Objective To investigate the relationship and mechanism of the serum vitamin D levels with insulin sensitivity and adipokines APN,RBP4,visfatin and TNF-α in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM). Methods A total of 101 patients with gestational diabetes( GDM group) and 50 pregnant women with normal blood sugar( control group) were recruited to detect the serum levels of correlative biochemical indexes,APN,RBP4,visfatin,TNF-α and 25OHD3 using an HPLC method. Twenty-four patients in the GDM group diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency(<25 nmol·L-1 ) were randomized to receive either 1,25(OH) 2D3(0. 25 μg·d-1) orally or no treatment. Serum levels of correlative biochemical indexes were detected after 1 month. Results GDM patients had 25OHD3 levels significantly lower than the control group(P<0. 05),APN levels lower than the control group,and RBP4,visfatin,TNF-α levels significantly higher than the control group(all P<0. 05). After 1 month of 1,25(OH) 2D3 treatment,HOMA-IR increased,while HOMA-β decreased. APN levels was positively correlated(r= 0. 526) with 25OHD3;RBP4,visfatin,TNF-α decreased and were negatively correlated with 25OHD3( r values were -0. 272,-0. 153,-0. 072). Conclusion Vitamin D can reduce the adipokines RBP4,visfatin,TNF-α,increase APN,and thus play a protective role for gestational diabetes.

Objective:To investigate whether the nutrition support team (NST) benefits esophageal carcinoma (EC) patients who are concurrently undergoing chemoradiotherapy. Methods: Between June 2012 and December 2013, 40 EC patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy were divided into the NST group and routine treatment (RT) group, with 20 patients in each group. At the end of chemoradiotherapy, the nutritional status, incidence of complications, and completion rates of radiotherapy were evaluated. The length of hospital stay (LOS) and cost were also compared between the two groups. Results:The nutrition and blood parameter values of the NST group were better (P<0.05) than those of the RT group. The incidence of complications was lower in the NST group (P<0.05) than that in the RT group. In addition, all patients in the NST group achieved the treatment plan, whereas five of the patients in the RT group interrupted or delayed the plan (P<0.05). The average LOS decreased by 3.8 d (P<0.05), and the hospitalization costs were reduced to 6300 RMB person-times (P>0.05) for the patients of the NST group. Conclusion: NST could maintain the nutritional status and improve the treatment compliance and tolerance of EC patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy, thereby shortening the LOS time and reducing the costs.

Objective To investigate the influence of abdominal adipose tissue on insulin resistance and other metabolic indicators in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)complicating obesity.Methods Fifty-one patients with newly diagnosed T2DM complicating obesity (T2DM group) and 50 cases of simple obesity(control group) in Jishuitan Hospital were enrolled.The two groups were performed QCT for measuring the total abdominal adipose tissue volume (TAV),subcutaneous adipose tissue volume (SAV),visceral adipose tissue volume (VAV),and then the VAV/SAV ratio was calculated.Meanwhile the waist circumference,body mass index(BMI),blood uric acid (UA),total cholesterol (C H O),triglycerides (TG),high-density lipo protein cholesterol (HDL),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL),homocysteine(HCY),dosage of basal insulin(DBIns),dosage of prandial insulin (DPIns),fasting plasma glucose(FBG),fasting blood insulin (FIns) and HbA1c levels were also measured.The relationship between TAV,SAV and VAV with HOMA-RI and other indicators was investigated.The influence of abdominal adipose tissue on insulin resistance and other metabolic indicators was determined.Results The UA,TG,LDL,FPG and HbA1c levels in the T2DM group were increased compared with the control group(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the SAV level in the T2DM group was decreased(P＜0.05),the VAV and VAV/SAV levels were increased(P＜0.05).The multivariate regression analysis showed that VAV was the natural logarithm affecting In (HOMA-RI),UA,CHO,TG,LDL,HCY,DBIns (β=0.399,0.398,0.389,0.447,0.440,0.372,0.307;P＜ 0.05).TAV was the main factor affecting the waist circumference and BMI (β=0.868,0.639;P＜0.05).Conclusion The visceral adipose tissue volume has larger influences on insulin resistance,blood lipids,UA,HCY and DBIns.
