A total of 9 806 type 2 diabetics managed by the communities were selected by the stratified cluster random sampling.The characteristics, behavior and life style, history of diseases and treatments, and familial history were collected by a standard questionnaire.Their heights and weights were measured.Furthermore, their HbA1C was tested.Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between familial history of diabetes and glycemic control.The results showed that among the diabetics, patients with familial history accounted for 18.99%, and glycemic control rate was 42.72%.Compared with the diabetics without familial history, glycemic control rate in patients with parental history of diabetes and with many relatives decreased by 0.27 fold (OR=1.27, 95%CI 1.01-1.59) and 1.01 fold (OR=2.01, 95%CI 1.25-3.23), suggesting that family history of diabetes could reduce the glycemic control rate.

OBJECTIVE:To study the improvement effect of lanthanum hydroxide on chronic renal failure (CRF) hyperphos-phatemia in rats. METHODS:CRF hyperphosphatemia rat model were induced and then randomly divided into model group,lan-thanum carbonate group [0.3 g/(kg·d)],calcium carbonate group [4.2 g/(kg·d)] and lanthanum hydroxide high-dose,medium-dose and low-dose groups [1.5,1,0.5 g/(kg·d)] with 10 rats in each group. They were given adenine 0.2 g/(kg·d)intragastrically in the morning,and then given relevant medicine intragastrically in the afternoon;a week later,they stopped taking adenine but con-tinued to take relevant medicine for 22 d. 10 normal rats were selected as normal control group. General examination was conduct-ed,and renal coefficient,serum contents of calcium,phosphorus,PTH,creatinine(Scr)and usea nitrogen(BUN)were detected after last medication as well as renal pathological change. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,model group showed CRF sign,renal coefficient,the contents of phosphorus,PTH,Scr and BUN were increased,while the content of calcium was de-creased(P<0.01);renal section showed obvious pathological characteristics. Compared with model group,CRF sign of rats were improved in lanthanum carbonate group,calcium carbonate group and lanthanum hydroxide groups. The renal coefficient (except for lanthanum hydroxide high-dose group),serum contents of phosphorus(except for calcium carbonate group),PTH(except for lanthanum hydroxide low-dose group and calcium carbonate group),Scr(except for lanthanum hydroxide low-dose group and calci-um carbonate group)and BUN were all decreased,while serum content of calcium and calcium-phosphorucs product(only in calci-um carbonate group)was increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01). There was no statistical significance in other difference. The renal sec-tion pathological characteristics were improved. CONCLUSIONS:Lanthanum hydroxide can improve renal function and reduce the level of serum phosphorus in CRF hyperphosphatemia model rats.

Objective To understand the status of renal function abnormalities and explore its influencing factors in a community-based population with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods Totally 9 413 patients with T2DM who have registered and received management of community public health service in 2014 were recruited in our study.All participants undertook questionnaire survey,physical examination and laboratory test.A simplified MDRD formula was used for estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR),and Logistic Regression method was used to analyze the risk factors.Results The average eGFR was 91 ml/min · 1.73 m2 and the attack rate of people with eGFR ＜60 ml/min 1.73 m2 was 10.56％.The difference of renal function in participants with different age and gender was significant(x2 =6.306,P =0.012;x2 =269.293,P ＜ 0.001).Renal function in male patients and older patients was more worse.Multivariate analysis showed that long duration of diabetes,high levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL),total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG),uncontrolled blood glucose were independent risk factors for renal dysfunction.Conclusions Patients with T2DM are susceptible to renal function abnormalities.Comprehensively control of blood glucose,blood lipid and blood pressure should be performed to decrease the risk of the disease.

Objective:To explore whether esketamine (ESK) can inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of breast cancer cells, and explore the mechanism.Methods:CCK-8 assay was used to detect the inhibitory effect of ESK on the proliferation of breast cancer cells. Annexin V/PI staining was used to detect the morphological changes of cells; Apoptosis and reactive oxygen species were detected by flow cytometry. Western blot was used to detect apoptosis and pathway expression.Results:CCK-8 experiment results proved that ESK could inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cells in a time-dependent manner. The survival rate of MDA-MB-468 cells treated with ESK at 20 μM was (35.47±2.61) %, which was statistically different from that treated with vinorelbine at the same concentration ( P<0.05). The IC50 value of ESK on MDA-MB-468 cells was (14.54±2.12) μM. After treatment with ESK, the mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly reduced. In the protein level, the expression of Cytochrome C, Bax and Caspase-3 was up-regulated, and the expression of Bcl-2 was down regulated, which induced the mitochondrial dependent apoptosis of MDA-MB-468 cells. ESK could up regulate the level of reactive oxygen species in MDA-MB-468 cells and regulate the expression of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Conclusions:ESK can inhibit the proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells and induce them to play a mitochondrial dependent apoptosis. Its mechanism is achieved by up regulating the level of ROS in breast cancer cells, thereby regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, which provides a theoretical basis for the development and utilization of Aln.

Objective:To evaluate the effect and safety of monoclonal antibodies to calcitonin gene-related peptide and its receptor (CGRP-mAbs) on migraine.Methods:Database of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, CNKI, Wangfang digital journals were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of CGRP-mAbs in treatment of migraine. Quality of enrolled literature was assessed by the software of Review Manager 5.3 and software of StataMP14 was employed to conduct meta analysis.Results:A total of 13 RCTs were included, including 6 218 adult migraine patients (experimental group: 2 679 patients, placebo group: 3 539 patients). Meta analysis suggested that CGRP-mAbs for preventive treatment of migraine significantly reduced the monthly migraine days from baseline (standardized mean difference (SMD)=-0.35, 95% CI-0.4--0.3) and monthly acute migraine-specific medication consumption from baseline (SMD=-0.38, 95% CI-0.43--0.32), as compared with placebo group. CGRP-mAbs for preventive treatment of migraine significantly increased the ≥50% reduction from baseline in migraine days per month ( RR=1.65, 95% CI 1.54-1.76). The adverse events were similar between the CGRP-mAbs group and placebo group ( RR=1.06, 95% CI 1.01-1.10). Conclusion:CGRP-mAbs are effective and safe for preventive treatment of migraine.

AIM: To evaluate the pathogenic variants of the SCO2(OMIM 604272)gene in patients with high myopia from Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of China.METHODS: A total of 384 patients with high myopia whose spherical refractive error was ≤ -6.00 D and whose axial length was ≥26.00 mm in at least one eye were recruited. DNA was extracted by the phenol-chloroform method from 5 mL of peripheral venous blood. Sanger sequencing was performed to identify pathogenic variants in exon 2 of SCO2. The detected variants were evaluated via in silico prediction software. A total of 288 people from the same district were included as the normal control cohort.RESULTS: Seven variants were detected, namely, four synonymous variants(c.201C>T/p.=, c.576C>T/p.=, c.633A>C/p.=, c.780T>C/p.=.), two missense variants(c.187A>G/p.Ile63Val, c.59G>C/p.Arg20Pro)and one nonsense variant(c.544C>T/p.Gln182*). The two missense variants were not damaging, as predicted by PolyPhen2, SIFT and Provean. The novel nonsense variant(c.544C>T/p.Gln182*)cannot be found in the 1000 Genomes Project and was not identified in 288 normal controls. Variant Taster suggested that the nonsense variant site was conserved.CONCLUSION: The newly identified nonsense mutation may be responsible for high myopia of the patients in our cohort. SCO2 is associated with high myopia, while the incidence of SCO2 variants in high myopia in this cohort was as low as 1/384; the nonsense mutation may be a scarce variant of high myopia in the Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of China.
