An investigation was performed on 70 diabetes patients (44 males, 26 females, aged 25-82 years) at the Hospital 103 from October 2001 to July 2002. Results showed the incidence of 34,2% of diabetes. Among them 83,3% were urological symptomatic infection, 16,6% asymptomatic. Screening test formd urine white blood cells (+) with bacteria on Gram dyed sample. E. Coli account for the highest rate of bacteria causing urological infection, following by S. aureus and other intestinal bacteria.

Literatures have demonstrated the association between oral diseases and systemic diseases. For example, periodontitis is associated with coronary heart disease, diabetes, preterm low birth weight, and gastritis. Therefore, more relevant research on the relationship between oral diseases and systemic diseases should be carried out.

The review is aimed to explore the clinical and pathogenic spectrum of autoimmune diabetes including Type 1 diabetes and latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). Genetic susceptibility modifies age at onset in autoimmune diabetes. The most important genetic susceptibility to Type 1 diabetes and LADA is in the HLA region. Because of the age-related genetic factors, LADA can not be distinguished from classic Type 1 diabetes by genetics. Non-genetic factors contribute much to Type 1 diabetes, but little is known in LADA. Diabetes-associated immune process can occur in early childhood and can be predictive of an ongoing beta cell destruction. The management and prevention of LADA need to be investigated in order to define the best therapeutic strategy.

Cardiovascular diseases account for approximately 80% of deaths among individuals with diabetes mellitus, with diabetic cardiomyopathy as the major diabetic cardiovascular complication. Hyperglycemia is a symptom that abnormally activates multiple downstream pathways and contributes to cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, apoptosis, and other pathophysiological changes. Although glycemic control has long been at the center of diabetes therapy, multicenter randomized clinical studies have revealed that intensive glycemic control fails to reduce heart failure-associated hospitalization and mortality in patients with diabetes. This finding indicates that hyperglycemic stress persists in the cardiovascular system of patients with diabetes even if blood glucose level is tightly controlled to the normal level. This process is now referred to as hyperglycemic memory (HGM) phenomenon. We briefly reviewed herein the current advances that have been achieved in research on the underlying mechanisms of HGM in diabetic cardiomyopathy.

As the incidence of diabetes mellitus is rapidly increasing worldwide,that of related complications,such as diabetic kidney disease(DKD),also increases,conferring a heavy economic burden on the patients,families,society,and government.Diabetes mellitus complicated with chronic kidney disease(CKD)includes DKD and the CKD caused by other reasons.Because of the insufficient knowledge about CKD,the assessment of diabetes mellitus complicated with CKD remains to be improved.The therapies for diabetes mellitus complicated with CKD focus on reducing the risk factors.In clinical practice,DKD may not be the CKD caused by diabetes.According to clinical criteria,some non-diabetic kidney disease may be misdiagnosed as DKD and not be treated accurately.This review summarizes the status quo and research progress in the assessment,diagnosis,and treatment of diabetes mellitus complicated with CKD and predicts the directions of future research in this field.
