RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: According to research, the fatty liver index (FLI) is associated with diabetes. However, few studies have been conducted to investigate the relationship between FLI and diabetes risk from various perspectives. This study comprehensively investigated the relationship between FLI and incident diabetes in a large Japanese population. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included 14,280 participants from Murakami Memorial Hospital in Japan from 2004 to 2015. The independent and dependent variables are FLI and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), respectively. To examine the link between FLI and incident T2DM, Cox proportional-hazards regression was employed. In addition, we performed a number of sensitivity studies to guarantee the validity of the results. Moreover, we conducted subgroup analyses. RESULTS: After adjusting covariates, the results showed that FLI was positively associated with the risk of T2DM (HR = 1.019, 95%CI: 1.012, 1.025). Additionally, the sensitivity analysis showed how reliable the outcomes were. And a stronger association between FLI and incident T2DM was observed in the regular exercisers (HR = 1.036, 95%CI: 1.019-1.053, P < 0.0001) and the population without ethanol consumption (HR = 1.028, 95%CI: 1.017-1.039, P < 0.0001). Besides, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that FLI was better than waist circumference, triglycerides, body mass index, and gamma-glutamyl transferase in predicting incident T2DM. CONCLUSION: FLI is positively associated with incident T2DM.

PURPOSE: Recent genome-wide association studies have identified a number of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) susceptibility loci in White populations. The aim of our study was to evaluate whether these susceptibility loci also existed in a Chinese Han IBD population. METHODS: Peripheral blood DNA samples from groups of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) (n = 48), ulcerative colitis (UC) (n = 49), and healthy controls (n = 50) were genotyped for eight genes. Then, an extended analysis of the relationship between genotype and phenotype was performed. RESULTS: NOD2-P268S (P = 0.025) was found to contribute susceptibility to CD in the Chinese population. IL23R-rs11805303 was detected to confer a strong protective effect against UC (P = 0.010), whereas PTPN2-rs2542151 was significantly associated with an increased risk of UC (P = 0.001). Further phenotype-genotype analysis revealed that P268S was associated with early age of onset (P = 0.028), ileal disease (P = 0.003), and enteric cavity narrowing (P = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS: The study indicates that IL23R-rs11805303 and PTPN2-rs2542151 might contribute to the development of UC and NOD2-P268S might be involved in the etiology of CD in the Chinese Han population.

OBJECTIVE: To understand the relationship between the susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and ATG16L1 gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) site, rs2241880. METHODS: Peripheral blood samples were collected from 80 IBD patients (including 40 with Crohn's disease and 40 with ulcerative colitis) and 50 healthy controls, and the genomic DNA was extracted from the white blood cells. Specific primers were designed according to the target gene sequence for PCR amplification of the target gene fragment, and the PCR products were purified followed by sequence analysis of the target region of ATG16L1 gene. The results of the sequence analysis were compared with the BenBank data to analyze the relationship between the allele gene polymorphisms and the susceptibility to Crohn's disease. RESULTS: No significant differences were noted in the ATG16L1 gene SNP site rs2241880 polymorphisms among the patients with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and the control subjects (Chi(2)=4.94, P=0.293). CONCLUSION: ATG16L1 gene polymorphisms in the SNP site rs2241880 are not found to correlate to the susceptibility to Crohn's disease as reported in literature. The SNP site associated with Crohn's disease susceptibility identified in foreign populations does not seem to be identical with that in Chinese population.
