OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of self-management of diabetic patients on diabetes mellitus and its complication in Chongqing. METHODS: Hospitalized diabetic patients were surveyed randomly using questionnaire modified and simplified from diabetes care profile(DCP)and diabetes knowledge test(DKT)designed by Diabetes Research and Training Center of Michigan University. RESULTS: Most of diabetic patients showed a low level of self-management. The self-management of young and middle aged diabetic patients was poorer than that of aged patients. The glucose control in patients who received diabetic education was superior to those without receiving diabetic education. The glucose control in patients with regular outpatient follow-up was better than patients followed up by other methods. A large number of diabetic patients combined with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases got the bad habits of drinking and smoking. CONCLUSION: Diabetic education is a important method to improve the self-management of diabetic patients. The conception of diabetic patients on diabetic education in Chongqing should be improved.

OBJECTIVETo study the genetic polymorphisms of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) among the Han, Buyi and Miao populations in Guizhou and to provide genetic data for establishment of the genetic polymorphism bank of Guizhou Minorities.

METHODSThe technique of polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to detect the genotype and allele frequencies at two mononucleotide sites (677 and 1298) of MTHFR among the Han population in Libo county, the Buyi population in Libo county and the Miao population in Leishan county.

RESULTSAt the site of 677, the T allele frequencies were found to be 22.8%, 16.1%, 10.6%, for the Han, Buyi, Miao populations respectively. At the site of 1298, the C allele frequencies were 28.9%, 39.1%, 48.7% for the Han, Buyi, Miao populations respectively. The frequencies for the combined heterozygote of 677CT/1298AC were 16.66%, 22.7%, 11.1% for the three populations respectively. Moreover, one case with combined homozygote of 677TT/1298CC was seen in the Miao population.

CONCLUSIONThe polymorphisms of the two mononucleotide sites (677 and 1298) of MTHFR are diverse in different populations. The C allele frequencies at the site of MTHFR 1298 of the Miao population in Leishan county and the Buyi population in Libo county are high, and the C allele frequency in the Miao population is higher than those hitherto reported in literature.

AIM: To probe into the related influencing factors of serum lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2)level in patients with diabetic retinopathy.

METHODS: Totally 174 cases of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and who treated in Department of Endocrinology from September 2015 to September 2017 were selected as the research objects, and were divided into the non-diabetic retinopathy group(NDR), non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy group(NPDR)and proliferative diabetic retinopathy group(PDR)according to the results of fundus examination. Then, the age, sex, body mass index(BMI), blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipids, vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), C-reactive protein(CRP), and Lp-PLA2 levels and other clinical data of three groups of patients were collected and compared.

RESULTS: There was significant differences in the duration of diabetes, fasting blood glucose(FBP), 2h postprandial blood glucose(2hBP), HbA1c, triacylglycerol(TG), total cholesterol(TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), VEGF, CRP, Lp-PLA2 between the three groups of patients(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in serum TG, TC, HDL-C and CRP levels between NPDR group and NDR group(P>0.05). While there was significant difference in biochemical indexes of patients between PDR group and NDR group(P<0.05). The VEGF, CRP and Lp-PLA2 in the PDR group were significantly higher than those in the NPDR group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis found that the serum Lp-PLA2 was positively correlated with age, course of disease, 2hBG, TG, VEGF and CRP(P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that serum Lp-PLA2 was positively correlated with the course of diabetes mellitus and serum level of VEGF(P<0.05).

CONCLUSION: The level of serum Lp-PLA2 in patients with diabetic retinopathy are significantly increased, which the level is positively correlated with the duration of diabetes and serum VEGF level, thus it can be used as diagnostic index for diabetic retinopathy.
