RESUMO
Objective@#To discuss the correlation between growth status and eating behaviors in children with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), providing reference data for management and dietary behavior guidance among ADHD children.@*Methods@#A total of 703 children aged 4-13 years old were collected from the ADHD patients from Children s Health Department of Children s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from June to September, 2019. The demographic characteristics and information regarding children’s eating behaviors were collected by self-designed questionnaire and Chinese version of the parent-completed Children’s Eating Behavior Questionnaire(CEBQ). The correlation physical growth with dietary behaviors among the ADHD children were analyzed.@*Results@#Food avoidant behaviors, including satiety responsiveness, slowness in eating and emotional undereating in ADHD children with thinness scored significantly higher than that of children with short stature, overweight and obesity(F=17.57, 29.32, 4.07, P<0.01), while food approach behaviors, including food responsiveness, enjoyment of food, desire to drink and emotional overeating scored higher in obese children, compared to other three groups(F=24.54, 47.44, 2.96,5.85, P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that, after adjusting for the confounders, satiety responsiveness, slowness in eating were still negatively associated with BMI-Z score of the ADHD children(B=-0.05, -0.07, P<0.01). Food responsiveness, enjoyment of food and emotional overeating had a positive association with the BMI-Z score(B=0.04, 0.09, 0.05, P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#Emotional eating and high food responsiveness in ADHD children are associated with the overweight and obesity, while long eating time and high satiety responsiveness is associated with underweight among ADHD children. For clinical doctors and parents, problematic eating behaviors among ADHD children should be concerned regarding its negative effects on growth and development, besides core symptoms of ADHD.
RESUMO
Simultaneous concurrence of subacute thyroiditis and Graves' disease is rare.We present one case of subacute thyroiditis with Graves' disease and combine with other reports to explore the clinical characteristics and therapeutic considerations.If subacute thyroiditis is considered coexisting simultaneously with Graves' disease,radioactive iodine uptake,thyroid autoantibody,fine-needle aspiration of thyroid gland,thyroid nuclide imaging examination,etc,should be done to make correct diagnosis and to adjust the therapeutic plan.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the effect and safety of the human glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue,liraglutide,versus insulin glargine in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with metformin alone.Method Ninty patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(aged 18-79 years,HbA1C 7.5％-10.0％,body mass index＜40 kg/m2) who had inadequate glycaemic control on metformin were allocated for the research with an open,randomized,parallel controlled clinical research method.The patients kept the original dose of metformin unchanged and were randomly assigned to the liraglutide group or the insulin glargine group according to a proportion of 1 ∶ 1.Liraglutide group started with a dose of 0.6 mg subcutaneous injection qd,changed to 1.2 mg subcutaneous injection qd after one week and kept unchanged until the end of the research.Insulin glargine group started with a dose of 0.1-0.2 U/kg according to the fingertips peripheral blood glucose level before breakfast on the continuous 3 d before every follow-up.At the baseline,after 4 weeks,12 weeks,20 weeks,and 26 weeks of treatment,HbA1C,blood glucose,lipids weight,blood pressure were arranged to measured.86 patients finally completed the study.Results Mean HbA1C and the success rate of HbA1C ＜7％ were similar between liraglutide group and insulin glargine group [(7.06 ± 0.87) ％ vs (7.25 ± 1.20) ％,47.73 ％ vs 45.23 ％,P＞0.05],while the percentage of subjects reaching the composite endpoint of HbA1C＜7％ with no hypoglycemia and no weight gain was significantly higher in liraglutide group than insulin group(P＜0.05) ; Fasting plasma glucose decreased more markedly in insulin glargine group,2 h postprandial plasma glucose was decreased more markedly in liraglutide group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Liraglutide significantly reduced mean body weight by (3.21 ± 1.18) kg,waist circumference by (3.82 ± 1.21) cm,and body mass index by (1.95 ± 0.61) kg/m2 (P＜0.01 or P＜0.05),while in the insulin glargine group there sere rise of respective figure of(2.86 ± 0.43) kg,(1.52 ± 0.56) cm,and (0.61 ± 0.25) kg/m2 (P＜0.05),systolic blood pressure and serum triglyceride declined.There was no serious adverse affect in both groups,the incidence of mild hypoglycemia was significantly less in liraglutide group and has a statistically significant difference (4.55％ vs 21.43％,P＜0.05).Conclusions Liraglutide showed a good effect on reducing weight,systolic blood pressure,blood lipid and in addition to blood glucose control which is comparable to insulin glargine.What is more,liraglutide had good safety and tolerability,which can be regarded as a good choice for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with metformin alone.