Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation between homocysteine(Hcy) and atheroscIerosis (AS) in type 2 diabetic patients.Methods A total of 98 type 2 diabetic patients in Donghua Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yet-Sen University were enrolled in this study and served as diabetic group.Meanwhile diabetic patients were divided into aged group(aged ＞65 years old) and young and middle aged group(＜65 years old).Fortynine healthy volunteers were used as control group.Intima-media thickness(IMT) and atherosclerotic plaqlles of the extracranial common carotid artery were detected by high-resolution B-mode ultrasoograph.Fasting plasma glucose (FPG),postprandial 2 h glucose (2 hPG),glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1 c),total cholesterol (TC),total triglyceride (TG),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),creactive protein(CRP) and Hcy were measured.Correlation analysis of Hcy and IMT with other parameters was performed.Results Hcy level in patients with type 2 diabetes were (34.15 ± 10.25) μmol/L,significantly higher than those in healthy control group((8.46 ± 3.62) μmol/L,P =0.014).Hcy level in age group((40.63 ± 11.78) μmol/L) was significantly higher than that of young and middle aged group((26.54 ±9.38) μmol/L,P =0.028).IMT value and plaque detection rate in elderly patients were (1.28 ±0.26) mm and 66.1％ (20/41),significantly higher than that in the young and middle aged group((1.02 ±0.20) mm and 38.9％,P =0.041,0.027).Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that age (OR =1.46,95％ CI:1.18-6.36,P =0.029),duration of diabetes (OR =2.62,95％ CI:1.78-7.43,P ＜ 0.001),LDL-C (OR =1.54,95％CI 1.19-6.27,P =0.028),CRP(OR =1.38,95％ CI 1.11-4.84,P =0.032),Hcy(OR =2.45,95％ CI 1.34-6.61,P =0.018)) were independent risk factors for carotid AS.Conclusion The Hcy level significantly increase in type 2 diabetic patients.Hcy,age,duration of diabetes,LDL-C,CRP are independently risk factors of neck AS.
