Objective To investigate the effects of metabolically correlated factors on pig renal tubule in cellular level by observing effects of glucose,insulin and uric acid on activity of haemachrome oxygenase in renal tubular epithelial cells.Methods Pig near renal tubular cell line(LLC-PK1) was selected as experimental object.After stimulating cells respectively with glucose(5,10,22,33mmol/L),uric acid(0,0.1,0.2,0.4mmol/L);and insulin(0,10~(-9),0~(-8),10~(-7)mol/L) in different concentrations for 48 hours,the activity of HO-1 within the cells was determined.Results In uric acid group the activity of HO-1 was significantly increased in a concentration-dependent manner,while in glucose and insulin groups,the activity of HO-1 did not change.Conclusion After LLC-PK1 was stimulated by uric acid of different concentrations,HO-1 was induced evidently,which indicates that uric acid might affect oxidative stress in renal tubule cell line.

Objective To explore the influence of thyroid dysfunction in the first half pregnancy (≤20 gestational weeks) on gestational diabetes. Methords By adopting the method of prospective intervention study, general data of pregnant-women in the care clinics of our hospital were collected. Thyroid function was detected and evaluated by ATA criteria. All cases were divided into two groups: normal thyroid function group and thyroid dysfunction group. The thyroid dysfunction group was intervened. 75 g OGTT were conducted in all cases in 24-28 gestational-weeks. GDM was diagnosed by IADPSG diagnostic criteria. GDM prevalence was compared between normal thyroid function group and abnormal thyroid function groups. Results 1 062 cases of pregnant women were collected. 857 cases of pregnant women were normal, while 14 cases were subclinical hyperthyroidism (1.32%), 164 cases were subclinical hypothyroidism (15.4%), 22 cases were hypothyroxinemia (2.07%). Compared with normal thyroid function, prevalence rate of GDM was the highest in hypothyroxinemia group (54.5% vs 27.8%). There was no significant difference between subclinical hypothyroidism group and normal thyroid function group. Conclusion Thyroid dysfunction in the first half pregnancy is associated with GDM , Screening and treatment of pregnant thyroid dysfunction should be attached.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The past decades have seen increasing incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in China. This article aimed to summarize the current status and characteristics of surgical management for IBD in China. METHODS: We searched PubMed, Embase, and Chinese databases from January 1, 1990 to July 1, 2014 for all relevant studies on the surgical treatment IBD in China. Eligible studies with sufficient defined variables were further reviewed for primary and secondary outcome measures. RESULTS: A total of 74 studies comprising 2,007 subjects with Crohn's disease (CD) and 1,085 subjects with ulcerative colitis (UC) were included. The percentage of CD patients misdiagnosed before surgery, including misdiagnosis as appendicitis or UC, was 50.8%±30.9% (578/1,268). The overall postoperative complication rate was 22.3%±13.0% (267/1,501). For studies of UC, the overall postoperative complication rate was 22.2%±27.9% (176/725). In large research centers (n>50 surgical cases), the rates of emergency operations for CD (P=0.032) and in-hospital mortalities resulting from both CD and UC were much lower than those in smaller research centers (n≤50 surgical cases) (P=0.026 and P <0.001, respectively). Regarding the changes in CD and UC surgery over time, postoperative complications (P=0.045 for CD; P=0.020 for UC) and postoperative in-hospital mortality (P=0.0002 for CD; P=0.0160 for UC) both significantly improved after the year 2010. CONCLUSIONS: The surgical management of IBD in China has improved over time. However, the rates of misdiagnosis and postoperative complications over the past two decades have remained high. Large research centers were found to have relatively better capacity for surgical management than the smaller ones. Higher quality prospective studies are needed in China.

Objective:To establish the population pharmacokinetics model of mitiglinide given by oral route in Chinese healthy volunteers using nonlinear mixed effect model (NONMEM), investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of mitiglinide in Chinese healthy people to evaluate the factors that can influence the clinical pharmacokinetics of mitiglinide .Methods: Clinical data from 22 healthy volunteers were collected and the experiment was with single-dose administration.The volunteers were given 10 mg mitiglinide calcium orally and mitiglinide plasma concentration was determined by LC-MS/MS.The data was analyzed by the first order conditional estimation, and the influences of fixed effect factors such as demographic index and biochemical index were quantitatively evaluated . The population pharmacokinetics model of mitiglinide was established , and the result was verified by using the VPC and self-test meth-od.Results:The result showed that mitiglinide pharmacokinetics was fit single-compartment model .The inter-individual variability could be described by an exponential model .The typical values including central volume of distribution , clearance and absorption con-stant was 2.4 L· h-1(24％), 9.82 L(4％) and 6.46 h-1(14％), respectively.The clearance was influenced by creatinine clear-ance rate , and the absorption constant was influenced by ALT .Conclusion:The population pharmacokinetic parameters were mainly influenced by creatinine clearance rate and ALT .The established population pharmacokinetics model can explain the reasons for the in -dividual variation in the plasma concentration of mitiglinide , which can be used to guide the clinical administration of Chinese people .

OBJECTIVE To observe the effects of liraglutide on cardiovascular metabolism， left ventricular structure and function of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM）. METHODS Totally 351 NAFLD patients with T2DM were enrolled retrospectively， who visited the Department of Endocrinology in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2022. They were divided into control group （196 cases） and observation group （155 cases） according to different treatment regimens. The control group received conventional standard treatment， and the observation group was additionally given Liraglutide injection 0.6 mg/d subcutaneously once a day based on the control group， adjusted to 1.2 mg/d after 7 days. Both groups received regular treatment for more than 12 months. The propensity matching method was used to match the two groups of patients at a ratio of 1∶1. The cardiovascular metabolism indexes and cardiac ultrasound parameters were compared， and the correlation between left ventricular structure， function parameters and cardiovascular metabolism indexes was analyzed. RESULTS After propensity score matching， there was no significant difference in baseline clinical data between the two groups （each 155 cases） before treatment （P＞0.05）. After 12 months of treatment， the waist circumference， weight， body mass index （BMI）， systolic blood pressure （SBP）， fasting blood glucose （FBG）， glycosylated hemoglobin （HbA1c） and triglyceride （TG） of both groups， as well as the diastolic blood pressure （DBP）， total cholesterol （TC）， uric acid （UA） and left ventricular mass （LVM） of the observation group， exhibited a significant decrease compared to pre-treatment levels （P＜0.05）. The high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）， estimated glomerular filtration rate （eGFR）， and E/A ratio in both groups， as well as the aspartate aminotransferase （AST） in the control group and the left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） in the observation group， were all significantly increased compared with before treatment in the same group （P＜0.05）. Moreover， the improvement of the above indicators （except for TG and SBP） in the observation group was generally more significant than those in the control group （P＜0.05）. The left ventricular structure and functional parameters （LVM， LVEF， E/A ratio） of the two groups before and after treatment had varying degrees of correlation with the patients’ waist circumference， body weight， BMI， SBP， FBG and HbA1c. Moreover， BMI （observation group： β＝ 0.229， P＝0.004） and SBP （control group： β＝0.240， P＝0.004； observation group： β＝0.226， P＝0.007） were independent influential factors for LVM of the patients. CONCLUSIONS Liraglutide combined with conventional standard treatment can effectively control blood glucose in NAFLD patients with T2DM， reduce waist circumference， body weight and blood pressure， improve blood lipid disorders， and protect their cardiac structure and function.