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the relationship between recent chlamydia pneumoniae (Cp)infection and active ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods Seventy nine AS outpatients and 73 normal controls (NC) were enrolled into this study. Serum anti-Cp antibodies (CpIg) were tested using the enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Clinical and experimental data were collected. Patients with positive CpIgM or CpIgA were considered as having a recent Cp infection. Wilcoxon test, Student's t test, χ2 test and multivariate logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. Results Both AS patients and normal controls had a high prevalence for sero-positive CpIgG, which was 89％(70/79) vs 92％(67/73) respectively,while AS patients had a higher frequency of CpIgA and CpIgM when compared with NC [52％(41/79) vs 32％(23/73), χ2=6.61, P=0.010 for CpIgA; 80％(63/79) vs 21％(15/73), χ2=44.031, P＜0.01 for CpIgM]. The presence of CpIgM or CpIgA favored AS, the OR was 17.1 (95％CI 7.4～39.5), or 3.1 (95％CI 1.3～7.2),respectively. In addition, CpIgM was associated with disease activity parameters including ESR (χ2=2.56, P=0.021), CRP (χ2=7.28, P=0.007) and BASDAI (χ2=6.79, P=0.009). Furthermore, consecutive positive CpIgM favored the persistent active or relapsed disease, while negative CpIgM favored a reduced disease activity.There was no correlation between CpIgM/CpIgA and peripheral joint disease and enthesitis. Conclusion Recent Cp infection is highly associated with AS and CpIgM antibody relates with active AS, which indicates that Cp infections may be a critical triggering factor for active AS.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effect of gastric bypass on plasma glucose and glucagonlike peptide-1 (GLP-1) during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in non-obese type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients suffering from gastric ulcer necessitating a gastrectomy.Methods Thirty-two T2DM patients undergoing gastric bypass (GBP) for gastric ulcer were enrolled in this study.All patients underwent a 3-h OGTT with 75 g glucose (in a total volume of 300 ml) preoperatively and 1 week,1 month,3 months and 6 months after operation.Plasma glucose (PG) and GLP-1 concentrations were measured before (baseline) and then 30,60,120,and 180 minutes after OGTT.Areas under curves (AUC) were calculated by trapezoidal integration.The turnover of the diabetes conditions six months after the surgery were also measured.Results FPG level was (9.5±1.0) mmol/L before surgery,and significantly decreased to (7.4±1.0) mmol/L,one week,(6.5±1.2) mmol/L,one month,(8.0±1.6) mmol/L three months and (5.8±1.0) mmol/L,six months respectively after GBP(P ＜0.01).Peak level and AUC of PG during OGTT significantly decreased at aforementioned four time points after sugery (P ＜ 0.01).Oral glucosestimulated peak levels of GLP-1 was (20±3) pmol/L before GBP,and markedly increased to (83±15)pmol/L,(86±20) pmol/L,(87±22) pmol/L and (92±20) pmol/L respectively after GBP(P＜0.01).Stimulated AUC levels of GLP-1 significantly increased from (2457±395) pmol· min/L to (6499±1227)pmol·min/L,to (7275±1475) pmol·min/L,to (7307±1575) pmol·min/L and to (7974±1594)pmol· min/L during the study respectively(P ＜0.01).BMI levels were similar before and after GBP(P＞0.05).Two patients experienced complications(infection of incision and intractable hiccup).T2DM control rate was 78% when assessed at a time point of six months later.Conclusion Gastric bypass is effective in terms of glucose control and improving gucose tolerance in non-obese T2DM,and the hypoglycemic effect may be contributed to more GLP-1 secretion after GBP,but not to weight loss.
RESUMO
The effects of repaglinide combined with glargine (n=31)on glucose metabolism and β-cell function were observed in the patients with type 2 diabetes after secondary sulfonylureas failure and the results were compared with glimepiride combined with glargine (n=32). The preprandial capillary blood glucose, postprandial capillary blood glucose and HbA1C in both groups after 6-month treatment were significantly reduced as compared with those at baseline (all P＜0.01). The treatment with repaglinide(2 mg tid) plus glargine was more efficient than glimepiride(4 mg qd) plus glargine in improving β-cell function, ameliorating HbA1C and postprandial blood glucose excursions in patients with type 2 diabetes.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the curative effect on non-obese type 2 diabetes and the effect on change of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) of gastric bypass operation. Methods Thirty-two cases of gastric ulcer with non-obese type 2 diabetes were suffered gastric bypass operation. Plasma glucose concentrations, insulin and GLP-1 were measured respectively in fasting and postprandial conditions before operation and in week 1, 2, 3 and month 1, 3, 6 after gastric bypass operation, and the body mass index (BMI), homeostasis model assessment ? cell function index (HBCI) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c, the index was detected only before operation and in month 3, 6 after operation) were also measured. The turnover of the diabetes condition in the 6th month after surgery was observed. Results Compared with the levels before operation, the fasting and postprandial plasma glucose levels were descending (P0.05). The diabetes control rate was 78.1%(25/32) overall six months after operation. Level of GLP-1 was negatively correlated with level of plasma glucose (P
