ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between glucose excursions and oxidative stress in the elderly type 2 diabetic patients. MethodsFifty five elderly type 2 diabetic patients (32 males and 23 females) were recruited. All the patients were submitted to continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) for three days. According to the result of CGMS monitoring ,the patients were divided into two groups: high glucose excursion group (30 cases) and low glucose excursion group (25 cases). In high glucose excursion group, the therapy was adjusted for 4 weeks based on the CGMS monitoring. After the treatments, the specimens of blood were collected again to detect the related indexes. Results(1) There were no differences in age, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin between the two groups (all P>0.05). The stardard deviation of blood glucose was higher, and the maximun and average amplitude of glycemic excursion were significantly lower in high glucose excursion group than in low glucose excursion group (t= 5. 4620,5. 9416,3. 8281, all P<0.05) ;(2) Compared with low glucose excursion group, plasma concentration of 8-iso-PGF2a was obviously higher in high glucose excursion group[(57.56 ± 3.86)ng/L vs.(34. 21±3. 82) ng/L, t= 18. 221, P=0. 0000)] . (3) Stepwise regression analysis showed that the standard deviation of blood glucose was involved in regression model (β= 1. 959, P= 0. 013).ConclusionsIn elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, glucose excursion is related with oxidation stress, which suggests that the glucose excursion may be the risk factor for oxidation stress.

Objective: To investigate the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1)on high glucose-induced apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and the mechanism involved. Methods: HUVECs were cultured under varying conditions for 48 h, and the cell viability was spectrophotometrically measured by MTT assay. Flow cytometry detected the ratio of cell apoptosis. Western blot detected the protein levels of p-Akt and p-eNOS, while NO assay kit detected the NO concentration.
Results: Treatment of high glucose (33 mmol/L) for 48 h signiifcantly decreased the HUVECs viability and induced the apoptosis of HUVECs, concomitant with decreased Akt and eNOS phosphorylation leves and subsequent NO production. Treatment with GLP-1 (3 nmol/L) for 48 h in the high glucose group increased the HUVECs viability (P<0.01), decreased the ratio of HUVECs early apoptosis (P<0.05), ameliorated the reduced protein levels of p-Akt and p-eNOS caused by high glucose, and increased the NO production (P<0.05). The anti-apoptotic effect and the increased NO production of GLP-1were inhibited by PI3K inhibitor wortmannine (100 nmol/L) or eNOS inhibitor L-NAME (100μmol/L). The effect on p-Akt, p-eNOS of GLP-1 was inhibited by wortmannine (100 nmol/L) while L-NAME (100μmol/L) did not have any influence on the expression of p-Akt.
Conclusion: GLP-1 can ameliorate high glucose-induced HUVECs apoptosis, which is probably related to the up-regulation of PI3K/Akt/eNOS pathway.
