The plasma fructosamine (FTS) level in 141 diabetics (2.99?0.69 mmol/L) was significantly higher than that in 42 non-diabetics (2.18?0.27 mmol/L), (P
2.A population association study of glucokinase gene and non-insulin-dependent (type 2) diabetes mellitus in Chinese
Chinese Journal of Diabetes 1993;0(00):-
The association of glucokinase(GCK) gene with type 2 diabetes in Chinese was studied by using the polymerase-chain-reaction amplified microsatellite polymorphism marker, GCK-5'. In comparison with non-diabetics,allele 4 was significantly increased in type 2 diabetics(X2 = 6. 773,P=0. 009). The frequency of genotype 44 and 4X was significantly higher in type 2 diabetics than in non-di-abetics(X2 = 6. 439, P = 0.011). The allelic frequency difference was also observed in overweight/obese subgroup compariscn(X2 = 7. 718,P = 0. 021). The risk of type 2 diabetes in Chinese with genotype 44 or 4X is about 3. 6 times higher than in Chinese with genotype XX. Our results indicate that GCK is associated with type 2 diabetes in Chinese.

Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2000;8(3):135-138
ObjectiveTo investigate the association between a new identified Gly82Ser polymorphism of RAGE gene and diabetic microangiopathy,a case control study of 260 Chinese subjects (including 156 type 2 diabetics with or without nephropathy or retinopathy and 104 non diabetic control) was performed.MethodsGenotype frequencies of Gly82Ser polymorphism were studied by PCR RFLP analysis with AluI digestion.ResultsThe most frequent genotype and allele of Gly82Ser polymorphism of RAGE gene in Chinese were genotype GG and allele G.Their frequency distribution showed significant difference between Chinese and Caucasian.There was no difference in genotype frequencies or allele frequencies between type 2 diabetic patients (DN 0) and the control subjects.Genotype and allele frequencies did not differ in type 2 diabetic subjects with nephropathy or without nephropathy.Moreover,there were no associations between diabetic patients with or without retinopathy in genotype and allele frequencies as well (two tailed Fisher’s exactP >0.05).ConclusionOur results showed that Gly82Ser polymorphism in RAGE gene was not associated with diabetic microangiopathy,which suggests that these genetic variants may not be involved in the mechanism of diabetic microangiopathy in Chinese type 2 diabetics.
4.Assessment of islet ?-cell function: from basic research to clinical practice
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 1986;0(03):-
The deficiency in islet ?-cell secretion and (or) the decrease in insulin sensitivity of target tissue are the important pathophysiological mechanisms of diabetes. The methods for the assessment and evaluation of ?-cell function can be divided into: pulsatile insulin secretion, glucose secretagogues, non-glucose secretagogues (phase, peak value and duration) and other secretions. While the suitable method was chosen for the evaluation of ?-cell function, the sensitivity and specificity of different methods in the natural history of diabetes and the objective of evaluation should be all taken into account.

Objective To study the impact of single nucleotide polymorphism 43 (UCSNP43) of calpain 10 gene (CAPN 10) at NIDDM1 locus, chromosome 2q37.3 on glucose intolerance status and its intermediate traits. Methods The studied population consisted of 320 Chinese subjects in Shanghai 〔normal glucose tolerance (NGT) 148, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) 44 and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) 128〕. Plasma glucose, insulin, C peptide and free fatty acid levels were measured during fasting and 30, 60, 120 and 180 min after oral 75 g glucose load. The tissue insulin sensitivity and islet beta cell insulin secretion were assessed by HOMA formulae and the ratio of the increment of insulin and glucose levels at 30 min. The CAPN 10 UCSNP43 was genotyped by DNA direct sequencing. Results (1) The frequencies of GG, GA and AA genotypes of CAPN 10 UCSNP 43 were 0.80, 0.18 and 0.02 respectively. The G allele frequency was 0.89, which was statistically significant higher than those in Caucasians, Mexican Americans and Pima Indians (all P

