1.DPP-4 inhibitors in the treatment of type 2 diabetes
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2011;27(1):后插1-后插4
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) can maintain glucose homeostasis, improve islet function,delay and even reverse deterioration of type 2 diabetes by several pathways.But shortly after secreting and releasing into the blood, endogenous intact GLP-1 is cleavaged by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) into inactive forms.DPP4 inhibitors prevent the inactivation and enhance the physiological effects of GLP-1 through selectively suppressing the enzymic activity of DPP-4, resulting in reduction of HbA1C, fasting and postprandial plasma glucose in type 2diabetes mellitus.The favorable efficacy, safety, and tolerability of DPP-4 inhibitors, which have been well verified in numerous clinical trials and clinical practice for type 2 diabetes mellitus, render them a novel type of oral antidiabetic drugs.

Transport of gossypol by rat cauda epidldymis has been studied using microperfusion technique. It was found that gossypol entered ep-ididymal duct at very much limited rate in spite of its high plasma level. There was no difference between the aqueous & liposome formulations of gossypol to get into the epididymal duct from the blood. Since it was indicated in a previous paper that the transport rates of the 2 gossypol formulations via the blood-testis barrier were quite different. It is suggested that the transfer mechanism in test-is & epididymis may be different.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of dengue fever (DF) in Guangzhou Higher Education Mega Center (HEMC) in the year of 2014. Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out in the clinical data of 487 cases of DF patients. Results The incidence of DF accounted for 27.18% ( 527/1939) of the total emergeney fever cases. In 487 DF cases with detailed data, 261 were male, and 226 were female; 312 were young aged, 88 were middle aged, and 87 were old aged. For the systemic symptoms, fever accounted for 87.5%, headache 48.3%, and muscular soreness 47.6%. Cough ( 16.6%) , pharynx pain ( 16.8%) and running nose ( 10.9%) were common in respiratory symptoms; poor appetite ( 14.4%) and nausea ( 10.3%) were common in gastrointestinal symptoms. The abnormal laboratory parameters were mainly shown as WBC count ( 48.25%) and PLT count ( 41.68%) , following by creatine kinase ( CK, 39.49%) , aspartate aminotransferase ( AST, 34.12%) , and lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH, 31.96%) . Less cases had abnormal renal function. The distribution of Chinese medical syndrome types was shown as damp-heat blockage (65.7%), syndrome involving Weifen and Qifen simultaneously (23.6%), and Qi-yin deficiency (10.7%). Conclusion In the year of 2014, DF in Guangzhou HEMC occurred mainly among the youth people, the incidence of male DF was similar to that of the female DF, and DF cases usually have the primary symptoms of fever, aversion to cold, headache and muscular soreness. Bleeding is seldom seen in the DF patients, a few cases are complicated with the damage in the blood, liver and myocardium, and most of them have good prognosis.

Objective To investigate the appropriate waist circumference (WC) cutoff points for central obesity in the middle-aged and elderly Beijing residents by the metabolic syndrome definition of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). Methods A total of 2,344Beijing residents aged ≥40 years were investigated. They answered questionnaires, received physical examinations, and underwent plasma glucose and lipid profile measurement. Those non-diabetic subjects underwent a 75g oral glucose tolerance test. All data were analyzed to calculate the appropriate WC cutoff points for central obesity reaching the diagonsis of MS. Results 1) Both in males and females, the triglyceride (TG), systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) increased linearly with WC, and the high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) decreased linearly with WC (P<0.05). 2)The prevalence of elevated TG,reduced HDL-C, elevated blood pressure, elevated FBG, or ≥ 2 of these factors increased with WC (P<0.05). 3) Based on the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and Youden index, the WC values for central obesity and for detecting BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2were about 90 cm for men and 80 cm for women. 4) The odds ratio for the presence of two or more metabolic risk factors increased abruptly in men with WC ≥ 90 cm and in women with WC ≥ 80 cm. Conclusions The appropriate WC cutoff point for central obesity was determined to be 90 cm for men and 80 cm for women in the middle-aged and elderly Beijing residents by the metabolic syndrome definition of IDF.

Objective To improve the positivity for insulinoma localization by imaging before surgery.Methods The clinical data of 119 patients with insulinoma who had been admitted to Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 1985 to April 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. Results One hundred patients with hypoglycemia who had been operated and most of them (98/100) diagnosed as insulinoma pathologically were analyzed. They had undergone various methods of localization by imaging before surgery. The positive rates for tumor localization were 22.9% (17/74) by uhrasonography (US), 55.2% (48/87) by CT, 58.8% (10/17) by MRI,76.6% (49/64) by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) ,93.3% (42/45) by endtoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)and 94.7% (18/19) by uhrasonic contrast (UC). While the rates of accuracy for tumor localization were 88.2% (15/17) by US ,87.5% (42/48) by CT, 90.0% (9/10) by MR1,100.0% (49/49) by DSA, 85.7% (36/42) by EUS and 83.3% (15/18) by UC. The rates of accuracy in patients with one,two and three positive images were 88.9% (24/27), 96. 9% (32/33) and 94. 7% (18/19), respectively. The positive rates in patients with combination of two images were 47.6% (30/63) by CT and US ,75.5% (40/53) by CT and DSA ,89.2% (33/37)by CT and EUS,90.0% (27/30) by EUS and DSA ,78.6% (11/14) by DSA and UC ,92.3% (12/13) by CT and UC, and 90.9% (10/1 i) hy EUS and UC, respectively. Conclusion The positive rates and accuracy of localization for insulinoma were increased by combining at least two images, and the combinations of any two of four images including CT, DSA, EUS and UC are suggested. While considering both the cost and effect, we recommend CT combined either with EUS or UC.
