BACKGROUND: In China, diabetic patients suffer from various chronic complications with a higher prevalence, which is nearly close to that in developed countries. Especially in Xinjiang, the prevalence is much higher than the average level, and the level of disease control is very poor as a whole.OBJECTIVE: To study the actuality of controlling type 2 diabetes mellitus in Xinjiang so as to analyze its relationship with disease courses.DESIGN: Cluster sampling and stratified analysis.SETTING: Department of Endocrinology, Xinjiang General Hospital of Chinese People's Armed Police Forces.PARTICIPANTS: The survey was conducted at ten treatment centers of Xinjiang(the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang MedicalUniversity, People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uigur Autonomous Region, Urumchi Hospital of Air Force of Chinese PLA, Railway Hospital of Xinjing Uigur Autonomous Region, Military Unit Hospital of Xinjiang, Kuitun Central Hospital of Yili Region of Xinjiang, Kelamay People's Hospital of Xinjiang, Kuler People's Hospital of Xinjiang, the First Division Hospital of Xinjiang Military Unit for Produce and Building, Xinjiang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine). Totally 646 type 2 diabetic patients who had received treatment for diabetes mellitus for 12 months, at any of the centers were randomly recruited with cluster sampling method including 337 males and 309 females. According to different courses of disease, the subjects were divided into 6 groups: 202 cases in group of ＜ 3 years, 89 in group of 3-4 years,89 in group of 5-6 years, 77 in group of 7-9 years, 108 in group of 10-14years, and 81 in group of ≥ 15 years. All the subjects agreed to participate in the survey.METHODS: Patients detected their blood sugar level and urine sugar level themselves with portable diabetograph and test paper. For them, there were at least four days per week to take diabetic diet which was considered as common diet control, and there were at least three days per week to participate in leisure activity and at least half an hour per day to spend in proper exercise which was considered as frequent exercise. Complications of diabetes mellitus were diagnosed with clinical manifestation, disease history and objective examination. The survey was performed through letter,telephone counseling, and patient's reexamination. Enumeration data was analyzed with chi-square test.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Differences in blood sugar, urine sugar, management of living style, prevalence of complications in all the diabetic patients with different courses of disease.RESULTS: There were 645, 645, 643, 646 patients with complete data of blood sugar and urine sugar determined periodically at home, participated in the observation of the management of living style, prevalence of diabetic complications and treatment for diabetes mellitus, respectively. ①There was no significant difference in blood sugar and urine sugar level deter mined at home every month among patients of different courses (P ＞ 0.05). ② There was no difference in diet control and exercise among patients of different courses (P ＞ 0.05). ③In patients with disease course of ＜ 15 years, prevalence of the complication in large vessels and extremity,retinopathy, and positive expression of proteinuria presented an increased tendency; whereas, a decreased tendency was found in patients with the disease course of ≥ 15 years(χ2=34.16,60.64,49.18,P=0.00). ④The proportion of applied therapies, such as diet control and exercise, oral antidiabetic drug, insulin, and insulin plus oral anti-diabetic drug, was different in patients with different disease courses (χ2=97.88 ,P=0.00). In patients with short disease courses, diet control or oral anti-diabetic drug was administrated more usually; in those with long disease courses, insulin treatment or insulin plus oral anti-diabetic drug was applied more frequently.CONCLUSION: ①Whether patients determine their blood sugar and urine sugar levels by themselves is not correlated with patients' disease courses. ②Diet control and exercise are not in correlation with disease courses. ③ For patients with the disease course of less than 15 years, the proportion of prevalence of various diabetic complications is increased with the increase of disease courses; for those with the disease course of more than 15 years, however, it is decreased significantly. ④Simple diet control or oral anti-diabetic drug is often applied in patients with short disease courses while insulin or insulin plus oral anti-diabetic drug are administrated in most patients with long disease courses.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effects and the possible defense mechanisms of Shenmai injection on acute lung injury.Methods SD rats were randomly divided into three groups:the control group(NS),the oleic acid group(OA)and the Shenmai injection group(SM).The modal of acute lung injury in rat(OA group and SM group)were induced by receiveing 0.1ml/kg oleic acid injection into tail vein,and NS group were injected 0.9% sodium chloride 0.1ml/kg.After in jecting loeic acid SM group were injected with Shenmai injection by 2ml each one.The expression of ICAM-1 was examined meanwhile examining breath frequency,wet/dry weight ratio,artery blood oxygen each group of rats,the histopathologieal change of lung tissue was observed.Results The W/D ratio,polymorphonuclear(PMN)infiltration,the lung interstitial edema,the extent of pulmonary alvedus wall destroys and the ICAM-1 expression in lung tissue of OA group increasingly increased compared with NS group,and SM group significantly decreased compared with OA group.Also along with time extending,the ICAM-1 expression of OA group devates gradually,while SM group does not change significantly.The arterial partial pressure of oxygen in group OA significantly decreased compared with NS group,while SM group increased compared with OA group.The microscope demonstrated that the extent of lung injury of OA group was more serious than that of NS group,while OA group was milder than OA group.Conclusion Shenmai injection can lighten oleic acid induced acute lung iniury,and cut down the expression of ICAM-1 in lung tissue.So it has a certain function to the early the acute lung injury.

