RESUMO

Objective: To analyze the value of applying random urine potassium-to-creatinine ratio (rUK/Ucr) in diagnosing renal potassium loss. Methods: patients diagnosed with hypokalemia, including 373 cases of renal potassium loss, 83 cases of non-renal potassium loss , and 358 cases of normal serum potassium, between 2017 and 2021 were enrolled. The clinical data of the patients were collected and the correlation between rUK/Ucr and 24-hour urine potassium (24 hUK) in the three groups was analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the value of applying rUK/Ucr in diagnosing renal potassium loss. Results: Serum potassium decreased in the normal serum potassium group, the renal potassium loss group, and the non-renal renal potassium loss group ( P<0.01). The 24 hUK and the rUK/Ucr of the renal potassium loss group were higher than those of the non-renal potassium loss group and normal serum potassium group ( P<0.01). rUK/Ucr showed low to moderate correlation with 24 hUK. The AUC of 24 hUK and rUK/Ucr for determining renal potassium loss were 0.73 and 0.71, respectively. When the optimal cutoff point of rUK/Ucr for determining renal potassium loss was 3.4, the sensitivity was 67.6% and the specificity was 67.5%. Conclusion: rUK/Ucr shows a moderate correlation with 24 hUK and its accuracy in determining renal potassium loss is comparable to that of 24 hUK. When 24-hour urine samples cannot be obtained, it is recommended that rUK/Ucr be used instead of 24 hUK to determine whether renal potassium loss exists, with the optimal cutoff point for diagnosis being 3.4.

RESUMO

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. The diagnosis procedure of PA includes screening, confirmatory diagnosis and subtype classification. International and national guidelines recommended plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) to plasma renin activity (PRA) ratio (ARR) to detect possible cases of PA, and one or more tests (fludrocortisone suppression test, saline infusion test, oral sodium loading test, or captopril challenge test) to confirm ARR positive patients. Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is also recommended as the best method to distinguish unilateral and bilateral adrenal disease when surgical treatment is feasible and desired by the patient. However, many studies find that each of the above diagnostic method has shortcomings. Recently, more and more studies are attempting to explore new methods with higher diagnostic efficiency and more conveniences, including new screening tests, new confirmatory diagnostic tests, new imaging and pathological histology methods. In our studies, the regression model, which included upright PAC, upright PRA, and lowest potassium, is superior to ARR for PA screening; the blood potassium and the ratio of blood potassium to blood sodium after the saline infusion test are not suitable for PA subtyping. This article will review the advances and progress in PA diagnosis.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To explore the electrolyte characteristics between different types of primary aldosteronism (PA), especially the value of serum potassium and the ratio of sodium to potassium after saline infusion test (SIT) in differential diagnosis of PA. METHODS: The clinical data was collected from 135 patients who received screening for the causes of hypertension from Jan. 2009 to Dec. 2018 in West China Hospital. The patients were divided into two groups: essential hypertension group (EH group, 34 patients) and primary aldosteronism group (PA group, 101 patients). PA patients were divided into aldosterone-producing adenoma group (APA group, 60 patients) and idiopathic hyperaldosteronism group (IHA group, 41 patients). To analyze the value of serum potassium and the ratio of sodium to potassium after SIT in the differential diagnosis of PA with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS: Compared with EH group, the serum potassium level of APA group was lower either before or after SIT ( P<0.01). The ratio of sodium to potassium before and after SIT in APA group were higher than that in EH group ( P<0.05). There were no differences between APA group and IHA group in the level of serum potassium and the ratio of sodium to potassium before SIT. The level of serum potassium after SIT in APA group was lower than that in IHA group ( P<0.01), and the ratio of sodium to potassium was higher ( P<0.05). The area under ROC curve ( AUC) of serum potassium level and the ratio of sodium to potassium after SIT were 0.641 and 0.646, respectively, while the AUC of aldosterone level was 0.788. The optimal cut-off value of serum sodium level was 3.56 mmol/L, with a sensitivity and specificity of 46.7% and 85.4%. The optimal cut-off value of ratio of sodium to potassium was 39.09, with 53.3% and 80.5% in sensitivity and specificity. CONCLUSION: The serum potassium and the ratio of sodium to potassium after SIT has limited diagnostic value for its low sensitivity in differential diagnosis of PA.