Objective To study the relationship between serum cystatin C(Cys C)level and the development of insulin resistance(IR)in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods A cross-sectional survey research involving 757 elderly patients with T2DM was performed and patients were divided into groups according to Cys C and IR levels.Serum 1evels of fasting insulin (FBI),fasting blood glucose(FPG),fasting C-peptide (FCP),glycosylated hemoglobin A1 c (H bA1 c),homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (IR) (HOMA2 IR-C),homeostasis model assessment of insulin secretion,homeostasis model assessment of insulin sensitivity(HOMA2-％ S-C),micro-albuminuria(mALB)and serum lipid were measured and compared among the groups.Possible influence factors were adjusted,and the correlation between Cys C levels and IR was analyzed.The influencing factors on IR were also analyzed.Results There were statistically significant differences in ages,course of T2 DM,FBI,FCP,HbA1c,urinary mALB,IR,insulin secretion,insulin sensitivity,morbidity rate of coronary heart disease,hypertension and diabetic nephropathy among the three groups(allP＜0.05).Insulin sensitivity was decreased with the increase of Cys C level,while others were increased.Among 757 patients,the level of serum Cys C was positively correlated with FCP,HOMA2-IR C levels,and was negatively correlated with HOMA2-％ S-C levels(P＜0.05).Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the higher level of Cys C was independent risk factors for IR in elderly T2DM patients(OR=3.41,95％CI:2.22-5.22,P＜0.05).Conclusions Serum Cys C level is closely related with IR in elderly T2DM,and the elevated level of serum Cys C is one of independent risk factors for elderly T2DM.

Objective To investigate the imaging performance and feasibility of 99Tcm labeled scFv against VCAM-1(99Tcm-scFv-VCAM-1) on atherosclerosis model rabbits.Methods HYNIC was used as a chelator for 99Tcm labeling.The labeling efficiency and radiochemical purity of 99Tcm-scFv-VCAM-1 were measured by instant thin layer chromatography after PD-10 purification.New Zealand white rabbits were employed for establishing atherosclerotic animal models by endothelia immunity injury and high fat diet, and plaques at aorta lesions were examined by HE staining.Model rabbits were sacrificed after administration of 99Tcm-scFv-VCAM-1 at 1 or 2 h respectively, and tissue samples were measured with gamma counter and weighted to obtain in vivo biodistribution data.Planar imaging was performed 1 and 2 h after the injection of 99Tcm-scFv-VCAM-1 to investigate radioactivity of abdominal aorta.After imaging study, atherosclerosis plaque and VCAM-1 expression at aortas were confirmed by the immunohistochemistry (IHC) study.Two-sample t test was used to analyze data.Results 99Tcm-scFv-VCAM-1 was successfully synthesized.Its labeling efficiency was 75%-83%, radiochemistry purity was (98.54±1.03)% and specific activity was 216 MBq/nmol.Atherosclerosis plaque was confirmed at the aortas of experimental rabbits by HE staining, while no plaque was observed in controls.Biodistribution data indicated that the tracer was cleared mainly through the kidneys.Planar imaging showed that the tracer uptake in abdominal aorta of model rabbits was higher than that of control rabbits, the T/B ratios at 2 h of the model group and control group were statistically different (3.68±0.73 vs 2.42±0.39;t=2.950, P<0.05;n=5).Atherosclerosis plaque and high level of VCAM-1 expression were observed at aortas of model rabbits by IHC study.Conclusions It is feasible and effective to detect vulnerable plaques using 99Tcm-scFv-VCAM-1.It may provide a promising way for early diagnosis and accurate evaluation of atherosclerosis.

Objective To determine the impact of uric acid changes on kidney function in middle-aged and elderly women with normal renal function.Methods Serum uric acid and estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) were studied by prospective cohort analysis in 1152 middle-aged and elderly Dalian women with serum uric acid<7 mg/dl, estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)≥90 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1, and age>45 years old.Results The analysis of variance (ANOVA) of clinical indices between baseline and follow-up data showed that an eGFR was decreased after three years in both middle-aged and elderly women even with normal serum uric acid.Compared with those in the lowest guartile subgroup, a significant drop of eGFR to less than 90 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1 was seen in those with the highest guartile of baseline serum uric acid group (OR=1.707, 95%CI 1.192-2.443, P=0.003).Furthermore, there were positive correlations between changes in the levels of serum uric acid and eGFR, and linear regression analysis showed that, as the change level of serum uric acid increased, the change level of eGFR declined(β=1.562, 95%CI 1.050-2.075, P<0.01], and the changing degree of uric acid increase is independent risk factors refor eGFR reductions.Conclusion Reduction in eGFR level is inversely related to serum uric acid in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.However, our study showed that, women with serum uric acid level ranging from normal, slight increase, and relatively high levels, the increasing degrees of uric acid are independent risk factors responsible for the changing degree of eGFR reduction.