Objective To analyse the relationship between Calpain10 gene UCSNP43 and UCSNP44 poly morphisms and diabetes in familial type 2 diabetes mellitus of Uygur in Xinjiang.Methods Sixty-two Uygur type 2 diabetic families were enrolled.The polymorphisms of Calpain10 gene UCSNP43 and UCSNP44 were measured by SNP-stream of gene chip.Results (1) The heritability of the first degree relative and the second degree relative in Uygur familial type 2 diabetes were 0.578 and 0.032.(2)There was no difference between UCSNP43 and UCSNP44 polymorphisms of the first and second degree relatives in familial type 2 diabetes mellitus.(3)The carriers of USCNP43 AA genotype had higher body mass index and fasting insulin than GG and GA genotypes carriers.Conclu sion With the downgrading of the familial relationship,the heritability of type 2 diabetes mellitus was decreasing. The carriers of UCSNP43 AA genotype might have higher insulin resistance than those with GG and AG genotypes.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and distribution of pre-diabetes and diabetes mellitus in Han population aged over 60 years in Urumqi. Methods The physical examination and 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were performed in 2210 people, including 1231 elderly people aged over 60 years (old age group) and 951 people aged 40-59 years (middle age group). The diagnosis of diabetes mellitus was established according to WHO criteria in 1999. Results In Han ethnic people, the prevalence rates of diabetes mellitus and pre-diabetes were 32.2% and 29.0% respectively in old age group, and were significantly higher than in middle age group ( 12.3% and 20.9%,x2= 192.62, P＜0.05). The prevalence rates of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) were higher in old age group than in middle age people (21.6% vs. 13.9%, x2 = 20.97, P＜0.05), but there was no significant difference in the prevalence rate of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) between the two groups. The prevalence rate of metabolism syndrome (MS) was higher in old age group than in middle age group (52.2% vs. 33.7%, x2 =73.77, P＜0.05). The multivariable analysis showed that hypertriglyceridemia, hypertension, family history of diabetes mellitus were risk factors for development of diabetes mellitus in elderly Han population (x2 =44.34, P＜0.05). Conclusions The prevalence rates of diabetes and pre-diabetes are considerably high in the current state. It should be strengthened to prevent and treat diabetes mellitus and pre-diabetes in Urumqi Han population,especially in residents aged over 60 years.

Interpreting genes of interest is essential for identifying molecular mechanisms, but acquiring such information typically involves tedious manual retrieval. To streamline this process, the fanyi package offers tools to retrieve gene information from sources like National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), significantly enhancing accessibility. Additionally, understanding the latest research advancements and sharing achievements are crucial for junior researchers. However, language barriers often restrict knowledge absorption and career development. To address these challenges, we developed the fanyi package, which leverages artificial intelligence (AI)-driven online translation services to accurately translate among multiple languages. This dual functionality allows researchers to quickly capture and comprehend information, promotes a multilingual environment, and fosters innovation in academic community. Meanwhile, the translation functions are versatile and applicable beyond biomedicine research to other domains as well. The fanyi package is freely available at https://github.com/YuLab-SMU/fanyi.

