Objective:To investigate the relationship between mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and body mass index (BMI) in older adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:A total of 327 patients with T2DM who received treatment in Wuyunshan Sanatorium from January 2016 to May 2019 were included in the T2DM group. Patients in theT2DM group were subdivided into an MCI group ( n = 73) and a non-MCI group ( n = 254) according to whether they had MCI. An additional 100 older adult volunteers who concurrently received physical examination were included in the control group. Sex, age, years of education, monthly family income, body mass index, living habits (drinking, smoking) and laboratory indexes were compared among the groups. The influential factors of MCI in patients with T2DM were analyzed by logistic regression model. The predictive value of BMI for MCI in older adult patients with T2DM was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results:Age, monthly family income, the proportion of patients with a history of diabetes mellitus, BMI, fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the T2DM group were (73.10 ± 9.56) years old, 8 926 yuan RMB, 189/327, (24.18 ± 2.64) kg/m 2, (6.96 ± 0.88) mmol/L, (7.10 ± 0.84)%, (7.32 ± 0.84) mmol/L, respectively, which were higher than those in the control group [(68.28 ± 8.21) years old, 6 715 yuan RMB, 13/100, (22.30 ± 1.74) kg/m 2, (4.51 ± 0.72) mmol/L, (5.62 ± 0.68)%, (7.04 ± 0.67) mmol/L, t = 4.554, χ2 = 18.601, 61.654, t = 6.668, t = 25.360, 16.077, 3.049, all P < 0.05]. In the MCI group, the proportion of patients having a monthly family income < 5 000 yuan RMB, the proportion of patients having a history of diabetes mellitus, BMI, HbA1c value were 29/73, 60/73, (24.92 ± 2.43) kg/m 2, (7.54 ± 0.88)%, respectively , while they were 70/254, 129/254, (23.77 ± 2.59) kg/m 2, (6.92 ± 0.81)%, respectively in the non-MCI group. There were significant differences in these indexes between MCI and non-MCI groups ( χ2 = 6.144, 22.927, t = 3.389, 5.652, all P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI and HbA1c were the influential factors of MCI complicated by T2DM in older adult patients ( OR = 0.274, 0.192, both P < 0.05). Monthly family income and family history of diabetes mellitus were not closely related to the development of MCI in older adult patients with T2DM ( OR = - 0.154, 0.093, both P > 0.05). The ROC curve revealed that when BMI value was 24.49 kg/m 2, Youden index was the largest (0.510), the corresponding sensitivity was 83.86%, and the specificity was 67.12%. The area under the ROC curve was 0.766 [95% CI (0.699 - 0.832)]. Conclusion:BMI is an influential factor of MCI development in older adult patients with T2DM, and may be one of the important indicators for early prediction of MCI.

Objective:To explore the regulatory effect of glutathione S-transferase P1(GSTP1) on the radiosensitivity of mouse Lewis lung cancer (LLC) cells.Methods:GSTP1-shRNA lentivirus and negative control lentivirus were used to respectively infect the LLC cells, and stable transgenic strains were selected. Real-time PCR and Western blot were conducted to quantitatively measure the expression levels of GSTP1 mRNA and protein in the LLC cells to verify the knockdown effect. The cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assay was used to detect cell viability after irradiation. The colony formation assay was utilized to assess the cell proliferation ability after irradiation. Flow cytometry was performed to assess the level of cell apoptosis after irradiation. The tumor-bearing mice were established and irradiated to detect the changes in the tumor volume after irradiation. TUNEL staining was employed to detect the level of tumor apoptosis after irradiation. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the number of CD 4+ CD 8+ T cells in the tumor after irradiation. Results:Real-time PCR and Western blot showed that after shRNA lentivirus interference, the expression levels of GSTP1 mRNA and protein were significantly down-regulated. Down-regulation of GSTP1 reduced cell viability and proliferation, and increased the rate of cell apoptosis after irradiation. The tumor volume of the tumor-bearing mice after irradiation in the GSTP1 knockdown group was significantly smaller than that in the NC group, whereas the tumor apoptosis rate was significantly higher and the number of infiltrating CD 4+ CD 8+ T cells in the tumor was remarkably higher compared with those in the control group. Conclusion:Knockdown of GSTP1 can significantly increase the radiosensitivity of LLC cells and enhance the infiltration of lymphocytes in tumor tissues.

