Objective To explore the levels of serum adiponectin(APN)and homocysteine(Hcy)in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes metlitus(T2DM)complicating retinopathy and the relation between these two indicators.Methods Sixt-eight cases of complicating retinopathy(T2DM+DR group)were screened from the elderly inpatients with T2DM in our hospital from January 2012 to December 2014.Their general data were investigated.The routine biochemical indicators were tested.The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was employed to measure the serum total APN,high molecular weight APN and Hcy levels.Mean while the correlation among total APN,high molecular weight APN and Hcy was evaluated by adopting the Pearson correlation analysis.Contemporaneous 65 cases of elderly T2DM and 70 elderly people undergoing the healthy physical examination were chosen as the T2DM group and NC group respectively.Results The WHR,FBP,TC,TG,LDL-C,HbA1c,FINS and HOMA-IR in the T2DM+DR group and T2DM group were higher than those in the NC group,while the HDL-C level was lower than that in the NC group(P＜0.05);the duration and BMI of the T2DM-4-DR group were higher than those of the T2DM group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05);the levels of total APN and high molecular weight APN in the T2DM+DR group and T2DM group were lower than those in the NC group,while the Hcy level was higher than that in the NC group(P＜0.05);moreover the levels of total APN and high molecular weight APN in the T2DM+DR group were lower than those in the T2DM group,and Hey level was higher than that in the T2DM group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05);the levels of total APN(r=-0.654)and high molecular weight APN(r=-0.562)were negatively correlated with the Hey level in the T2DM+DR group(P＜ 0.05).Conclusion The serum APN level is decreased and Hcy level is increased in elderly patients with T2DM complicating retinopathy,which may be associated with the progression of retinopathy in T2DM.

Objective To synthesize aristolochic acid Ⅰ(AAⅠ)-DNA adduct in vitro and to develop a method for the characterization of the adduct. Methods Aristolochic acid (AA) was incubated with 2′-Deoxyadenosine 5′-monophosphate in vitro using either enzymatic activation (by xanthine oxidase) or chemical activation (by zinc) to synthesize AAⅠ-DNA adduct. The AAⅠ-DNA adduct was characterized by the liquid chromatography electrospray ionization/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). Results AAⅠ-DNA adduct was prepared by two activation methods. Full scan spectra were obtained in the negative ion mode and the quasi-molecular ion peak was m/z 621. Analysis by electrospray ionization/tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) provided useful structural information about AAⅠ-DNA adduct. Conclusion AAⅠ can bind covalently to the exocyclic amino group of purine nucleotides to form AAⅠ-DNA adduct. LC/MS/MS is a practical tool to detect AAⅠ-DNA adduct.

AIM: Lycopene as an antioxidant can decrease the risk of age-related chronic diseases, such as cancer. In this study, we investigated the impact of lycopene on bone mineral density and bone biomechanics in experimental osteoporotic rats. METHODS: The experiment was performed at the Animal Experiment Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical College from July 2006 to November 2007. The lycopene was provided by the Xinjiang Zhixing Technology Invest Development Company, and diluted to certain concentration by corn oil. Fifty six-month-old SPF female Wistar rats were selected and divided into 5 groups (n=10) according to body mass: Sham operation and corn oil group (2 mL/d), ovariectomy (OVX) and corn oil group (2 mL/d), OVX and estradiol benzoate (EB) group (0.2 mg/kg, once a week), low and high lycopene groups (10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg, once a day). Except the sham operation group, all rats underwent OVX to establish models of osteoporosis. Each group was administrated corresponding medicine for 12 weeks. RESULTS: Within 2 weeks postoperatively, 1 of sham operation group died and 2 of low lycopene group died. Finally, 47 rats were included in final analysis. ①The lumbar and femoral bone mineral density and maximum stress of ovariectomized rats were significantly lower than those of sham operation group (P
