A clinical analysis of insulin antibody in type 2 diabetic patients / 中华内科杂志

This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between serum insulin levels and the production of insulin antibody (IA) in type 2 diabetes (T2DM).A total of 647 T2DM were included.Among them,20.9％ patients were IA positive,who were elder and had a longer duration,lower BMI,a higher positive rate of glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody(GADAb) and higher serum insulin levels during an insulin secretion test.More patients were treated with insulin in IA positive group than in IA negative group (65.9％ vs 41.0％,P =0.000).Fasting serum insulin level was associated with occurrence of IA in all patients (OR =1.02,P =0.001) and insulin treated patients (OR =1.033,P =0.002).The cut-off point of fasting serum insulin level for predicting IA positive was 17.87 mIU/L (sensitivity 55.1％,specificity 89.0％).Exogenous insulin use is associated with the presence of IA.Fasting serum insulin level can be used as a predictor for the production of IA in insulin-treated patients.

Mechanism of Chinese herbal medicine delaying glomerulosclerosis in diabetic nephropathy / 中国中药杂志

The pathomechanisms of glomerulosclerosis in diabetic nephropathy (DN) are considered to be related with glycometabolism disorder, podocyte injury, intra-renal hemodynamics abnormality, fibrogenic cytokines over-expression, oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction. Chinese herbal medicine could delay the progression of glomerulosclerosis in DN by ameliorating the harmful factors of these pathological changes. Therefore, it is possible to postpone the progress of DN to end-stage renal disease through the treatment with Chinese herbal medicine.

Association between the plasma homocysteine level,gene polymorphism of N5,N10 methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase and Binswanger's disease / 临床神经病学杂志

0.05).Conclusions The level of plasma Hcy in BD patients are higher than that of in the controls.Hyperhomocysteine may take part in the pathogenesis of BD, but the MTHFR gene C677T genotypes are not associated with BD.

Correlation between single nucleotide polymorphism of adiponectin gene and type 2 diabetes in Chinese / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of adiponectin gene (SNP+45 and SNP+276) were screened in Chinese population. The results showed that the distribution of SNP+45 genotypes were significantly different and G/G genotype in type 2 diabetic population appeared more frequently than that in non-diabetic population. It suggests that adiponectin gene seems to be the susceptive gene in Chinese type 2 diabetics.

Relationship of glycosylated hemoglobin A1C and postprandial blood glucose with urinary albumin excretion ratein patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus / 临床检验杂志

Objective To investigate the relationship of glycosylated hemoglobin A1C(HBA1c) and 2 hour postprandial blood glucose(2hPBG) with 12-hour urinary albumin excretion rate(UAE).Methods One hundred and thirteen patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),whose fast blood glucose(FBG) levels after treatment were less than 7.0 mmol/L,and 54 healthy subjects were the control group in this study.The level of HBA1c was detected by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).The level of 2hPBG was measured by glucose oxidase assay and the level of UAE was detected by radioimmunoassay.According to the level of HBA1c and 2hPBG,the patients were divided into 4 groups: group A(HBA1c7% and PBG
