Objective The application of flash glucose monitoring ( FGM) in type 1 diabetes could diminish the frequency of hypoglycaemia, however, how FGM improving the glycaemic control target (e.g. HbA1C) is waited to be investigated. Methods Seventy type 1 diabetic patients were recruited from December 2017 to July 2018 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. Their demographic data, use of FGM and HbA1C level were collected. Results We observed that type 1 diabetic patients wearing the FGM showed lower insulin dose [(0.562± 0.059)U/kg vs (0.772±0.049)U/kg, P=0.008)], shorter diabetic duration[2.0(0.8-6.0) vs 6.0(2.5-10), P=0.013], lower HbA1C value [6.8%(6.2%-7.7%) vs 8.0%(6.9%-9.4%), P=0.001]. Nevertheless, after adjusting the potential confounders, the level of HbA1C in patients wearing FGM was significantly lower than those without FGM. Moreover, it was independent of other factors, such as the dose of insulin and the insulin delivery method. Conclusion Type 1 diabetic patients wearing FGM had lower HbA1C value but it needs further follow-up to confirm the improvement of glycaemic control in type 1 diabetes with the use of FGM.
10.Advances of functionalized carbon nanotubes in diagnosis and treatment of tumor
Journal of China Pharmaceutical University 2018;49(2):165-172
Carbon nanotubes have become a kind of superior antitumor drug and gene carrier due to their special cylindrical structure with high loading capacity and easy penetration into the cell membrane. With the gradual development of researches on carbon nanotubes, their applications in tumor photothermal therapy and diagnosis have also become current research hotspots. However, chemical inertness and aggregation of carbon nanotubes have limited their clinical application. To overcome their drawbacks, researchers would functionalize the carbon nanotubes before further researches. In this article, applications of functionalized carbon nanotubes in cancer chemotherapy and gene therapy, photothermal therapy and cancer diagnosis are summarized.