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical characteristics of aldosterone producing adenoma (APA) and idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA) complicated with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and the effect of OSAHS on renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) in APA and IHA patients. METHODS: The clinical data of 127 patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) diagnosed from May 2010 to Aug. 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 70 cases of APA, 53 cases of IHA. Another 4 cases were primary adrenal hyperplasia (PAH), so not included into further analysis. According to the results of polysomnography, the 123 patients of APA or IHA were divided into OSAHS group (96 cases) and non-OSAHS group (27 cases ). The patients with OSAHS were divided into mild, moderate and severe subgroups based on apnea hypopnea index (AHI).The clinical characteristics, biochemical parameters, plasma renin activity, aldosterone levels, and the ratio of aldosterone to renin activity (ARR) in the patients of APA and IHA complicated with OSAHS were compared with those of the patients without OSAHS. RESULTS: There were 49 OSAHS cases (49/70, 70.0%) in APA patients. and 47 OSAHS cases (47/53, 88.7%) in IHA patients. The age, male ratio, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, triglyceride, blood uric acid, and blood creatinine in APA patients with OSAHS were higher than those in APA patients without OSAHS ( P<0.05), while high-density lipoprotein and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were lower ( P<0.05). Compared to the patients without OSAHS, IHA-OSAHS patients had higher BMI and waist circumference ( P<0.05). Moderate/severe OSAHS-APA patients exhibited higher plasma renin activity levels and lower ARR values than the APA patients with no/mild OSAHS ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in plasma renin activity, aldosterone levels, and ARR values between moderate/severe OSAHS-IHA group and no/mild OSAHS-IHA group. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of OSAHS is significantly higher in the patients with PA than normal population, and OSAHS may aggravate glycose, lipid and uric acid metabolism in PA patients. Moderate/severe OSAHS can increase renin levels and decrease ARR values in APA patients, but has no significant effect on RAAS in IHA patients.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To summary the clinical diagnosis and treatment of primary aldosteronism (PA) in West China Hospital (WCH) of Sichuan University during 2009-2018. METHODS: This study enrolled the patients diagnosed as PA and admitted in WCH of Sichuan University from January 2009 to December 2018. The information of the patients including epidemiological and clinical data, diagnosis and treatment as well as therapeutic outcomes were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 853 patients with 1 248 diagnostic cases were included in the analysis, and the diagnosis cases of PA increased year by year from 2009 to 2018. Most patients (74.33%) were confirmed the diagnosis in the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism and then admitted to the hospital. PA was more frequent in female than in male, with a ratio of female to male about 1.34∶1. Hypertension was the most common chief complaint, in contrast, the proportion of fatigue and/or numbness as the symptoms of hypokalemia was declining. More and more patients were diagnosed because of imaging examination founding adrenal incidentoma. After 2016, more and more patients were diagnosed by recumbent saline suppression test and captopril challenge test, and the number of adrenal venous sampling to classify PA subtypes was increasing to help choosing different treatment options. The proportion of surgical treatment decreased year by year, and more and more patients adopted medical treatment or transferred to surgery with combined treatment instead of simple operation. CONCLUSION: During the past 10 years, remarkable progress was made in the diagnosis and treatment of PA. Hypertension was the most important clinical manifestation of PA, so the screening of PA in hypertensive patients should be strengthened. Adrenal incidentaloma has become prevalent manifestation of PA with an increasing trend, which needs more attention in clinical practice.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the the feasibility and diagnostic efficiencyvalue of different screening indexesmethods for screening primary aldosteronism (PA). METHODS: The clinical data of 499 patients with PA and 479 patients with essential hypertension diagnosed from Jan. 2009 to Dec. 