Objective:
To explore the influencing factors for sarcopenia among elderly male patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), so as to provide the basis for the early prevention and treatment of sarcopenia.
Methods:
Male T2DM patients aged 60 and above admitted to Hangzhou First People's Hospital from January to December 2024 were selected as the study subjects. Demographic data, T2DM complications, and blood biochemical parameters were collected. Physical activity levels were assessed using the Chinese version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The diagnosis of sarcopenia was made according to the diagnostic procedures and criteria established by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia in 2019. Factors affecting sarcopenia among elderly male patients with T2DM were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 455 elderly male patients with T2DM were surveyed, with a mean age of (71.80±9.55) years. The predominant physical activity level was moderate with 226 cases accounting for 49.67%. The disease course of T2DM was mainly from 10-<20 years, with 229 cases accounting for 50.33%. There were 140 cases of T2DM complications, accounting for 30.77%. A total of 138 cases of sarcopenia were detected, with a prevalence of 30.33%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR=1.077, 95%CI: 1.003~1.156), body mass index (<18.5kg/m2, OR=11.056, 95%CI: 3.343~36.547; 18.5~<25.0 kg/m2, OR=2.633, 95%CI: 1.420~4.881), physical activity level (low, OR=2.469, 95%CI: 1.421~4.292), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (yes, OR=1.871, 95%CI: 1.091~3.206), T2DM complications (yes, OR=3.015, 95%CI: 1.516~6.001), glycated hemoglobin (≥7%, OR=2.822, 95%CI: 1.423~5.590) and albumin (OR=0.810, 95%CI: 0.662~0.991) were factors affecting sarcopenia among elderly male patients with T2DM (P<0.05).
Conclusion
Advanced age, body mass index <25.0 kg/m2, low physical activity level, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, T2DM complications, high glycated hemoglobin and low albumin are associated with a higher risk of sarcopenia in elderly male patients with T2DM.

Objective To investigate the improvement effect and mechanism of Modified Kongsheng Zhenzhong Dan medicated serum on mitochondrial function of PC12 cells injured by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion(OGD/R)based on the SIRT1/PGC-1α pathway.Methods PC12 cells were used to construct OGD/R cell model in vitro.Cell grouping:normal group(10%FBS),model group(10%FBS),10%drug-containing serum group,5%drug-containing serum group(5%drug-containing serum+5%blank serum),10%blank serum group(control group).CCK-8 method was used to detect the cell survival rate,and the appropriate oxygen glucose deprivation time(2,4,6,8 hours)was screened.MTT assay was used to detect cell activity;mitochondrial stress test(MST)was used to detect the oxygen consumption rate(OCR).Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry(Annexin V-PE/7-AAD double staining).The protein expression levels of SIRT1 and PGC-1α in PC12 cells were detected by Western Blot.Results Compared with the normal group,the activity of PC12 cells decreased significantly after oxygen-glucose deprivation for 2,4,6 and 8 hours(P<0.05),and 6 hours of oxygen-glucose deprivation was selected as the time of subsequent experimental modeling.Compared with the normal group,the cell activity of the model group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).The OCR values of basic respiration value,maximum respiration value,proton leakage,ATP production and standby respiration ability were significantly decreased(P<0.05).The apoptosis rate was significantly increased(P<0.05).The protein expression levels of SIRT1 and PGC-1α in cells were significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the cell activity of the Modified Kongsheng Zhenzhong Dan 10%and 5%drug-containing serum groups was significantly increased(P<0.05).The OCR values of basal respiration value,maximum respiration value,proton leakage,ATP production and spare breathing ability were significantly increased(P<0.05).The apoptosis rate was significantly decreased(P<0.05).The protein expression levels of SIRT1 and PGC-1α in cells were significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion The Modified Kongsheng Zhenzhong Dan medicated serum can improve mitochondrial dysfunction,inhibit neuronal apoptosis and promote neuronal survival in OGD/R-injured PC12 cells.The mechanism may be related to the activation of SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway.
8.Effectss of persistent obesity on lung function in school age children
Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(4):549-553
Objective:
To analyze the impact of persistent obesity on their lung function, so as to offer insights for implementing intervention measures to increase lung function in obese school age children.
Methods:
A total of 335 children from the Sheyang Mini Birth Cohort established in 2009 in Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, who participated in the follow up at the ages of 7 years (2016) and 10 years (2019), were selected as the study participants. Physical measurements including height, weight, and lung function were recorded. According to the World Health Organization standard, that is, gender and age specific to correct the body mass index to calculate the body mass index Z score, was used to evaluate the obesity status of children at the age of 7 and 10. Children were divided into four groups, including sustained non obesity group, restored obesity group, newly classified obesity group, and persistent obesity group. Meanwhile, the lung function prediction equations recommended by the Global Lung Function Initiative were used to standardize the lung function indexes of children. Pulmonary function differences among these groups were examined, and the relationship between childhood obesity and pulmonary function was longitudinally analyzed using generalized estimating equations.
Results:
The prevalence of obesity were 9.0% and 16.1% at the age of 7 and 10 years, respectively. The proportion of both newly classified and persistent obesity group were 8.1%, respectively. The forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) were (1 269.90±202.70) and (1 415.70±230.00) mL, respectively, at the age of 7 years. FEV 1 and FVC at the age of 10 years were (1 440.80±403.20) and (1 555.60±517.60) mL, respectively. Cross sectional analysis at age 7 showed that forced expiratory flow at 75% vital capacity (FEF 75 ) ( β=-0.52, 95%CI =-0.96--0.07) and maximal mid expiratary flow (MMEF) ( β=-0.45, 95%CI =-0.89--0.00) were significantly lower in obese children compared to their non obese peers ( P < 0.05). Longitudinal analysis indicated that obese children had lower levels of lung pulmonary function, with a statistically significant difference in FEV 1 ( β=-0.44, 95%CI=-0.85--0.02, P <0.05). There was no significant difference among the various obesity groups ( P >0.05), while gender stratified results revealed significant reductions in FEV 1/FVC in newly classified obese girls at age 10 years ( β=-1.76, 95%CI =-3.13--0.38) and in MMEF in persistently obese girls at age 10 years ( β=-1.44, 95%CI = -2.79- -0.09) ( P <0.05).
Conclusion
Obesity may contribute to reduced lung function levels in school aged children, with newly classified and persistent obesity having more pronounced effects on lung function in girls.
