Abstract:
Objective To analyse the relationship between insulin resistance and the pancreatic beta cell dysfunction in critically ill children with hyperglycemia,to investigate the relationship between the pancreas injury and pancreatic beta cells dysfunction.Methods Seven hundred and thirty-six critically ill children admitted in PICU of Hunan Children's Hospital from Nov 2012 to Mar 2013 were reviewed and analyzed.According to the maximum intravenous blood glucose within 24 h after admission,they were divided into severely elevated group (blood glucose ≥11.1 mmol/L,n =67),slightly elevated group(blood glucose 6.1 ～ 11.1 mmol/L,n =361) and control group (blood glucose ≤ 6.1 mmo/L,n =308).Serum insulin,C peptide,serum amylase,lipase,urinary amylase,HOMA-β,HOMA-IR were compared among 3 groups.According to the severity of sepsis,they were divided into non-sepsis group (n =414),sepsis group (n =237),severe sepsis group (n =64),septic shock group (n =21).Blood glucose,serum insulin,C peptide,HOMA-βand HOMA-IR were compared among 4 groups.Results (l)The levels of insulin,C peptide,blood amylase,lipase and urine amylase were gradually increased with elevated blood sugar(rs =0.235,P ＜ 0.05;C =0.142,P ＜ 0.05 ; rs =0.142,P ＜ 0.05 ; rs =0.119,P ＜ 0.05 ; r.s =0.093,P ＜ 0.05).The differences among 3 groups were significant (P ＜ 0.05).The levels of serum amylase (IU/L) [102.81 (10.48-191.69)],lipase(U/L) [69.75(10.67-121.85)] were higher than upper limit of normal in severely elevated group.HOMA-β fell to 18.75％ in severely elevated group.The level of HOMA-β was decreased with the increase of blood sugar level (rs =-0.108,P ＜ 0.05).The level of HOMA-IR was increased with the elevated blood sugar level(rs =0.455,P ＜ 0.05).(2) The levels of blood glucose,insulin,C peptide and HOMA-β were significantly different among 4 groups of non-sepsis,sepsis,severe sepsis and septic shock group (P ＜ 0.05),HOMA-IR showed no significant difference among 4 groups (P ＞ 0.05).The levels of blood sugar increased to 9.21 (6.21-19.60) mmol/L,HOMA-β declined to 10.52％ in septic shock group,and blood glucose,insulin,C peptide,HOMA-β were significantly different compared with the other 3 groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Hyperglycemia is associated with insulin resistance and pancreatic β cells dysfunction in critically ill children,the cause of beta cell dysfunction is secondary to pancremic injury.Pancreatic beta cells dysfunction inducing hyperglycemia is more significant than insulin resistance in sepsis children.
