Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2016;24(7):610-613
Objective To investigate the combined detection of serum cystatin C (Cys‐C ) and homocysteine (Hcy) for the diagnosis of early renal damage in diabetic children. Methods Data of 97 cases of diabetic children were collected in our hospital. According to the levels of 24 hUAER ,diabetic children were divided into <30 mg group (n=34) ,30~299 mg group (n=42) ,and ≥300 mg group (n=21). 40 cases of healthy children were selected as control group (NC). Laboratory indexes were compared among different groups. The critical values of Cys‐C and Hcy in early diagnosis of renal damage were calculated by receiver operating curve (ROC). Results The levels of Cys‐C and Hcy in <30 mg group were significantly higher than in NC group [Cys‐C (1.04 ± 0.26 ) vs(0.79 ± 0.21 ) mg/L ,Hcy (13.09 ± 2.15) vs(8.57 ± 1.24)μmol/L ,respectively ,P< 0.05]. When Cys‐C cutoff point took 1.02 mg/L ,the diagnosis sensitivity for diabetic nephropathy diagnosis was 86.09% and the specificity was 83.28% ,the maximum diagnostic index reached 1.6937 ,ROC area under the curve was 0.841.When Hcy threshold took 13.00 μmol/L ,the sensitivity was 83.98% and the specificity was 79.24% ,with the maximum diagnostic index 1.6322 and ROC area 0.795.Cys‐C combined with Hcy had a sensitivity of 92.38% and a specificity of 89.17% ,with the maximum diagnostic index 1.764 and ROC area 0.928. Conclusion Cys‐C combined with Hcy detection for early diagnosis of renal injury in diabetic children has important clinical value.

Aim To evaluate the effects of ferulic acid ( FA ) on lipopolysaccharide ( LPS )-induced neuroin-flammation in microglia cells and its potential mecha-nisms. Methods Microglial activation was induced by stimulation with LPS, and the effects of FA pretreat-ment on microglial activation and production of proin-flammatory mediators, nitric oxide/iNOS were investi-gated. The role of the mitogen-activated protein kinases in the antiinflammatory actions of FA in LPS-stimulated microglia was further elucidated. Results Cell viabil-ity experiments revealed that FA did not produce cyto-toxicity in microglia. FA significantly inhibited LPS-in-duced production of tumour necrosis factor-alpha ( TNF-α) , interleukin-6 ( IL-6 ) , interleukin-1 beta ( IL-1β) , and nitric oxide ( NO ) . Protein and mRNA levels of COX-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase ( iNOS) were also attenuated by FA. Further experi-ments on intracellular signalling mechanisms showed that inhibition of extracellular regulated kinase ( ERK) contributed to the anti-neuroinflammatory actions of FA. Conclusion The results suggest that FA inhibits LPS-induced microglial inflammation by partial targe-ting of ERK signalling and attenuation of ERK.

To explore the patterns and ideas of medical cooperation between Beijing and Hebei Chinese Medicine hospitals under the background of the integration of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei regions. By searching the 2015 China statistical yearbook for health, a survey was conducted among doctors and patients in a Hebei hospital, which is cooperate with the Beijing hospital. We found that Beijing-Tianjin regional medical resources were imbalanced, and Hebei medical resources were insufficient, and patients and doctors were satisfied with the cooperation. There are still some difficulties in Chinese medicine hospital of Beijing and Tianjin cooperation, and many departments need to work together to promote Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei rational allocation of medical resources.
