Periodontitis is the main cause of adult tooth loss, which seriously affects oral health and acts as a high-risk factor for varieties of systemic diseases. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as glucose intolerance occurred or firstly identified during pregnancy. Prevalence of GDM is increasing over the past years worldwide. Besides adverse effects toward maternal and infant health in perinatal period, GDM also has long-term effects. Current studies have demonstrated that there is a bidirectional relationship between periodontitis and diabetes; however, the exact relationship between periodontitis and GDM remains elusive. In this paper, first reviewed the clinical association of periodontitis and GDM, and then discussed the underlying mechanisms of the two diseases, finally summarized the positive effect of periodontal therapy in controlling GDM. This paper will provide theoretical basis for the prevention diagnosis and therapy for the related diseases, promoting the maternal and infant health.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the major chronic complications of diabetes and is associated with a heavy disease burden. Since the release of the National Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Diabetes in Primary Care (2018), there has been continuous improvement in the basic public health services and basic medical services of the primary care setting and an expansion of the scope of work. Therefore, more detailed technical guidelines for the prevention and management of diabetes and its complications in primary care are needed. This guide aims to promote the standardization of DKD prevention and control in primary care, to assist primary care physicians with the prevention and control of DKD, and to ensure the comprehensive management of patients with DKD. The contents include the basic requirements for the management, overview, screening, diagnosis and staging, treatment, follow-up, and referral of patients with DKD.

Major and profound changes have taken place in China over the past 30 years. Rapid socioeconomic progress has exerted a great impact on lifestyle, ranging from food, clothing, working and living conditions, and means of transportation to leisure activities and entertainment. At the same time, new health problems have emerged, and health services are facing new challenges. Presently, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are among the top health problems of the Chinese people, and pose a serious challenge to all engaged in the prevention and control of these diseases. An epidemic of CVD in China is emerging as a result of lifestyle changes, urbanization and longevity. Both national policy decision-making and medical practice urgently need an authoritative report which comprehensively reflects the trends in the epidemic of CVD and current preventive measures. Since 2005, guided by the Bureau of Disease Prevention of the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China and the National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases of China, nationwide experts in the fields of epidemiology, clinical medicine and health economics in the realms of CVD, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes and chronic kidney disease, completed the Report on Cardiovascular Diseases in China every year. The report aims to provide a timely review of the trend of the epidemic and to assess the progress of prevention and control of CVD. In addition, as the report is authoritative, representative and readable, it will become an information platform in the CVD field and an important reference book for government, academic institutes, medical organizations and clinical physicians. This publication is expected to play a positive role in the prevention and control of CVD in China. We present an abstract from the Report on Cardiovascular Diseases in China (2010), including trends in CVD, morbidity and mortality of major CVDs, up-to-date assessment of risk factors, as well as health resources for CVD, and a profile of medical expenditure, with the aim of providing evidence for decision-making in CVD prevention and control programs in China, and of delivering the most authoritative information on CVD prevention and control for all citizens.

OBJECTIVESTo investigate if hyperinsulinemia or insulin resistance could predict the elevation of blood pressure in non-diabetic adults.

METHODSOne hundred and seventy non-diabetic adults (NGT 107, IGT 63) were included based on the screen by OGTT in 1986. Height, weight, blood pressure were measured. Plasma glucose and insulin concentration at 0.60 and 120 min during OGTT were determined at baseline. All the subjects were followed for six years with blood pressure and plasma glucose examined at the end of the study. Subjects worsening to diabetes were excluded. Insulin area under-curve (INSAUC) and insulin sensitivity index [IAI = (1/FINS x FPG)] were calculated. Stepwise regression analysis was performed to evaluate the effects of INSAUC and insulin sensitivity to the elevation of blood pressure.

RESULTSBoth SBP and DBP levels at the end of the study were increased with increased INSAUC baseline. The SBP were (119.5 +/- 2.3), (122.1 +/- 2.5), (129.4 +/- 2.4) and (128.3 +/- 2.6) mmHg, and the DBP were (78.6 +/- 1.6), (79.7 +/- 1.7), (85.2 +/- 1.4) and (84.0 +/- 1.0) mmHg from the lowest to the highest quartiles of INSAUC respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed Age, SBP, DBP, BMI, FINS, INS1h, INSAUC at baseline were positively correlated to blood pressure levels at the end of the study. After the adjustment of Age, sex, BMI, smoking, PG2 h and blood pressure at baseline, the INSAUC was significantly correlated to blood pressure six years later, while the insulin sensitivity index was not.

CONCLUSIONThe compensated hyperinsulinemia based on selective insulin resistance rather than insulin resistance to glucose per se could predict the elevation of blood pressure in nondiabetic adults.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the prevention and management of complications after laparoscopic gastric bypass (LRYGB) operation.

METHODSClinical data of 82 cases (9 cases of simple obesity, 55 of obesity complicated with type 2 diabetes, 18 of non-obesity simple type 2 diabetes) undergoing LRYGB in our hospital between May 2010 to May 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Cause of complication was explored and experience was summarized in order to provide reference to clinical practice.

RESULTS RESULTSThere was no mortality and re-admission within 30 days after procedures. Nine patients developed complications. Punctural injury occurred in 1 patient(1.2%) and laparotomy surgery was performed to stop bleedind. Hemorrhage was observed in 4 patients(4.9%, one patients had concurrent anastomotic ulcer) and was cured by either gastrolavage with solution of epinephrine and normal saline or cautery under gastroscope. Anastomotic leakage occurred in one patient(1.2%) which was cured by placing nose-gastro tube immediately after diagnosis of leakage and total enteral nutrition for one month. Anastomotic stricture occurred in 1 patient(1.2%), general peritonitis occurred after balloon dilation and laparoscopic repair was performed to repair the perforation due to dilation. Gastroplegia occurred in two patients(2.4%) and was cured after fasting, gastrointestinal decompression, usage of gastrointestinal prokinetic medications and enteral nutrition. All complications were cured at last. BMI of all patients dropped in vary extent after a follow up of 19.0-35.0(29.1±5.4) months.

CONCLUSIONSComplication after LRYGB operation may be prevented by active preoperative preparation, surgical precision, and intensive postoperative care. Even complications occur, the corresponding treatments are effective.

BACKGROUND: The Diabcare-Asia study was designed for the purpose of describing diabetes control and management, and late complication status in the diabetic population. METHODS: From the 1st of July 2001 to the 1st of September 2001, data from 1170 diabetic patients were collected in 21 centers (one university hospital and 20 clinics located in Seoul and in Gyeonggi, Korea), and blood samples were collected for centralized HbA1c measurements. RESULTS: Only 16.8% of patients at the clinics reported self-monitoring their blood glucose. The mean HbA1c was 7.3 +/- 1.4% at the hospital and 7.5 +/- 1.5% at the clinics, and the mean fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels were 7.0 +/- 3.3 mmol/L at the hospital and 7.9 +/- 2.5 mmol/L at the clinics. About 40% of patients had a HbA1c and FPG above the normal upper limits. Screening for microalbuminuria was rarely performed. The available data represents only about 0.9% of the patients at the hospital and 12.3% of the patients at the clinics. Nephropathy (serum creatinine > 2 mg/dL) was found in 0.8% of the patients at the hospital and in 3.4% of the patients at the clinics. Retinopathy and neuropathy were commonly reported diabetic complications. The prevalence of other severe late complications was relatively low. CONCLUSION: The data revealed suboptimal glycemic control in about 40% of patients.