Objective:
To investigate the prevalence and association of hyperuricemia (HUA) and hypertriglyceridemic Waist (HTW) phenotype in children and adolescents aged 6-17 years in Inner Mongolia, providing a basis for the prevention and treatment of hyperuricemia in adolescents in Inner Mongolia.
Methods:
A total of 2 175 students of primary, junior high, and senior high school students from eight counties (districts) in Inner Mongolia were chosen and received a questionnaire survey, physical examination, and laboratory test by used a multi stage stratified random sampling approach. The association between the HTW phenotype and HUA was analyzed using binary Logistic regression.
Results:
The prevalence of the HTW phenotype was 2.1%, with boys(2.5%) higher than that of girls(1.6%) ( χ 2=14.50, P<0.05). The average SUA level of the participants was 308.00 (259.00, 371.00) mmol/L, with a statistically significant sex difference(Z=-9.87, P<0.05). The prevalence of HUA was 21.1%. The frequency of HUA in the HTW phenotype(44.4%) was higher than in other phenotypes, followed by enlarged waist (EW) phenotype. After controlling for associated variables, the EW phenotypes (OR=1.76,95%CI=1.26-2.47) and HTW phenotypes (OR=2.25, 95%CI=1.12-4.52) were associated with higher risk for HUA(P<0.05).
Conclusion
In Inner Mongolia, the prevalence of HUA in children and adolescents aged 6-17 years is high, and there shows a positive association between the HTW phenotype and hyperuricemia. For the prevention of hyperuricemia, more attention should be paid to children and adolescents with HTW phenotype.

Objective:
To explore the correlation between serum vitamin D level and glucose and lipid metabolism among primary and middle school students in Inner Mongolia, so as to providing a scientific basis for guiding rational vitamin D supplementation among primary and middle school students in Inner Mongolia Region.
Methods:
A total of 2 206 students of primary and middle school students from 8 counties (districts) in Inner Mongolia were enrolled for a questionnaire survey, physical examination, and laboratory test by a multi stage stratified random sampling approach.The levels of fasting blood glucose, blood lipid and other related indexes with different vitamin D levels were analyzed, and their correlation was further discussed.
Results:
The deficiency and insufficiency rates of vitamin D among primary and middle school students were 33.2% and 42.8%, respectively, and the suitable rate was 24.0%. The body mass index (BMI) and waist height ratio (WHtR) of the vitamin D deficiency group [(22.87±7.41) kg/m 2 , 0.46±0.08)]were higher than the insufficiency [(20.59±8.00)kg/m 2, 0.44±0.09)] and suitable group [(18.01±7.38)kg/m 2, 0.43 ±0.08)] ( P <0.05). Compared with the vitamin D suitable group [(3.87±0.85) mmol/L], the total cholesterol (TC) level in the deficiency group [(3.73±0.67)mmol/L] decreased, with a statistically significant difference ( P <0.05). The levels of high density lipoproteins (HDL) in the vitamin D insufficiency[(1.40±0.33)mmol/L] and deficiency groups [(1.34±0.31)mmol/L] were lower than the suitable group [(1.48±0.34)mmol/L], with a statistically significant difference ( P <0.05). The detection rate of hyperuricemia (HUA) in the vitamin D deficiency group (22.95%) was higher than the suitable group (17.20%), with a statistically significant difference ( P <0.016 7). Pearson correlation analysis showed that vitamin D was negatively correlated with BMI and WHtR ( r =-0.23, -0.11), and positively correlated with TC and HDL level ( r =0.06, 0.16) ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
The deficiency and insufficiency rates of serum vitamin D among primary and middle school students in Inner Mongolia are high which are associated with several indicators of blood lipids. Therefore, it is recommended to supplement vitamin D preparations in moderation in daily life.