Objective To establish an extended hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp for the study of insulin sensitivity in Chinese. Methods Combining glucose clamp, 3 3H labelled glucose tracer technique and indirect calorimetry, an extended hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp technique was applied into the study of methodology in 9 normal weight subjects with normal glucose tolerance. Results (1) When a higher level of insulin was created during maintaining euglycemia, hepatic glucose production was completely inhibited, and the counter regulatory hormones (including cortisol, growth hormone and glucagon) and endogenous insulin secretion were not significantly stimulated. (2) During the steady state of the extended hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp, the insulin mediated glucose disappearance rate was significantly increased compared with basal state 〔(5.86?0.65)mg?kg -1 ?min -1 vs (2.45?0.15)mg?kg -1 ?min -1 , P

Objective To explore the relationship between 677C/T polymorphism of methy lenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene and diabetic macrovascular complications (including cerebral infarction and coronary heart disease) in Shanghai.Methods Among 416 Chinese subjects, 216 were in macrovascular disease group 〔the atherosclerosis (AS) group〕 which included cerebral infarction (CI) subgroup consisting of 111 subjects (50 cases with and 61 without diabetes) and coronary heart disease (CHD) subgroup consisting of 105 subjects (48 with and 57 without diabetes); 100 subjects were in diabetes group without macrovascular disease (DM); and 100 normal subjects in control group (C). Genotypes were determined by PCR/restriction enzyme digestion and the relationship between 677C/T polymorphism and diabetic macrovascular complications was studied by population based association analysis. Results The frequencies of MTHFR TT genotype and T allele were significantly higher in macrovascular disease group. Logistic regression analysis showed that MTHFR gene was a potential contributor to AS. Comparison of genotype frequencies between diabetic and non diabetic subgroups in macrovascular disease group revealed no difference. Significant difference of high density lipoprotein cholesterol and diastolic blood pressure between different genotype subgroups was observed within some macrovascular disease groups after stratification by sex and diabetes. Conclusion MTHFR contributes to the development of macroangiopathy (cerebral infarction and coronary heart disease) whether associated with type 2 diabetes or not in Shanghai district.

ObjeclJve To definine the corresponding value to glycated albumin(GA)for a specific target of HbAlc,and to elvaluate the relationship between GA and HbA1c.Methods From Oct.2006 TO Apr.2009, 2 532 subjects were enrolled who accepted oral glucose tolerance test(OGtt)in out-patient department,including 898 with normal glucose regulation,695 with impaired glucose regulation,and 939 with newly-diagnosed diabetes.GA was measured with liquid enzymatic method.HbA1c was measured with high performance liquid chromatography method.The plasma glucose was measured at fasting,0.5 h,1 h,2 h,and 3h after glucose load.The correlation among GA,HbA1c and the other parameters monitored was analyzed.Results (1)The levels of HbA1c and GA in 2 532 subjects were(6.3±1.1)% and(17.9±4.5)%.The ratio of GA/HbA1c was 2.85±0.51.(2)HbAlc and GA were positively correlated with fasting,0.5 h,1 h,2 h and 3 h plasma glucose(r was in 0.567-0.776,atl P<0.01).(3)GA was significantly correlated with HbA1c(r=0.701,P<0.01).Linear regression analysis,using GA and HbA1c summarized by patient(n=2 532),produced a relationship of GA=2.871×HbA1c-0.112.The change in GA per increase of 1% HbA1c was 2.87%.When HbA1c level was 6.5%,the expected value of GA was 18.5%.The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,and accuracy with GA≤18.5% to predict HbA1c≤6.5% were 82.32%,72.49%,86.48%.65.73%,and 79.19%,respectively.When HbA1c level was 7.0%,the expected value of GA was 20.O%.When HbA1c level was 7.5%.the expected value of GA was 21.4%.Conclusions We initially establish the corresponding value to GA for a specific target of HbA1c and provide the basis for clinical application.