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The diagnostic performance of different screening indexs was compared by plotting receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC). RESULTS: The area under the ROC curve ( AUC) of the plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) to plasma renin activity (PRA) ratio (ARR) was greater than that of the ratio of the upright PAC to the angiotensin Ⅱ (AT-Ⅱ) (AA2R), upright PRA, upright PAC, supine ARR, and lowest blood potassium ( P<0.05). The AUC of logistic regression model was greater than that of upright ARR (96.3% vs. 94.6%, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in AUC between decision tree model and upright ARR (94.1% vs. 94.6%, P>0.05). In the test set, the AUC difference between the logistic regression model and the decision tree model was not statistically significant (96.3% vs. 94.1%, P > 0.05). The calibration curve of the logistic regression model is closer to the 45 ° line, and the consistency between the prediction probability and the actual probability of the logistic regression model is better than that of the decision tree model. CONCLUSION: For the screening of PA, upright ARR seems to be the best single screening index, while AA2R (radioimmunoassay) is not recommended. The diagnostic efficacy of logistic regression model including upright PAC, PRA and lowest blood potassium is better than that of single upright ARR.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To compare the predictive value of different measures of obesity for metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adult Yi and Han nationality population. METHODS: A total of 3 492 urban and rural residents in Chengdu and Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture participated in this study. Demographic and laboratory data were collected. Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between different obesity measurement indexes and MetS. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to compare the predictive value between different obesity measurement indexes. RESULTS: Spearman correlation analysis showed that MetS was related to body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), lipid accumulation index (LAP) and visceral adiposity index (VAI). The ROC curve showed that the LAP had the highest predictive value for MetS in both Yi and Han male adults, area under the curves (AUCs) >0.90; whereas WHR had the lowest predictive value. WHtR had high predictive value for MetS in both Yi and Han female adults (AUCs >0.88), VAI had the worst predictive value. CONCLUSION: Among different measures of obesity, LAP may have the optimal predictive value for MetS in male adults as do WHtR in female adults either in Yi or Han nationality. These findings should be confirmed through the measure of visceral fat volume and prospective study.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of phenylalanine(Phe) on glucose uptake in mouse myoblast cell line C2C12 and to explore its relationship with mTOR-p70S6K pathway. METHODS: C2C12 cells were cultured to promote formation of multinucleated myotubes in vitro.The cells were deprived and incubated with Phe at different concentrations (1.25,2.5,5,10,20 mmol/L).Krebs-Ringer buffer (KRB) was used as control.The 2-NBDG was used to measure glucose uptake of C2C12.The expression of mTOR,p70S6K,IRS-1,and Akt protein were evaluated by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with KBP treatment,glucose uptake of the cells incubated with 5 mmol/L leucine (Leu) was decreased by 30% (P=0.001), while a 40% increase was detected in the cells incubated with 5 mmol/L Phe (P<0.01).The promotion of glucose uptake was Phe concentration-dependent.Phe stimulation had no effect on the phosphorylation of mTOR at Ser2448. Phosphorylation of p70S6K at Thr389 was inhibited in the cells incubated with Phe at concentration higher than 1.25 mmol/L, but the difference was not significant (P=0.815). Leu stimulated but Phe over 1.25 mmol/L inhibited phosphorylation of IRS-1 at Ser636/639, although the difference was not significant (P=0.381).Neither Leu nor Phe affected the expression of phospho-Akt (Ser473) significantly. CONCLUSION: Phenylalanine inhibits phosphorylation of IRS-1 at Ser636/639 possibly through inhibiting the activation of p70S6K.The effect of Phe on mTOR-p70S6K pathway is Akt-independent.