An article entitled "Adrenal incidentalomas are tied to increased risk of diabetes: findings from a prospective study" published in JCEM in April 2020, was hereby translated into Chinese after obtaining the copyright [Giuseppe R, et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 2020, 105(4): dgz284]. This is a prospective study to explore the frequency of adrenal incidentalomas and their association with comorbid diseases. It recruited 601 patients who underwent abdominal CT scan in the radiology department at a public hospital. Those with any history or doubt of adrenal diseases or malignancy were considered as non-eligible. In 7.3% of the patients, adrenal incidentalomas were serendipitously found. The patients with an adrenal incidentaloma were with higher body mass index( P=0.009) and higher waist circumference( P=0.007) and were more frequently diabetic(31.8% vs 14.2%, P=0.003 8). Multivariate regression analysis showed that diabetes was significantly associated with the presence of adrenal incidentalomas( P=0.003). Autonomous cortisol secretion was observed in 50% of patients(plasma cortisol≥50 nmol/L after 1 mg dexamethasone). This is the first study showing that the frequency of adrenal incidentalomas is 7.3% in a prospective radiological series avoiding ascertainment bias and adrenal incidentalomas are tied to increased risk of type 2 diabetes.

Objective: To study the inhibitory and apoptosis-inducing effect of vitamin E succinate (VES) on androgen-independent prostate cancer cell line PC-3 in vitro. Methods: VES was dissolved with ethanol to obtain VES solution. PC-3 cells of logarithmic growth phase were treated with various concentrations of VES solution (25, 50, 75, 100, and 125mg/L); cells in control group were treated with 1.25% ethanol. MTT method was used to measure the viability and inhibitory rate of cells in each group 24h, 48h and 72h after VES treatment; flow cytometry was employed to determine the apoptosis rate of the PC-3 cells. Results: The viability of cells in the experimental groups was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The viability of cells in the experimental groups was negatively correlated with the concentration and exposure period of VES solution; the viability of cells in the control group was positively correlated with the exposure period of VES solution. The apoptosis rate of cells in the experimental groups was much higher than that in the control group; the rate in the experimental group was positively correlated with the concentration and exposure period of VES solution. The optimal induction of apoptosis was achieved af ter 48 h exposure to 75 mg/L VES solution, with a apoptosis rate above 80%. Conclusion: VES can inhibit the proliferation of PC-3 cells and can induce apoptosis of them, which casts new lights on prevention and treatment of prostate cancer.