Objective:To summarize the clinical features and postoperative efficacy of patients with oval window atresia accompanied by facial nerve aberration.Methods:The clinical data of patients with congenital middle ear malformation with facial nerve aberration admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 97 cases (133 ears) in total. Among them, 39 patients (44 ears) had complete follow-up data, including 27 male patients and 12 females, aged 7-48 years old, with an average age of 17.8 years old. Of these, 14 cases (16 ears) were patients combined with facial nerve aberration, and 25 cases (28 ears) were without facial nerve aberration. The results of imaging examination, pure-tone audiometry, selection of surgical strategy, intraoperative findings and postoperative hearing improvement were summarized and analyzed. The malformations of malleus, incus, stapes, oval window and facial nerve were recorded. Prism 9 software was used to statistically analyze the mean bone conductance and air-bone gap of patients before and after surgery.Results:All the 14 patients (16 ears) with middle ear malformation accompanied by facial nerve aberration and oval window atresia showed poor hearing and no facial palsy since childhood. High resolution CT (HRCT) examination of temporal bone, pure tone audiometry and Gelle test were performed before surgery. The malformations of malleus, incus, stapes, oval window and facial nerve were recorded. Preoperative high-resolution CT (HRCT) examination of temporal bone found 12 ears with 4 or more deformities, accounting for 75.00%, in the group of patients with facial nerve malformation. The preoperative average bone conductive threshold was (15.3±10.4) dB and the average air-bone gap was (46.3±10.6) dB in pure-tone audiometry (0.5, 1, 2, 4kHz). According to the different degrees of facial nerve and ossicle malformation, we performed three different hearing reconstruction strategies for the 14 patients (16 ears) with facial nerve aberration and oval window atresia, including 7 ears of incus bypass artificial stape implantation, 7 ears of Malleostapedotomy (MS) and 2 ears of Malleus-cochlear-prothesis (MCP). After 3 months to 18 months of follow-up, all patients showed no facial paralysis. The postoperative mean bone conductive threshold was (15.7±7.9) dB and air-bone gap was (19.8±8.5) dB. There were significant differences in mean air-bone gap before and after operation ( t=7.766, P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between the mean bone conductive threshold before and after surgery ( t=0.225, P=0.824). There was no significant difference of mean reduction of air-bone gap between patients with and without facial nerve aberration ( t=1.412, P=0.165). There was no significant difference between the three hearing reconstruction strategies. There was no significant displacement of the Piston examined by U-HRCT. Conclusion:For patients of middle ear malformation whose facial nerve cover the oval window partially, incus bypass artificial stape implantation or Malleostapedotomy (MS) can be selected according to the specific condition of auditory ossis malformation, and for patients whose facial nerve completely covers the oval window area, Malleus-cochlear-prothesis (MCP) can be selected. Three types of stapes surgery are safe and reliable for patients with oval window atresia accompanied by facial nerve aberration. There was no significant difference in efficacy between them. Preoperative HRCT assessment of middle ear malformation is effective. There is no significant difference of surgical effect with or without facial nerve aberration. The U-HRCT can be used to evaluate the middle ear malformation before surgery and the Piston implantation status after surgery. Due to the risks of surgery, those who do not want to undergo surgery can choose artificial hearing AIDS, such as hearing aid, vibrating soundbridge, bone bridge or bone-anchored hearing aid.

Objective: To investigate the mechanism of Yishen Tongluo Formula in ameliorating renal pyroptosis in diabetic nephropathy mice by regulating the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Methods: Sixty C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into control (10 mice) and intervention groups (50 mice) using random number table method. The diabetes nephropathy model was established by intraperitoneally injecting streptozotocin(50 mg/kg). After modeling, the intervention group was further divided into model, semaglutide (40 μg/kg), and high-, medium-, and low-dose Yishen Tongluo Formula groups (15.6, 7.8, and 3.9 g/kg, respectively) using random number table method. The high-, medium-, and low-dose Yishen Tongluo Formula groups were administered corresponding doses of medication by gavage, the semaglutide group received a subcutaneous injection of semaglutide injection, and the control group and model groups were administered distilled water by gavage for 12 consecutive weeks. Random blood glucose levels of mice in each group were monitored, and the 24-h urinary protein content was measured using biochemical method every 4 weeks; after treatment, the serum creatinine and urea nitrogen levels were measured using biochemical method. The weight of the kidneys was measured, and the renal index was calculated. Hematoxylin and eosin, periodic acid-Schiff, periodic Schiff-methenamine, and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes in renal tissue. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect urinary β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) levels. Western blotting and real-time fluorescence PCR were used to detect the relative protein and mRNA expression levels of nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat and pyrin domain-containing receptor 3 (NLRP3), Caspase-1, gasdermin D (GSDMD), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and interleukin-18 (IL-18) in renal tissue. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the proportion of protein staining area of the TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB in renal tissue. Results: Compared with the control group, the random blood glucose, 24-h urinary protein, serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, and renal index of the model group increased, and the urine β2-MG, NGAL, and KIM-1 levels increased. The relative protein and mRNA expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase-1, GSDMD, IL-1β, and IL-18 in renal tissue increased, and the proportion of TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB protein positive staining areas increased (P<0.05). Pathological changes such as glomerular hypertrophy were observed in the renal tissue of the model group. Compared with the model group, the Yishen Tongluo Formula high-dose group showed a decrease in random blood glucose after 12 weeks of treatment (P<0.05). The Yishen Tongluo Formula high- and medium-dose groups showed a decrease in 24-h urinary protein, creatinine, urea nitrogen, and renal index, as well as decreased β2-MG, NGAL, and KIM-1 levels. NLRP3, Caspase-1, GSDMD, IL-1 β, and IL-18 relative protein and mRNA expression levels were also reduced, and the proportion of TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB protein positive staining areas was reduced (P<0.05). Pathological damage to renal tissue was ameliorated. Conclusion Yishen Tongluo Formula may exert protective renal effects by inhibiting renal pyroptosis and alleviating tubular interstitial injury in diabetic nephropathy mice by regulating the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway.