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To study the association of nt3434 A→G mutation in mitochondrial DNA NADH dehydrogenase 1 subunit (ND1) gene with diabetes mellitus. METHODS: PCR-RFLP was used to detect the nt3434 A→G variant of mtDNA ND1 gene in 216 diabetic patients and 203 healthy control individuals. Characteristics of mutation and clinical indicators in nt3434A→G family were analyzed. RESULTS: nt3434A→G mutation was detected in one diabetic patient but not found in NC group. This patient had low insulin secretion, low BMI, and elevated serum lactate acids. No significant difference was found in the mutation frequencies between these two groups. nt3434 A→G mutation was also detected in this patient's sister and daughter, who were normal glucose tolerance and had slightly elevated serum lactate acids levels. CONCLUSIONS: Further investigation would be helpful to answer whether nt3434A→G mutation of mitochondrial DNA ND1 gene is associated with an increased risk of diabetes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND/AIMS: To investigate a proper preoperative assessment and management of preoperative cardiac, pulmonary and digestive comorbidities in morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. METHODOLOGY: A general description of comorbidities in bariatric patients was reviewed and a clinical practice path in assessment and management of comorbidities was summarized. RESULTS: Morbidly obese patients frequently carried serious comorbidities in cardiovascular, pulmonary and digestive systems. The most common abnormalities included hypertension, left ventricular wall hypertrophy, ST and T wave abnormalities, obstructive sleep apnea, ventilatory dysfunction, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. A routine specialized preoperative evaluation could find the potential abnormality and screen the appropriate patients. Prophylactic treatments obviously reduced the morbidity of peri-operative complications CONCLUSION: Comprehensive preoperative evaluation and proper management is essential to appropriately select and prepare bariatric patients, and minimize surgical risk.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To study the effectiveness of waist circumference cut-off values in predicting the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and risk factors in adults in China. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was condcuted in 14 provinces (autonomous region, municipality) in China. A total of 47,325 adults aged⋝20 years were selected by multistage stratified sampling, and questionnaire survey and physical and clinical examination were conducted among them. MetS was defined according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria and modified IDF criteria. RESULTS: The age-standardized prevalence of MetS was 24.2% (22.1% in men and 25.8% in women) and 19.5% (22.1% in men and 18.0% in women) according to the IDF criteria and modified IDF criteria respectively. The age-standardized prevalence of pre-MetS was 8.1% (8.6% in men and 7.8% in women) according to the modified IDF criteria. The prevalence of MetS was higher in urban residents than rural residents and in northern China residents than in southern China residents. The prevalence of central obesity was about 30% in both men and women according to the ethnicity-specific cut-off values of waist circumference for central obesity (90 cm for men and 85 cm for women). Multivariate regression analysis revealed no significant difference in risk factors between the two MetS definitions. CONCLUSION: Using both the modified IDF criteria and ethnicity-specific cut-off values of waist circumference can provide more useful information about the prevalence of MetS in China. Conclusion Using both the modified IDF criteria and ethnicity-specific cut-off values of waist circumference can provide more useful information about the prevalence of MetS in China.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of hypertension and to identify factors associated with the prevention and control of hypertension in Chinese Yi populations. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan province. Random cluster sampling method was adopted to recruit participants. A total of 1 255 Yi people who were 20 years or older from one urban district and three rural villages participated in this study. Demographic and medical and laboratory data were collected from July to September 2007. The prevalence of hypertension and levels of awareness and control of hypertension were calculated and compared between genders and urban and rural residencies. RESULTS: The age-standardized prevalence of hypertension reached 17.3% in the Chinese Yi populations. Urban residents had a significantly higher level of prevalence of hypertension than that of rural residents (25.9% vs. 8.9%, P < 0.001). Among the hypertensive patients, 2.8% were aware of their high blood pressure, 26.1% were taking antihypertensive medications, and 8.8% had their blood pressures controlled (< 140/90 mm Hg). Urban residents had significantly higher levels of awareness (35%) and endorsement of treatment (31.1%) than their rural counterparts (13.6% for awareness and 10.6% for treatment, P < 0.001). For those living in urban areas, higher prevalence of hypertension was associated with older age, being a woman, having higher annual income (> or = yen 10,000), overweight/obesity and higher levels of total cholesterol. Older age and high levels of total cholesterol were also found to be associated with increased risk of hypertension in the rural residents. CONCLUSION: Hypertension is prevalent in Yi populations. The awareness and control of hypertension in Yi populations is poor. Public health interventions are needed.