Objective To compare the clinical effects and safety of treating newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients by combining Glargine insulin with Metformin or/and Acarbose. Methods 84 patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes ,who have a history of weight loss, body mass index( BMI )23 ~ 28kg/m2 and poorly controlled blood glucose in Metformin at least a month ,were randomly divided into three groups. Glargine insulin plus Mefformin were used in group A. Glargine insulin plus Acarbose(without mefformin)were used in group B, Glargine insulin, Acarbos and metformin were used in Group C. All three groups were given a 12-week follow-up. Results FBG,2hBG and HbA1c levels were lower in the patients after treatment( P <0. 05 ). HbA1c of patients was partly up to the standard in group A and group B,but HbA1c of patients was all up to the standard in group C. The effects in group C were better than those in group A and group B. It had the shortest time to achieve the target and the smallest dose of insulin in group C. BMI in group A and B did not change but decreased in group C(P>0.05).The incidence of low blood sugar in all three groups was low and no significant difference observed among three groups (P>0.05). And in all three groups no severe hypoglycemia occurred. Conclusion The method of combining Glargine insulin with Mefformin or/and Acarbose could effectively control blood sugar had little impact on body weight of the newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients, and moreover, the incidence of low blood sugar in the newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients was lower. It would be the ideal method to treat newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients considering the general safety and effectiveness and convenience.

Objective:
To examine the causal relationship between endometrial cancer and breast cancer using bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach.
Methods:
Genetic association data of endometrial cancer were collected through a meta analysis, including 54 884 participants and 9 464 330 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and genetic association data of breast cancer were collected through the Breast Cancer Society Consortium, with 228 951 participants and 10 680 257 SNPs. A forward MR analysis was performed using the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method with 8 endometrial cancer-associated SNPs as instrumental variables and breast cancer as the study outcome, and a reverse MR analysis was performed with 112 breast cancer-associated SNPs as instrumental variables and endometrial cancer as the study outcome. The heterogeneity was assessed using the Cochran's Q test, the horizontal pleiotropy was assessed using the MR-PRESSO test and MR-Egger regression, and the robustness of the results was verified with the leave-one-out.
Results:
Forward MR analysis results showed that patients with genetically predicted endometrial cancer had an increased risk of breast cancer compared to those without endometrial cancer (OR=1.083, 95%CI: 1.037-1.132). Reverse MR analysis showed that patients with genetically predicted breast cancer had an increased risk of endometrial cancer compared to those without breast cancer (OR=1.070, 95%CI: 1.010-1.134). Cochran's Q test detected no heterogeneity (P>0.05), and neither the MR-PRESSO test nor the MR-Egger regression revealed horizontal pleiotropy of instrumental variables (both P>0.05). Leave-one-out analysis showed robustness of the MR analysis results.
Conclusion
There are bidirectional causal relationship between endometrial cancer and breast cancer.
