Objective To explore the interaction of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion(I/D) polymorphism(rs1799752)with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) development as well as its interaction with smoking and obesity in Chinese type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) using the improved experiment method. Methods From June 2016 to March 2018, 300 T2DM patients with DKD [DKD(+)] and 300 T2DM patients without DKD[DKD(-)] were selected from China-Japan Friendship Hospital. The improved Triple Primer Method that combined PCR with capillary electrophoresis was established in this study to detect the ACE genotype. The relevant clinical data as well as the frequencies of genotype and allele of ACE gene I/D polymorphism between two groups were statistically analyzed. Patients were further grouped based on smoking status and obesity for multivariate regression. Results Frequency of the DD genotype and D allele were significantly higher in DKD(+) group than in DKD(-) group [DD genotype:15.0% (45 cases) vs 7.3%(22 cases),χ2=10.8, P=0.004;D allele:36.5%(219 cases) vs 28.0%(168 cases),χ2=9.92, P=0.02]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis found that D allele of rs1799752 was associated with a significantly higher risk of DKD in both recessive model(OR=1.45, 95%CI:1.06-2.00, P=0.022 after adjustments) and additive model(OR=1.41, 95%CI:1.04-1.90, P=0.025 after adjustments). In the smoker group and the obese group, D allele showed significant relationship with DKD incidence (P<0.05 after adjustments) in both recessive model and dominant model. No such relationships were observed in non-smoker group and non-obese group (P>0.05). Conclusions I/D polymorphism of ACE gene is associated with the incidence of DKD in T2DM patients. DD genotype of the ACE gene is the risk factor for T2DM patients with DKD. D allele may increase DKD incidence in the presence of smoking and obesity.

Multi-disciplinary team(MDT) is a new mode of medical diagnosis and treatment service. Multidisciplinary discussion could provide patients with a scientific, standardized and effective individualized diagnosis and treatment plan to avoid over-treatment. This article is based on the application experience of the MDT information management platform designed by the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University during the past five years. It discussed how to build a MDT management system which could fit the medical environment of large general hospitals in China. The MDT management system simplifies the MDT process, improves the efficiency of MDT work, and enhances the overall medical quality of hospitals. Meanwhile, it also contributes to strengthen the disciplinary collaboration in such aspects as disease diagnosis and treatment, personnel training, and scientific research innovation, ultimately forming a new multi-disciplinary collaboration system in hospitals.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study was to investigate the impact of fluvas-tatin formulation on the pharmacokinetics-genetic polymorphis relationship. METHODS We compared the difference between the pharmacokinetics of fluvastatin as an extended-release (ER) 80 mg tablet and an immediate-release(IR)40 mg capsule in terms of drug metabolism enzyme and transporter ge-netic polymorphisms. In this open-label, randomized, two-period, two-treatment, crossover study, ef-fects of BCRP, SLCO1B1, MDR1, CYP2C9, and CYP3A5 polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics of fluvastatin were analyzed in 24 healthy individuals.Each treatment duration was 7 days with a washout period of 7 days between the crossover.Serum concentration of fluvastatin was evaluated using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS The SLCO1B1 T521C genotype had no statistically significant effect on IR 40 mg capsule of fluvastatinafter single or repeated doses.However,for the ER 80 mg tablet,the SLCO1B1 T521C genotype correlated with the AUC0-24of repeat doses (P=0.01). The CYP2C9*3 genotype correlated with the AUC0- 24after the first dose IR 40 mg capsule (P<0.05); however, the difference between CYP2C9*1/*1 and CYP2C9*1/*3 was not statistically significant after repeated doses. CONCLUSION The effect of SLCO1B1 T521C on fluvas-tatin exposure was observed and was more profound in ER and repeated dose administration than in IR and single dose administration.We recommend that formulation should be incorporated into future pharmacogenomics studies and clinical implication guidelines.