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Limitations of the currently recommended stepwise treatment pathway for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), especially the failure of monotherapies to maintain good glycemic control, have prompted use of early, more aggressive combination therapies.The VISION study is designed to explore the efficacy and safety of vildagliptin as an add-on to metformin therapy compared with up-titration of metformin monotherapy in Chinese patients with T2DM. METHODS: VISION, a 24-week, phase 4, prospective, randomized, multicenter, open-label, parallel-group study, will include 3312 Chinese T2DM patients aged ≥18 years who are inadequately controlled (6.5% >HbA1c ≤9%) by metformin (750-1000 mg/day). Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either vildagliptin plus metformin or up-titration of metformin monotherapy (5:1). Patients will also be subgrouped (1:1:1:1) based on their age and body mass index (BMI): <60 years and <24 kg/m²; <60 years and ≥24 kg/m²; ≥60 years and <24 kg/m²; and ≥60 years and ≥24 kg/m². CONCLUSION: The VISION study will test the hypothesis that early use of combination therapy with vildagliptin and metformin will provide good glycemic control and will be better tolerated than up-titration of metformin monotherapy. The study will also correlate these benefits with age and BMI.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing rapidly among Chinese adults, and limited data are available on T2DM management and the status of glycemic control in China. We assessed the efficacy of oral antidiabetes drugs (OADs), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, and insulin for treatment of T2DM across multiple regions in China. METHODS: This was a multicenter, cross-sectional survey of outpatients conducted in 606 hospitals across China. Data from all the patients were collected between April and June, 2011. RESULTS: A total of 238,639 patients were included in the survey. Eligible patients were treated with either OADs alone (n=157,212 [65.88%]), OADs plus insulin (n=80,973 [33.93%]), or OADs plus GLP-1 receptor agonists (n=454 [0.19%]). The OAD monotherapy, OAD + insulin, and OAD + GLP-1 receptor agonist groups had mean glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels (±SD) of 7.67% (±1.58%), 8.21% (±1.91%), and 7.80% (±1.76%), respectively. Among those three groups, 34.63%, 26.21%, and 36.12% met the goal of HbA1c <7.0%, respectively. Mean HbA1c and achievement of A1c <7.0% was related to the duration of T2DM. CONCLUSIONS: Less than one third of the patients had achieved the goal of HbA1c <7.0%. Glycemic control decreased and insulin use increased with the duration of diabetes.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate angiographical characteristics of carotid, vertebral, subclavian, and renal arteries in the type 2 diabetic patients with lower extremities peripheral arterial disease (LEPAD). METHODS: There were 104 type 2 diabetic patients with LEPAD recruited in this study, who received digital subtract arteriography (DSA). Ankle-brachial index (ABI) assessment was also performed in 50 participants. Dependent upon the stenosis degree of vertebral artery, subclavian artery and renal artery measured by DSA, the patients were divided into normal group (stenosis < or = 50%) or pathological group(stenosis > 50% or blocked lesions). The angiographic features of carotid, vertebral, subclavian, and renal arteries were analyzed and the relationship between arterial stenosis and ABI was explored. RESULTS: DSA results of 104 patients showed that the most common lesion in the arteries was plaque. The stenosis degrees of 51%-74% and 75%-99% were most commonly observed in renal artery, with incidence of 22.1% and 5.8%, respectively. Arterial occlusion was most commonly observed in vertebral artery, with incidence of 27.9%. The patients with stenosis or occlusion of arteries had lower ABI (P = 0.000), and the patients with stenosis or occlusion of vertebral and renal arteries also had lower ABI (P = 0.003 and 0.02, respectively), compared with those without stenosis. ABI < 0.9 indicated higher risk of stenosis or occlusion of vertebral and renal arteries (P = 0.008 and 0.047 respectively). Between the patients with subclavian arterial stenosis and those without this artery stenosis, there was no statistical significant difference observed in ABI level. CONCLUSION: Type 2 diabetic patients with LEPAD can affect multiple arteries, showing plaque formation, multi-segmental stenosis and occlusion of arteries. The patients with ABI < 0.9 have higher risk of multiple arterial stenosis or occlusion lesions.