Objective To investigate the correlation between IL‐6 ,hs‐CRP and blood lipids ,blood glucose in type 2 diabetes mel‐litus(T2DM) patients complicated with coronary heart disease .Methods 64 outpatients first diagnosed T2DM complicated with coronary heart disease were selected ,56 T2DM patients and 58 health examination were as compare from 2014 January to November in my courtyard .Interleukin‐6(IL‐6) ,high sensitivity C reactive protein(hs‐CRP) and total cholesterol(TC) ,low density lipopro‐tein‐C(LDL‐C) ,blood glucose and HbA1c were detected in 3 groups of person .Results T2DM group and T2DM complicated with coronary heart disease with fasting glucose ,HbA1c ,TC and LDL‐C was significantly higher than normal group ,the difference was statistically significant(P<0 .05);The level of IL‐6 ,hs‐CRP in patients T2DM with coronary heart disease complicated was signifi‐cantly higher than that of T2DM group ,and T2DM group was higher than that of healthy group ,the differences were statistically significant(P<0 .05) .Conclusion IL‐6 and hs‐CRP can be as a specific index to predict the disease process of T2DM complicated with coronary heart disease .

Ischemic stroke(IS)is a severe cerebrovascular disease that seriously endangers human health.Gut microbiota plays a key role as an intermediate mediator in bidirectional regulation between the brain and the intestine.In recent years,trimethylamine N-oxide(TMAO)as a gut microbiota metabolite has received widespread attention in cardiovascular diseases.Elevated levels of TMAO may increase the risk of IS by affecting IS risk factors such as atherosclerosis,atrial fibrillation,hypertension,and type 2 diabetes.TMAO exacerbates neurological damage in IS patients,increases the risk of IS recurrence,and is an independent predictor of post-stroke cognitive impairment(PSCI)in patients.Current research suggests that the mechanisms of TMAO action include endothelial dysfunction,promoting of foam cell formation,influence on cholesterol metabolism,and enhancement of platelet reactivity.Lowering plasma TMAO levels through the rational use of traditional Chinese medicine,dietary management,vitamins,and probiotics can prevent and treat IS.
