3.The updates in molecular genetic mechanisms of neonatal diabetes mellitus
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2015;(20):1521-1524
Neonatal diabetes mellitus(NDM)occurs within the first 6 months of life. Depending on clinical outcomes,it is classified into transient neonatal diabetes mellitus(TNDM)and permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM). TNDM,which accounts for 50% of NDM goes into remission after treatment for an average period of 12 weeks,but relapse in puberty and early adulthood. PNDM,on the other hand,is a lifelong disease without remission. The clinical features of TNDM and PNDM overlap,and the typing is based on clinical remission on follow - up. More than 20 pathogenic genes have been identified in PNDM,of which the most common are KCNJII and ABCC8 encoding the Kir6. 2 and SUR1 subunits of KATP channel accounting for 50% . TNDM is caused by defects associated with overexpres-sion of paternally expressed genes in the imprinted region of chromosome 6q24 in 70% cases. About 26% of the defects contain mutations in KCNJII,ABCC8,INS or HNFIB. In vitro and clinical studies suggest that treatment with oral sul-fonylurea can close KATP channel and improve glycemic control and neuropsychological development. However,10% of patients with KCNJII and 15% ABCC8 mutations fail to achieve glycemic control when insulin therapy is switched to o-ral sulfonylureas. Therefore,molecular diagnosis is vital not only in accurate typing but also for better prognostication.

The insulin sensitivity in hypertensive patients with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and the insulin resistance (IR) under the disorder of glucose metabolism and hypertension were studied. By glucose tolerance test and insulin release test, insulin sensitivity index (ISI) and the ratio of area under glucose tolerance curve (AUCG) to area under insulin release curve (AUCI) were calculated and analyzed. The results showed that ISI was decreased to varying degrees in the patients with hypertension, the mildest in the group of NGT with hypertension, followed by the group of IGT without hypertension, the group of IGT with hypertension and DM (P = 0). There was very significant difference in the ratio of AUCG/AUCI between the hypertensive patients with NGT and controls (P = 0). It was concluded that a significant IR existed during the development of IGT both in hypertension and nonhypertension. The increase of total insulin secretion (AUCI) was associated with nonhypertension simultaneously. IR of the hypertensive patients even existed in NGT and was worsened with the deterioration of glucose metabolism disorder, but the AUCI in the HT group changed slightly. A relative deficiency of insulin secretion or dysfunction of beta-cell of islet existed in IGT and DM of the hypertensive patients.

5.MiRNA and Alzheimer′s disease
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2021;44(5):452-456
Alzheimer′s disease (AD) is a degenerative neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system. The disease is concealed. Patients often experienced several years or even more than ten years of course evolution from the beginning of pathological changes to clinical symptoms. Once entering the stage of dementia, there is no ideal drug to reverse the disease. In order to improve the efficiency of early diagnosis, the research on early biomarkers of the disease has become a hot topic in recent years. In addition to the Aβ and tau, microRNAs have been discovered as potential biomarkers of AD.

Objective To investigate the effect of different speed of perioperative fluid infusion on rate of platelet aggregation during percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods 60 patients accepted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were divided into 2 groups. The control group (n=30) accepted fluid infusion in speed of 1.5~2 ml/kg·h, while the trial group (n=30) with the speed of 6~9 ml//kg·h after coronary arteriongraphy. Their blood pressure, heart beat, rate of platelet aggregation and osmotic pressure of plasma were recorded. Results It was not significantly different in rate of platelet aggregation before and 4 h after operation in the control group (P>0.05), and it was significantly lower 4 h and 1 d after operation in the trial group (P<0.05). Conclusion Fast fluid infusion perioperatively can lower the rate of platelet aggregation, which may improve the success of PCI and reduce the acute thrombosis