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the consistency of the diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome (MS) proposed by World Health Organization 1999 (WHO1999), National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III 2005 (ATP III 2005), Chinese Diabetes Society 2004 (CDS2004), and International Diabetes Federation 2005 (IDF2005), and to identify a more applicable one for people in Sichuan. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey on MS was conducted in Sichuan. A total of 3511 participants were recruited through multistage cluster random sampling. A questionnaire was administered to the participants, along with physical examinations and laboratory tests involving oral glucose tolerance test and lipid profiles. The MS patients were identified by the above-mentioned diagnostic criteria. RESULTS: According to the ATP III (2005), the prevalence and age-adjusted prevalence of MS were 22.4% and 19.8% in Sichuan population respectively, significantly higher than those identified by the other 3 diagnostic criteria. The prevalence of MS increased with age. Men had higher prevalence of MS than women (P < 0.05) according to the CDS (2004) and WHO (1999). But women had higher prevalence of MS than men according to the IDF (2005) and no gender difference in the prevalence of MS existed according to the ATP III (2005). No significant difference was found in the prevalence of MS between the Han ethnicity and the Yi ethnicity regardless which diagnostic criteria were adopted. The 4 MS diagnostic criteria reached a consistency of 81.17%. The highest consistency (95.70%) occurred between the IDF (2005) and the ATP III (2005), with a kappa coefficient of 0.867 (P = 0.000). Significantly higher morbidity of myocardial infarction (MI) and/or cerebral stroke was found in MS patients regardless which criteria applied. The morbidity of MI and cerebral stroke in MS patients identified by the 4 criteria showed no difference (P = 0.556). CONCLUSION: ATP III (2005) has stricter criteria for MS than the others. The prevalence of MS increases with age. There is no significant difference in the prevalence of MS between the Han and Yi ethnicities. In Sichuan, the CDS (2004) is more applicable than the others.

RESUMO

Objective: Vitamin D and thyroid hormones have crucial roles in bone metabolism. This study aims to explore the effects of vitamin D on bone metabolism in mice with thyrotoxicosis and its mechanisms. Methods: 12-week-old mice were randomly divided into 6 groups (6 mice/group), the control (CON) group, vitamin D (VD) group, low-dose LT4 (Low LT4) group, low-dose LT4+VD (Low LT4+VD) group, high-dose LT4 (High LT4) group, high-dose LT4+VD (High LT4+VD) group, LT4 was provided every day and vitamin D3 every other day for 12 weeks. Thyroid function, 25-hydroxy vitamin D, type I collagen carboxy-terminal peptide (CTX), and type I procollagen amino-terminal peptide were determined. In addition, microcomputed tomography, bone histology and histomorphometry, a three-point bending test, and the mRNA expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and ß-catenin in bone were conducted. Results: The BMD of lumbar vertebrae and femur decreased and the bone microstructure was destroyed significantly in thyrotoxicosis mice. Addition of vitamin D improved the BMD and bone microstructure only in the low LT4+VD group. Mice with thyrotoxicosis had a significantly higher level of CTX (P<0.05), which was decreased by treatment with vitamin D (P<0.05). The eroded surface per bone surface (Er. S/BS) of the cancellous bone and elongated surface/endocortical perimeter (Er. S/E Pm) of the cortical bone significantly increased in the Low LT4 and High LT4 groups (P<0.05). Treatment with vitamin D significantly decreased the Er. S/BS and Er. S/E Pm. But, treatment with vitamin D did not significantly improve the toughness and rigidity of bones. The ratio of OPG to RANKL and mRNA expression of ß-catenin in the Low LT4+VD group were higher than that in the Low LT4 group (P<0.05). Conclusion: In mice with thyrotoxicosis, treatment with vitamin D can inhibit bone resorption and improve the BMD and trabecular bone architecture by increasing the ratio of OPG to RANKL and upregulating the expression of Wnt/ß-catenin.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Overweight and obesity are considered a serious health problem. There are little data on the prevalence of overweight and obesity among the Yi ethnic group in China. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiologic features of overweight/obesity among Chinese Yi nationality. METHODS: A cross-sectional study, including 1255 subjects aged 20-75 years, was carried out in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan province from 2007 to 2008. Overweight/overall obesity was defined by World Health Organization (WHO) or the Working Group on Obesity in China. RESULTS: Overall, the prevalence of overweight and obesity was 19.0% and 2.9%, respectively, based on the WHO definition, while it was 21.0% and 7.4%, respectively, according to the Working Group on Obesity in China, which is similar to data reported in the 2002 Chinese National Nutrition and Health Survey. Urban residents had a significantly higher prevalence of obesity (WHO criteria: 4.3% vs 1.7% p = 0.008; China criteria: 11.4% vs 3.7%, p < 0.001) and overweight (WHO criteria: 28.9% vs 8.9% p < 0.001; China criteria: 31.2% vs 10.4%, p < 0.001) than that in rural residents. Older age, a family history of obesity, higher income, drinking and urban residence were significantly associated with an increased risk of overweight/obesity. