To study on the association between the different levels of C-peptide of type 2 diabetes and colorectal adenoma and cancer risk.We detected the concentration of serum C-peptide in 45 type 2 diabetes who were diagnosed as colorectal adenoma and cancer.It showed that serum C-peptide level was higher in type 2 diabetes with colorectal adenomas and cancer than without colorectal adenomas and cancer.The serum C-peptide level may have relationship with colorectal adenomas and cancer.

Cancer has become the second largest life-threatening disease nowadays.Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are still important treatments for cancer.However, they tend to produce a lot of serious adverse effects including bone damage and bone marrow fat, etc.Based on recent research, the research progress on canonical Wnt pathway and its impact on stromal stem cells differentiation into osteoblasts and adipocytes are reviewed.Radiochemotherapy-induced bone damage and bone marrow fat is closely related to canonical Wnt pathway.In experimental assay and clinical application, Wnt pathway antagonists, such as Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1), sclerostin, and secreted frizzled-related protein 1 (sFRP-1) are used to relieve bone damage.Wnt pathway is expected to become a potential target for the therapy of bone damage and bone marrow fat induced by raidochemotherapy.

Objective To understand how resistance and whether its compensatory hyperinsulinemia will influence the ovulatory function and sex hormone level,especially in the testosterone level and blood lipid level and to observe the effects of metformin on the polycystic ovary syndrome with pseudoacanthosis nigricans and the insulin resistance.Methods The method of the research is to carry out a three-month tretment for 30 patients who were suffering from the polycystic ovary syndrome with the pseudoacanthosis nigricans and the insulin resistance.During the treatment much attention was drawn to the following aspects of the patients.Such as the body mass index,the waist hip ratio,the fasting blood glucose,the fasting insulin,two hours after postcibal blood glucose and postcibal insulin,the insulin sensitive index,the change of blood lipid and sex hormone level,and the skin lesion change.Results After the treatment,all the indexes fell except that the insulin sensitive index rose.There was significancely difference(P

The variation of blood glucose in 1 147 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was monitored by continuous glucose monitoring system(CGMS). The results showed that the peak hours of nocturnal hypoglycemia occurred during 22 : 00-2 : 00. The incidence of nocturnal hypoglycemia was negatively correlated with mean blood glucose and blood glucose at three hours after supper. The probability of hypoglycemia was up to 50% when blood glucose level had been as low as 4. 7 mmol/L at 3 h after supper.

Objective To investigate the effects of glutathione protected gold nanoclusters (GSH-Au NCs) on HeLa cytotoxity.Methods Fluorescence intensity were measured on GSH-Au NCs containing medium treated cells using fluorescence spectrophotometer at different time points.GSH-Au NCs uptake by HeLa cells at 1,2,6,12 and 24 h were investigated through fluorescent spectrophotometer.In vivo tumor uptake was also investigated on BALB/c tumor-bearing mice through inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) at 24 h after intraperitoneal injection of 0.2 ml GSH-Au NCs (3 mmol/L) and distilled water (control group) respectively.The cytotoxicity of GSH-Au NCs at different doses (0.003-0.3 mmol/L) was tested at 24 and 48 h using MTT assay after interaction with HeLa cells.Results The uptake efficiency of GSH-Au NCs by HeLa cells kept increasing and reached maximum of 73.13％ at 24 h.The results of tumor-bearing mice indicated that the tumor tissue had higher uptake efficiency after 24 h (320±15) ng/g than that of control group (intraperitoneal injection of distilled water),and the difference was stastically significant (P＜0.05).HeLa cells were treated with different concentrations of GSH-Au NCs for 24 h,and GSHAu NCs had a slight effect on cell viability.With the increase of GSH-Au NCs dose,the inhibition effects on growth of HeLa cells enhanced.The cell activity of HeLa cells treated with 0.3 mmol/L GSH-Au NCs for 24 h reduced to 86％compared with that of control group (the concentration of GSH-Au NCs was 0) (P＜0.05),while there was no significant difference between the survival rate of different concentrations of GSH-Au NCs group and the control group for 48 h.Conclusions GSH-Au NCs have neglectable cytotoxity on HeLa cells even though both in vitro and in vivo uptake are high.GSH-Au NCs are suitable for biomedical application such as imaging,drug loading and targeted drug delivery.

