Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2015;(5):426-429
Objective To investigate the relationship of hypersensitive C reactive protein with carotid atherosclerosis and serum calcium and phosphorus in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus plus hypertension and increased homocysteine . Methods A total of 105 subjects were enrolled .Carotid intima-media thickness(CIMT) was determined by doppler ultrasound .All the participants were divided into three groups :control group (n=30 ,CIMT<0.9 mm) ,common carotid sclerosis group (n=30 ,0.9 mm≤CIMT<1.2 mm) and common carotid plaque group (n=45 ,CIMT ≥1.2 mm) .Common carotid plaque group was again divided into stable plaque subgroup (n= 20)and unstable plaque subgroup (n=25) .Serum hypersensitive C reactive protein (hsC‐RP ) , homocysteine (Hcy ) ,calcium and phosphorus levels were detected .Logistic regression was used to evaluate the risk factors for CIMT . Results The level of hsC‐RP [(16.88 ± 5.31 ) vs (11.56 ± 5.52 ) mg/L ] ,Hcy [(19.47 ± 10.18 ) vs (14.93 ± 3.41 )μmol/L] and CIMT[(0.98 ± 0.09) vs (0.93 ± 0.05) mm] were significantly higher in common carotid plaque group than in common carotid sclerosis group (P<0.05). There were no significant difference in Ca2+ [(2.24 ± 0.3) vs(2.26 ± 0.16) mmol/L] ,P3 - [(1.19 ± 0.25) vs (1.13 ± 1.14) mmol/L] between the two groups(P>0.05).The levels of lipoproteins (LP) and HbA1 c were significantly higher in common carotid sclerosis group and common carotid plaque group than in the control group (P<0.05).The TC was higher in common carotid plaque group than in the control group[(4.32 ± 1.10) vs (3.69 ± 0.67)mmol/L , P<0.05].Pearson correlation analysis showed than CIM T was positively associated with hsC‐RP and Hcy (r=0.560 ,0.452 ,P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that CIMT is independently associated with hsC‐RP and Hcy(OR=1.501 ,1.523 ,P<0.01). Conclusion The levels of serum hsC‐RP and Hcy were not only independent risk factors for carotid artery atherosclerosis but also related to the stability of atherosclerosis plaque in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with hypertension .

Cancer Research and Clinic 2008;20(9):580-583
Objective To investigate the association between the expression of RASSF1A and Survivin proteins and clinicopathological characteristics in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and their clinical significance. Methods Expression of RASSF1A and Survivin proteins in the NSCLC tissue microarrays was detected by S-P Immunohistochemistry. Results The positive expression of RASSF1A in NSCLC (46.8 %) was significantly lower than that of in the normal lung tissues (92.9 %) (P < 0.001), but the positive expression of Survivin in NSCLC (78.5 %) was significantly higher than that of in the normal lung tissues (0%) (P<0.001). The percentage of RASSFI A protein expression in the stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅱ of NSCLC was evidently higher than that of in the stage Ⅲ (P<0.001, respectively), however, the percentage of Survivin protein expression in the stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅱ of NSCLC was significantly lower than that of in the stage Ⅲ (P=0.003, P=0.001). The percentage of RASSF1A in NSCLC with lymph node metastasis was observably lower than that of in cases without lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). Furthermore, there was observably negative correlation between expression of RASSF1A protein and that of Survivin protein in NSCLC (r=-0.780, P<0.001). Conclusion The loss expression of RASSF1A protein, over expression of Survivin protein and loss balance of expression of both RASSF1A and Survivin proteins in NSCLC might play important roles in the development and progression of NSCLC; RASSF1A and Survivin proteins might be acted as one helpful molecular marker to predict the lymph node metastasis and the prognosis of NSCLC.

Objective:To identify differences in association among visceral fat, body mass index, and waist circumference in Hans and Tibetans, and to investigate the associations between visceral adipose tissue and adipokine concentrations in the two ethnics.Methods:This is a mono-centric, cross-sectional observational study including 148 Hans and 150 Tibetans between 18 and 65 years old. The multivariate regression analysis was used in the study.Results:After adjustment of confounders, every 1 kg/m 2 increment of body mass index was coexisted with a larger increment of visceral adipose tissue in Han ethnic group than that in Tibetan [ β: 6.87(95% CI 4.25-9.49) vs 4.84(95% CI 2.57-7.11), P<0.01]. And increased waist circumference with 1 cm was accompanied by larger increment of visceral adipose tissue in Hans than in Tibetans [ β: 4.02(95% CI 3.15-4.89) vs 2.06(95% CI 1.75-3.44), P<0.01]. Tibetan ethnic group had higher levels of adiponectin and leptin than Han ethnic group [(57.06±32.52 vs 75.56±43.95) ng/ml, P<0.01; (98.55±100.46 vs 124.83±111.97) pg/ml, P=0.024]. After adjustment, significant association was documented between adiponectin levels and the presence of metabolic syndrome in Tibetans ( OR=0.97, 95% CI 0.95-0.99, P=0.007), whereas no association was observed in Hans ( OR=0.99, 95% CI 0.98-1.01, P=0.268). Conclusions:The ethnicity significantly affects the adipose distribution, with the same increase of body mass index or waist circumference, the Tibetans′ increase of visceral adipose tissue is less than that of Hans. The two ethnic groups may have their own unique metabolic characteristics.