Objective To prepare a new-type acellular dermal matrix (ADM) and research on its relevant performance,which would provide theoretical evidence for clinical application.Methods Skin of Bama suckling pig was taken as resource of skin,and technologies of physics,chemistry and biology were selected to prepare new-type ADM.To detect the external structure,physical and chemical property as well as biological property of the prepared new-type ADM,hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining observation,scanning electron microscope observation,amino acid analysis,material porosity and hydrophilicity test,tensile strength and in vitro degradation experiment,cytotoxicity test,and animal experiment have been conducted.Results New-type ADM cells have been thoroughly removed and dermal matrix remains intact with collagen content of 95.55％,connective three-dimensional pore structure,(85.03 ± O.99) ％ of porosity,(24.56 ± 0.57) ° of contact angle implying new-type ADM was hydrophilic substance,(5.48 ± 0.44) Pa of tensile strength implying its moderate level of pulling force,in vitro degradation period reduced to (28.7 ± O.76) h,and ＞75％ relative growth rate (RGR).Cells grew and proliferated on new-type ADM and could be replaced by original tissue after degradation.Conclusions New-type ADM have overcome disadvantages of traditional preparation method in sabotaging dermal matrix structure and incompletely removing cells from matrix,which is qualified with higher level of collagen content and porosity.With improved biological property,greatly reduced inflammation immunoreactions,and accelerated degradation rate,new-type ADM is of higher level of clinical application value.

Objective To assess the characteristic of left ventricular systolic longitudinal strain(SL) in healthy children and its relationship with age by speckle tracking imaging(STI). Methods One hundred and thirty healthy children were divided into 5 groups: classing 0 to 3 years old children together as group A,and 3 to 5 years old as group B,6 to 9 years old as group C,10 to 12 years old as group D,13 to 18 years old as group E. SL of left ventricular wall during the systole was measured. Results ①The apical SL of left ventricular wall during the systole was larger than the middle one and the basal one. Significant differences were found between apical and basal segments in group A. The apical segments of posterior wall, inferior wall ,lateral wall and ventricular septum presented significant differences with the basal one in group D. Significant difference was found between apical segments of the posterior ventricular septum and the basal one in group E. ②These parameters of the five groups trend to decrease as well as the growth of age . Compared with group D and E,SL of left ventricular wall during the systole were significantly increased in group A except anterior wall,and SL of left ventricular wall during the systole were significantly increased in group B except apical segments of the posterior wall and apical segments of the anterior ventricular septum. ③The intra-observer and inter-observer variabilities were 2.0% and 2.5% for SL measured by STI in two chamber view,1.9% and 2.3% SL in three chamber view, and 2.1% and 2. 8% in four chamber view. Conclusions The parameters of strain were not similar in left ventricular different walls and segments,and there is some relationship between SL and increasing-age.

Objective:To explore the correlation between dietary N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) intake and chronic inflammation state of body.Methods:A total of 306 samples of 102 types of food were purchased from a supermarket in Xiamen in September 2019, including grains, meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, beans, dairy products, vegetables and fruits. The content of Neu5Gc in food was determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. A total of 500 healthy freshmen from Xiamen University were selected by using a simple random sampling method. The food frequency questionnaire was used to investigate the food intake in the past year. The food intake was corrected by 3 consecutive 24-hour recalls, and the amount of Neu5Gc intake was calculated. The concentration of anti-Neu5Gc antibody, C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in serum was detected. Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between Neu5Gc intake and anti-Neu5Gc antibody, CRP and IL-6 levels.Results:Neu5Gc was mainly found in red meat and liquid dairy products. The contents of Neu5Gc in beef, lamb and pork were (30.32±2.84), (20.39±4.73) and (5.58±1.04) mg/kg, respectively, and in liquid milk and yogurt were (10.87±1.54) and (6.91±0.24) mg/L, respectively. The M ( P25, P75) intake of Neu5Gc for all participants was 4.62 (2.20, 8.60) mg/d. The M( P25, P75) intake of Neu5Gc for males about 6.60(2.83, 10.20) was higher than that for females about [3.84 (1.84, 6.35) mg/d] ( P<0.001). The M ( P25, P75) of serum anti-Neu5Gc, CRP and IL-6 levels were 3.07 (2.17, 4.14) μg/ml, 0.37 (0.22, 0.87) mg/ml and 61.82 (12.23, 315.30) pg/ml, respectively. Spearman correlation analysis showed that the intake level of Neu5Gc was positively correlated with serum anti-Neu5Gc antibody, CRP and IL-6 levels, with r s values about 0.222, 0.102 and 0.126, respectively (all P values <0.05). Conclusion:Dietary Neu5Gc intake is mainly from red meat and liquid dairy products, and its intake level is positively correlated with chronic inflammatory state of body.