Objective To investigate risk factors of nocturnal hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus,to seek quantitative indicators for early warning,and to evaluate the effects of intervention.Methods 24-h blood glucose of 1147 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with well-controlled hyperglycemia were determined by continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS).Incidences of hypoglycemia were compared between groups with different 3 h postprandial blood glucose levels after supper.Results The rates of hypoglycemia,asymptomatic hypoglycemia,and nocturnal hypoglycemia were respectively 37.23％,22.75％,and 18.31％.Nocturnal hypoglycemia set in most frequently by 22:00-2:00 (RR =1.72,x2 =31.667,P＜0.01).The hypoglycemia incidence was reduced in intervention group than that in control group (9.67％ vs 16.76％,x2 =8.79,P ＜0.01).Conclusions Nocturnal hypoglycemia happens commonly in patients with type 2 diabetes.It usually sets in by 22:00-2:00.Appropriate intervention may prevent the hypoglycemic events.

Objective To study the levothyroxine doses and related factors in the treatment of pregnant women with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH).Methods Fifty-six pregnant women with SCH (diagnosed before 12 weeks of gestation) were recruited and divided into 2 groups according to the baseline TSH levels,SCH group 1 (2.5 mIU/L ≤ TSH ≤ 5.0 mIU/L,n =24) and SCH group 2 (TSH＞5.0 mIU/L,n =32).Thyroid autoantibodies [thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody(TGAb)] were detected.All the subjects were treated with levothyroxine and the doses were adjusted according to the TSH level.The therapeutic target was to keep the TSH levels under control,0.3 to 2.5 mIU/L for the first trimester and 0.3 to 3.0 mIU/L for the second and third trimesters.Results There was a positive correlation between the levothyroxine doses and baseline TSH levels (r =0.533,P＜0.01) in pregnant women with SCH.A significant difference in the levothyroxine doses between SCH group 1 and SCH group 2 was found [(0.583 ± 0.341) vs (0.961 ± 0.405) μg/kg,t =-3.695,P＜ 0.01].The levothyroxine doses in SCH group 2 were 64.84％ higher than those in group 1.There was a significant difference in the levothyroxine doses between thyroid autoantibody negative and positive subjects [(0.680 ± 0.370) vs (0.918 ±0.440) μg/kg,t =-2.197,P =0.032].The levothyroxine doses in thyroid autoantibody positive subjects were 35 ％ higher than those in the negative subjects.In addition,there was a significant difference in the levothyroxine doses between subjects with negative and positive thyroid autoantibody [(0.421 ± 0.192) vs (0.720 ± 0.385)μg/kg,t =-2.331,P =0.029] in SCH group 1.While in SCH group 2,the difference did not reach statistical significance.Conclusion The baseline TSH levels and status of thyroid autoantibodies may affect the levothyroxine dosage in pregnant women with SCH.

Subclinical hypothyroidism during pregnancy is associated with some adverse outcomes during maternal pregnancy.The present study investigated thyroid function parameters measured by electroehemiluminescence (ECL) immunoassays in subclinical hypothyroid women treated with levothyroxine (L-T4) during pregnancy.The results showed that in evaluating thyroid function with ECL immunoassays during replacement with L-T4,determination of serum TT4 appears to have a closer correlation with TSH and may better reflect the effìcacy of treatment.

Objective To investigate the relationship between thyroid hormone and uric acid (UA) and body mass index (BMI) in patients with type Ⅱ diabetes and normal thyroid function.Methods Total of 313 patients with type Ⅱ diabetes and normal thyroid function were selected.BMI,fasting blood glucose (FBG),the metabolism of blood lipid,thyroid hormones and UA indicators were examined and the correlations of thyroid hormone,BMI and UA were analyzed.Results (1) The patients were divided into two groups according to gender,and FT3,FT4,and UA of male were found to be significantly higher than those in female (P＜0.01).TSH,SBP,HDL-C in female were significantly higher than those in male (P＜0.01);(2) The patients were divided into three groups according to BMI Level.Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH),three iodine armour gland original glycine (TT3),free three iodine thyroid glycine (FT3),UA,and FBG in overweight and obesity groups were found to be higher than those in normal weight group (P ＜ 0.05);(3) The patients were divided into two groups according to the TSH level.Serum uric acid,TT3,FT3,fasting insulin in the group with TSH above 2.5 uIU/L were found to be higher than those in the group with TSH under 2.5 uIU/L (P ＜ 0.05);(4) Patients were divided into two groups according to the UA level.TSH,FT3 in male with high uric acid were found to be higher than those in male with normal uric acid (P ＜ 0.05);TSH was in female with high uric acid was found to be higher than that in female with normal uric acid (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Thyroid hormone in patients with type Ⅱ diabetes can be used to assess the body weight and uric acid,which is of great clinical importance.
