Objective To investigate the incidence and the risk factors of anxiety or depression and in the first degree relatives (FDRs) of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM ). Methods A total of 102 T2DM patients who visited our hospital from May to July 2010 and their FDRs completed SAS,SDS,and life satisfaction evaluation. The medical history of T2DM patients was collected and compared with their FDRs with or without mental disorders. The correlations of risk factors with anxiety or depression were analyzed, t test or X2 test were used for statistical analysis and a P value less than 0. 05 was considered statistically significant. Results The incidence of anxiety or depression of FDRs was 31.4% and 17.6%,respectively. The life satisfaction score of FDRs with mental disorders was significantly decreased ( t = 4. 26 and 4. 09, P＜0. 05 ). Fasting glucose level of T2DM patients with anxious or depressive FDRs was significantly increased ( t = -2. 48 and -2. 15, P＜0. 05 ). Higher medical cost and multiple treatment strategies were positively correlated with SAS and SDS score of the FDRs. Conclusion Higher incidence of mental disorders and lower satisfaction scores could be found in the FDRs of T2DM patients. Better control of blood glucose and reduced treatment cost and strategies may be useful in improving metal condition and life satisfaction of the FDRs of T2DM patients.

Objective To evaluate biochemical characteristics and the trend of diabetic complications in patients with newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes from 1994 to 2008. Methods We utilized the database of the diabetes complications assessment and analyzed the metabolic disorder and the diabetic complications in the patients with newly diagnosed diabetes. Results 2 085 cases were collected, including 1189 males and 896 females. The average age of onset of diabetes was 51.6±13.1 and 54.6±7.9 yrs respectively in 2008 and 1994. During 1994,no case was found in subjects aged 20-29 yrs and 5% of the patients were aged 30-39; but 2% of patients aged 20-29 and 16% aged 30-39 yrs were found in 2008. BMI was increased from 24.48±4.15 in 1994 to 26.03±3.63 in 2008. Percentage of patients with abnormal BMI ( ≥25 kg/m2 ), WHR [≥0.90 (male) or ≥0.85 (female)]increased significantly from 63.6%, 75.0%, and 71.4% in 1994 to 79.6%, 95.2%, and 93.8% in 2008,respectively. Both SBP and DBP were not significantly changed. The fasting blood and postprandial blood glucose,HbA1c decreased from 10.3 mmol/L, 15.2 mmol/L, 11.1% in 1994 to 9.0 mmol/L, 14.3 mmol/L, and 8.6% in 2008, respectively. The average TG level increased from 1.7 mmol/L in 1994 to 2. 1 mmol/L in 2008,however, TC and HDL level were not significantly changed. The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy decreased from 28.2% in 1994 to 3.9% in 2008. The prevalence of diabetic nephropathy increased from 17.7% in 1994 to 24.6% in 2008. The prevalence of diabetic cardiovascular disease increased from 14.3% in 1994 to 24. 1% in 2008. Compared with the patients without microvascular complications, the patients with microvascular complications had higher SBP, DBP, and HbA1c( 136/78 vs 130/77 mm Hg, 9.41% vs 9.11% ). The patients with macrovascular complications had older age, higher SBP, TC, and TG than those without macrovascular complications (53.4 vs 50.0 yrs; 132 vs 129 mm Hg ; 5.3 vs 5.1 mmol/L and 2.6 vs 2.1 mmol/L). Conclusions In the studied newly-diagnosed diabetic patients from 1994 to 2008, there were increasing incidences of obesity and hypertriglyceridemia. However, the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy decreased significantly, while that of nephropathy showed no significant change.Cardiovascular complications were markedly increased.

Mixed epithelial and stromal tumors of the kidney (MESTK) are very rare in male kidney tumors. One case was reported in this article. The patient accidentally discovered a renal space occupying lesion during physical examination and underwent laparoscopic radical left nephrectomy. The postoperative pathological results were reported as MESKT, with immunohistochemical staining of ER (+ ), PR (+ ), SMA (+ ). After a follow-up of 4 months, the results showed that the patient had no signs of tumor recurrence or related complications.