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of overweight/obesity in the Yi nationality is similar to that in Chinese adults 5 years ago. However, urban residents have a much higher prevalence of overweight/obesity than their rural counterparts. Lifestyle and diet patterns associated with socioeconomic status may explain the difference between urban and rural residents. The prevention of overweight/obesity among urban inhabitants deserves more attention in national health education programs.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: A multicenter, randomized, controlled and open-labeled clinical trial was performed to compare the efficacy and safety of recombinant human insulin injection (Yousilin R) and Novolin R in diabetic patients. METHODS: A total of 211 cases were randomized into two groups (1:1) treated with Yousilin R versus Novolin R for 12 weeks respectively. RESULTS: Compared with baseline, the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at the end of 12 weeks treatment decreased from 10.77% to 7.72%(P < 0.05) in Yousilin R group and from 10.33% to 7.62% (P < 0.05) in Novolin R group, 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (2hPG) decreased from 15.49 mmol/L to 9.72 mmol/L (P < 0.05) in Yousilin R group and from 15.33 mmol/L to 10.07 mmol/L (P < 0.05) in Novolin R group, and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) decreased from 10.90 mmol/L to 7.31 mmol/L (P < 0.05) in Yousilin R group and from 10.22 mmol/L to 7.21 mmol/L (P < 0.05) in Novolin R group. The changes of HbA1c, 2hPG and FPG from baseline to endpoint in Yousilin R group was similar to those in Novolin R group (P > 0.05). Furthermore, hypoglycemic events (26.42% vs 30.48%), other adverse events (13.21% vs 16.19%), and serious adverse events (1.89% vs 1.90%) were comparable between Yousilin R and Novolin R groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Yousilin R has similar efficacy, safety and compliance profiles to Novolin R group in the treatment of diabetic patients.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes mellitus in the first-degree relatives (FDR) of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in Chengdu. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was undertaken in Chengdu. A total of 2306 adults were recruited, including 535 FDR of T2DM patients and 1771 people without a family history of diabetes. All participants received glucose tolerance tests and measurements of waist, blood pressure and blood lipids. RESULTS: (1) The FDR of T2DM patients had greater standardized prevalence of diabetes than those without a family history of diabetes (26.6% vs. 9.2%). The standardized prevalence of prediabetes in these two groups was 15.0% and 14.1%, respretively. (2) Greater standardized prevalence of diabetes were found in both female (25.5%) and male (28.5%) FDR of T2DM patients compared with their counterparts without a family history of diabetes (women 8.7%, men 11.2%). The standardized prevalence of prediabetes between those with and without a family history of diabetes was 15.9% and 13.4% in women, 13.7% and 15.3% in men, respretively. (3) The younger than 40 years old FDR of T2DM patients had greater prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes than their counterpart without a family history of diabetes, while the FDR of T2DM with an age of > or =40 years old had greater prevalence of diabetes than their counterparts only (P > 0.05). The FDR of T2DM patients with <25 kg/m2 body mass index (BMI) had greater prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes than their counterparts without a family history of diabetes (25.1% vs. 7.4%, 13.2% vs. 9.3%, P < 0.05). The FDR of T2DM patients with > or = 25 kg/m2 BMI had greater prevalence of diabetes (33.0% vs. 13.7%, P < 0.05) but less prevalence of prediabetes (19.2% vs. 26.8%, P < 0.05) than their counterparts without a family history of diabetes. (4) The logistic regression showed that triglyceride (TG) was a risk factor for diabetes in those FDR of T2DM patients (OR = 1.363) and those without a family history of diabetes (OR = 1.27), and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was a protective factor for diabetes in those without a family history of diabetes (OR = 0.546). CONCLUSION: The FDR of T2DM patients have high risk of diabetes and those younger than 40 years or with <25 kg/m2 BMI also have high risk of prediabetes.
