Objective:To explore the specific changes and correlations of sex hormones and lipid metabolism in overweight and obese boys aged 9-12 years.Methods:Seventy-two male subjects (9 to 12 years old) were divided into normal weight group ( n=42), overweight group ( n=15), and obese group ( n=15). Plasma sex hormone levels and lipid levels were detected by chemiluminescence immunoassay and ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/QTOF/MS). All data were analyzed by multivariate statistics analysis. Results:(1) The serum concentration of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) in obese group and overweight group was significantly lower than that in normal weight group, and the serum concentration of SHBG in obese group was significantly lower than that in overweight group ( P<0.05). The serum concentrations of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in overweight and obese group were significantly higher than those in normal weight group ( P<0.05). (2) There were 171 kinds of differential lipid compounds between normal weight group and overweight group, 218 species of differential lipid compounds between normal weight group and obese group, and 34 species of differential lipid compounds between overweight and obese group. Among them, 150 kinds of lipid compounds in normal weight group were significantly different from those in overweight and obese group. (3) SHGB was positively correlated with phosphatidyl cholines (PC) (20∶0/0∶0) and PC[18∶1(9E)/0∶0]( r=0.6, P<0.05), DHEA was positively correlated with diacylglycerol (DG)[17∶2(9Z, 12Z)/22∶0/0∶0]( r=0.5, P<0.05). Conclusions:9-12 years old overweight and obese boys had early growth and development, but sex hormone levels were not synchronized with growth and development. The serum DHEA level in overweight and obese boys was significantly increased, while the level of DG [17∶2 (9Z, 12Z)/22∶0/0∶0] was significantly increased, and the serum SHGB concentration was significantly decreased, while the vast majority of PC was significantly down-regulated. The mechanism of these changes needs to be further studied.

ObjectiveTo investigate the positive rate of thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPO-Ab) in the diabetic in-patients. MethodsThe positive rates of thyroid peroxidase antibody ( TPO-Ab ) was measured in 1884 subjects, including 1508 type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM ), 76 classic typetype 1 diabeties( T1 DM ), 44 latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and 256 "untype" diabetics ( NTDM ). Clinical data were registered and analyzed. Results( 1 )The positive rates of TPO-Ab were 14. 59% in T2DM(220/1508) ,42. 11% in T1DM (32/76) ,31.25% in NTDM ( 80/256 ), 63.64% in LADA group ( 28/44 ), respectively. The positive rate of T2DM was significantly lower than that of LADA ( P < 0. 05 ), but no significant difference was found in the coparison between T1 DM and NTDM ( P > 0. 05 ). ( 2 ) There were no significant differences between LADA and NTDM groups in the comparison of age, course of disease and BMI ( Ps > 0. 05 ). Conclusion①The positive rate of TPO-Ab in NTDM was significantly higher than that of T2DM, whereas significantly lower than that of T1 DM and LADA.②The positive rate of TPO-Ab was highest in LADA, which indicate that LADA and AIT might have the common etiological mechanisms. ③There is a consisted increasing trend in the positive rate of TPO-Ab from T2DM ,NTDM,and classic T1DM to LADA.
