent related factors in influencing plasma nesfatin-1 levels (both P<0.01 ).These results suggest that nesfatin-1 may partially contribute to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and T2DM.
