BACKGROUND:
It remains unclear whether circulating malondialdehyde (MDA) levels change in people with diabetic retinopathy (DR). This systematic review compared circulating MDA levels in diabetic people with and without DR.
METHODS:
PubMed, Medline (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), and Web of Science were searched for case-control studies conducted before May 2022 in English that compared circulating MDA levels in people with and without DR. The following MeSH search terms were used: ("malondialdehyde" or "thiobarbituric acid reactive substances [TBARS]" or "lipid peroxidation" or "oxidative stress") and "diabetic retinopathy." Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies. Random-effects pairwise meta-analysis pooled the effect size with standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
RESULTS:
This meta-analysis included 29 case-control studies with 1680 people with DR and 1799 people with diabetes but not DR. Compared to people without DR, the circulating MDA levels were higher in those with DR (SMD, 0.897; 95% CI, 0.631 to 1.162; P < 0.001). The study did not identify credible subgroup effects or publication bias and the sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of the study.
CONCLUSIONS:
Circulating MDA levels are higher in people with DR compared to those without. Future comparative studies that use more specific methods are required to draw firm conclusions.

Objectives:
To explore the association between the polymorphism of persistent obesity and genetic variations in the LEP (human leptin gene, LEP) and LEPR (leptin receptor gene, LEPR) genes and different molecular subtypes of breast cancer.
Methods:
All 703 female patients of breast cancer diagnosed by histopathology in the Sichuan Cancer Hospital or the West China Hospital, excluding patients with metastatic breast cancer or mental disease, were selected as cases from April 2014 to May 2015. At the same time, 805 healthy women received physical examination in medical examination center of Sichuan People Hospital or Shuangliu maternal and child health care hospital, excluding those with therioma, breast disease, and mental disease, were enrolled in control group. A uniform questionnaire was used to collect general information including demographic characteristic, reproductive history height, weight, and so on. And the obesity status in recent 10 years was judged. Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer was used to determine the genotypes of LEP rs7799039, LEPR rs1137100 and LEPR rs1137101, while the multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to estimate the effect of risk factors related to breast cancer in different molecular subtypes; and then, the association between polymorphism of persistent obesity, the LEP, LEPR genes and breast cancer of different molecular subtypes was analyzed by binary logistic regression models.
Results:
The average age of controls was (48.98±8.83) years old, while the age of cases of TNBC, Luminal A, Luminal B, and HER-2+ were (51.43±11.33), (49.94±10.10), (49.73±9.38), (50.50±9.04) years old, respectively. The frequency of genotype LEP rs7799039, LEPR rs1137100 and LEPR rs1137101 in control group was separately 74.8%(1 157/1 546), 83.6%(1 339/1 602) and 88.4%(1 416/1 602); while 77.6% (1 074/1 384), 82.4% (1 155/1 402) and 87.9% (1 232/1 402) respectively in case group. Compared with non-persistent obesity subjects, the persistent obesity ones showed an increased risk in TNBC (
5.PPD results after 3-6 years of BCG vaccination and its effect on latent tuberculosis infection in children
Chinese Journal of School Health 2019;40(9):1366-1368
Objective:
To understand the results of tuberculin skin test (PPD) in preschool children after the vaccination of BCG, and to analyze the effect of BCG vaccination on latent tuberculosis infection in children.
Methods:
From January to November 2018, a total of 1 359 preschool children from 14 kindergartens in 8 districts and cities of Jiangsu Province were selected for tuberculin test(PPD), and chest X-ray examination was performed on children with strong PPD results.
Results:
The positive rate of PPD in preschool children in Jiangsu Province was 23.33%, of which strong positive and moderate positive (PPD≥10 mm) were totaled 6.47%. There were 149 boys (21.29%) with PPD positive reactions and 168 girls(25.50%) with PPD positive reactions, and differences of PPD positive reactions with different genders were of no statistical significance (χ2=3.36, P>0.05) And there were 201 children (25.35%) with PPD positive reactions in northern Jiangsu, 116 children (20.50%) with PPD positive reactions in southern Jiangsu. There were significant differences in the results of PPD positive and negative reactions between different regions(χ2=4.35, P<0.05). There was 1 case of PPD positive reactions among 3-year-old children(0.71%), 19 cases among 4-year-old children(3.89%), 31 cases among 5-year-old children(8.96%), and 37 cases among 6-year-old children(9.63%), and the differences of PPD positive reactions of different age groups were of statistical significance(χ2=21.69, P<0.01).
Conclusion
The positive rate of PPD in preschool children in Jiangsu Province is very low, indicating that PPD can be used as a detection method for latent infection in children. The overall positive rate of PPD in preschool children in Jiangsu Province is also low, and appropriate measures should be taken to protect susceptible children and effectively prevent and control childhood tuberculosis.
