Objective To investigate the effect of hyperuricemia on early renal damage in patients with type 2 diabetic,and to explore the improvement of albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) after lifestyle intervention to control the level of serum uric acid.Methods One hundred and sixty patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus from our hospital from January 2012 to December 2012 were recruited and divided into the high uric acid group (HUA,60 cases),and the normal uric acid group (NUA,100 cases).Fasting blood glucose (FBG),insulin (FINS),glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c),serum lipid levels,morning urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) were detected in each group,and body mass index (BMI),insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) were calculated.The HUA group was intervened by lifestyle for at least 6 months,and related indexes were measured again.Results The FINS,HOMA-IR,ACR and triglyceride(TG) of the patients in the HUA group were higher than that in the NUA group((110.33 ±38.73) pmol/L vs.(72.64 ±21.94) pmol/L,t =2.876; (7.0 ±2.3)vs.(4.6±1.3),t =2.364;13.6(5.1,53.2) mg/mmol vs.6.4(2.9,16.8) mg/mmol,H=3.390;(2.53± 1.45) mmol/L vs.(1.71 ± 1.32) mmol/L,t =2.626 ; P ＜ 0.05).By the Spearman correlation analysis,the level of serum uric acid was positively correlated with FINS,HOMA-IR,ACR,and BMI (r =0.304,0.225,0.248,0.271 respectively; P ＜ 0.05).After adjusting the factor of age,duration,obesity,blood glucose and insulin resistance,the level of serum uric acid was still positively correlated with ACR (r =0.312,P ＜ 0.01).The FINS,UA,HOMA-IR and ACR in group HUA were lower than those before lifestyle intervention ((463.7± 18.6) μmol/L vs.(380.3 ± 9.5) μmol/L,t =3.065 ; (110.33 ± 38.73) pmol/L vs.(83.30 ± 28.21)pmol/L,t =2.532; (7.0 ±2.3) vs.(5.0 ±0.9),t =2.165;13.6(5.1,53.2) mg/mmol vs.8.1(4.9,20.4)mg/mmol,H =2.912 ; P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The patients with type 2 diabetes complicating hyperuricemia were likely to having abnormal ACR.Controlling the level of serum uric acid by lifestyle intervention may be benefit for delaying the development of early diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes.

To explore the feasibility of rapid proto-typing ( RP) technology in the treatment of Standford type A aortic dissection. 5 patients with Standford type A aortic dissection received computed tomography angiography (CTA) of their aortas. The CTA images were then processed by 3D reconstruction with MIMICS16. 0 in order to create aortic dissection models through RP technology based on real patient aorta size with a ratio of 1 ∶ 1 . Accord-ing to these models, the surgeons were able to fully understand the aortic diseases of patients, thus establish indi-vidualized treatment strategies for each patient. Besides, the surgeons simulated operations on the models, which helped them achieve better results in real surgery. These patients experienced no post-operative complications and were discharged from hospital with recovery. In conclusion, RP technology can provide adequate preoperotive prep-arations for patients with Standford type A aortic dissection, improve operation efficiency and accuracy in aortic dis-section and guide precise proximal anchoring of stents during intracavitary therapy.
