Objective To analyze the changes of the intima-media thickness(IMT)of carotid and femoral arteries, serum advanced glycosylation end-products(AGEs),and AGEs soluble receptor(sRAGE)after intensively controlling blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipid. Methods One hundred and thirty-two type 2 diabetic patients were divided into 3 groups and followed for 5 years: 20 patients were treated with intensive control of blood glucose and blood pressure, 80 patients with intensive control of blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipid; and 32 patients with conventional therapy. AGEs, sRAGE, and IMT of carotid and femoral arteries were measured and compared among different groups. Results The IMT of carotid and femoral arteries and serum level of AGEs were significantly decreased after intensive treatment. The ratio of sRAGE and HbA1C(sRAGE/HbA1C)were negatively correlated with the mean of HbA1Cin the past five years(r=-0.417, P<0.001)and the fluctuation of HbA1C(r=-0.309,P<0.001). Multinomial regression analysis showed that AGEs were the important risk factors of IMT of femoral artery(β=0.152,P=0.068). Conclusion Intensive treatment is significant in controlling the growing IMT of carotid and femoral arteries, while decreasing serum level of AGEs.

Objective To establish the reference value of liver virtual touch tissues quantification (VTQ) values in healthy subjects. Methods Liver stiffness was measured with Siemens Acuson S2000 ultrasound system in totally 300 healthy subjects. The first one hundred healthy subjects received VTQ measurements in four parts (superficial and deep parts of right lobe, superficial and deep parts of left lobe). Then the achievement rate in different part of liver was calculated to choose the suitable measuring position. On the other hand, the reproducibility was analyzed with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The last two hundred healthy subjects received VTQ measurements in the suitable position only. The reference value of VTQ was calculated using (x-)±1.96s. Results It was stable to measure liver stiffness with VTQ technique. The achievement rate was high in right lobe, and the deep parts of right lobe was the best measuring position. There was significant difference of VTQ value between males and females (P<0.001), while the VTQ value was similar in different age groups. The reference value was 0.79-1.57 m/s in males and 0.74-1.40 m/s in females. Conclusion Liver VTQ value in healthy subjects are different between males and females.
